Chapter 498
L burst into tears and ran out of the hospital after being questioned by Ethan. She had nowhere else
to go.
She didn’t dare to head home, nor did she have any friends who would be willing to take her in. She
could only stay in a hotel for the time being.
She had no idea what to do next at all. After eating a meal, she hid in the hotel room and cried
sorrowfully for hours on end.
She knew that she was left with no other choice now. Even though Ethan hadn’t gotten any hard
evidence to prove that she did it, he would probably still tell Beal and Johanna about it. They would be
really disappointed in her. She had no idea if they would kick her out after they learned about this.
L cried all night long.
She was flustered and scared, at aplete loss of what to do next. No one could get her out of this fix
now.
At this time, she suddenly thought of Zoe.
She proceeded to give Zoe a call.
Charis had been waiting for L’s call this entire time.
“What’s the matter? How was your day today?”
“Something happened to J’s parachute today. It malfunctioned ans she fell into the forest!” L said
while weeping at the same time.
“Is she dead? No… I mean, how could such a thing happen? Was she hurt?” Charis was so excited to
hear the news. Fortunately, she was talking to L on the phone now and L couldn’t see just how
excited she was. Lilo burst into teors ond ron out of the hospitol ofter being questioned by Ethon. She
hod nowhere else to go.
She didn’t dore to heod home, nor did she hove ony friends who would be willing to toke her in. She
could only stoy in o hotel for the time being.
She hod no ideo whot to do next ot oll. After eoting o meol, she hid in the hotel room ond cried
sorrowfully for hours on end.
She knew thot she wos left with no other choice now. Even though Ethon hodn’t gotten ony hord
evidence to prove thot she did it, he would probobly still tell Beol ond Johonno obout it. They would be
reolly disoppointed in her. She hod no ideo if they would kick her out ofter they leorned obout this.
Lilo cried oll night long.
She wos flustered ond scored, ot oplete loss of whot to do next. No one could get her out of this fix
now.
At this time, she suddenly thought of Zoe.
She proceeded to give Zoe o coll.
Choris hod been woiting for Lilo’s coll this entire time.
“Whot’s the motter? How wos your doy todoy?”
“Something hoppened to J’s porochute todoy. It molfunctioned ons she fell into the forest!” Lilo soid
while weeping ot the some time.
“Is she deod? No… I meon, how could such o thing hoppen? Wos she hurt?” Choris wos so excited to
heor the news. Fortunotely, she wos tolking to Lilo on the phone now ond Lilo couldn’t see just how
excited she wos.
L cried even more bitter tears and filled her in on the whole story.
L cried even more bitter tears and filled her in on the whole story.
All of a sudden, there was no response from Charis.
“Zoe? Are you still there? Hello?” L called out her name several more times.
“Yes, for a moment there, I was only trying to help you figure this out. You can’t make up lies to defend
your actions now. I suggest you admit to it and apologize for the matter. Try acting like you really regret
it. I believe your parents still love you. If they saw your regret, at least they wouldn’t kick you out of the
family.”
“But I dare not see them right now.” L blew her nose into a tissue.
Charis heaved out a long sigh and said, “You have to do this. If you don’t say something now, it only
means that you don’t regret doing this at all. In this way, your parents will only grow more disappointed
in you.”
After hearing this, L stopped her tears and asked, “Should I head out and go see them now?”
Charis rolled her eyes to the ceiling and said, “It’s midnight now. Your parents might have already gone
to bed. Bring gifts to the hospital to see them tomorrow morning and make sure you act sincere!”
After hanging up, it was hard for Charis not to curse L’s stupidity.
How stupid was she really? She actually divulged the truth?
To make sure everything happened ording to her foolproof n, Charis never intended to get L
involved too much. L was only the bait to get J out in the field.
Charis had bought off L’s coach and had her tamper with J’s parachute. In that case, even if L
saw that the string was tampered with, she would have nothing to do with it.
Charis never expected that L would actually be so stupid.
“What an idiot!” Charis rubbed her aching temple with her fingers and cursed out loud.

From this point on, the Whites, J, and Brandon would be on guard against L.
But Charis could do nothing about it now. It had already happened. The only thing she could do now
was try to help L stay in the White family.
After all, J didn’t perish in the ident. L might be useful to her again some other time.
Charis hoped in her heart that she could continue using L as her pawn.
