"You despicable person!" Reese was so angry that she wanted to tear Ricardo apart. She couldn't understand why this person whom she calls father, who had watched her grow up, had become so repugnant towards her.
There is a saying that a daughter is her father's lover from a past life. She and Ricardo must have been enemies in their previous life. Otherwise, she couldn't fathom why he treated her this way.
Ricardo nonchalantly replied, "Whether I'm despicable or not doesn't matter, as long as I achieve my goals. Move fast, Reese. My patience is running thin."
Reese was both angry and sad, and Ava's eyes are becoming red as she took a look at her best friend. Ava was filled with anger, couldn't hold back any longer, and spoke coldly, "Mr. Roberts, are you even human? Reese is your daughter. How could you do this to her?"
Ricardo frowned, "And who are you?"
Angry, Ava retorted, "Who am I? You've been threatening to report me, yet you don't even know who I am. Let me tell you, don't go too far. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. It's just a letter, do you really think you have Reese's life in your hands?"
"As for sending me to jail, ha! if you have the guts, take the surveillance footage and report me right at this moment. If you don't put me in jail today, I'll make sure you won't live to see another day." Ava's voice was ruthless and cold, sending shivers down Ricardo's spine.
Feeling guilty, he said, "I won't talk to you. I'll talk to Reese. If such a thing happens again, don't expect to see her ever again."
After saying this, he quickly hung up the phone.
Ava was a supreme hacker, and with her expertise, no one would dare to offend her.
This was the first time she had encountered such a shameless and despicable person like Ricardo Roberts.
Ava gripped the phone that had been hung up with a cold and fierce expression.
Reese still looked somewhat dazed.
Ava calmed down and glanced at her. "Reese, I'm sorry I was impulsive, but I can't stand his threats towards you." She said.
She had been a bit impulsive earlier, but what if she had provoked Ricardo and he started burning the letter? After all, that letter held vital importance for Reese.
Reese shook her head slightly, "It's all right, you did the right thing. We can't be too lenient with him; otherwise, he might use this to threaten me forever. Maybe he really is determined to burn the letter, but based on what I know about him, he won't easily get rid of something he can use to control me. Don't worry about the letter; I'm not concerned about that. I'm just worried he might harm you. After all, he has the surveillance footage, and if he really decides to report you..."
Ava's eyes flickered, and she took her laptop from the back seat. While turning it on and connecting to the car's mobile network, she asked Reese, "When was your father's study computer installed?"
Reese mentioned a rough time frame.
Ava typed quickly on the keyboard.
Reese asked her, "What are you doing?"
At this moment, Cole hadn't finished work yet; he was called upstairs while discussing work with Lukas.
His phone was left on the sofa, and Lukas saw Reese's name on the screen, signaling him to answer.
Hearing Reese's voice, Cole's brow immediately furrowed, "What's wrong? Is something happening?"
Reese's tone was serious and earnest, "Here's the thing, Director. Ava and I got into some trouble, and we're now at the hospital. We don't have our cards, and we don't have enough money to pay for the medical expenses. Can you come over and help us settle the bill?"
Cole assumed they had been seriously injured when he heard this.
After all, Reese didn't let him transfer the money directly, but instead asked him to come over to the hospital, implying that they were either seriously injured and no one was caring for them, or they had been corrupted and needed his assistance.
"Which hospital are you in right now?" Cole asked. "Wait a minute, I'll be right over there."
"It's the Rivers Health Medical Center," Reese said, "where Ava was hospitalized the last time."
Cole hung up the phone and gave Lukas a solemn look. Before he could say anything, Lukas frowned at him and asked, "It's Reese, isn't it? what's wrong with her?"
