Chapter 1767

“I’ve taken care of the police. I thought I could wash my hands after my friend had taken the blame for me, but I didn’t think stop to think that Jared was this brave…”

Damien’s gaze turned dark. “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! He definitely left traces!”

Everett felt warm when he saw his father defending him, but he knew that Jared was way more ruthless than he was.

“My car is a wreck, so how can we find traces? Dad, don’t waste your time,” he said.

He did not want his father to waste his time, but Damien was through the roof when he heard that.

“Son of a b*tch!n He kicked a trash can to blow some steam off.

Everett then picked himself up a little. “Don’t worry, dad. I will get the fire crest for you… Since we’re openly against each other now, I’m no longer afraid of anyone!”

Seeing how persistent his son was in getting the fire crest, Damien was touched to know that his son had taken his words seriously. However, he could not help but sigh when he thought of the person they were dealing with.

“Stay out of this. Look at Chloe now. I don’t want the same to happen to you. I’ll take care of this!”

Damien clenched his fists and walked out.

Everett knew that Damien was just strong and tough on the outside.

However, he remained silent anyways. He had his own plans, and he did not need to tell his father.

Under his father’s arrangement, Everett felt his father’s concern and stayed in the hospital to recover from his injuries.

Even as Damien left the hospital, he was filled with rage. ‘This is all because of Daniel’s daughter!’

His son had almost died, and his daughter was paralyzed. Because of this, he could not just sit and wait.

As Mr. Riddle Sr. would not help him, he was not dead set on destroying the entire Riddle family!

He then got into the car without turning back.

Everett watched as his father got into the car from his hospital room’s window.

He then called Dick’s number.

“Hello, Everett? Are you okay?” Dick sounded weak, but from the tone of his voice, he was still concerned about Everett.

“I’m fine, and it’s because you’ve protected me.”

Indeed, if Dick had not reacted quickly enough, Everett would have suffered even graver injuries.

“How are you?” Everett asked.

And though he sounded like he was very worried, there was absolutely no warmth in his eyes.

Dick was surprised, for Everett was more concerned about him in comparison to Cam.

“I’m fine… My back is badly burned though…” he said, as he could only sleep on his stomach now.

“Take your time to recover. The medical bill and your wages will be taken care of. Just get some rest for now.”

He needed time for his face to recover as well, and it did not look like he would be able to go out in the open for the time being.

‘Jared… He’s fine when he doesn’t do anything, but when he does, he’s brutal,’ Everett surmised.

Still, they were cut from the same cloth. Everett had been cruel to Nicole too. It was just that he had underestimated Jared’s love for his fiancee…

“Got it. Thank you, Everett.” Dick thanked him.

Everett then nodded and hung up.
