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
“What? I need to show you examples?” Chloe showed a surprised expression. “Is a designer’s job so easy that you just look at other people’s work and copy it? Is it so easy for you to make money?”Ava knew that Chloe was misinterpreting her words on purpose, but she still calmly explained, “Miss Tawney, I asked you to show me an example so that I can get to know your style and understand your preferences.”“I see.” Chloe looked like she just understood, but a wicked smirk soon appeared on the corners of her lips. “You can talk to my good friend Naya, then. I bought this house as a gift for her, so she can decorate it as she likes. You just need to listen to her.”After hearing what Chloe said, Ava was not stupid and knew Naya was obviously trying to set her up. These two were just beating about the bush.Naya was arrogantly looking at Ava from the corners of her eyes. She was waiting to see how Ava would be set up by her later. She knew that Ava's mother was the richest person in
After Ava said that, she reached out decisively and quickly, snatching the other cup of coffee in Chloe's hand. She splashed it on Naya's body without hesitation.Naya screamed immediately.“Ah!”She took two steps back in a fluster. She had a panicked look on her face but there seemed to be a smirk on her lips.“Ava! Are you crazy? How dare you splash coffee on Naya like that?”Chloe immediately rushed over to vent her anger on Naya's behalf. There was a look of justice on her face like she was coming to the aid of someone suffering an injustice.“Why are you so cruel? Do you think you’re all that because your mother is the richest woman in Y Country? Do you think you can bully people like this? Before this, you stole Naya's fiance in front of everyone, and today, you’re causing trouble for Naya. Naya is very gentle but that's not an excuse for you to bully her like that!”Chloe was speaking righteously, and at this moment, Naya's face was full of innocence and hurt.“Forget i
