I’ll go through legal proceedings to deal with all of you.”
After Ava finished speaking, she held Daniel’s hand with a faint but meaningful smile. Then, she pushed through the crowd and strode into the door.
Naya, who was drinking coffee leisurely at home, saw this scene from the live broadcast and smashed the coffee cup in her hand to the floor ina fit of anger.
The maid next to her was hit by the shards of the broken cup and groaned in pain.
“What are you screaming for? Hurry up and clean this up!” Naya roared angrily.
The maid shuddered with fright and hurriedly squatted on the floor to clean up the mess.
“Oh, Naya, why are you so angry?” Naya’s mother came over to comfort her, saying, “Aren’t the netizens scolding Ava? She’s getting her retribution after bullying you. After some time, I think Daniel will break up with her as well. That diabolical woman is so nasty!”
Naya pursed her lips together unhappily. She did not want to tell her mother the truth.
At this time, Chloe came over. Naya grabbed Chloe and brought her to her room.
Chloe took out the fake evidence she got from her bag, took a photo, and posted it on the internet. Then, she took a few more photos of the top part of Naya’s chest that was covered in special effects makeup. They would pretend that the burn marks were serious.
As a result, the online discourse intensified.
Naya felt slightly better, but she was still dissatisfied and worried.
“Chloe, we’re not going to screw this up, are we?” “How could we mess this up? Can’t you see that the netizens are scolding her? With the edited video and the proof from the hospital, I can guarantee that not only will Ava be finished but the company where Ava works will also be seriously affected. Also, Daniel…”
“Will Dan be affected too?” Naya was still worried about Daniel.
“Of course, he’ll be. But think about it, Naya. If Daniel and his family are also implicated by Ava, they’ll certainly hate her. When that happens, won’t you have a chance with Daniel?”
After hearing these words, the corners of Naya’s mouth gradually raised into a smile and she felt relieved.
On the other hand, after Ava reached the company, she explained what had happened to the manager of her department. Tom later showed up but he was very friendly and did not ask Ava to bear any responsibility. Instead, he asked Ava to go back and rest. Moreover, he even cracked a joke and asked Daniel to go back and accompany Ava.
After Ava thanked Tom, she informed Maisie before she left. While she was leaving, she spotted Kendra huddling with a few of their other colleagues. She was staring at Ava as she muttered something.
Ava could guess what Kendra was saying. She looked at Kendra calmly and walked out of the door with Daniel.
While they were waiting for the elevator, Ava received a call from Niamh.
Ava did not hesitate and picked up the call. “ Niamh, are there any updates?”
“Ava, I found something discovery.”
When Ava heard what Niamh said, a glint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
“Niamh, where are you now?”
“I’m at the house Chloe invited you over that day,” Niamh replied.
Ava replied that she would go over immediately before hanging up the phone. Before she hung up, Ava had vaguely heard the voice of a woman beside Niamh who seemed to be talking to her. Daniel knew that Ava was going to look for Niamh. He was relieved.
Ava asked him to go back to work first and Daniel obeyed.
Not long after Daniel left, Ava suddenly received a call from Chloe.
Chloe was talking in an airy and arrogant tone, “ Ava, what’s wrong? Aren’t you coming to work today? Are you not coming to work because of some personal matters? Your work attitude is so horrible. If you don’t come today, I’ll complain to your supervisor.”
“I knew that you, a popular influencer, would say that. Complain if you want to,” Ava replied nonchalantly and was about to hang up. However, Chloe’s provocative voice came from the other end. “Tsk tsk, people are so different when they have a wealthy mother. They’re so arrogant when they speak.”
Chloe then threatened her again, saying, “But I heard that you’re very stubborn. You even told the media that your mother’s money has nothing to do with you. So, if you don’t come today, how are you going to get ten million dollars to pay for the liquidated damages?”
Chloe warned Ava using the agreement again.
Ava did not want to pay any attention to the wicked Chloe, but when she remembered that Niamh was also in that residential area, she figured she would just go over since she had to face this horrible person sooner or later anyway. Hence, Ava did not give any response to Chloe and simply hung up the phone.
Chloe called her again, but Ava pretended not to see it and silenced her phone.
After more than ten minutes, Ava drove to the vicinity of this high-end community. When she got out of the car, she saw Niamh’s car parked o nthe side of the road.
Niamh spotted Ava from the car and immediately got out to meet Ava.
“Niamh, you said on the phone that you found something surprising. What is it?” Ava asked impatiently.
Niamh smiled slightly, but her face quickly turned serious again. “Ava, I just saw Naya and Chloe enter the residential area together. Not long after they entered, I saw plenty of medial personnel and even a mob of people. I think Naya and Chloe were the ones who deliberately called these people over. They probably want to cause a bigger ruckus.”
Ava glanced at the residential area. “No wonder they called me to come over. It seems that they want to put on another act.”
“They called you before this?”
“Yeah.” Ava nodded. “Niamh, what do you think I should do now? Should I go over?”
Niamh looked at Ava, feeling impressed. “Ava, you’re still so courageous. Aren’t you scared that once you go there, those people will circle you and curse you to death?”
Ava lifted her eyes and smiled smugly.
“Don’t they want to continue to slander me and make this into an even bigger deal? Coincidentally, we want to do the same thing too. Now that she’s invited so many media personnel, isn’t this the best chance to stir sh*t up? When we finally reveal the truth, the slaps they’ll receive on their faces will be even more vicious.”
Ava was confident, making Niamh admire her even more.
There were probably not many people who could be so optimistic and calm in the face of such rumors and criticism, yet Ava was one of them. “Let’s go, then. I’ll accompany you.” Niamh turned around and took a tablet from the backseat. Then, she took Ava’s hand and walked straight to the door.
“Niamh, are you really not afraid of being implicated by me and being chased and scolded by those so-called righteous bystanders?” Ava also looked at Niamh with admiration.
Niamh looked very relaxed. “Let them continue to scold if they dare. Kendrick will personally send them each a lawyer’s letter.”
“Heh, how nice is it to have a husband who’ll back you up,” Ava said jokingly.
“It’s the same for you too. You have a fiance who’s always considerate of you.” Niamh also joked. Then, she said seriously, “Actually, there’s another person who also cares about you very much.”
“Niamh, the person you’re talking about is my birth mother, right?” Ava asked with a smile. In fact, she knew this in her heart, but she still could not accept it.
Niamh did not say anything. Instead, she just nodded and smiled. They already tacitly knew the answer.
Naya and Chloe were waiting for Ava in the empty house, and they knew very well that there was a lot of media personnel waiting outside.
Behind the door, Naya asked Chloe ina low voice as she was a little unsure, “Will Ava really dare to come?”
“Isn’t she very hot-tempered? If so, she’ll definitely come.” Chloe looked like she had seen through Ava’s personality.
Ava had always been really straightforward. She would not hold suppress her grievances without venting out.
Just when Naya wondered if Ava was really coming, she heard a commotion outside.
Naya and Chloe quickly walked to the door, pricked up their ears, and listened to the sounds outside.
“I didn’t expect her to come.” Naya’s face showed undisguised joy, but she quickly tried her best to suppress her happy emotions and adjusted her clothes. After she put on a pitiful expression, she opened the door and walked out.
After Naya opened the door and went out, those people at the door all looked over at her. However, what Naya did not expect was that not only Ava was here but Niamh too.
Naya knew Niamh’s status in Glendale, so she did not dare to target Niamh. She only dared to confront Ava.
“Ava? Why do you still come here? Why did you bring so many media personnel along?” Naya looked innocent and surprised, but in reality, she was the one who deliberately leaked the information to the media.
Ava did not want to argue with Naya at all, so she replied casually, “Yeah, I asked them to come. Isn’t this what you want to see?”
?…’ Ava’s answer was beyond Naya’s expectations. She even froze for a few seconds before reacting. “Ava, what do you mean? I’m not fighting with you anymore. Why are you still bothering me?”
“Because I’m evil.” Ava laughed and spoke ill of herself. Then, she faced the media personnel’s cameras and those surprised bystanders magnanimously. After that, she walked toward Naya carefreely.
Naya was also shocked by Ava’s move. She wanted to work with Chloe to humiliate Ava so that she would never have a chance to make a comeback.
However, not only did Ava come here on her own but her actions also caused Naya to be at a loss. When Chloe saw what was happening at the door, she quickly came over to support Naya. Then, she began targeting Ava. ;
“Ava, you’re so shameless. How dare you call so many media personnel over so that you can bully Naya in front of them again? I think you want tobecome popular so badly that you’ve gone insane. Since you want to become popular, then we’ll help you.” °
Chloe pretended to be filled with righteous indignation as she spoke. Then, she pointed at Ava angrily and faced the cameras.
“As you can see, this is Ava Long. She came to trouble my friend Naya again today. How can there be such a vicious woman in this world? She bullies others time and again. She’s still as proud as ever. Does having a rich mother mean she can do whatever she wants?”
Chloe turned back and pulled Naya to her side. “Naya, tell everyone how this vixen robbed you of your fiance and splashed you with hot coffee. You should expose her and let her be popular!”
After Chloe said that, Naya shook her head ina pretentious manner. “Forget it, Chloe. Let’s just forget about it. I don’t want to embarrass everyone, let alone Dan. I just hope that Miss Long can truly love Dan because I don’t want to fight anymore. Chloe, let’s go in.”
Naya was saying all those pitiful words and looking so vulnerable that she was almost in tears. It was really distressing to watch, and it also made the netizens on the internet even more disgusted with Ava. The abuse hurled at Ava became more and more vicious.
However, Ava and Niamh were not bothered by that. The two of them were watching Chloe and Naya perform in a very calm manner.
Seeing that Ava was not speaking and only looking at her and Naya with a shallow smile, Chloe felt dissatisfied and a little anxious. She really wanted to provoke Ava like she did that day so that Ava would lash out. That way, they could further confirm that she was a shrewish and barbarous woman.
Unfortunately, Ava was very calm at the moment. “Chloe, let’s go back, I really don’t want to see those things be exposed on the internet.” Naya looked distressed. “Let’s go.”
