Chapter 553 Who's engaged?

"Stop talking. It'll only take about ten minutes to be stuck in a traffic jam. But we'll have to reset the route if taking the shortcut," Jaydan said in an impatiently annoyed voice.

There was a car on the right lane, ready to cut in line. Jaydan's driver turned the steering wheel skillfully and stepped on the accelerator, forcing the car to drive back.

"If you keep talking, I wont take you there," Jaydan said firmly in order to put Lainey off since he knew how stubborn she was.

Pursing her lips, Lainey reluctantly quieted down.

But soon, she realized that something was wrong.

"Why does it look more and more remote? Dad, are you taking the wrong way?"

He didn't expect her to notice it so soon, but he decided to avoid answering her question.

Lainey finally realized her father was not taking her to Ainsley's place.

She turned her head and shouted at him angrily, "Dad, how can you lie to me? Where are you taking me to? I wanna see Ainsley!"

"To the airport," Jaydan answered her question and then said to the driver, "Rob, drive faster."

"Okay, Mr. Salter," Rob replied.

"No, I can't go to the airport." Anxious, Lainey was about to unbuckle her seat belt. "Rob, stop the car! Drop me off!"

Shocked by her move, Jaydan hurried to lean over and hold her back, glaring at her. "Don't make a fuss! Are you trying to piss me off?"

Gazing misty-eyed into her dad, Lainey sobbed, "Dad, Ainsley is my best friend. I can't leave when she needs me."

"I can't put you in danger again," Jaydan said in a tough tone.

Rob stopped the car due to the red light. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Ms. Salter, you'd better listen to Mr. Salter. He hasn't slept well since you had an accident."

Lainey knew how much she meant to her father, which was exactly why she felt her head was about to explode.

She felt like she had become a balance between her father and her friend, and she had to choose one between them. It must be the most challenging problem in the world. She had no idea what to do!

Rob's words silenced her. Her father didn't release his hold on her hands until they reached the airport.

Jaydan took it as a wrong sign that she had thought it through, so he was gratified. "Lainey, I promise I'll visit Ainsley and tell you everything about her frankly if you go abroad."

But Lainey did not believe a single word he said.

In the large departure lounge, a piece of local news was playing on the huge screen up there. Lainey was stunned at the names mentioned in the report. She thought it must have been someone with the same name as Ainsley and Hume.

But as she turned about to see the pictures on the screen, it was her friends, Ainsley and Hume.

"It's reported that Mr. Hume and Ms. Easton have engaged in Fremont. It was very romantic..."

"Got engaged to Daniel Hume?" she thought.

She couldn't believe Ainsley had got engaged to Daniel.

She knew who Daniel was, but the point was how come Ainsley got engaged to him.

With cold sweat all over her head, she looked away from the screen to her father, but the latter didn't dare to meet her gaze. She noticed something wrong and walked straight to him. "Dad, you must know something. Tell me what happened when I was in a coma."

There were tears in her eyes as if she was about to cry.

"Lainey, she’s fine. Don't worry," Jaydan said.

Roman echoed his words, but he didn't even dare to look straight at Lainey.

"What on earth happened? Do you think I'll believe what you're saying now? Dad, Aisy lived in our house for some time after her family accident, and I know you like her very much. She helped you when your company was in trouble. Besides, what you know about my accident was not the whole story. Do you know I..."

"Shut up!" Roman suddenly shouted, looking at her painful face, "I'll tell you everything you want to know, but you must promise you won't hurt yourself."

"Okay," Lainey replied calmly.

Roman walked into the VIP lounge with her, followed by Jaydan, who couldn't allow them to stay alone.

At present, Lainey cared nothing about what happened to Ainsley.

In a dark room, Irene huddled in the corner with nobody looking after her. She had been living a luxurious life since she was a child, so she didn't understand why Clara, who had been taking care of her before, disappeared suddenly after her grandfather's accident as if she had disappeared into thin air with many treasures in the old house.

She felt lonely for the first time. She couldn't even find a person to count on. Her grandfather, who had been there for her, had been in a coma in the hospital. He might never wake up, as his doctor said.

All alone and helpless in Seattle, she found that all her relatives seemed to have disappeared.

The New Year was coming, but she curled up in the big house alone like a trapped beast, surrounded by inexplicable grief and despair, which almost swallowed her up.

She stroked her swollen and aching cheek. She would never forget the humiliation she had suffered in the seaside villa that day.

There was a photo tightly held in her hand. It was Ainsley's photo.
