Chapter 4
Ava hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I don’t know you. However, I’ve seen you in my dreams. Tonight, you will have a car accident, and the person bende you will die on the spot”
Ava knew her words sounded absurd, but she spoke the truth. Whether others believed her or not was none of her concern. She just wanted to say
Joshua was instantly infuriated upon hearing thus.
The girl appeared so lovely and agile and had caught his attention. Hut he had not expected that such venomous words would spill out when she opened her mouth. He had to suspect that she was trying to curse him
did this little lunatic come from? You can’t possibly believe her nonsense, Joshua exclaimed.
“Gabe, where did i
Unexpectedly, Gabriel seemed entranced, and his smile toward Ava was gentle and exquisite, like a beautiful spring scene,
believe you.” he said.
Both Ava and Joshua were taken aback
Ava gazed at the face before her. The face was so handsome that it bordered on otherworldly. Somehow, her heart felt a slight stir.
In her previous life, under Sophia’s repeated manipulations and schemes, she had endured unspeakable sidering and could never find the courage to speak up. How she wished someone would say, “I believe you.” But no one had ever said that to her before. Even in the final moments of her life, she was despised and misunderstood.
“I guess your home must be nearby, right? We plan to stay here. Could we spent the night at your place Gabriel asked.
shocked and looked at Gabriel. He could not believe that Gabriel was so careless.
“Gabe?” Joshua was unterly sh
They had witnessed firsthand how skilled Ava was in a fight, and it was clear that she was dangerous. If she were to have any malicious intentions, such as attempting to kidnap the esteemed Gabriel, there would be no stopping her
Furthermore, they had no knowledge of whether or not Ava had any accomplices. If she did, their situation would become even more perilous.
Gabriel paid no attention to Joshua, and his gaze was still fixed on Ava
Ava shrugged indifferently. “If you want to stay, that’s fine, but it won’t be for free. I’ll cost you 100 thousand dollars for one night”
In her past life, she had saved Gabriels life, and in this life, she had saved Joshua’s life. Demanding 100 thousand dollars was not unreasonable. Joshua instantly turned his
turned his gare toward her, flames of anger flickering in his eyes
“100 thousand dollars for oor night! Is she robbing us?” thought Joshua.
On the other hand, Ava cast him a calm and unruffled glance, her eyes tranquil and undisturbed.
This made Joshua momentarily stunned. Such a gaze was not typical for a girl her age. It was somewhat cold yet carried a hint of timidation.
But the thought of giving Ava 100 thousand dollars did not sit well with Joshua
To Joshua and Gabriel, 100 thousand dollars was a negligible amount, yet what made Joshua unhappy was the inexplicable reason for giving Awa some money out of nowhere.
Nevertheless, Gabriel’s lips curved slightly as he said, “Alright.”
He held the umbrella over Ava’s head, shielding her from the drizzling rain.
It was still raining.
I’m Gabriel What’s your name?” he asked.
“Ava” she replied in a calm voice.
Joshua, on the other hand, looked at her abruptly.
“Ava? The daughter of Melissa Walker and her ex–husband thought Joshua,
“What relation are you to Melissa Walker!” Joshua asked.
Awa felt a sudden pang in her heart upon hearing that name from others. Her thin body stiffened for a moment.
She replied in a cold tone. “Someone irrelevant.”

Her voice was extremely icy.
Gabriel seemed slightly displeased, saying, “Josh
Joshua wanted to say something but met Gabriel’s icy gaze and remained silent.
The Anderson family was the leading aristocratic family with substantial wealth and heritage in Windvale.
Gabriel was the apple of his parents and grandparents‘ eyes, the cherished gem of the family. At home, he received more love and attention than any other child. He had shown remarkable intelligence from a young age.
At the age of 21, he established his business empire.
He possessed both looks and abilities, and countless female socialites had tried to climb into his bed only to meet disastrous outcomes
He was not easy to get along with, yet now, he was following a young girl
“We’re here,” Ava said in a chilly voice. She opened the door, revealing the scene inside.
The furniture in the house was worn out but clean and tidy. There was one room and a small living room with a couch.
“For such a shabby place, we must pay her 100 thousand dollars?” thought Joshua.
“Young lady, do you think this place is worth 100 thousand dollars? Joshua asked.
Ava raised her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were cold, aloof. She spoke in a low voice, “Do you think the lives of you and Mr. Anderson are only worth 100 thousand dollars?
Her words left Joshua speechless
Ava brought out two sets of blankets from the room and placed them on the couch.
“There’s only one room. One of you can sleep on the couch, and the other can sleep on the floor, just make do with it,” she said, yawning and covering her face. Tm going to sleep first. There are disposable toothbrushes in the drawer of the TV cabinet.
The bathroom door closed, and Ava brushed her teeth and washed her face. Without glancing at them, she entered the room, and the sound of the door locking followed.
She indeed did not regard them highly.
son two grown men, even if there were ten of them, they might not be able to overpower her.
Not to mention two
Back in the room, the phone rang, Ava answered, and a male voice came through, saying, “Ava, are you really going to Rosemont tomorrow? If you leave, how will we protect ourselves from bullying?”
Ava let out a disdainful chuckle. “What are you talking about? If you can’t win, just get beaten. Don’t want to get beaten, then run. I’m going to sleep. Take care of yourselves.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
On the other end, the guy felt a heavy sense of disappointment. Indeed, Ava’s indifference was truly indiscriminate. Even he, her loyal follower for five years, was discarded just like that.
Outside the door, Gabriel sat down and lowered his long lashes, hiding the emotions in his eyes
Joshua glanced around, and his disdain was obvious.
“I mean, Gabe, what have you been searching for these two years! Are you planning to settle down here?” Joshua asked.
Before Joshua could finish speaking, Cabriel had already stood up and pulled out a set of disposable toothbrushes from the drawer. He then tore it open without hesitation. With a swift and decisive motion, he said to Joshua, “If you don’t want to stay, then leave.”
Joshua was speechless.
He felt completely powerless against Gabriel. If Gabriel refused to leave, he certainly did not have the courage to walk away, either.
If anything were to happen to Gabriel, Joshua would be ashamed to face anyone.
Resigned, Joshua took out another disposable toothbrush.
Inside Ava’s room, no sound could be heard, and even the lights were turned off.
The soundproofing of the house was poor, and the noise of a couple arguing and swearing loudly could be heard from somewhere.
The voices of drunkards shouting and screaming, along with the sound of someone playing loud music…

As he sprawled on the floor, the unforgiving hardness of the surface sent aching sensations pulsating through his bones. His patience had finally reached its limit. He could not stay in this rundown place any longer.
He sat up
sat up abruptly, looked at Gabriel, and said, “Cabe, you’re not falling for that girl, are you?”
Gabriel, who was lazily leaning against the sofa, chuckled lighuty at the remark. The smile in his eyes was like sparkling starlight.
Joshua was taken aback. He could not believe that Gabriel smiled when he asked that question.
Gabriel’s lips curled up gently. “Wh
