The voice filled with extreme anger reached his ears, while the faint fragrance on her body enveloped him, wrapping around him deeply. Her hand grabbed him, soft yet domineering, the delicacy and softness of her skin entangled him forcefully, seeping into his heart and running rampant inside. Poe Vaughn opened his eyes and looked at the furious person. Ava saw Poe Vaughn open his eyes and quickly said, "Poe Vaughn, you can’t do this! We need to talk this out, you can’t dodge and not talk about it, this is not right!" "Be honest with me. Do you think there’s something between me and Jace? Do you not trust us?" "I’m telling you, you have to answer me today. If you don’t answer me, I’ll..." Ava stopped speaking suddenly. What if he doesn’t answer? This man is a financial backer, a major client, a wealthy mogul; what can she do to him? If it were in the past, she could still threaten him with divorce, but after what happened this morning, she no longer dares to mention divorce. So, what can she do to him? Absolutely nothing! Ava glared, unable to utter a word. She actually had no way to deal with this man! Poe Vaughn looked at the fleeting weakness in Ava’s eyes, as if her fiery spirit had been stifled by something. She wanted to express it but couldn’t, so she could only glare at him, accusing him with her eyes of her dissatisfaction. His eyes moved deeply, and he opened his mouth. But just then, the car suddenly turned, leaning towards his side, making Ava unstable in her sideways position in the seat. Now the car turned suddenly, and her body fell entirely towards Poe Vaughn. Ava instinctively reached out and grabbed forward, incidentally grabbing onto him. However, even without grabbing him, she wouldn’t have been in trouble, because at the moment the car tilted, Poe Vaughn extended his arms, firmly pulling her into his embrace. Almost unsurprisingly, Ava fell into his arms, with no gap between them. This was indeed sudden, so sudden that she didn’t know how to react. Poe Vaughn’s brows furrowed imperceptibly. He looked at the person in his arms, and she was fine, except for the surprise on her face, there was no other expression. She wasn’t uncomfortable, nor did she feel uneasy. His fingers moved slightly, arms tightening, holding her more securely in his embrace. With his arms tightening around her, Ava reacted, but her reaction wasn’t to this; instead, she looked beneath her body. She looked beside her waist, no armrest there either. Hmm, she remembered there was an armrest here before. Was it removed? Not knowing what she was looking for, Poe Vaughn saw her moving around wildly and spoke, "Sit still." The deep voice entered her ears, pulling Ava’s thoughts back from the Pacific Ocean. But being pulled back, she became displeased again. She glared at him and tried to leave his embrace. But just then, he spoke, "Why would I suspect you and Jace?" But after just a second, her eyes lit up. She sat up excitedly and said, "Why wouldn’t you suspect it?" "If you didn’t suspect, why would you ask such a question? Are you that bored?" Poe Vaughn didn’t make a sound. Ava always had the ability to choke someone with a single sentence, yet she remained unaware of it. Seeing Poe Vaughn silent, Ava became even more convinced she hit the mark and promptly said, "See, you can’t even speak, can you?" This update is available on novel·fire.net "With everything you have going on, all the important matters, how could you focus on such a trivial thing?" "You even asked because of such a small thing. Aren’t you worried about being cheated on or something?" "You are suspecting me and Jace!" Ava lifted her chin, crossed her arms, and looked at Poe Vaughn with a look indicating she had seen through everything. At this time, she had sat up no longer in his embrace, but she didn’t notice Poe Vaughn’s arm remained open and still loosely encircled her waist. He looked as if she was still in his arms. Poe Vaughn watched the confidence in the eyes of the person before him, that certainty and self-assurance, and spoke, "So, I specifically investigated Jace? Checked where he lives?" Poe Vaughn continued, "With everything I have to do, would I really go out of my way to investigate someone unrelated to me?" Ava’s mouth opened, but no words came out. This... seems unnecessary... Seeing the confidence in her eyes cracking, Poe Vaughn continued, "Am I that brainless?" Ava’s face stiffened, her confidence collapsing in an instant. He has so much on his plate every day, would he really investigate Jace because of a phone call with Erin and further check where Jace lived? His brain must have been stuck to do something like that. The problem wasn’t with him. She had overthought it... Ava deflated instantly, her momentum falling from the sky to the ground, her entire face awkward. She didn’t dare look at him, turning her gaze elsewhere, searching for words to ease the current awkwardness. However, it seemed she couldn’t find the right words no matter how hard she tried. Poe Vaughn watched her embarrassment as if she wished she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her face, his fingers moving slightly, rubbing her slender waist. He no longer made a sound. Ava, lost in her thoughts on what to say, didn’t notice the hand on her waist and the fingers playing freely at her waist. For quite a while, she felt she couldn’t find a way to change the situation, so... "Maybe the weather has been too hot lately, making people impatient, so I overthought even small things. Don’t mind me." "Next time, I won’t misunderstand you. Please don’t be mad~" Ava’s face was covered with smiles, full of apology and flattery, she couldn’t be more understanding. Poe Vaughn looked ahead, her soft voice falling into his ears, and a low hum flowed from his throat, without any displeasure. Seeing him , not angry at all, forgiving and generous. She instantly beamed brightly. "Before, I thought you were petty, but now I see you’re not. You’re very generous, with a heart so broad it could float a boat. Really impressive!" "You’re really amazing!" "I said before, you have a brain, you wouldn’t misunderstand me and Jace, and it’s true." "My judgement is spot on, Eyes of Golden Flame!" Only Ava could turn compliments on others back to herself. Poe Vaughn listened to her praise, especially when he heard the words ’have a brain’, his fingers rubbing her slender waist paused. Ava didn’t notice, continuing to compliment him. It could be said, she repeated every compliment she knew. Almost desperately affirming that this person was great. Just then, a vibrating noise rang out, interrupting Ava’s speech. Ava stopped speaking and looked at his pocket. His phone was ringing. Poe Vaughn’s eyes moved slightly, the dark color in them receding as he took out his phone, "Hello." "President Vaughn, Jace recently purchased a villa at the Silvermist Isles and has already moved in."
