Chapter 42
Michael raised an eyebrow, about to say something, but Estelle cut him off. “Mr. Cooper, you should head back. I need to speak with Julian alone.”
Seeing this, Michael gave a slight nod. “Alright. Call me if you need anything.”
Julian’s expression darkened inexplicably. His face remained cold even after Michael left.
“We’re still married, and you’re already bringing another man here to bond with?”
Estelle was used to never hearing anything pleasant from him. She replied calmly, “Your phone was unreachable, and when I was brought to the hospital, the doctors were pressing me to pay the bill. I could only call someone I knew to help.
In reality, she had called Zara first.
But since she had gotten into the accident and couldn’t pick Sean up, she had to call Michael to explain the situation
Not long after, Michael arrived with Sean to visit her
Later, when Zara arrived, he and Sean left
Zara had stayed with her all night, and Estelle told her to go home and rest in the moming.
Estelle looked up at Julian “Or should I have just waited for the hospital to throw me out?”
Julian’s Adam’s apple bobbed, but he said nothing
While she had no one to tum to, he had been running around the hospital for Susan
Estelle picked up the food Michael had brought and ate at a steady pace.
The ward fell into a brief sllence.
It wasn’t until she had finished her meal that fullan suddenly asked, “How did you and Susan end up colliding?”
“You should be asking Ms Lynch that not me,” Estelle replied, her expression steady, completely unshaken. “I already told you Her
mine.
His gaze was deep and unreadable. But I spoke with witnesses. They y all said you rushed out suddenly without slowing down.”
Just as she had thought, it wasn’t an accident, Susan had done it on purpose…
Estelle mer his gaze “Did you find the surveillance footage from the scene?
Not yet”
She wasn’t the least bit surprised, Susan had prepared everything in advance. She wouldn’t have made such a careless mistake “So, what do you think, Mr. Grant?” Estelle’s tone was indifferent. “Do you think i crashed into Ms. Lynch on purpose?” “Intentional or not, you didn’t slow down. Based on witness statements, the accident is entirely your fault.
carsuddenly swerved
“The public is already talking about it. If you apologize to Susan publicly, we can consider this matter settlest.”
Lätelle’s eyes flickered, revealing a hint of surprise. She chuckled softly. “post in apology would do? Ms. Lynch is so badly injured. I thought you would insist on sending ine to jail”
Julian’s expression remained neutral. “Susan’s condition haft serious. I’ll handle things on her end Chice you apologize, I’ll put an end to the public backlash ” Estelle’s brow arclued sliglutly “so what you’re saying is, it I don’t apologize, you won’t do anything; to stop the online harassinent?
He lowered his gaze to her “atelle, Lowe Susan an explanation for what happened.”
Estelle could make all the trouble go away with a simple apology That wasn’t much of a punishment at all
