Chapter 648: Chapter 349: Seeking Revenge for My Sister
He called Jane Quinlan after coming out of the doctor’s office.
As soon as she saw his name, Jane Quinlan immediately answered: "Forrest, have you arrived? How are things?"
"Not very optimistic, Wendy was brought to the hospital too late.
She underwent a craniotomy, but I’m afraid it probably won’t change anything.
There’s a high chance she won’t make it through tonight."
Hearing this, Jane Quinlan felt a heavy weight in her heart.
She glanced at the empty desk opposite hers and thought about her many confrontations with Wendy.
Suddenly, she felt how childish she had been at that time.
"Jane."
"Hmm?"
"You haven’t forgotten what I told you this morning, right?"
Jane nodded: "Yeah."
"Alright, I’m going out to see Wendy’s parents now, you behave."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Jane Quinlan still felt her eyes were moist.
Despite not being an emotional person, and the one dying not being her friend,
she didn’t know why, but she still felt sad.
After all, Wendy did warn her that day to be cautious of Evelyn Claire.
Why didn’t she consider then why Wendy would warn her?
Really... She had been too careless.
At noon, Kay Forrest did not return, so Jane Quinlan called Director Forrest, "Uncle, are you at the office? Kay went out for something, I want to join you for lunch."
"I didn’t go to the office today."
Jane pouted: "Ah, what a coincidence, then never mind, I’ll go out to eat by myself."
"Tut, it’s no fun eating alone.
I’ll have the housekeeper prepare something sour and refreshing for you.
Come and eat at our place.
I’ll send a car to pick you up, it’s not far anyway."
Grayson Forrest ate alone every day and was actually eager for company at meals.
"Wouldn’t it be a trouble for the housekeepers if I went now?"
"Not at all, don’t worry."
"Then I’ll drive over by myself, since I don’t have anything else to do," Jane said with a chuckle.
"Can you manage to drive by yourself?"
"It’s fine, I drove a few days ago when I went out to dine with Faye Townsend and the others. Kay had been drinking, and it was me who drove.
Uncle, you can rest assured, I’m an experienced driver now, no problem."
"Alright then, be careful on the road, I’ll have them start cooking."
After Jane Quinlan descended the stairs, she drove towards the Quinlan family’s old mansion.
It’s congested driving from the residential area to this place at this time.
But from the office to the residential area, the drive was smooth.
Upon arriving at the Forrest family’s old mansion, she parked the car and entered the villa.
She left so quickly that she didn’t notice the red sedan parked among a row of cars diagonally opposite the villa.
Inside, Evie Larkin had been sitting there, hesitating whether to get out and visit Grayson Forrest.
But the moment she saw Jane Quinlan enter, her expression immediately turned cold.
Jane Quinlan, again? Has she become so casual that she can just visit the Forrest family as a guest?
Clenching her teeth tightly and balling her fists, she remembered the words Kay Forrest had said to her, and her heart filled with rage.
If it weren’t for this woman, how could her life have turned out this way? She was filled with hate, a hate she could not quell.
As soon as Jane Quinlan entered the courtyard, the servants welcomed her in.
Director Forrest had heard some things about Wendy from his secretary and asked her at lunch about what exactly had happened.
Jane Quinlan briefed Director Forrest about the situation.
Director Forrest just shook his head; the company had an unusual amount of trouble recently.
One thing after another, with no explanation for how they happened.
Now, he felt powerless and lacked the energy to handle them, leaving all the trouble for Kay Forrest to deal with.
Grayson Forrest served food to Jane Quinlan: "Although I don’t know if you and Wendy were really close,
you should eat when it’s time to eat and sleep when it’s time to sleep.
Everyone has their fate.
When it’s time to go, any accident can take them away."
Jane Quinlan pouted: "Director Forrest, I just feel... actually, Wendy was wronged."
Grayson Forrest patted his leg with his hand: "Tell me, was it bad luck that I had a car accident and lost a leg?"
Jane Quinlan looked at him, "Of course, it’s very unfortunate."
"But at least, I survived that accident.
What about the person who saved me? He originally had nothing to do with that accident.
He didn’t know me, nor did he know anyone else in the car.
But in the end, he died trying to save me.
"So, wouldn’t you say he died unjustly?"
It took Jane Quinlan a while to respond after Grayson Forrest’s phone call: "To be honest, it’s very unjust."
"Yes, but on that day, had it not been for the false accusation against that person, I wouldn’t have gotten this second chance at life.
In a sense, that person’s misfortune turned out to be my luck.
Although it might seem inappropriate to say this, life often works that way.
The suffering you bear now might just be the bridge to someone else’s fortune."
Jane Quinlan was genuinely surprised. How could Grayson come up with such profound words?
Could it be that she was at a loss for words?
Grayson Forrest smiled: "That’s why, some things are not to be mourned; those who should endure it must go through it."
Jane Quinlan nodded. When it came to comforting others, Grayson’s skill was definitely deeper than Kay Forrest’s.
Kay Forrest and Annie stayed in the hospital until after eleven, then he glanced at his watch.
If he didn’t go back soon, the time limit for that woman’s detention would pass.
He had to leave.
He asked Annie to stay and observe the situation here for a couple of days while he left alone.
On his way back to Anchester, he had some lunch at a random restaurant before arriving at the police station.
Evelyn Claire was still as calm as yesterday, her expression serene.
Surrounded by several police officers, Kay Forrest sat down in front of her and looked at her.
Evelyn Claire pursed her lips, a hint of sarcasm on her face: "Seeing Director Forrest at the company used to be harder than climbing to heaven.
Now that the police have locked me here, I get to see you twice in such short order.
Is this the only way to see Director Forrest?"
Kay Forrest nonchalantly flicked the dust off his trouser legs as he crossed them.
"I’m not so idle that I meet just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
Evelyn, let’s be clear here.
Tell me, why did you kill Wendy?
Just because she found out your secret?
Sending parcels and scary videos isn’t that big of a crime.
But premeditated murder is a capital offense.
You, a well-educated person, should understand this, shouldn’t you?"
Evelyn Claire pursed her lips: "Director Forrest, please don’t accuse me wrongly.
To say I committed premeditated murder, you need evidence.
I know you have a powerful background, and even if I accuse you of framing me, I wouldn’t win.
But you can’t just make such accusations against me in front of all these officers, can you?"
Kay Forrest scoffed with disdain: "Wrongly accused? I, Kay Forrest, never bother with such petty things.
It looks like our company really harbors hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Who knew we had such a scheming woman among us?
Even if you are cunning, you seem to have forgotten, there’s a type of person called ’one who survives great perils.’
You chose a cliff that was too shallow for the car accident.
Of course, it’s also possible that Wendy is just lucky.
She was found in time and sent to the hospital.
The craniotomy went smoothly, and though she was not awake when I left Tuzhou,
by the time I got off the highway, Annie had called to tell me.
Wendy has awakened, her only issue now is that she can’t speak very well."
Evelyn Claire pursed her lips and smiled: "Wendy has been found? That’s great, once she’s awake, she should be able to vindicate me."
Kay Forrest mentally gave Wendy a thumbs-up.
This woman’s psychological strength was definitely the best he had ever seen, second to none.
"I know, you’re waiting for the 24-hour period to pass.
But you see, I, Kay Forrest, am a very stubborn person.
If I dislike someone, I make sure they are watched 24/7.
Don’t even think about running away after leaving here.
I won’t give you that chance.
Once Wendy is fully awake, I’ll have her ’clear your name’ properly."
He said with a sly smile and stood up to leave; then, as if remembering something, he turned back and said, "Ah, right, there’s a strange fact I bet nobody has had the chance to tell you yet.
The car you drove to Tuzhou didn’t have your fingerprints on it.
Don’t you find that strange?"
Evelyn Claire swallowed hard as she watched him.
Kay Forrest left with a wicked smile on his face.
After he was gone, Evelyn Claire furrowed her brows ever so slightly.
Is the Forrest family trying to eradicate the Claire family completely?
She refuses to tell them, refusing to say anything at all.
She must avenge her sister, and even if she cannot truly harm his core, she will not let him have an easy time.
