Chapter 9
Upon hearing her footsteps, everyone paused and looked at Awa.
Just now, they were chatting happily, and the room was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, but the moment they saw Ava, they suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.
Ava’s lips curled up. “Looks like I came at the wrong time. Perfect, I won’t be having lunch here today.”
David furrowed his brow involuntarily,
Ava possessed enchanting beauty, especially her well–shaped eyes, which were incredibly alluring
Melissa mentioned that Ava grew up in a small place and naturally had a submissive personality. They believed they could easily control her with their power and influence.
However, looking at her now, it was clear that she was not timid at all. She played her cards with confidence. She acted as if she was the true daughter of the Walker family just because they adopted her.
Naturally. David’s expression turned unpleasant…
Melissa scolded. “Ava, how dare you speak like that? David specifically came back from the office to see you, and this is your attitude?
Ava looked at
David.
He was in his forties, with a refined appearance, but unfortunately, he was nothing more than a beast in human skin.
Upon hearing Melissa’s words. David smiled amicably and generously
“Lissa, you shouldn’t say that to Ava. Maybe she has friends in Rosemont and wants to see them. If she wants to go, let her. Remember to come back for dinner in the evening.
He looked considerate, gentle, and kind.
A disdainful gleam flickered in Meliss’s eyes. “She came from Brookhaven. How could she know any friends in Rosemont?”
Before Melissa could finish her sentence, she saw Ava walking straight toward the door.
Melissa had enjoyed a life of privilege for over a decade. Even David would accommodace her in front of others. She had never been so humiliated by someone
Melissa immediately walked quickly toward Ava, shouting sternly, “Aval Stop right there.”
Ava’s footsteps did not pause.
In her previous life, she was obedient and cautious, carefully observing people’s expressions to please them, striving to be a well–behaved girl. YEL she met a tragic end, becoming a victim of misfortune.
This time, she was determined to do things her way and find her own pleasure.
If she were not happy, she would make them suffer 100
Melissa, unable to tolerate Ava’s indifference, raised her hand to slap her.
Ava heard Melissa’s hand approaching, but instead of dodging, the raised her wrist and skillfully blocked and pushed it aside.
Before anyone could fully comprehend what had happened, Melissa stumbled and fell backward. Behind her was a delicately carved wooden chair. Melissa’s lower back collided with the chair’s armrest.
Melissa immediately cried out in pain, her eyes burning red.
Sophia became anxious and hurried over, her eyes filled with concern. “Mom, Mom, what happened? Are you alright?
But Ava did not stop and walked straight out.
Everyone was 100 preoccupied with Melissa at that moment to pay attention to Ava
David’s expression changed, and Melissa could barely stand up straight, clutching her waist in agony,
Lifting her dress slightly, Melisa discovered a large bruise.
David quickly called the servant to bring medication for Melissa.
“Lissa David’s face filled with anguish.
Chapter 9
Melissa gritted her teeth secretly.
She harbored resentment, saying, “Look, David, this child refuses to be close to me. If only she had half the thoughtfulness of Sophia, then maybe i wouldn’t be feeling so down.”
Melissa recalled how difficult it was to raise Ava when she was born.
At that time, she did not intend to breastfeed Ava to maintain her figure.
Ava only consumed formula for three or four months before being fed porridge by Irina
Melisa had no love for her daughter at all.
Ava was not the child she had planned to have, and she felt nothing but disgust.
Whenever litle Ava cried, she would either hit or scold her.
When Awa was just over two years old, Melissa could not wait to leave that home and never looked back.
David’s eyes flickered with a hint of darkness, but he patted Melissa’s shoulder and pretended to be considerate, saying, “It’s been over a decade since you two saw each other. She probably thought you didn’t want her anymore. It’s normal for her to have complaints. As for you, don’t scold her anymore. With time, she’ll naturally see the good in us.”
Sophia, understanding and mature beyond her years, chimed in, “Mom, that’s right. Ava has just arrived, so she’s still adjusting. In the future, I’ll be good to Ava. Ill take care of her”
Hearing Sophia’s words, Melissa felt even more gratified, but at the same time, her disgust for Ava deepened.
