"When are we getting a divorce?" As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bombshell, leaving the housekeeper stunned and the atmosphere in the living room instantly silent. At this moment, time seemed to stop. Ava noticed the change in atmosphere but didn’t feel there was anything wrong with her question. She needed to know when he planned to divorce so she could decide what to do next. Initially, she intended to probe slowly, but given her nature—it’s simply not her style to hide things or be patient—or to act, she decided to directly ask about it. She faced Poe Vaughn with frank and straightforward eyes, very open and honest. Beside her, the housekeeper’s heart pounded as she watched the two sitting opposed at the dining table, especially Poe Vaughn, whose deep eyes in an instant plunged into an abyss, dark and ominous. The housekeeper’s mouth moved, her heart trembled as she looked at Ava. Confronting Poe Vaughn’s terrifying gaze, Ava seemed unfazed. It was as if she didn’t notice Poe Vaughn’s altered expression; she was naive like a little rabbit, completely oblivious to the storm brewing before her. The housekeeper felt it necessary to speak; otherwise, who knows what might happen. She tentatively said, "Ma’am... perhaps you’re still half-asleep?" "How... how could you say such a thing?" Ava stiffened, turned her head, and only then noticed the housekeeper was still in the living room; she was dazed. She hadn’t seen the housekeeper there... Poe Vaughn looked at her stunned face, unaware that he had stirred up a hornet’s nest. He stood up and walked away. As he got up, the chair made a screeching sound against the marble floor, causing Ava’s heart to tremble slightly. She suddenly looked in Poe Vaughn’s direction and saw the tall and cold figure disappear from sight. She almost disclosed their agreement in front of the household... Ava felt very defeated, realizing she had acted impulsively, messing things up. For the first time, she thought she needed to change her temperament. To prevent any misconceptions by the housekeeper and worried about this reaching the old lady’s ears, Ava quickly explained to the housekeeper after Poe Vaughn left, telling her that she had a dream last night, which led her to mistakenly blurt out those words. She urged the housekeeper not to overthink and especially not to let the old lady know, to avoid her getting worried. The housekeeper listened carefully to Ava’s explanation, then nodded: "Okay, I understand, Ma’am, don’t worry, I won’t tell the old lady." Hearing the housekeeper’s sincere promise, Ava felt relieved: "You’re so wonderful, I really like you, housekeeper." Ava enthusiastically hugged the housekeeper, feeling very touched. The housekeeper said, "Ma’am, the breakfast is getting cold. Please have your breakfast first." The event had already unfolded, and regretting wouldn’t change anything, so she proceeded to eat and drink as needed, then thought of solutions. Official source is NovєlFіre.net After all, he had left; it’s not like she couldn’t find him. Ava peacefully ate her breakfast and then took her car keys to leave, telling the housekeeper she was going to the office. The housekeeper nodded: "Okay, Ma’am, drive safely." Ava pressed down the gas pedal, and the car sped out with a whizz. The housekeeper: "..." Watching the car disappear from the villa, the loud engine noise faded away, and the housekeeper quickly picked up her phone to call Mrs. You. How could she not speak out? The madam had mentioned divorce; she had to inform the old lady! At the old residence, Sharon Sheridan was feeding bird food to Little Eight, feeling quite pleased. But soon enough, her good mood plummeted. Mrs. You quickly came over after finishing the call, telling Sharon Sheridan about Ava and Poe Vaughn discussing divorce this morning. Hearing this, Sharon Sheridan almost dropped the box of bird food. Sharon Sheridan gripped the box tightly, looking sternly at Mrs. You. Mrs. You’s expression was equally serious: "Yes, the housekeeper called me about it." Sharon Sheridan immediately spoke: "Call the housekeeper, I want to ask her." Mrs. You quickly called the housekeeper, and the call connected within seconds, Sharon Sheridan spoke: "Tell me everything that happened this morning without leaving out any details." Soon, the housekeeper told everything from Ava coming downstairs to Ava leaving, Sharon Sheridan listened without uttering a word until Mrs. You finished. Sharon Sheridan hung up the phone, her face somber, lost in thought. Mrs. You rarely saw Sharon Sheridan with such an expression, now seeing her made Mrs. You anxious too: "Madam, could it be the young master and his wife had a fight?" "Or did the young master do something to upset his wife?" Otherwise, why would Ava suddenly bring up divorce? Sharon Sheridan pondered for a while and said: "I’ll call Poe." Thinking about it won’t yield results, she needs to ask the person involved. At the moment, asking Ava would be inappropriate, she could only ask Poe Vaughn. Sharon Sheridan took out her phone, very quickly, placed the call. From early morning, everyone felt that their CEO was terrifying today; since the moment he stepped into the company, a chill spread through the entire office building, causing shivers. Everyone was extremely cautious, even avoiding speaking, communicating through their phones the whole time. [What’s going on? Who pissed off the boss?] [No idea, but the boss’s face is ice-cold today, really frightening.] [It’s more than ice-cold; it’s a death stare. Let’s have a moment of silence for our leaders in today’s meeting.] [Suddenly missing our Supermodel Sterling, haven’t seen her for a while, do you think if she were here this scary vibe would disappear?] [Me too, I trust Supermodel Sterling!] [So, Supermodel Sterling, come quickly, save us...] Poe Vaughn exited the elevator directly into the CEO’s office, bringing a chilly aura, making the secretary shiver who then looked at Justin Quinn. Justin Quinn was about to present some documents; the secretary, disregarding everything else, quickly asked: "Mr. Quinn, what happened?" Justin Quinn certainly also felt Poe Vaughn’s oddness but didn’t know the reason, shaking his head and replied: "Be careful today." With Justin Quinn saying that, the secretary instantly felt hopeless. Seems like being careful won’t be enough... Poe Vaughn just entered the CEO’s office when his phone rang. He took out his phone, paused for two seconds seeing the caller and then answered: "Grandmother." "Poe, what’s going on? Why did Ava suddenly bring up divorce? You both were fine yesterday, weren’t you?" Sharon Sheridan asked directly, not beating around the bush. Such a significant matter, she couldn’t treat it lightly. Poe Vaughn holding his phone, looked out at the sunlight bathing the buildings outside, opened his mouth.
