Ava Sterling never imagined she would be grabbed by a young man, and what she didn’t expect even more was that this young man had the audacity to take her away without even getting her phone number. Ava Sterling reacted and tried to shake off his hand, but just then, Mrs. Wei hurried over and stood in front of her. Meanwhile, Julian Rhodes stopped in his tracks because he heard what Mrs. Wei said. Julian furrowed his brow for a moment, looking at Ava Sterling: "You’re married?" Before Ava Sterling could answer, Mrs. Wei quickly said, "Of course, our madam is married. If she weren’t married, why would I call her madam?" "Let go of our madam now!" As Mrs. Wei spoke, she reached to pull Ava Sterling’s hand, trying to bring her back. Only their master could hold their madam , not another man. However, Mrs. Wei was holding a phone and carrying a fish tank, leaving no hands free. She was quite flustered for a moment, but she quickly reacted, putting the fish tank in a safe spot and tucking the phone into her pocket, before coming over. Ava Sterling found Mrs. Wei’s flustered actions rather adorable, and her previously rising displeasure vanished. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovєlFіre.net She looked at Julian Rhodes and directly said, "Hey kid, I’m advising you to let go quickly, otherwise... it’ll be troublesome." If he didn’t let go, she would have to use force. Dare to take liberties with Ava Sterling, the consequences would be severe. Julian watched Mrs. Wei and Ava, considering what Mrs. Wei said. He didn’t believe Ava Sterling was already married, and clearly, Ava didn’t look like a married woman—she was very young and very beautiful. Her beauty wasn’t external but a confidence radiating from within, with absolutely no excess burden. He really liked this aura of hers—it was extremely attractive, something other women didn’t have. This was the kind of woman he wanted. What does age matter? The right feeling is what’s most important. Ava Sterling’s words reached his ears, fearless and even threatening, but instead, they triggered his possessive desire. He lifted his chin slightly, tightening his grip on Ava Sterling’s hand: "Show me the marriage certificate." "If you can’t produce a marriage certificate, I’ll consider you single." Mrs. Wei was utterly shocked. She’s seen domineering people before, but never someone this domineering, even asking someone for a marriage certificate. "You... how could you say such a thing, young man?" "You’re so young, can’t you confess your admiration to a girl nicely? Must you force her?" "Besides, our madam is indeed married, and she has no reason to show you a marriage certificate." "Let go of our madam now!" Mrs. Wei was also infuriated; she immediately rushed in to give a long lecture and went over to tug Ava Sterling’s hand back. Julian simply didn’t want to hear what Mrs. Wei was saying, and even found her annoying, especially since Mrs. Wei attempted to take Ava away, which made him even more irritated. He directly pushed Mrs. Wei aside, face full of impatience. "My affairs do not need you, an old lady, to interfere!" Having said that, he immediately pulled Ava Sterling and continued towards his Ferrari. But at this moment, the hand in his suddenly moved, then slipped out of his palm like a loach. In a rare moment, Julian was stunned. Ava quickly supported Mrs. Wei, with no longer a smile on her face. Her expression turned cold. A young kid teasing her was no big deal, adding a bit of fun to life. But when the kid laid hands on her, that was no joking matter anymore. Ava supported Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei quickly steadied herself, still shaken. Ava stood in front of Mrs. Wei, telling her, "Mrs. Wei, just keep an eye on little ones. I won’t be taken away by him." Saying this, Ava stepped forward, coming face-to-face with Julian, and directly said coldly, "Apologize." Ava had been smiling earlier, very bright, but now she wasn’t smiling, like an ice queen, cold and intimidating yet mesmerizing. Julian looked at Mrs. Wei, then at Ava Sterling, with a slight change in his expression, saying, "Okay, but you must come with me." Ava’s lips curled slightly, turning her head away, filled with sarcasm on her face. "Kiddo, you see, I’m not someone with a good temper, nor someone with patience." "I was playing with you earlier purely because I was in a good mood, but now, I’m not." As she spoke, Ava’s gaze returned to Julian’s face. Her lips carried a smile, yet her eyes were ice cold: "So, apologize." Julian looked at Ava, clearly seeing the authority and sharpness in Ava’s eyes. As if she might do something unexpected the next moment. If it were a normal person, they would’ve been scared by now. At this moment, Ava Sterling’s aura was truly overwhelming, not easy to provoke. However, the person in front of her wasn’t ordinary; he was Julian from the Rhodes family, spoiled from a young age. How could a young master be easily intimidated? They might even feel a sense of challenge and competitiveness due to the other party’s non-compliance. Julian’s lips curled up: "What if I don’t apologize?" Ava’s eyes narrowed, and even the smile at the corner of her mouth vanished. "If you don’t apologize... then don’t blame me for being impolite." With those words, Ava pushed Julian directly, quick, harsh, and accurate. Julian, unawares, was pushed back several steps, almost losing his balance. Only then did he realize Ava wasn’t just saying it; she was serious. His eyes quickly flashed with surprise, but then he wanted to speak up. But just as he opened his mouth, before he could react, Ava quickly approached and pushed him again. Ava didn’t stop there. While Julian couldn’t react, she gave several more hefty pushes. In an instant, Julian was pushed backward consecutively by Ava, unable to react. Then, on Ava’s fourth push, he tripped over something underfoot, falling heavily to the ground, pain surging. At this moment, he was dumbfounded. From childhood to this day, it seemed no one had ever treated him . He... was left speechless. Ava watched him fall to the ground, sitting heavily in shock, completely stunned. As if, this was the first time he had fallen, never having happened before. Ava curled her lips, a cold smile hanging from them. Indeed, a young master ignorant of life’s hardships, never even fallen, probably doesn’t know what pain feels like. She stepped forward, standing in front of Julian, that smile deepening, and in the next moment, lifted her foot and directly stomped on Julian.
