Ava could guess what was going on. She quickly ended the call with Madeline and tried to comfort Maisie.“Maisie, please don’t get emotional.”“Wait, Ava, what did I just hear? You just said that Mr. Lowe and I are trending. What does this mean?” Maisie asked hurriedly.The two of them at one side could not wait to tell Maisie what was going on when they saw that Ava was still hesitating. “Maisie, don’t you know what happened? Someone exposed your relationship with Mr. Lowe online!”“What? My relationship with Mr. Lowe?”“Yeah! Don’t you go on the internet or watch videos? It’s all over the internet. It even showed proof that you have an extraordinary relationship with Mr. Lowe!”“Someone even said that you snitched to Mr. Lowe, so that’s why he sided with you and fired Laura.”“I snitched?” Maisie pointed at herself angrily. “Did I have to do such a thing? It was obvious Laura had ill intentions and she plagiarized Ava’s work. The company treated her well by only firing her.”
When Bill saw that it was his superior, he was so scared he started breaking out in a cold sweat.“M-Mr. Lowe, you’re here,” he greeted timidly.Tom walked over and lowered his head to look at Maisie, who looked very aggressive.“What happened? Why are you so mad?”Maisie was fuming as she glared at Bill who could not even form his words properly. “Ask him!”Tom looked at Bill sharply after he heard that. “Answer me.”When Bill heard this, he was even more terrified.The rest of the people in the office raised their widened eyes to look in their direction.Plus, they could tell that there was something unusual going on between Tom and Maisie judging from how gentle and patient he was with her.How could a normal employee speak to their boss like that?It would be a fantasy!When they saw this, Fiona and Kendra were even more excited. “Did you see that? What’s being said on the internet is real! Ava, do you believe us now?”“But Ava, which one of your friends is so powerful
“Maisie, where did you go?”“I went to find Laura but I couldn’t find her,” Maisie told Ava honestly and sat down. Then, she glared in the direction where Bill’s office was. “He must know.”Ava understood what Maisie was trying to say, and she comforted Maisie, saying, “Alright, don’t be mad. I believe you. Those things online are all fake. You and Mr. Lowe are innocent.”When Maisie heard Ava say that, she felt much better.However, even though Ava believed her, their other colleagues did not.During lunch, Ava wanted to treat Maisie to a meal but Maisie ran away after she said she wanted to use the restroom.Ava waited for a while but Maisie was still nowhere to be seen. Hence, when she was about to call Maisie, the nosey pair walked over.“Ava, are you still waiting for Maisie? I saw her going to Mr. Lowe’s office just now.” Fiona told Ava with a righteous expression, “And you still believe there’s nothing going on between her and Mr. Lowe. Ava, she’s lying to you!”“No.” Av
When Maisie said that, the air in the office seemed to freeze.What?What did she say?Tom had been backing her for the past 22 years?22 years?They remembered that Maise had just graduated, so she was about 22 to 23 years old. Did it mean that she knew Tom the moment she was born?What did this mean?Everyone was shocked.Laura held her cheek that was hurting from the slap, and she had a look of astonishment on her face.“W-What do you mean?” She was confused.Maisie’s grip on Laura’s collar tightened. “Do you still not understand, you idiot?”“...” Laura’s face turned dark after she was scolded and beaten.She was trying to get out of Maisie’s grip but Maisie was very strong.“Why? Do you feel uncomfortable? You should’ve known that you’d end up like this when you posted those things online to slander me!”“...”Ava watched this from one side, and she had no intention of stopping Maisie. However, she was also worried that something bad would happen to Laura if Maisie
Tom was very straightforward. He did not beat around the bush before going straight to the topic.“When I walked in, I heard you questioning Mai what proof she has that you’re the one who posted the fake news online. She doesn’t have proof, but I do.”“...”“I asked IT to look up the IP address of the person who first posted that news online. I can tell you with certainty that I know you’re the one who did it. Also, I called the police to let them handle this. You can talk to the police if you have any questions later.”“...”Laura’s face was frozen completely when she heard this.Bill was standing at one side, and he took a few steps back as he was losing his head out of fear. He was terrified of being implicated.After Laura was stunned for a few seconds, she felt that Tom might just be scaring her, so she scoffed.“You called the police? Whatever. I didn’t do it anyway. I’m innocent! Plus, if those things online are real, then it’s not fake news and there’s no defamation!”
A very domineering voice suddenly penetrated everyone’s ears powerfully. Then, a woman who seemed to be wearing all the luxury brands in the world on her body appeared in front of Laura with a strong aura after walking through the crowd.That woman lifted her stern eyes. There was a look of fearlessness and boldness in them that looked similar to Maisie’s.She looked at Laura whose face was turning red and white before lifting her hand to slap her across the face.“Ah!” Laura yelped in pain. Before she understood what was going on, she could feel the same searing pain on her face again.Laura clutched her face and lifted her head to glare at that woman. “H-How dare you slap me?!”“Yes, I’m slapping you because you deserve to be slapped. You shouldn’t have spread those rumors online, then! I’m being very merciful by just slapping you.”The woman replied calmly, but her eyes were piercing.Laura’s jaw dropped open. After being stuck in a trance for a few seconds, she remembered th
Even though she had a million guesses in her head before this, she would never have thought that Maisie and Tom were siblings.Laura was struck dumb. However, more than anything else, there was envy and jealousy in her eyes.She was so jealous!Maisie was Tom’s little sister.Bill, who was cowering in a corner, was also shocked to the core. He thought he had found out about Tom and Maisie’s improper relationship but he did not expect that they were family! They were siblings!Just now, the police also said that they wanted to look into Laura because one of the cases she was involved in was the embezzlement of public funds. Bill was also involved in this, so he could not run from this now.Laura was brought away by the police soon after, while Tom and his mother also followed the police back to the station to help with the investigation.When they left, Tom turned around to call out to Bill, whose face was turning pale.Bill’s body turned cold as he knew he was finished.Maisie
“Ava, I dare say that you’ll rise above others in this fight for the position of department head. You’ll definitely get that position.”Maisie’s firm tone went into the ears of Fiona and her group.Even though it sounded unpleasant and Fiona was pissed, she did not dare to go and talk back to Maisie.Everyone knew that Maisie was their boss Mr. Lowe’s sister. At the same time, they also knew that Maisie and Ava were close.Maisie was saying that Ava would be able to get the position of the head of the design department and it was basically a done deal.Fiona was feeling pissed but suddenly, she heard Ava speak with a self-deprecating laugh.“Actually, I like my current position. I’ll have to manage so many things as the head. Someone as lazy and carefree as me won’t be able to get that position.”Fiona chuckled in disdain when she heard what Ava said. She felt that Ava was just pretending.However, Maisie did not say anything. Instead, she just nodded thoughtfully.During the
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
