Chapter 31
When Gabriel looked over upon hearing that exclaim, the crowd had blocked Ava and Benjamin from his view.
Joshua scratched his head and grinned as he said, “Did I mistake someone for Ava?”
Then, Joshua continued. “Gabe, you can go to the antique clubs if you want to get the old sir a gift. Or else, you can even go to auctions. What good stuff can you get here?”
Gabriel answered calmly, “Why would I spend more when I can end lesser?”
Joshua pointed at Gabriel speechlessly as he said, “Alright! You wind
Recently, Gabriel had been good at retorting everyone.
He could just end the conversation with his retort.
“But I did see Ava just now.”
However, Ava was a student, and she–seemed poor. It was almost impossible for her to come here to purchase things.
Ava and Benjamin walked into the street in the west.
Suddenly, Ava stopped walking and pointed at a ring as she asked the seller, “Can you sell this to me for one hundred. dollars?”
It was a silver ring.
The seller glanced at her and said, “One hundred dollars? I would not sell to you even if you pay me one thousand dollars.”
Ava continued cutting the price. “Can you sell it for fifty dollars?
“What? Fifty dollars? No! I’m not selling it. The seller was pissed off and rejected.
The seller was doing this mainly because he saw Ava dressed ordinarily, yet her temperament looked extraordinary. He thought she might be from some wealthy family and was here to shop. She even offered one hundred dollars. So, he decided to use this opportunity to scam more money out of her
Ava was calm as she nodded and said, “Okay then.”
She turned around and left decisively, startling the seller.
“Hey! I’ll sell it.”
Fifty dollars would do too. It was better than nothing.
Benjamin took over the item and kept it for Ava silently.
Ava’s appraising skill was so good that she had never missed.
After walking two streets, Ava bought a few items, each of which differed from the other.
There were porcelain, painting, gem, and many others.

“Are we done? Is there any place we missed?
Ava’s eyes were bright, and Benjamin was happy for her.
It must be because she had gotten a few good stuff at low prices that she was so happy the could make a prodeo of them
“There is one more street left,” Benjamin answered.
“Alright. Let’s go.”
Ava was excited
Meanwhile, Benjamin looked calm.
He had no sisters. So, he had been taking Ava as his sister.
Ava was looking at the items on the stalls as she walked. She did not pay attention to what was ahead and bumped into
someone.
She stopped and heard a deep and surprised male voice saying. Ava?”
Ava lifted her head in shock.
She had almost bumped into Gabriel’s chest..
Her lips coincidentally brushed Gabriel’s Adam’s apple when she lifted her head.
Realizing this, Ava froze. Her faceflushed red instantly, making her look like a living apple.
She looked like someone who had just made a mistake and stood before Cabriel awkwardly. She looked obedient and friendly.
It shocked Benjamin to see her like this.
Was that

When had Ava
the Ava he knew?
ever looked so obedient before?
He wondered who the man before Ava was
Benjamin pulled Ava toward him. Gabriel noticed it, and his gaze fell on Benjamin’s hand.
When Benjamin pulled Ava, he grabbed Ava’s arm.
Benjamin looked at Gabriel warily because he did not know Gabriel.
Ava did not notice his gaze and introduced Gabriel to him.
“Ben, this man is Gabriel Anderson. Mr. Anderson, and the man beside him is Joshua Smith, Mr. Smith.”
Benjamin was taken aback.
He wondered why Ava knew the two of them.
Chapter 31
“Hello, I’m Benjamin Foster.”
Joshua smiled as he looked at Benjamin and said, “Ava’s friend is friend of ours. What are you two doing here?”
“Buying something casually
Joshua asked. “Did you get anything good?”
Gabriel asked. “Ava, do you know how to appraise antiques?”
Ava immediately wanted to present her treasures to Gabriel. “Galie, do you want to take a look at what I have bought?”
Then, she took out a few items she had bought and showed them to Gabriel.
Joshua was speechless.
He could not believe these two were like lovebirds.
She had treated him coldly yet was so enthusiastic toward Gabriel.
Gabriel smiled. “Not bad, Ava. You have a good taste.”
“Really? I have the same thought too.
Benjamin looked at how the two got along and was shocked.
He did not know Gabriel and Ava were so close.
When did Ava get to know Gabriel?
Gabriel was not a simple person. He was the heir of the Anderson family in Windvale.
“Gabe, are you here to shop too?”
“Yes. I was looking around casually. Have you had your meal? Are you hungry?”
Nothing was better than bumping into each other coincidentally
Ava recalled the sudden call from work on Saturday and might not have time to have a meal with Gabriel. So, she might as well have a meal with him now.
Since Gabriel had asked, Ava said, “I haven’t eaten anything. Gabe, why don’t I buy us a meal?”
Joshua nodded. “Okay.”
Gabriel glanced at Joshua, warning him not to be so excited.
Ava smiled and generously said, “I am unfamiliar with this area. Why don’t you guys choose the place?”
After leaving the antique streets, they looked for a restaurant nearby and entered.
Gabriel received another message after they took their seats and ordered the dishes. He took out his phone and saw countless unread messages

When he saw Wendy’s message, Gabriel’s mood sank, and his gaze turned cold.
Wallace had sent the surveillance footage to his email. He had no watched it yet. However, Ava’s video of her hitting someone was already on the trending topics,
Noticing the change in Gabriel’s expression, Joshua glanced at his phone, and his expression turned gloomy too.
He quickly took out his phone and searched. Apparently, Ava will famous now.
Moreover, the comments were worse than what Wendy had screenshot and sent to Gabriel
Some of the netizens were even already searching for Ava’s address,
Some netizens even said Ava was once a gangster and had slept with many other gangsters.
There were even people guessing who Ava’s sugar daddy was. They said she must have slept with her sugar daddy to get Rosemont High School.
into
They said she should be expelled from Rosemont High School. How could she even have the guts to study there anymore? It was a disgrace to the Rosemont High School.
Michelle had paid for people to comment so that it would be on her side.
“Gabe, Ava…
Ava looked at him lazily as she supported her head with her hand.
She was beautiful, and her action made her look lazy yet seductive, which was pleasant to watch like she was a painting.
“I know. It’s okay. Let
them have some fun first. I’ll deal with them after filling mys
Although she said that calmly, she sounded confident.
Joshua was interested to know her plan. “How do you plan to deal with them?”
Ava still looked calm. “I have my way.”
Her arrogant attitude reminded Joshua of the first time he met her.
Ava was straightforward and said they should not drive or the person beside them would die immediately.
Suddenly, Joshua felt he had nothing to worry about.
Benjamin knew Ava well. So, when Ava said it was fine, it would be fine.
Gabriel looked at Ava
Every time he thought he knew Ava well, Ava would reveal a new side of her, making her mysterious and attractive to him.
