After Daniel told her that he was getting into a fake engagement with Naya this Sunday, Ava started becoming inattentive.She would be lying if she said she did not care. Even though it was fake, she still felt uneasy in her heart.Ava’s uneasiness was spotted by Maisie, who was right next to her.“Ava, do you have anything on your mind? Why do you look so preoccupied?” Maisie asked in concern.Ava came back to her senses and shook her head to deny it. “No, I’m just thinking about how to handle this next design.”“Doesn’t look like it.” Maisie smiled and blinked. “Ava, did you have a fight with your boyfriend?”Ava turned her head with a smile upon hearing that. “When did you also become so nosy?”“I’m not nosy. I’m just concerned about you.” Maisie emphasized with a serious look on her face.When she heard this, Ava fell into silence.Maisie was even more sure that something was wrong now. “Ava, you can tell me if there’s anything that’s making you unhappy. I see you as my go
After a while, she received Naya’s reply. Attached was a photo of Daniel.Maisie had seen Daniel downstairs at the company, so when she saw the photo Naya sent her, she immediately recognized that they were the same person.However, it seemed that Naya had taken this photo of Daniel when he was unaware of it.“Oh gosh, this is such a coincidence,” Maisie lamented.Tom went over to take a look, but he was still very calm.“He’s the young master of the Grahams. This isn’t easy.”“What did you say, Tom? You know Ava’s boyfriend?”“That’s Daniel Graham. He’s the young master of the Grahams, one of the four richest families in Glendale. He’s always been modest and noble. I heard about him when I was in school.”“Is he very exceptional and perfect?” Maisie asked.“From what I know, he has a good character and is friendly when he handles people and things. It appears that he’s faultless.” Tom spoke very highly of Daniel.However, Maisie sighed in disappointment. “He’s really so amaz
As she looked at the figure who followed Naya into the hotel, Ava's heart suddenly trembled inexplicably.She thought of how she had told Maisie about the fake engagement on Friday. Looking at the scene in front of her, Ava abruptly opened the door and got out of the car.However, when she arrived at the door of the banquet hall, the attendant at the door stopped her and asked her to show them her invitation card.Of course, Ava did not have an invitation card. She stepped aside and called Madeline immediately. After Madeline learned of this situation, she told Ava to wait in place.After a while, the manager of the hotel rushed over in a hurry. As soon as he saw Ava waiting at the entrance of the banquet hall, he immediately went over to greet her politely.“Are you Miss Long?”Ava nodded. “Yes, that’s me. Hello.”“Hello, Miss Long. Mrs. Whitman called me just now to explain the situation. Sorry for making you wait. Please come in with me.” Ava knew that she would have no probl
“Oh, it's a blessing for us that Dan is able to marry such a good girl like you, Naya.” Daniel's mother kept praising Naya, seemingly forgetting what an excellent and exceptional man her own son was.As she listened to the praises from her relatives and friends, Naya lowered her eyes shyly before raising them again.“Mrs. Graham, you speak too highly of me. I’m not as good as you said. It’s my greatest luck to marry Dan.”“Listen to how humble Naya is.” Daniel's mother praised again. “Having a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law like you is a blessing for the Grahams.”Naya blushed shyly when she heard this.The face of Naya's mother was also full of arrogance and smugness. “Naya, you’ll live a good life with Dan in the future. Now that you’re engaged, you’re no different from husband and wife. If you meet Ava again, you should tell her that you’re the daughter-in-law of the Grahams. Tell her to know her place and get as far away as possible.”“Mom, isn’t that a little crue
Ava knew that Maisie would be impulsive, so she stepped forward and grabbed her.“Maisie, don't go.”Maisie, who was stopped, turned around incomprehensibly. “Why not? You know that they’re all colluding to deceive your boyfriend. They even talked about you like that. How can you put up with this, Ava?”‘How can I put up with this?’Ava was slightly stunned. When she recalled the past, it seemed she used to be a straightforward person who would never suppress her grievances within her.She was not afraid even when she offended Jeremy.How did she become like this?Ava could not help but chuckle softly. She seemed to have gradually smoothed out her edges for Daniel.She unknowingly gave in step by step and compromised for the sake of this relationship.Even though she knew that the Grahams did not like her at all, she still greeted them with a smile every time.It was because she knew that love was not a matter between two people but a matter between two families, or even two
“All of them want to make this fake engagement into a real one. Your boyfriend is the only one who still has no idea about it.”Ava sighed and let out a chuckle upon hearing that. “They’re so sinister. I thought my concession would help improve an old man's health, but in reality, they were just teaming up to deceive me.”“Ava, don't put up with these scheming people. Go over and tell your boyfriend the truth. Don't be afraid. I’ll stand on your side and the side of justice no matter what!”After Maisie made the promise, she grabbed Ava and walked to the banquet hall.The atmosphere at the scene was very lively at the moment. Perhaps those scheming people wanted to make this matter official, so they also called in a lot of media personnel and reporters.After all, the Grahams were also a rich family in Glendale. The media would definitely want to write about them.At this time, many people were talking around Daniel. Naya walked over to Daniel while being escorted by the crowd.
Daniel was initially in a bad mood because he had to go along with Naya's fake engagement, but when he saw Ava and heard what she said, his mood instantly became way better."Really? You can't wait to marry me?" Daniel hugged Ava tightly, and the way he spoke made it obvious that he was overjoyed. He could not wait for that day to arrive.Ava smiled and stopped hugging him. Her eyes showed how happy she was as she looked into Daniel's tender eyes."Of course. Why else would I have come over? Did you think I was jealous?""Uh-huh. Of course, I’d think that my girlfriend was jealous and didn't trust me." Daniel joked with her."And why would that ever happen? I trust my boyfriend wholeheartedly, but to say that I'm not jealous at all would be a lie."Ava also laughed along, but her heart started to ache for Daniel.It seemed that Daniel was the only one who was kept in the dark about things.He really thought that it was just a fake engagement and that Naya was kind enough to hel
"I-It’s nothing, Mrs. Graham! Let's just go!" Naya stepped forward and took Mrs. Graham's hand, pretending to pull her away.This time, Mrs. Graham felt that Naya was acting even more peculiar, so that piqued her interest more. She wanted to see what was going on. She moved Naya away and immediately, she saw Daniel and Ava standing in the corridor. They were talking and laughing with each other sweetly.Immediately, Mrs. Graham’s anger rose."This is outrageous!" Mrs. Graham said angrily, "You and Daniel are about to get engaged! How dare she come over and confuse him?! Don’t worry, Naya. I’m about to go right up to her and tell her to get the hell out! Wait here."After Mrs. Graham finished speaking, she quickly walked toward Ava in a rage."Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Graham! Don't go." Naya pretended to stop her with a smirk.When Daniel and Ava heard someone was coming, both of them looked in the direction of the sound. The moment Ava turned around, all she saw was a pale palm swinging
