Chapter 19
Melissa’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, and even David’s expression displayed a hint of displeasure.
He consciously exuded a sense of intimidation, but Ava appeared unaffected, maintaining a calm demeanor without a trace of fear
“This is Sophia’s special day, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to steal her spotlight.”
glanced at Sophia, who couldn’t help but catch her breath.
Ava truly stood out. It was not just her face but also her overall presence, surpassing even the most distinguished ladies of some aristocratic
families.
Today, she wore only a simple dress, but her innate elegance was still impossible to ignore. If she wore a more luxurious dress…..
Sophia couldn’t help but clench her hands on her knees.
Before she could speak, Melissa reproached in a light tone, “Oh! Sical Sophy’s spotlight! Who do you think you are? You’re merely a nobody who can’t even hold a candle to her! Do you believe you can steal Sophy’s spotlight with just your looks! No way! And why don’t you call her sister but keep addressing her as Sophia
“Call her sister? She doesn’t deserve to be my sister at all Ava thought
s remained calm and unchanged.
Ava’s eyes.
She had long been accustomed to hearing such brazen insults from Melissa!
This was just the beginning
Sophia became so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She hastily grabbed Melissa’s arm and pleaded, “Mom, please, don’t be like this. Mom, don’t scold Ava like that. It’s true that Ava is beautiful. She didn’t mean any harm.”
In Ava’s previous life, Sophia had also protected her like this, which deeply moved her.

Ava set down the knife and fork, losing her appetite entirely.

ay out of it.”
David slammed his hand on the table and declared. “Enought Let’s just casually introduce Ava to everyone at the birthday party.”
He also didn’t want to waste his kindness on someone who was heartless and ungrateful
David had no interest in letting Ava share a birthday with Sophia together.
Ava’s lips curved gently, and she ascended the stairs.
The birthday party in her previous life marked the beginning of her miserable life.
That day, when she had been discovered, she was undressed and lying with a man, reshing in Melissa slapping her with such force that it nearly deafened her. Sophia bravely stepped forward and endured another angry slap from Melissa, shielding Aa with her back.
Since that moment, Ava had been devoted to Sophia
Once
e again, Ava found herself perched on the windowsill.
The cool October night in Rosemont signaled the waning of the heat.
The Walker family’s villa, nesiled on a mountain near the sea, offered a much cooler environment compared to other places.
Her long, slender legs dangled there, swaying gently.
Looking down from this vantage point, the lights from the villa bestowed an eerie aura upon the cottage at night,
As the phone rang. Ava picked it up and answered.
A vibrant voice emanated from the other end of the line, saying, “Ava, someone is inspecting your profile.
Ava arched her eyebrows and inquired. “Who?”
Somehow, the thought of Gabriel came to her mind.

“Could it be Gabriel‘
“Why is he interested in my information? Does he care about me? Dr.” Ava thought,
“I don’t know. Wir intended to track back, but the other party left no trace whatsoever. Nevertheless, you can rest assured that they didn’t uncover any significant information but just found some useless information.”
Ava’s lips curled lightly, and she replied, “Good. I got in”
“You truly retumed, huh? Benjamin informed me that you went back to the Walker family”
Ava replied. “Yeah, it’s time for some people to pay.”
Her tone sounded relaxed, but the person on the other end couldn’t help but shudder,
When Ava said this the last time, those people all came to no good end.
How did the Walker family offend Avat
“Ava, why would you dirty your hands with such matters! As your brothers, you can let us seek revenge on your behalf.”
Brother!
Ava couldn’t help but think of Gabriel.
When he called her Ava, his voice was laced with a warm, affectionate tone of his voice.
Thinking of his gentle gaze and radiant smile, Ava felt her ears burn with shynes

“No need. I’m gonna hang up.”
“Why are you hanging up so soon! Come on. I’d like to talk longer with you”
“It’s time to sleep now”
“Sleep? Ava, it’s too early!”
p the phone directly, and only
by the sound of beeping could be heard on the phone.
However, Ava still hung up
The man on the other end of the line couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at the now–darkened screen of his phone.
Ava was still so cold–hearted and aloof, not at all adorable! But he still loved her so much!
Ava glanced at the time and realized it was only almost 9 pm.
She took a shower, changed her clothes, and turned on the computer. Her fingers danced swiftly on the keyboard.
At 10 o’clock at night, she shut down the computer and closed her eyes, falling asleep on time,
Midnight approached, and all was quier
Especially in the surrounding villa area, silence prevailed.
There were only some people who slept late, and the lights in their rooms were still on.
Suddenly, the entire villa area was engulfed in darkness.
A voice of surprise echoed from one of the houses. “How did the power go out?”
A figure gracefully slid down from the third floor to the first floor.
Soon after, the flame of a lighter flickered to life, Ulluminating Ava’s face.
Ava’s face was cool and r
I radiant, and 1
I herbeautiful eyes einitted an otherworldly glow in the dark night..
Raising her hand, she tossed the lighter, and with a booming sound, the flames shot up two meters high, crackling and engulfing the cabin where she had been imprisoned in her previous life for over a year.
The fire’s glow illuminated the entire night.
A startled cat meowed, its back arched, and its für stood on end as if it had been struck by lightning.
Ava, agile and swift, effortlessly climbed back to h
to her room on the third floor.

Chapter 19
Perching on the windowsill, she watched the flames dance. The crackling of burning firewood now sounded very pleasing and comforting at this
time.
Ava chuckled, her smile bearing a wicked and bright charm.
Within a few minutes, the surrounding villas, including the Walker family’s, suddenly lit up with lights.
Then, a cry of alarmn escaped someone’s lips. “Fire, fire!”
David, cradling Melissa in his arms, had been asleep. When they heard the cry, both of them jolted upright.
Melissa hastily donned a garment and followed David downstairs.
The maids grabbed buckets, while others fetched basins.
“Mr. Walker, Mrs. Walker, it’s not good. There’s a fire in the backyard,” one of the maids exclaimed. “Mr. Walker. Mrs. W
Melissa’s face changed greatly.
The air hung heavy with the sort of smoke.
Even Sophia, deep in slumber, also choked in the dense smoke and abruptly jolted awake.
She coughed, and her face imbued with an abnormal Blush
“What’s happening! Mom, is there a fire somewhere?”
Everyone was busy putting out fires, and someone dialed emergency services.
“Mr. Walker, the fire is spreading rapidly. Please call the firefighters immediately. The fire outside will soon consume everything.”
David was always very sensitive about his reputation. Now his own villa was ablaze. If he contacted the fire department, it would definitely make headlines the next day,
No need
to do that. Go grab the hose and extinguish the fire first”
Everyone was on edge, and sleep cluded them that night.
Amidst the commotion, Ava was nowhere to be seen, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Melissa stood in the courtyard gazing at the raging fire, unable to resist glancing in the direction of Ava’s room.
She recalled that Ava had cast a peculiar gaze toward the backyard earlier in the day.
Could it be…
Melissa couldn’t help but shudder at the thought. It was impossible. How could Ara possess such abilities?
A word of advice from Miss Reynolds: setting fires was a forbidden pursuit, and well–behaved children shouldn’t engage in such activities.
