“Hey, isn't this the bag that I wanted to buy recently but don’t have the money for? Fiona, did you get a raise recently? You can actually afford this bag? It's so hard to buy this bag too. Even Mr. Lowe’s sister said that she couldn’t find anyone to help her buy this bag. Fiona, you’re really capable!”Ava kept complimenting Fiona until goosebumps appeared on her skin.She knew that Fiona was more embarrassed and uncomfortable than her at this moment.On the other hand, the man did not know what was going on, so when he heard Ava complimenting Fiona, he also complimented her.“Miss Channing, you’re indeed really capable. You’re upright and independent. A good woman like you is really hard to find.”After Fiona was praised like that, she felt even more anxious.She thought she was able to bag this rich man, but she did not expect Ava to appear so suddenly. She was afraid that Ava would see through her.“Hehehe.” Fiona forced a smile, lifting the corners of her mouth. Then, she d
Ava directly pointed out that there was something wrong with the origin of this bag and affirmed that there was a problem with Fiona's integrity. As a result, Fiona naturally could not keep her cool and immediately blew up in a fit of rage.“Ava, you’re doing this on purpose!”The man opposite could not watch this anymore. He started accusing Ava as well. “Aren’t you going a bit too far? It's normal for colleagues to have disagreements but why are you holding grudges? Miss Channing and I are on a date right now. Do you have any manners? Besides, Miss Channing has the ability. Isn't this just a bag? Do you think she can’t afford it?”The man was siding with Fiona. Evidently, he was fond of Fiona's hypocritical character.Ava did not care that the man being deceived was making a lot of complaints about her. She calmly looked at Fiona, whose face had turned pale with anger.“Fiona, I don't want to argue with you. Facts speak louder than words.” Ava did not utter a single word of no
After saying the last sentence, Ava turned around and left decisively.“Ava!” Raegan hurriedly turned around and wanted to catch up with Ava, but she turned back just after she started walking. Her piercing eyes were domineeringly glaring at Fiona.“Actually, I could see through the motives and schemes of people like you at first sight. If it weren't because I wanted to learn more about Ava's life, people like you wouldn't even have gotten a chance to talk to me. However, you were actually ballsy enough to take this bag that costs six digits to keep it for yourself. I’ll take legal measures regarding this matter. Just wait for the police to come get you!”After Raegan finished speaking, she left the restaurant to chase after Ava.Fiona was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she heard the man's frustrated voice in her ears.“Fiona, it turns out that your colleague didn't accuse you wrongly just now. I didn't expect you to take other people's things and say that you bought the bag wit
When Fiona saw the two police officers walking through the door, her face turned pale with fright.Raegan really called the police!The employees in the office who did not know the situation were all watching curiously, but they could all tell that the police officers were here for Fiona.“Which one of you is Fiona Channing?”A policeman asked, scanning the people in front of him with sharp eyes. Soon, he spotted Fiona’s panicked face.“Are you Fiona Channing?”How would Fiona dare to lie to the police? She nodded silently.When they saw Fiona admitting it, the police officers went straight to her.“Fiona Channing, someone reported you of stealing another person’s property. Please return to the police station with us to help with the investigation.”“What? Fiona stole something? Could it be that bag?”“I don’t mind her being nosey but she’s a thief too?”“Judging from how vain she usually is, it really is possible for her to do such a thing.”“No wonder she talked to Ava li
“Ava, don't say anything first. I know what you're going to say. Calm down and listen to me first.”Raegan interrupted hastily, soothing Ava's emotions that were on the verge of breaking down.Ava, who was interrupted, did not show displeasure. Instead, she just looked at Raegan calmly.“Okay, speak.”Seeing that Ava was not angry, Raegan was silently relieved.She also recomposed herself before speaking.“Ava, I know that you don't like what I did back then and what I’ve done now. I don’t want to find excuses for myself because I know I’m the one at fault. But Ava, we’re mother and daughter. You’re my flesh and blood. I’m really reluctant to let go of you forever.”Raegan's voice began to sound choked when she was still speaking. Her eyes gradually became wet and red.“Ava, will you give me a chance to make things up for you?”Raegan's tone was careful, almost pleading.Ava's hands that were hidden in her sleeves clenched slowly. She could see the countless hopes and regrets
After being scolded by Maisie like this, Fiona gritted her teeth. She glared at Maisie and Ava fiercely.“Ava, you’re really underhanded. Whoever dares to be your colleague in the future will have to worry about being framed by you and being left with a criminal record. People like you will face retribution!”Fiona cursed angrily before she turned and walked away.Maisie sneered contemptuously in the direction Fiona left.“Who does she think she is? She has sticky fingers and stole your bag because she doesn’t have limits. But now she’s pushing the blame to you. I think she not only has a personality problem but also a brain problem.”Maisie complained before turning her head to comfort Ava again.“Ava, don't pay attention to such people. She was detained because she stole something. It has nothing to do with you.”“Maisie, thank you.” Ava smiled and thanked Maisie, but she was not affected by what Fiona said.The other employees in the office did not speak. Instead, they all s
Ava knew that these people were saying that to her. She raised her head with a smile and said.“This kind of thing doesn’t depend on fate. If you don't have the ability, you won't be able to sit in the corresponding position.”“Not necessarily,” Kendra retorted.“Why not?” Ava aimed her sharp eyes at Kendra.Kendra pursed her lips. She wanted to speak but stopped herself.At this time, Tom entered the office with a woman in business attire who looked very capable.“My fellow colleagues, please stop what you're doing,” Tom said and then introduced, “This is Ms. Parker, the new manager of your design department. She’ll be managing all affairs of the design department in the future. Just look for her if you have anything you want to ask.”After Tom finished making the introduction, everyone in the office except Ava was stunned—including Maisie.She had clearly heard that Ava was going to get this position, so why did someone else replace her all of a sudden?“Good morning, everyo
“Miss, Miss Long has arrived.”The man beside Ava announced respectfully to the woman standing not far in front before turning to speak to Ava.“Miss Long, this is our young mistress and the owner of this house, Miss Tawney.”Ava did not know that this little-known influencer was also the daughter of a wealthy family.However, what surprised Ava was not the influencer but the woman standing beside the influencer, Naya.Since she came here for work, Ava ignored everything and walked to the influencer with a polite smile.“Hello, Miss Tawney. I'm the designer responsible for the interior design of your house. My name is—”“You don’t need to introduce yourself to me. I know who you are.” Chloe Tawney interrupted Ava. Her face that was covered with heavy makeup was full of arrogance and disdain. “Aren't you Ava Long, the vixen who shamelessly seduced another's fiance at their engagement ceremony?”Upon hearing Chloe's answer, Naya sneered. She seemed very satisfied.“Ava, I didn't
