After Ava entered her house, she quickly took a shower and got under the covers.She habitually sent a message to Daniel, and while waiting, she saw that Tom had sent her a message.Tom was worried that Ava would be afraid after Esther’s sudden appearance just now, so he checked in on her.Ava felt warm and texted Tom back.However, when she was on the chat interface, Ava saw the photo that Tom sent to her not long ago.That could be regarded as a family photo.Ava quietly stared at Raegan and Neil in the photo. Their eyes were filled with so much unconcealable joy. It was the joy of losing something and then regaining it. This might be the family photo they had been looking forward to for a long time.‘If you were so reluctant to part with me, why did you abandon me so ruthlessly back then?’Ava asked herself incomprehensibly, but she could not find the answer.She looked at the photos sadly and finally saw the two photos with Tom in them.“Mr. Lowe is in these photos, but i
After hearing this, Ava immediately knew why other people were looking at her like that.It turned out that someone had spread rumors about her relationship with Tom and posted them on the internet so that people would criticize them. Moreover, Ava did not need to think to know who did this.“Shh, stop talking. She’s right here.” It was unknown who said that, and the employee who was exclaiming just now stopped talking immediately.Ava felt uneasy for a while, but she did not bother to explain too much.How many people would be willing to believe her in this situation?Ava's phone rang while she was thinking about this.She glanced at it and found that it was Maisie. Just then, the elevator reached her floor. She did not answer and just got out of the elevator straightaway.She felt that as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, the people in the elevator would begin to discuss her impatiently.Ava took a deep breath and calmed herself. Then, Maisie called her again.Ava,
Tom nodded lightly. “Have you ever thought that Naya is like this because of her mother?”“I have.” Ava pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she suddenly felt apologetic again. “I'm sorry, Mr. Lowe. The person Naya's mother wants to target is me. I didn't expect to get you involved too.”“Don't say that. We have clear a conscience, and we can't predict what the next step will be for those with bad intentions. Just be yourself and protect yourself. That'll be enough.”Tom's answer gave Ava a particularly calm feeling.She indeed had that mindset. She thought that Tom would think that way because he had been in the business world for so long, so he must be used to these boring trifles.“Mr. Lowe, what happened in the office? It sounded like a lot of people were making noise,” Ava asked curiously.Tom met Ava's confused gaze with gentle eyes. “That woman probably hired someone to come cause trouble for you. I've already asked someone to deal with it.”Tom said, his expression graduall
When she heard Madeline asking her this, Ava felt as if her heartstrings had been tugged by something abruptly.“Maddie, why are you asking that?” Ava was so nervous that she even stuttered a little when she spoke. As she asked, she took out her phone. “I talked with Danny last night. Maddie, look.”She handed the phone to Madeline nervously.“He was fine when he was talking to me last night. How could something have happened today?” Madeline hurriedly calmed Ava's emotions. “Ava, don't be nervous. Let me take a look first.”Madeline took the phone and saw the messages Daniel sent Ava last night.“Ava, you didn't talk on the phone with him, did you?”“No.” Ava shook her head, looking increasingly nervous and solemn. “Maddie, what happened? Did something happen to Danny?”Madeline looked up at Ava's anxious eyes. “Ava, calm down and listen to me. Maybe nothing has happened to Dan, but he's missing.”“What? Missing?” Ava's eyes widened in shock. “Missing? How did he go missing
“Is this true?” Ava looked at the extortion message in disbelief, wondering why the kidnappers asked Madeline for ransom.“I'm not sure if this is true, but I asked Jeremy to track this number. This is indeed a little fishy.”Madeline's explanation made Ava feel uneasy all of a sudden.“No, I have to go to Danny’s house. I have to check whether Danny is really kidnapped.” Ava turned around in a hurry.“Ava, I'm going with you.” Madeline followed behind Ava.Jeremy chased after them without saying a word. In this current situation, he was really worried about letting Madeline out of his sight.It was weird that this kidnapper came to Madeline to ask for money.It did not take long for the three of them to arrive at Daniel's house.Ava got out of the car and rushed toward the gate. Coincidentally, Daniel's mother was hurriedly walking out at the moment.Upon seeing Ava, Daniel's mother's expression visibly changed.“Ava, did you ask Dan out? He said yesterday afternoon that he
When Ava heard Jeremy’s suggestion, she was confused.“Why can’t I go to the Mendez family’s manor to look for that maniac? The longer it is, the more danger Danny might be in.”“But if you go to look for her and she did kidnap Daniel, then you’ll be inadvertently alerting the enemy. This might result in Daniel being in more danger,” Jeremy explained why he was stopping Ava.“Did Naya’s mother really ask someone to do this?” Madeline was still doubtful.“Naya likes Dan so much, so how could she hurt the man her precious daughter loves?”“She wants to destroy the thing that she can’t have. Someone as selfish as Naya would definitely do something like this.” Ava clenched both of her fists tightly.‘Danny, you need to be safe.’Ava prayed silently in her heart.Even though Jeremy was right, when Ava thought about how Daniel might be in danger right now, her heart could not stop racing.She followed Madeline and Jeremy back to Whitman Corporation, but she still could not calm hers
Her heart began to beat very nervously from this moment on. She was not sure if Esther had gotten out of the car here just now, or if someone would hear the sound and come out to check.Amidst her perturbed feelings and doubts, Ava vaguely heard the sound of hurried and disorientated footsteps coming from afar.After a while, Ava sensed a tall man standing across from the wall.“Damn, the wall of this broken house fell off,” the man complained unhappily, “I think before the fish takes the bait, I might be crushed to death in this stupid house for locking someone here.”The man complained again before walking back.Ava held her breath. She poked her head out and observed the direction the man was leaving.However, from what the man said to himself just now, Ava was able to determine that Daniel was indeed locked up here.Unexpectedly, Esther was even more extreme than Naya.Ava looked around before following behind the man.However, after taking a few steps up the stairs, she f
Facing Jeremy and Madeline's doubts, Daniel frowned. He seemed to look troubled.“When I was going to pick up Ava from work yesterday evening, I ran into an old woman who had trouble walking. She was separated from her family. I figured that since it was still early, I would send her home, but who knew her home was so far away?“When I wanted to tell Ava, I realized that I had lost my phone. There were no cars where the old woman lived, so I had to wait until this morning.”Daniel frowned again. “I didn't expect this to happen.”Gina was surprised after hearing what Daniel said.“Dan, did you… Weren't you with that Ava last night?”“No.”“...” Gina had an embarrassed look on her face. She felt slightly embarrassed when she recalled what she said about Ava not long ago.She even thought that Ava was deliberately making something unnecessarily complicated, but it turned out that Ava really had no idea where Daniel had gone.“This is bad.” Madeline's heartstrings tightened, and h
