The public relations company Parker found was very effective in controlling public opinion, but Ava was not willing to give up, so her Internet water army and her brainless fans came in large numbers to the comments area of all kinds of related news, constantly brainwashing the netizens who were watching the show.

Therefore, suddenly, there was a heated discussion on the Internet.

Fortunately, the evidence Meredith found was conclusive for the average person could make clear what was going on.

As the public opinion was about to come back under control, Ava suddenly called again.

Meredith answered. She expected Ava's angry voice, but out of her expectation, Ava was very calm. Ava's behavior was so abnormal that it immediately alerted Meredith.

"Meredith, I am negligent in this matter, but don't be complacent. Now that I haven't exposed the fact that you have ever been in prison. Do you want everyone to know that you're a criminal who's been out of prison for only a few months?"

Meredith's hand froze, and she felt a chill running against her blood. Ava's words woke her up from the joy of her successful counterattack.

Ava was right. She still got something on her. She could spread the news that she had ever been to jail.

In that case, even if Meredith clarified that she was the other woman, she couldn't remove the stigma of being a criminal so that she would live under everyone's strange eyes for the rest of her life and would never get back up.

"Think about it. I know it's Parker who's helping you now, but will he still help you when he knows you're a criminal?”

Ava hung up the phone. Meredith sat on the ground with a glazed look in her eyes and her phone slipped through her powerless hands.

At this moment, she had the urge to smash everything in front of her.

It was unfair that Ava easily pinned the blame on her for hitting someone, and now Ava threatened her with this blame in a superior tone.

Was there justice and fairness in this world?

When Parker came back with the things he had bought, he saw Meredith sitting motionless on the ground.

Her complexion, which was already fairer than ordinary people, was now abnormally pale. Her usually bright eyes were dim, and she looked like a fragile doll, emitting a depressing sense of despair.

This sense of despair made Parker's heart tremble. He rushed over immediately and patted Meredith on the shoulder where his hand felt cold.

Only then did Parker realize that she was sitting on the floor in a thin bathrobe, and that she didn't even turn on the air conditioner. In this cold winter, she was still sitting on the cold floor. What exactly happened?

Parker, however, didn't have time to think too much. He picked Meredith up from the ground, stuffed her into a thick quilt, and then turned on the air conditioner to the highest temperature. "What's wrong, Meredith? What happened?”

"Mr. He, stop. I'm sorry. I'm too useless..."

It took Meredith a long time to react. Her eyelashes were trembling. She couldn't even tell Parker why she did this. She didn't know how the man in front of her would treat her after learning that she had been in prison...

If he left her, Meredith really didn't know what to do.

"Why?" Parker could not understand her words, but he was sure that something happened to her. Meredith couldn't say it out, so she buried her head in the quilt dejectedly.

Meredith was like an ostrich with her head in the quilt. Parker looked at the little woman who began to deceive herself, feeling helpless, but he still patiently persuaded, "Aren't we friends? You can say anything. Believe me."

Meredith hesitated for a long time, but Parker waited patiently. Finally, she mustered up the courage to say, "I'm going to tell you a very unbelievable story. Do you really want to hear it?"

Parker nodded.

Meredith then told him everything. She told him about her nightmare encounters on her 18th birthday. She had thought that she would not tell anyone about this dark past before the case was overturned.

Parker listened in silence. The more he listened, the darker his eyes became. It was hard to guess what he was thinking.

Meredith quieted down and waited anxiously for Parker's reaction, but he remained silent, like a statue, without saying a word.

He probably didn't believe her words either... Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meredith suddenly felt stupid telling him this. If she heard someone say such a strange story for no reason, she would only think that this person was shirking responsibility.

What's more, after Meredith went to prison, The Masons began to do pro bono devotedly and invested in a lot of not-for-profit social organizations in order to maintain the image and reputation of The Masons. The Masons was already known for its contribution to charity.

Meredith, on the other hand, was merely a prisoner, and her reputation had long been ruined by Ava's deliberate scheme.

Ava was a renowned philanthropist; Meredith, a wretched prisoner. How could normal people believe the latter?

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving now..." Meredith lifted the quilt and stood up, intending to leave.

She didn't want to be pointed at by her nose and driven out. She volunteered to leave, so no one would be too embarrassed.

"Stop, wait a minute. I believe what you said." Seeing that she was staggering to leave, Parker quickly pressed her down. "You are so weak now, where else can you go? Besides, there are people outside who want to find something against you. You stay here.”

Meredith looked at him, her eyes full of disbelief, but also a little joy, "You really believe me?" Parker nodded heavily. "But it was... was beyond the limits of the average person's imagination.” After saying that, Parker's deep eyes looked at Meredith's pale face. His eyes were filled with worries and other inexplicable emotions.

Meredith was a little embarrassed by his stare, and her face blushed. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Thank you."

"Never mind. I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'll settle this.”

Parker looked away. There was an indescribable mix of emotions in his eyes, but Meredith looked down and didn't see his eyes.

After that, Parker walked out.

As soon as he left the apartment, Parker accurately called Ava, and soon the call was connected. Ava looked at the name on her phone and panicked. "K, why did you call me?"

"Because I have something to talk to you about.”

Parker answered in a different voice than usual. There was a chilling coldness in his voice.

Ava shuddered and couldn't help but recall the fear and nightmare he had brought to her back then...
