You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 184


    Unexpectedly, they met with the police again even though they did not want to.


    However, the case had to be handled no matter what.


    “The truck driver is still in custody, and preliminary findings indicated that he was drunk driving,” said


    the policeman.


    “Drunk driving?” Matthew asked with a piercing look in his eyes. “With the strictw enforcement in D


    City, who would dare to drive under the influence at night? How old is the driver? Does he have any


    criminal records? How on earth did he crash into Dn’s car?”


    Since this policeman was somewhat acquainted with Matthew, he replied frankly, “Mr. Tyson, are you


    suspecting foul intent from the truck driver?”


    Matthew twitched his fingers as he felt the sudden urge to smoke, but smoking was prohibited in the


    hospital.


    Moreover, he rarely smoked in front of rissa.


    Baffled by his spection, rissa asked, “Are you saying the truck driver deliberately caused the


    ident? Was he trying to attack you or me?”


    The answer was obvious. Anyone who wanted to ambush Matthew would have investigated his


    whereabouts beforehand.


    The car was clearly meant for rissa that night.


    Her face turned pale instantly as she was hit by the realization. “Thest time I went to Ellie’s studio, I


    was almost hit by a falling vase. Could that have been a deliberate act as well?” she questioned.


    Matthew’s gaze suddenly turned cold as he was not aware of that incident.


    His suspicions would have cropped up sooner if he had known about this earlier.


    He then asked a more pressing question, “When your employee Mandy was attacked that day, she was


    wearing your jacket, wasn’t she?”


    Everyone was stunned by his revtion, and the policemen were immediately able to connect the dots


    together.


    “Ms. Channing mentioned before that they said she wasn’t pretty enough. Perhaps they think Ms.


    Quigley is the prettier one?” one of the policemenmented.


    rissa clenched Matthew’s hand firmly while her entire body turned cold. She trembled with fear as


    she felt terror creeping up from the soles of her feet.


    If all these moves are really targeted at me, that means they are nning to kill me!


    She didn’t dare to think any further, and Matthew immediately held her in his arms tofort her.


    “re, there’s nothing to be scared of. I’m here, alright?” He lowered his head to kiss her on the


    forehead.


    The policemen decided to make a move so they could further investigate the matter. Mere spection


    was not enough to prove that those actions were targeted at rissa.


    “re, don’t be scared. I’ll take you home first, okay?” said Matthew.


    It was unsafe to be outdoors right now if there were really people after her.


    rissa knitted her brows into a tight frown, her eyes full of worry, confusion, and fear.


    Despite that, she didn’t want to leave.


    “If there are really people out to get me, then Dn has taken a major blow for me. I can’t just hide at


    home knowing that he’s fighting for his life in the hospital. My conscience won’t be clear,” she insisted.


    Matthew knew how feisty she could be, so he simply hugged her and let out a sigh. “Alright then. I’ll


    wait together with you,” he said.


    “Okay,” she agreed.


    After a long wait, the surgery finally came to an end, and the doctor announced that Dn was no


    longer in critical condition. rissa was worn out by the long wait, and Matthew had to hold her to


    prevent her from copsing.


    She heaved a huge sigh of relief and said jokingly, “Your expensive car sure wasn’t a waste.”


    He chuckled in response. “Yeah.”


    Later on, the two of them returned to Zen Hignds, but rissa remained worried even after rxing.


    Who on earth is trying to hurt me?


    How deep is this person’s hatred for me that he or she wants me dead?


    This person must really abhor me!


    rissa simply couldn’t understand why anyone would want to hurt her to this extent. She felt like there


    was a hidden danger constantly creeping up to her, and at her most vulnerable moment, it would


    suddenly appear and kill her.


    Matthew was aware of how worried she was, so he held her close in his embrace andforted her by


    saying, “re, we don’t know anything for sure yet, so try not to overthink. Perhaps those idents


    are just mere coincidences, and we’re being overly suspicious. As of now, I can assure you that our


    home is the safest ce to be. As long as I’m by your side, you don’t have anything to be afraid of.


    Come on, let’s go to bed now. It’s gettingte. You always say that beauty sleep is important, right? If


    you don’t get enough sleep tonight, you’ll wake up looking unpleasant tomorrow morning.”


    rissa brushed off his joke and replied in a serious manner, “I know, but I can’t help wondering who


    I’ve offended. How vicious is this enemy of mine that he or she wants me dead? Even if I have


    committed any heinous acts, this is not the right way to deal with me as thew will naturally take its


    course. This person must be a psychopathic murderer.”


    “re, nothing has been proven yet. You should get some sleep instead of thinking about this,”


    Matthew interjected.


    “But I… Hmm…” rissa was cut off abruptly by a kiss on her mouth.


    Just as she was getting engrossed in the kiss, Matthew suddenly stopped and patted her on the back,


    then gently whispered, “It’s time to sleep now. I’ll be here.”


    rissa then fell asleep with her hands around his arm.


    The next day, rissa and Matthew went to the hospital to visit Dn. Since Dn wasn’t awake yet,


    he sent her back to Zen Hignds.


    Matthew wanted to ensure that rissa was safe at all times, so he ordered everyone at Zen


    Hignds not to let any strangers in. On top of that, she had to seek his approval whenever she


    wanted to go out.


    He also assured her that he would handle the police investigation so she wouldn’t need to worry


    unnecessarily.


    Under Matthew’s instruction, rissa’s freedom was rather restricted.


    Her current situation wasn’t very different from her life in Zen Hignds before this. She would often


    stay indoors andze around all day without doing much.


    Nevertheless, she used to live like that out of her own choice. On the contrary, she was now being


    restricted by Matthew deliberately, and she did not feel good about this.


    After some time, Ellie finally came to know about rissa’s situation.


    She quickly rushed to Zen Hignds and asserted her views to rissa. “It’s definitely Sienna. She’s


    the only one who knows about you and my Uncle Matt, and she was recently jilted by him. Who else


    could be holding a grudge against you besides her? It must be her.”


    Despite Ellie’s usations, rissa didn’t believe that Sienna was such a malicious person.


    Sienna was a shrewd person, and she would have used her wits to get rids of her rivals instead of


    resorting to such violent methods.

    “We don’t have any evidence that proves it’s her. All we can do is wait for the police to carry out their


    investigation,” said rissa.


    “You still want to wait for the police? It’s been such a long time, and there hasn’t been any oue.


    You can wait all you want, but I’m going to get someone else to look into the matter,” Ellie replied.


    She then made a phone call and started talking before the other party could even address her, “Hello,


    rissa Quigley is my future aunt, and someone is after her life right now. It’s clearly a criminal case.


    Are you not going to do anything?”


    She continued babbling, “Oh so you know about this…? Why aren’t you doing more? Okay, okay,


    whatever. It’s none of your business. Hmph.”


    Just like that, Ellie hung up the phone.


    She then turned to rissa and said, “My uncle is on top of all this. He’ll make sure the police do their


    job.”


    Didn’t she just question that person’s capabilities?


    rissa chuckled and said, “Since when did you have a friend in the police force? One who’s in charge


    of criminal cases too.”


    Ellie felt uneasy as she answered, “I have tons of friends. You can’t possibly know every single one of


    them. Seriously though, I really think Sienna is the culprit. She absolutely hates you because of your


    rtionship with Uncle Matt. After all, not many people know about you two.”


    “You think she went through all this trouble to hurt me just because of your uncle? What if her attacks


    towards me have nothing to do with him?” rissa doubted her.


    “Do you have any other enemies?” Ellie challenged.


    rissa thought about it for a while then shook her head.


    “See, if the culprit is not your love rival, then it’s probably one of Uncle Matt’s business rivals. I don’t


    think this possibility is likely, but it cannot bepletely ruled out. Whatever it is, just listen to Uncle


    Matt and stay at home obediently. After all, you are pretty much a homebody who likeszing around


    the house doing nothing,” said Ellie.


    rissa let out a light sigh and said, “Does that mean I can never leave my house as long as the culprit


    is not caught? I can’t possibly live in fear forever. That would be too reactive.”


    “epting defeat is better than losing your life, right?” Ellie retorted.


    rissa had no choice but to go along with what she said.


    As days went by, rissa spent most of her time chatting with Jeremy and the others in their


    WhatsApp group chat. They tagged her in the group every day as they exchanged news and gossips


    about the gentry.


    Soon, the group suggested that they should drop by Zen Hignds to try her cooking.


    So every now and then, rissa received visitors. Sometimes, it was the entire group; at other times, it


    was just two or three of them from the group. As long as she had visitors to entertain, she had to keep


    herself busy.


    After one of the visits, rissa sent Yarick off and said to Matthew, “Why do you keep letting them


    come over? Even if I’m not tired of hosting them, they are probably sick ofing over! It’s not as if


    they have nothing else to do.”


    She realized that Matthew had asked this group of people to keep her entertained so she wouldn’t be


    bored at home.


    Feeling moved by his thoughtfulness, rissa hugged him and gave him a peck on the lips.


    “Uncle Matthew, thank you for being so thoughtful, but I’m actually feeling better about the situation


    now. We’ve been so careful and vignttely. I believe the culprit has probably gone into hiding now,”


    she said.


    Matthew patted her on the head and said with a smile, “If you want to go out, I’ll take some time off to


    bring you out.”


    “No, I wasn’t saying I want to go out. But on second thought, do you really have that much time to


    apany me if I wanted to go out?” rissa replied.


    “I can always make time for you,” he answered.


    rissa sighed quietly and felt emotionally down as Matthew still restricted her movements.


    Being restricted to the confines of one’s home was different from wanting to be indoors voluntarily.


    Matthew knew what was going on in her mind, but he only gave her a kiss on the forehead.


    He simply didn’t want her to be in a vulnerable position.
