“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
As soon as Ava stepped out of the door, Naya and Chloe suddenly displayed sinister smiles on their faces.Ava drove away. The more she thought about the incident after she calmed down, the more she felt that there was something wrong with Naya's behavior just now.She knew that Naya had managed to provoke her a little just now, which was why she made such a counterattack.She had always been like that, but because of Daniel, she began to hold herself back. In the past, even when she was weak, she had never been afraid of facing Jeremy.She always said whatever was on her mind and never held back when she was angry.Furthermore, Naya and Chloe were clearly colluding against her this time. They said they liked her designs, but in reality, they were just trying to fool her and vent their anger.After returning, Ava did not tell Daniel and the others about it. Instead, she just went back to her work. However, after a while, the new manager called Ava into her office.The manager s
Maisie wanted to follow Ava to know what exactly was going on. At the same time, she wanted to comfort Ava as well. However, after seeing her serious expression, she decided not to follow her anymore so that Ava would not be disturbed. Ava was about to call Madeline, but she did not expect Madeline to call her first.After picking up the call, Madeline's worried voice came from the other end.“Ava, where are you now? I'll go look for you.”“Maddie, did you also see the video on the internet?” Ava could hear that Madeline was worried about her.“Jeremy told me about it. That’s how I got to know that this sort of thing is happening to you.” Madeline was a little anxious. “Where are you? I'll go look for you.”Ava knew this had to be resolved, and at the same time, she had also planned on asking Madeline for a favor. Hence, she did not refuse.Ten minutes later, Madeline arrived downstairs at Ava’s company.Ava applied for a leave of absence with the new manager and went to Madel
