Ava Sterling froze for a moment, hurriedly covered her mouth, and quickly said, "No, no, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it’s foolproof!" "You’re so smart, you can definitely solve it excellently!" After speaking, Ava Sterling’s hand slapped on Poe Vaughn’s shoulder, full of trust. Poe Vaughn looked into her bright eyes and said nothing more. At this moment, she finally felt happy. Ava Sterling was initially in a good mood, but after a phone call from Lillian Donovan, her mood turned sour. Luckily, there was Poe Vaughn. So soon enough, her mood improved again. Calling Quentin Quinn to send over a new set of tidy clothes, Ava Sterling also told Poe Vaughn about Lillian Donovan’s nature, stressing the importance of knowing oneself and the enemy to be victorious in every battle. At first, Ava Sterling hadn’t thought of letting Poe Vaughn solve her problems, hadn’t thought of it at all. After all, this was her own affair, unrelated to him, and she had no reason to trouble him. But when he said those words, Ava Sterling realized her current identity, after all, she was his nominal wife. If anything went wrong with her, it would affect him. Moreover, before he signed the agreement with her, he probably already had everything figured out, one might say he had a plan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to sign the agreement with her. So, she wasn’t worried about this matter and didn’t need to manage it. He would solve everything well. Ava Sterling’s mood improved, feeling no burden at all, her smile became radiant again. When Quentin Quinn brought the clothes over, she didn’t even need Poe Vaughn to lift a hand, she proactively changed his clothes, personally attending to him, sweetly calling him husband. If she hadn’t signed the agreement with him, she might have no trouble at all now. It’s precisely because she signed the agreement with him that she’s facing trouble now, so he also bears some responsibility. Anyway, while they’re still in this agreement period, let him handle everything he can, and once the agreement ends, she’ll disappear, or fabricate a story about her death, so that no one can find her, and she can roam freely with her child. Thinking about this, Ava Sterling felt exceptionally good, as if life was still as delightful and charming. Poe Vaughn watched as this person buttoned his shirt, her smile carried a cunning and slyness, like a clever little fox that profited and still acted innocent. His arm fell around her waist, encircling her, his gaze fixed on her smile, gently tapping his finger. After serving Poe Vaughn well, Ava Sterling took him to eat wontons. Since her mood was better, she could eat the wontons, and while eating, they still tasted delicious. On the contrary, Poe Vaughn remained calm, eating elegantly, completely unlike Ava Sterling’s exuberance. When they finished eating the wontons, it was already past one o’clock, Ava Sterling checked the time; it was near her work hour. So as soon as she got in the car, she told the driver, "To Celeste, make it fast." The driver looked at Poe Vaughn through the rearview mirror, Poe Vaughn was holding Ava Sterling’s hand, playing with her fingertips, without a word. The driver understood that this meant following Ava Sterling’s instructions. Soon enough, the driver started the car, and within seconds, the vehicle merged into the traffic. Ava Sterling was very professional; when working, she worked diligently, without being late or leaving early. But similarly, after work, don’t bother looking for her. As the car stopped at the company entrance, it was just five minutes to two, Ava Sterling dared not delay, promptly opened the car door, and got out without saying a word. The car door shut forcefully, and the tall figure swiftly ran into the company, disappearing in no time. Poe Vaughn sat in the car, watching Ava Sterling disappear from sight, his hand opened up, still in the gesture of holding Ava Sterling’s hand. The driver heard no sound, looked in the rearview mirror, saw Poe Vaughn looking outside, eyes unmoving, he dared not look further, thus withdrew his gaze, sitting and waiting for Poe Vaughn’s command. After a while, Poe Vaughn withdrew his gaze, spoke, "Return to the company." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ⓝovelFire.net The driver started the car, turned on the signal, and soon, the vehicle entered traffic. Poe Vaughn’s eyes gazed ahead, his hands crossed on his lap, deep within his eyes was silent movement, and upon close inspection, the depths resembled a terrifying abyss, like Hell. Lillian Donovan, furious after Ava Sterling slammed the phone, began cursing at her mobile. But such cursing failed to placate her, so she immediately called Ava Sterling back, intending to scold her, only to find Ava Sterling had already turned off her phone. This enraged her even more, but Ava Sterling was so far away, she couldn’t just fume at home. So she promptly booked a flight to Aurelia. That brat thinks she’s soared high by climbing up to Mr. Jing and has stopped considering her, this time she’s going to Aurelia to give her a real lesson, let her know who Lillian Donovan is! Lillian Donovan wasted no time, didn’t even pack luggage, just grabbed her documents and phone, and headed to the airport. In no time, at three forty-five, the plane took off. Lillian Donovan sat on the plane, watching Varden shrink as the plane ascended, and sneered. Ava Sterling, your wings have grown strong. This time in Aurelia, I’m going to clip those wings!
