Chapter 1167 Another Conflict

"Little Bunny, I'm not trying to put you in a difficult position by asking you to clear Addison's name in

front of the public. It could affect your reputation. What I'm asking is for you to help save him through

Theodore and give him his innocence back," pleaded Yuna sincerely. "I've heard about your

relationship with Theodore from Addison himself, and I can't think of anyone else who can help us

now."

"Since you know about my relationship with Theodore, then you should also know that it's not a

legitimate one. There's no guarantee that he'll be able to help me out even if I ask him. Plus, he has a

lot of animosity towards me and Addison's relationship." Little Bunny replied hesitantly.

"I understand that it might be difficult for him to agree, but please try anyway," Yuna said helplessly. "I

wouldn't have come directly to bother you if there were any other options available. Even though things

might not work out as we hope, at least we tried our best for Addison."

Little Bunny wanted nothing more than to help Addison but was hesitant when she thought about

involving Theodore.

"Just give it a shot, okay, Little Bunny? Even if it doesn't work out, I won't blame you for anything." Yuna

continued persuading her.

"Okay fine... but don't get your hopes up too high."

"Thank you so much! If there's anything else that comes up in the future where I can assist later on

down the line, just let me know!" Yuna exclaimed gratefully before hanging up the phone.

After ending the call herself as well, Little Bunny felt anxious inside because she didn't believe that

Theodore would lend her any assistance at all. She could already imagine how angry he would become

upon hearing her request. She feared that instead of helping Addison clear his name, things could

potentially become worse than they already were.

She couldn't take such risks, but she had promised Yuna. However, she had another option in mind-

Theodore's father, Laird Wold.

During their divorce proceedings years ago, Laird had told her explicitly, "If ever anything is troubling or

bothering you, feel free to reach out."

Despite all this time passing since then and despite how poorly things had gone for her within the

entertainment industry over these past few years, never once did she consider reaching out or calling

upon Laird's offer. After all, why should someone noble like him owe her any favours?

But now, other than Laird, no one would help her. Laird's help was an ace-in-the-hole type backup plan

for herself since she thought when Theodore pushed her to the limit and she couldn't take it anymore,

she would go to ask Laird for help. She didn't expect that it was for Addison. She knew deep down that

asking Laird for help was a one-time opportunity. She didn't want to trouble him too much.

Little Bunny took a deep breath and picked up the phone to call him. Laird answered quickly, his tone

gentle as he said, "Hello, Little Bunny."

"Hello, Mr Wold."

Laird sighed since she wasn't his daughter-in-law anymore.

"It's late. Do you need something from me or do you want to talk with Nicholas?" His attitude towards

her was completely different from Theodore's.

"I have something I need your help with." Little Bunny said hesitantly.

"Tell me. I'm listening." He replied kindly.

Little Bunny finally gathered the courage to tell him about Addison's situation and their relationship with

Theodore. She didn't want to hide anything from Laird.

After hearing everything, Laird couldn't help but sigh again, "Theodore not only doesn't respect you but

also prevents you from pursuing your happiness."

Little Bunny didn't know how to respond properly.

"Alright then, I'll find out more about Addison and give you my answer later." Laird agreed decisively.

"Thank you, Mr Wold." Little Bunny breathed a sigh of relief as they hung up the phone.

Laird had always been easygoing. Little Bunny just didn't want to bother him unnecessarily.

In her room, Little Bunny watched news reports on Addison's scandal, which seemed like it was getting

worse by the minute in showbiz circles. So many people were criticizing Addison online that it made her

angry.

Suddenly there came a knock on the door outside of her room.

When Little Bunny opened it up, there stood Theodore who asked, "Did you ask my father for help

investigating Addison?"

A little panicked, she forgot to let Laird not tell Theodore yet.

"My dad has connections, but it's me who's in charge now and I have more people. He didn't tell me, Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

someone came to report to me."

Little Bunny had also considered that Theodore might agree.

"You believe my dad over me?" Theodore asked her sarcastically.

"I just don't want to cause trouble for you." She told a lie.

"So you'd rather cause trouble for my dad?"

Little Bunny fell silent at his cold remark.

"When are you going, to be honest with me?!" Theodore asked coldly.

"This is the information on Addison that you wanted. Look at it yourself." Theodore threw the file he had

just received from someone at her and left without another word. He was angry but didn't express it

fully.

At this moment, there was no way for Little Bunny to apologize to him. She was more concerned about

Addison's situation instead. She quickly opened the file and read its contents.

It was clear from multiple witnesses' testimonies that Addison had been caught using drugs by the

police and was currently under administrative detention. The testimony unanimously stated that

Addison voluntarily used drugs without being forced or framed while drunk; he did so while conscious

of his actions. If this were true, then Addison would be guilty of drug use.

As she read through the document, she became visibly upset. She couldn't believe this result.

Holding onto the file tightly in her hand, she walked straight into the living room where Theodore sat

smoking a cigarette and said firmly, "It can't be true! These witnesses must have colluded together

against him. Addison is being set up!"

"Do you believe him?" Theodore asked as he extinguished his cigarette slowly.

"Absolutely."

Theodore extinguished the cigarette and continued calmly, "Do you think Northfield police are all

pushovers? Their investigation skills are far superior than most people think, they have extensive

experience and expertise in anti-investigation techniques too. Do you think they wouldn't know if these

witness statements were genuine or not?"
