Chapter 2190
“I-It’s nothing, Mrs. Graham! Let’s just go!” Naya stepped forward and took Mrs. Graham’s hand, pretending to pull her away.
This time. Mrs. Graham felt that Naya was acting even more peculiar, so that piqued her interest more. She wanted to see what was going on. She moved Naya away and immediately, she saw Daniel and Ava standing in the corridor. They were talking and laughing with each other sweetly.
Immediately, Mrs. Graham’s anger rose.
“This is outrageous!” Mrs. Graham said angrily, “You and Daniel are about to get engaged! How dare she come over and confuse him?! Don’t worry, Naya. I’m about to go right up to her and tell her to get the hell out! Wait here.”
After Mrs. Graham finished speaking, she quickly walked toward Ava in a rage.
“Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Graham! Don’t go.” Naya pretended to stop her with a smirk.
When Daniel and Ava heard someone was coming, both of them looked in the direction of the sound. The moment Ava turned around, all she saw was a pale palm swinging toward her cheek before she could see who the person was.
Slap!
However, Daniel reached out to hold his mother’s hand in time.
“Mom! What are you doing?!” Daniel questioned her sternly.
Mrs. Graham shook off Daniel’s hand angrily. “How dare you ask me what I’m doing?! I should be the one asking you what you’re doing, Daniel! Naya is your fiancee, the person who you’ll spend the rest of your life with! How can you treat Naya like that?! Kissing and hugging this woman here?! Do you have no shame or virtue?!”
Ava could not help feeling amused when she heard how righteous Mrs. Graham sounded.
‘You’re one to speak of shame or virtue!
‘Where did you get the courage to criticize Daniel like that?!
‘The person who has no shame or virtue is you!
“Daniel, come back with me right now. Naya’s father has returned, so you’re to go over immediately and hold the engagement ceremony with Naya,” Mrs. Graham commanded and glared at Ava again. “If you still have some sense in you, you’ll get the hell out right now. Otherwise, I’ll have security to come over and throw you out!”
Daniel was unhappy with his mother’s attitude.
“Watch yourself, Mom. Don’t you dare talk to Ava like that.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Daniel, why are you still defending her?! Are you hoping to see your grandfather get so angry during your engagement ceremony that he ends up in the emergency room?!” Mrs. Graham threatened Daniel with Old Master Graham in a timely manner.
Daniel could not continue what he wanted to say.
He looked at Ava with apologetic eyes that were full of heartache. “Ava…”
“Go. I understand,” Ava said with a smile, but her expression soon turned indifferent.
“Hmph.” Mrs. Graham rolled her eyes toward Ava with disdain, pulled Daniel, and left.
Naya, who was still standing at the same spot, saw Daniel being pulled back by Mrs. Graham. She pretended to look innocent.
Daniel kept looking back at Ava, but in the end, he was helplessly pulled back to the engagement ceremony. He became the star of the show again.
Ava stood at the same spot for a while before finally making a decision.
She heard the emcee’s voice coming from the banquet hall. They were about to officiate Naya and Daniel’s engagement ceremony.
Without waiting any longer, Ava stepped toward the banquet hall.
Maisie, who seemed to have come out of nowhere, started to follow behind Ava.
She could see the determined look on Ava’s face, so she cheered her on, saying, “Don’t worry, Ava! I won’t let you fight alone! I’ve prepared a secret weapon for you that’ll help you slap the smug looks off these people!”
