Chapter 1435

• Okpon’s face instantly darkened. He had specifically told Lydell that as long as they delayed Liza from participating in the competition, they didn’t need to resort to drastic measures. There was no need for anything too extreme. A car accident was unpredictable, and if something serious happened—if Liza died, for instance—it would not only ruin their plans but also provoke Gavin, which would lead to even more complications. There were countless other ways to keep Liza from participating in the competition, and a car accident was never supposed to be part of the plan.
• Now that the accident had already occurred, Okpon had no choice but to handle the situation. He needed to smooth things over for Lydell, at least for the time being. Once this moment passed, he could take steps to clear her name in the future.
• Frowning, Okpon stepped forward and quickly defended his daughter. “Miss Liza, you’re making baseless accusations. Lydell has been with us since she returned home yesterday. She couldn’t have arranged for someone to harm you. If she had been involved in the accident, she would have been the first one to be suspected. Lydell has no reason to do such a thing!”
