Naya's mother appeared too suddenly, so Ava did not have time to react. Daniel could not stop Naya's mother in time as well, so Ava was slapped across the face. The people who saw this were starting to crowd around them while discussing among themselves.“Mrs. Mendez, how could you hit Ava?” Daniel was subconsciously dissatisfied when he saw Ava's dazed look, so he questioned Naya's mother.Naya's mother pointed at Ava angrily, cursing without caring about her image at all. “Dan, you’re my son-in-law. Why are you defending this vixen at this time? This vixen almost killed your wife! Not only are you not accompanying your wife, but you even came out to talk to her. How do you have the heart to face Naya?”Naya's mother’s screams surprised the onlookers.“What? Is this woman a mistress?”“She does look like a mistress with that face of hers.”“This man is also a scumbag. He doesn't care about his wife and is getting himself entangled with his mistress in public. It's no wonder th
“You…”“You're a mother, yet you don't even know how to be a decent human being yourself. It's no wonder that the daughter you educated is also such a shrew.”“...” Naya's mother did not expect Ava to scold her. At this moment, she felt her cheek hurting even more. “Ava, w-what nonsense are you talking about? Stop slandering my daughter!”“Perhaps the onlookers here can’t be sure whether I’m slandering her or not, but you and your daughter Naya know best in your hearts. Danny dated me first, while the pestering vixen is your daughter. Just because you’re loud and managed to attract onlookers doesn’t mean you’re right. Again, justice will prevail. The truth might not be out now, but it’ll never be buried forever.”Ava directly turned around after speaking. Those onlookers glanced at Ava and consciously stepped out of her way to let Ava pass by. They seemed shocked by Ava's words and actions just now.Naya's mother clearly felt that she had the upper hand just a moment ago, but now,
Ava also heard footsteps approaching. When she was about to look back, a strong arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed her shoulders.Ava wanted to dodge, but the man held her even harder and pulled her to the side.Just as Ava was about to break free, something seemed to pass by her side from the corners of her eyes.Crash!The sound of something shattering could be heard from beside her.Ava froze for a moment.“Are you okay?” A familiar and concerned voice entered her ears at this time.Ava snapped back to her senses and raised her eyes. In her doubtful gaze, Tom's extremely handsome face was reflected in her pupils.“Mr. Lowe?” Ava was very surprised. “I-I’m fine.”Ava spoke incoherently as she had yet to recover from what had just happened.She turned her head to look in the direction where the sound of the shatter came from, only to find that a flowerpot had fallen to the ground less than a meter away from her.In other words, a flower pot had fallen to where she was s
“Ah!”Ava screamed reflexively, and in that instant, the lights in the office suddenly went out.Although Ava had a carefree personality and a clear conscience when it came to dealing with people, she was still a woman, after all. It was inevitable that she would feel a little bit of panic and fear when facing such a sudden situation.What terrified Ava even more was the gloomy voice of a woman that came out of nowhere. “Ava, God is always watching. If you dare to keep bullying people and do as you please, I’ll haunt you every day and night…”Although Ava was a little terrified, she knew that someone had set this up to scare her. She calmed herself down and picked up her phone. She turned on the flashlight to see what was going on.Coincidentally, Tom strode toward her from the door of his office. “What happened? Ava, where are you?”“Mr. Lowe, I'm here.” Ava shook her phone.Tom saw the light and quickly came to Ava's side. His brows were furrowed with worry.“What's the matte
Madeline and Ava stopped in their tracks at the same time. They looked at each other, then at the door with a wary look in their eyes.Ding dong!The doorbell rang again.Madeline walked to the door, and through the peephole, she saw a familiar face.“Tom?” Madeline turned back. “It's Tom.”“Mr. Lowe?” Ava was also quite surprised. ‘Didn't Tom just leave? Why is he back again?’Ava thought to herself before opening the door.Tom was about to speak, but when he saw Madeline there, he was a little surprised. “Mrs. Whitman, you’re here too? Since there’s someone to accompany Ava, then as her boss, I can feel relieved.”He said and handed Ava the bag he was holding. “I thought you wouldn’t have eaten yet, but it might be dangerous if you go out or order takeout. Hence, I bought you something to eat at a nearby restaurant.”Tom's thoughtfulness warmed Madeline and Ava.“Thank you, Mr. Lowe, but I'm planning to go back to Maddie’s house. There are a lot of people in her house, and
Although some frightening things had happened that day, Ava did not take them very seriously.She lay down on the bed after taking a shower. She saw the messages from Raegan and Neil. They both wanted to know about her situation, but they did not dare to bother her.Their cautiousness somewhat touched Ava's heart.Ava looked at the words of concern and exhortation on the screen. She began to space out. Suddenly, the familiar ringtone brought her back to reality.She looked at the caller ID in disbelief and answered the call without hesitation.“Danny?” Ava asked in uncertainty.Then came Daniel's warm reply, “It's me.”After hearing this reassuring answer, Ava felt that all her troubles were instantly swept away.“Danny, why are you calling me?”“I saw those things on the internet and feel very sorry.” Daniel's tone was full of guilt. “If it weren’t for me, perhaps conflicts wouldn’t have arisen. Are you okay?”Ava did not feel much when Daniel apologized, but when she heard
When Naya's mother said this, she could not conceal the joy on her face. Naya sat on the bed with no expression. She seemed to be thinking about something.At this time, some nosy netizens heard from somewhere that Ava had started a live broadcast. Hence, they immediately searched for the link to find the live broadcast room.As soon as they came in, those keyboard warriors started cursing and scolding Ava immediately.[Ava, you’re so shameless. How dare you start a live broadcast?!][Is this shameless person using this method to become popular in hopes to make money from this?][Damn, how gross!][Ava, you’re just a beast that was abandoned by your parents. Come out and apologize to Miss Mendez now!][You b*tch! Miss Naya was almost driven to death by you and she even wrote a suicide note. Aren’t you embarrassed to be alive? You should be the one committing suicide!]The abusive words of the netizens quickly filled the screen. Ava saw every comment.However, Ava just lay on t
[Damn it, Ava is too heartless. She’s even secretly filming Naya in her hospital ward. Who has Naya's contact information? Go and tell her!]Some enthusiastic netizens started looking for Naya's contact information.However, while these people were spamming the comments section, the scene that took place next stunned everyone.Naya reached out and pushed her mother's hand away extremely impatiently. The peeled apple rolled to the floor.“Can you please be quiet and stop talking? I'm tired enough now!”Naya's mother did not expect Naya to suddenly throw such a huge tantrum. Although she did not understand, she knew very well that Naya had always been arrogant and unruly.“My precious daughter, what's the matter? Ava is now the target of scorn. Everyone is scolding and cursing her. Those stupid netizens who make a fuss the moment they smell something are all siding with you now. Isn’t this good? What are you still angry about?”“How can I not be mad?” Naya's eyes widened angrily.
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
