Chapter 8
Do you ver
tired of talking so much?”
Ava’s words almost infuriated Melissa to death.
Melissa had not expected Ava, who appeared quiet and reserved, to open her mouth and purposely say such provoking things
Melissa had a lot to say, but she suddenly lost interest after bearing Ava’s words.
Meanwhile, Ava turned her head and glanced at the backyard.
There was a storage room in the backyard. In her past life, she had spent her last year there, living a life worse than that of a dog.
Ava’s lips curled up slightly, emitting a cryptic, light laugh.
Seeing her stop and zone out, Melissa could not help but turn her head and urge her, “Hurry up!”
It was already lunchtime.
Melissa did not eat anything that morning because the very thought of picking up Ava made her love her appetite, and now her stomach was growling.
She was also concerned about Sophia, who had a fever a couple of days ago.
The servant was about to come and carry Ava’s suitcase, but Ava said calmly. “No need.”
A delicate voice came from above the spiral staircase. “Mom, you’re back!”
Love immediately filled Melissa’s eyes.
Ava halted her steps and looked up.
Sophia wore an exquisite yellow designer dress, looking outstanding with her big, watery eyes. Due to her illness, her cheeks appeared a bit pale, adding a touch of pitiful charm.
Melissa hurriedly approached and gently pulled Sophia’s hand
“Why are you so cold! You’re still sick. You shouldn’t have come downstairs. Quickly go back and rest.”
Concern and senderness overflowed in her words.
Ava remembered that she fell into the sea and almost lost half her Efe in her previous He, but Melissa did not even show
She watched this deeply affectionate scene between Melissa and Sophia with a cold gaze.
Sophia let out a slight cough, her checks flushed with color.
“Mom, I missed you. Besides, Ava is here today. How could I stay in bed?”
She walked toward Ava, taking a few steps while coughing
As she approached Ava, Sophia had a beautiful smile, her tone and voice soft and sweet. “Are you Ava! Mom, Ava looks so beautiful, just like you.”
But from Sophia’s smiling eyes, Ava saw a trace of resentiment.
It turned out that some people simply disliked her from the beginning, regardless of whether she did something right or wrong. Their disgust was deeply ingrained and irrational
Ava’s lips curled up slightly, and she casually glanced at Melissa before saying, “Is that so? Do I really look like her! But somehow, I feel like we’re not alike at all” She said this while carefully observing Melissa’s expression.
Melissa frowned and replied, “You’re my daughter. If you’re not like me, then who do you resemble?”
It seemed that Melissa, at that point, did not know that they were not biological mother and daughter. Ava started to wonder when Melissa found
However, that was not important.
In this life. Ava knew everything, and she could make a fool of everyone who had tortured her.
Ava chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying Melissa’s statement
Melissa rubbed her temples and instructed the servant, “Take her to her room.

Chapter 8
She held Sophia’s hand delicately as if handling something fragile
The two
two sat on the couch, and Melisa’s eyes were filled with evident tenderness.
“Are you feeling better today! And where’s your father?” she asked,
“Dad said he would be back for lunch, so he should be home soon. Mom, you’re well aware of my condition,” Sophia replied, lowering her eyes with a hint of melancholy and helplessness.
Ava’s footsteps paused lightly.
She knew they were using her to help Sophia.
Seeing that Melissa was not paying much attention to Ava, the servant naturally did not bother much either.
The servant led Ava to the second floor casually, pointing to the room in the farthest corner and saying, “Here, this is your room.”
Ava pushed the door open, the memories from her past life flooding back.
This room was the smallest in this mansion. Even the guest rooms were better than hers
However, in her previous life, she was unaware that the Walker family did not truly love her. She naively held a deep sense of gratitude toward them, believing them to be good–hearted people.
Harriet had taught her to be grateful, that it was natural for others to treat her poorly because nobody had an obligation to be kind to her.
So, she always magnified the kindness of others a thousand times over
But now she understood that not everyone was worth her gratitude.
Ava arranged her belongings and, with a light jump, effortlessly landed on the windowsill.
Her legs dangled, swaying back and forth without a hint of fear.
Her gaze remained fixed on the storage room.
It was clearly visible from her room.
Ava touched her cheek as if she could still feel the pain of the blade cutting into her bones.
Herl
lips curled up, a wicked smile blooming on her face
The sound of the phone ringing suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Ava effortlessly jumped down from the window sill and glanced at the name displayed on the phone. Her voice sounded lazy. “I’m here.”
“Ava, let me treat you to a meal. Do me the honor, Manhew Brown’s voice came through
Ava raised an eyebrow and replied, “Alright. Come pick me up”
‘Til be there in 20 minutes
The moment he finished speaking, Ava decisively hung up the phone.
She opened her suitcase and took out a small bag, slipping her phone into it. After a while, she headed downstairs,
As she reached the corner of the staircase, Ava’s footsteps halted.
She could hear David’s voice coming from downstairs.
Unconsciously, she placed her hand over her heart.
She would never forget how these people had taken her heart away. She would never forgive them. She would make them pay for their sins
There was laughter and joy downstairs, and she was nothing more than an annoying burden in their eyes.
