Chapter 500: Car Accident

Janet cocked her head to the side. She didn’t have any deep feelings or emotions for Lila as her
parents did. Beal’s words seemed to convey that he had forgiven Lila. Wiping her tears, Lila turned to
look at Janet.

“Janet, are you feeling any better?”

“What do you think?” Janet snapped coldly.

“I fell from a height of a thousand meters. God, I will never try skydiving again.” The incident had left
an indelible scar on Janet’s heart. She had become afraid of heights now and wouldn’t try any
adventure sports that involved flying in the air ever again. This one experience had impacted her for a
lifetime.

Janet looked at Lila’s puffy, bloodshot eyes. There was not even a trace of regret in them. She knew
Lila had no regrets, nor did she repent for her mistakes. Lila’s dramatic apology seemed insincere to
her. She didn’t mean a word she had said. However, Beal and Johanna felt bad to see their daughter
kneel before them and apologize, so they forgave her. Janet couldn’t say anything either. Johanna
subconsciously held Janet’s hand, her eyes gleaming with pain and guilt. If she hadn’t been careless,
Janet would have been their only precious daughter. She wouldn’t have encountered such problems.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Johanna clamped her mouth guiltily. She couldn’t ask Janet to forgive Lila.
As a mother, she believed all this was her fault. Janet pursed her lips and looked at her mother. Tears
welled up in her eyes when she saw Johanna cry. She didn’t want to blame Lila again in front of her
parents.

“I was just complaining. Dad, Mom, don’t worry. Lila and I are okay now.” Janet forced a smile. She
shot a vicious look at Lila, alerting her not to mess with her again.

*******



Considering Janet didn’t break any bones, she soon got discharged from the hospital. All Lila admitted
was that she didn’t tell anyone when she knew the parachute wouldn’t work.

There was just no evidence to prove that she had tampered with the parachute. Ultimately, the
skydiving club became responsible for the incident. The manager of the parachute club felt wronged.
But considering the victim was the daughter of the White family and Brandon Larson’s wife, he had no
choice but to compensate Janet for the unfortunate incident. After all, he had no evidence to defend
himself either.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Johanna clamped her mouth guiltily. She couldn’t ask lanet to forgive Lila.

looked at the credit message on her phone and smiled bitterly.

“You’ve always wanted to make a lot of money, haven’t you? Look at you now. Your dream has come
true.”

In the past, Janet had wanted to earn sufficient money to support Hannah.

“I have a wealthy husband and my parents don’t lack money either. What am I going to do with all this
money?” Janet winked playfully. Ethan held her in his arms and kissed her.

“I understand what you feel but I don’t think the accident was caused by the club’s negligence or poor
safety measures.” He believed someone was plotting against Janet.

“Then who do you think did this? Lila?” Janet looked at him with wide eyes.

“No.”

Ethan shook his head. He had shifted his suspicion to Lila’s coach. Only a few people were in the
helicopter then. Janet’s coach wouldn’t have done it because he would also have to jump with her.

Tampering with the parachute would kill him as well. Therefore, Lila’s coach was the only suspect left.
However, just as he started the investigation, he heard the news of a horrific car accident. A drunk man
had driven his car on the highway and collided with three other cars. One of the drivers was
incapacitated, and the other two were severely injured.

The incapacitated one was Lila’s coach. She was now in a vegetative state.
