โHey, isn't this the bag that I wanted to buy recently but donโt 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. Loweโs sister said that she couldnโt find anyone to help her buy this bag. Fiona, youโre really capable!โAva 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.โMiss Channing, youโre indeed really capable. Youโre upright and independent. A good woman like you is really hard to find.โAfter 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.โHehehe.โ 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.โAva, youโre doing this on purpose!โThe man opposite could not watch this anymore. He started accusing Ava as well. โArenโt 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 canโt afford it?โThe 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.โFiona, I don't want to argue with you. Facts speak louder than words.โ Ava did not utter a single word of no
After saying the last sentence, Ava turned around and left decisively.โAva!โ 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.โActually, 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. Iโll take legal measures regarding this matter. Just wait for the police to come get you!โAfter 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.โFiona, 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.โWhich one of you is Fiona Channing?โA policeman asked, scanning the people in front of him with sharp eyes. Soon, he spotted Fionaโs panicked face.โAre you Fiona Channing?โHow would Fiona dare to lie to the police? She nodded silently.When they saw Fiona admitting it, the police officers went straight to her.โFiona Channing, someone reported you of stealing another personโs property. Please return to the police station with us to help with the investigation.โโWhat? Fiona stole something? Could it be that bag?โโI donโt mind her being nosey but sheโs a thief too?โโJudging from how vain she usually is, it really is possible for her to do such a thing.โโNo wonder she talked to Ava li
โAva, don't say anything first. I know what you're going to say. Calm down and listen to me first.โRaegan 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.โOkay, speak.โSeeing that Ava was not angry, Raegan was silently relieved.She also recomposed herself before speaking.โAva, I know that you don't like what I did back then and what Iโve done now. I donโt want to find excuses for myself because I know Iโm the one at fault. But Ava, weโre mother and daughter. Youโre my flesh and blood. Iโm really reluctant to let go of you forever.โRaegan's voice began to sound choked when she was still speaking. Her eyes gradually became wet and red.โAva, will you give me a chance to make things up for you?โRaegan'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.โAva, youโre 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!โFiona cursed angrily before she turned and walked away.Maisie sneered contemptuously in the direction Fiona left.โWho does she think she is? She has sticky fingers and stole your bag because she doesnโt have limits. But now sheโs pushing the blame to you. I think she not only has a personality problem but also a brain problem.โMaisie complained before turning her head to comfort Ava again.โAva, don't pay attention to such people. She was detained because she stole something. It has nothing to do with you.โโMaisie, thank you.โ 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.โThis kind of thing doesnโt depend on fate. If you don't have the ability, you won't be able to sit in the corresponding position.โโNot necessarily,โ Kendra retorted.โWhy not?โ 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.โMy fellow colleagues, please stop what you're doing,โ Tom said and then introduced, โThis is Ms. Parker, the new manager of your design department. Sheโll be managing all affairs of the design department in the future. Just look for her if you have anything you want to ask.โAfter Tom finished making the introduction, everyone in the office except Ava was stunnedโincluding Maisie.She had clearly heard that Ava was going to get this position, so why did someone else replace her all of a sudden?โGood morning, everyo
โMiss, Miss Long has arrived.โThe man beside Ava announced respectfully to the woman standing not far in front before turning to speak to Ava.โMiss Long, this is our young mistress and the owner of this house, Miss Tawney.โAva 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.โHello, Miss Tawney. I'm the designer responsible for the interior design of your house. My name isโโโYou donโt need to introduce yourself to me. I know who you are.โ Chloe Tawney interrupted Ava. Her face that was covered with heavy makeup was full of arrogance and disdain. โAren't you Ava Long, the vixen who shamelessly seduced another's fiance at their engagement ceremony?โUpon hearing Chloe's answer, Naya sneered. She seemed very satisfied.โAva, I didn't
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.โStop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?โโWho said I'm going to make trouble? Iโm going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?โHer husband was startled. โYouโre agreeing to this?โGina 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 Danielโs 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. โAva, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.โโBut Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents wonโt be happy about it for the rest of their lives,โ Ava said with a helpless sigh. โI really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.โโBut AvaโฆโโMaddie, 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 theyโre safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?โThere 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.โAva, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?โโI've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.โHmph, 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,โ Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. โStop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isnโt a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didnโt 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?โGina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. โDidn'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?โโStop talking.โ Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.โHe just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?โHe even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?โOld 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?โI canโt let this happen.โAfter 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.โDan, have you decided to just give up?โAre we
โI'll be right back!โGina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.โDonโt follow me! Youโre not welcomed at our house.โDespite 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. โWhat? Danโs gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?โโLook 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.โWhatโs going on? Whereโs Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?โ 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, โI want to know as well.โโHow could you not know? You came before me.โโDan wasn't in the ward when I came,โ Ava said and turned around. โI'll go to the nurse's station and ask.โโWait.โGina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.โAva, 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.โLily.โ Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. โLily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope youโll be able to speak soon.โLillian 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.โMiss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.โJulie smiled and shook her head. โYou stopped owing me an
โI did,โ 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, โI wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didnโt 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.โFabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.โBut Miss Charles, rest assured, thereโll be no such trouble in the future.โJulie 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.โMiss Charles, Iโve found a more suitable school for Lily, and itโs 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.โJulie, how could you fall in love with a single father?โJulie frowned. โYes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.โโWhat?โโTsk tskโฆ Julie, do you really like this single father?โ The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. โSomeone 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.โโWhat? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?โ Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
