Elara Shelby’s expression turned severe for a moment, and her gaze at Jace Kingsley became sharp: "She married another man, spends every day with him, doing the most intimate things daily, can you accept that?" "Jace, I don’t believe it, you can truly endure the one you love finding pleasure in another man’s embrace!" Her last sentence was harsh. Her son, so exceptional, so good, how could he use what others have used? A woman like that isn’t even worthy of carrying her son’s shoes, let alone dreaming of marrying him! Elara Shelby withdrew her hand, turning her head away, no longer looking at Jace Kingsley: "If your heart still lingers on such a filthy woman, then I no longer have you as my son!" "Bella Ainsworth, take me upstairs." Elara Shelby ordered, and Bella Ainsworth bowed: "Yes." She pushed Elara Shelby upstairs, while Jace Kingsley remained seated, his hand clenching silently under Elara Shelby’s few words. His eyes turned bloodshot. How could he not care? How could he possibly accept this? But this is the reality; he must accept it even if he doesn’t want to, he must pretend not to care even if he does. He desires a lifetime, not just a fleeting moment. Watching the person being pushed upstairs, in an icy silence, Jace Kingsley stood up: "Mother, I love Ava, and that will never change in this life." "You will always be my mother, and Ava will forever be the woman I love the most." "I want to marry her, to have children with her, please don’t harm her, mother." "Otherwise, if she is hurt even a little, I will be harmed tenfold." "If I lose her, then, mother, you will also lose me forever." After saying this, Jace Kingsley turned and left. He knows his mother’s methods, he must speak clearly, otherwise, Ava will be in danger. He will not allow his mother to harm Ava. Bella Ainsworth pushed Elara Shelby to the top of the stairs, then turned the wheelchair so that Elara faced the villa door. She watched clearly as Jace Kingsley left and got into his car. Very quickly, the car disappeared from her sight. Googlᴇ search novèlfire.net Elara Shelby’s hand clutched the wheelchair armrest tightly, her expression changed repeatedly, becoming extremely terrifying. Jace Kingsley drove to Celeste. He wanted to see her, just to see her. But when the car stopped outside Celeste, he dared not go in. She is determined to sever ties with him to avoid causing him harm, and the closer he gets, the more resolute she becomes. He cannot go in, just staying outside is enough for now. Before, he was always tense, never daring to relax, but now, he relaxed, feeling entirely at ease and calm. She cares about him, she holds him in her heart. As long as there’s this, he’s not afraid of anything. Turning off the engine, Jace Kingsley sat in the car, gradually smiling. The smile in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a deep darkness. He must make them divorce, only then can Ava be with him. In this moment, the thoughts in Jace Kingsley’s mind stirred. Many ideas silently surfaced. After a long while, he took out his phone, and dialed a number. "Investigate, see if Poe Vaughn has had any other women over the years, or if there’s anyone who admires him." "Investigate thoroughly, don’t miss a single one." The call ended, Jace Kingsley put down the phone, looking at the company entrance outside, the smile in his eyes gradually returned. He can wait, but he doesn’t want it to be too long. If possible, he doesn’t mind shortening this time. Retracting his gaze, Jace Kingsley put his phone aside, started the car, and drove away. Now, he knows what to do. The blazing sun continued to scorch, as summer still flourished. At this moment, at Aurelia Airport, a plane arriving from Las Vegas landed on the tarmac.
