NovelEnglishChapter 176
Ryan was a bit puzzled, but the moment he heard his mom was in a car accident, he immediately got
dressed to dash out.
His phone was on the bed, switched to speaker mode, and the driver’s voice came through.
“Mr. Elston, Ms. Raymond wants you to check up on your girlfriend She’s also hurt and should be at the
police station right now. Ms. Raymond said you don’t need to come see her.”
Rita was planning to cling onto Ryan in a cutesy way to keep him from leaving, but when she heard the
driver mention “girlfriend“, she froze.
She hadn’t met Ms. Raymond yet, so the girlfriend Ms. Raymond was talking about definitely wasn’t
her.
She looked at Ryan puzzled, but all he could think of was getting to the hospital. Finally, he figured out
who the “girlfriend” the driver was talking about was.
It was Penny.
He had once had Penny pretend to be his girlfriend..
But he didn’t have time to explain. He put on his coat, bent down, and kissed Rita lightly on the lips.
“Honey, wait for me here obediently. I’ll go out for a while.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRita felt a bit resentful. She knew Ms. Raymond didn’t like the women around Ryan, so she was always
afraid of someone ruining their relationship.
“Ryan, can I go with you?”
Ryan replied straightforwardly, “I’ll take you to meet my mom next time. Not this time. I will go first.”
Rita opened her mouth, but didn’t find it appropriate to say anything more.
Suddenly, the room felt empty. Rita was a small–time employee who only worked the front desk at the
Raymond Corporation. Being with Ryan was an accident, but she genuinely liked him.
She couldn’t wait to meet Maureen, and thought about Maja, who had once comforted her, and the
friendship between Maja and
Ryan.
So, Rita put on her clothes and went to Maja’s door, ringing the bell.
But no one opened the door. Rita refused to leave and waited there.
It wasn’t until two hours later that Maja came back.
After dealing with the affairs of police station, she came back home to tidy up before going to see Ms.
Raymond.
But the moment she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a woman standing at her door and instantly
felt a headache coming on. Rita’s eyes lit up when she saw her.
“Penny!”
She quickly approached, asking urgently.
“I heard Ryan’s mom had a car accident, and he’s already gone to the hospital. Can you help me find
the specific room number at the hospital? I want to go see her.”
Maja was planning to go home, clean up, and then head to the hospital, but now Rita was clinging to
her. If she went with Rita, and if Ms. Raymond said something, Rita might hold it against her.
Now that Rita was her neighbor, if things got out of hand, they could become unmanageable.
Maja immediately felt a headache. Even after moving out of Rosewood Manor to here, she still hadn’t
found peace.
If she refused Rita directly, it would make things awkward with Ryan since Rita was his girlfriend.
Maja rubbed her temples.
“I’ll let you know once I find the room number. Give me your cell number.”

The two of them exchanged contact information at the door.
Maja went back into her room, feeling utterly drained.
After all, Kim wasn’t the only one who had been scared.
She filled the bathtub, planning to take a bath and then immediately apologize to Ms. Raymond.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut she fell asleep directly in the tub.
It wasn’t until a knock came from outside the door that she woke up dazed.
She put on her clothes next to her, walked to the living room with her head feeling heavy.
The knocking at the door continued, and she tightened her robe, seeing Rita standing outside.
“Penny, it’s so late now. Do you have the room number?”
Maja could barely see Rita’s face anymore. She reluctantly called Ryan, got the room number, and
gave it to Rita.
Rita expressed her gratitude and immediately went downstairs, apparently heading to the hospital.
When Ryan received Maja’s call, he could tell something was off with her voice.
“My mom said you’re also hurt. You should rest at home. She’s not serious, just a minor concussion,
she’s about to be discharged.”
How could Maja not go see Ms. Raymond? After all, this was an accident she caused.
“Mr. Elston, I’ll be right there.”
“Penny, are you not feeling well? Don’t force it. I’m worried you’ll faint on the road.”
“I’m fine.”
Ryan couldn’t dissuade her, so he said, “lan is on his way here, your place is right in the middle of the
Raymond Corporation and the hospital. I’ll have him pick you up on the way. Don’t drive.”
Maja quickly tried to refuse, but ended up only coughing. Ryan had already hung up on the other end.
Maja hurriedly tried to call Ryan back, but the mechanical voice on the other end reminded her that he
was on another call. It seemed Ryan had already called lan.
