Ava’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment. What could Lauren know about Poe Vaughn that she doesn’t? Ava looked at Lauren, her eyes narrowed immediately, appearing dangerous. Lauren saw Ava’s sudden change in expression, completely disregarding her studies, clearly concerned, and she laughed inwardly. Updates are released by NoveI-Fire.ɴet Look at her, how much she cares. She thought Ava had unusual feelings for this Celestial Holdings bigwig. Lauren dared not mince words and quickly said, "I just heard a bit of gossip saying that Poe Vaughn’s half-brother went gambling in Las Vegas and got trapped, losing a billion dollars." "Now they’ve detained his brother, and the Rhodes Family needs to gather money to ransom him, leading to chaos in the entire Rhodes Family." Ava thought it was something about Poe Vaughn, a big issue, but it turned out to be about that half-brother having nothing to do with Poe Vaughn. Ava snorted instantly, showing disdain: "Those Rhodes Family folks should stay away from Poe Vaughn." "Those heartless, disgusting types should stay as far away as possible." Ava had heard rumors about the Vaughn Family and the Rhodes Family before and knew a bit. But it had nothing to do with her, and she took it as just gossip for amusement. However, since marrying Poe Vaughn, spending so much time together, and hearing the old lady talk about how pitiful Poe Vaughn is, Ava became displeased with the Rhodes Family. It used to be indifference, now it’s definitive, disgusted, displeased, unlikable. Her father cheated during her mother’s pregnancy, with her mother’s best friend no less, causing her mother to return to her parents’ home while pregnant, and later leading to a car accident. Although the car accident wasn’t the Rhodes Family’s fault, it was cause and effect; without Poe Vaughn’s father’s affair, without the best friend’s betrayal, how could her mother have divorced her father and later gotten into an accident? A family that should have been happy and complete was destroyed by these two vile individuals, what good feelings could come from that? Ava felt loathing from the bottom of her heart, disdain. On the surface, Ava clearly showed displeasure, standing up for her people, while Lauren looked on, feeling compelled to click her tongue. Lookie here, how much she cares. In the past, whenever talking about some bigwig, gossip, she’d just listen and occasionally give an opinion or scorn, but never with this protective attitude. Lauren felt that Ava’s marriage to this Celestial Holdings bigwig might not be so simple? Ava, does she person? Thinking this way, Lauren’s heart filled with intense curiosity and gossiping intent. Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen what this person looked like, had no idea if he was handsome, tall, had long legs, or was the type Ava liked? Lauren’s thoughts wandered for an instant, drifting to the Pacific Ocean. Ava didn’t notice because she picked up her book to continue reading right after speaking. But then, she found herself unable to focus, words weren’t words, the book wasn’t a book. Ava frowned, put the book down, thought for a moment, then tossed it aside, crossing her arms and glancing at Lauren, "Where did you hear about this?" Lauren was still guessing what this Celestial Holdings bigwig was like, thinking about when Ava was in a good mood to gossip and probe for information, satisfying her curiosity. After all, up till now, she hadn’t seen what that person looked like and didn’t know why they got married. As an assistant, she should know at least a little, right? To prevent any emergency, she could preemptively plan a response. Before Lauren could think further, Ava’s voice fell into her ears, waking her up immediately, she promptly said, "It’s just a rumor online, no idea who spread it, but now many people know." Ava looked at Lauren, saw her face full of gossip fervor, her face darkened. But before she could react, Lauren’s voice sounded again, and Ava’s eyebrows tightened for a moment. Lauren nodded, quickly took out her phone, opened the message she saw earlier to show Ava, "Look." Ava took the phone and looked at the message Lauren pulled up on the screen. It was entertainment news, with the headline reading: [Rhodes Family Young Master Allegedly Trapped, Lost a Billion Dollars in Las Vegas, Rhodes Family in Full Chaos!] The headline directly emphasized the point, instantly drawing attention. Ava saw the headline and scrolled down to read the details below. The content was detailed, discussing who the Rhodes Family young master is, what he looks like, his usual behavior, explaining the whole situation clearly. And in this content, there wasn’t a mention of the Vaughn Family, not even a Vaughn name. As if the Rhodes Family had nothing to do with the Vaughn Family, as if Julian Rhodes was completely unrelated to them. You could say the entire article revolved solely around Julian Rhodes and the Rhodes Family, without any ambiguity. And upon careful reading, it was uncertain whether intentional or not, you get a feeling that the Rhodes Family deserved it. Ava thought perhaps the person reporting had a grudge against the Rhodes Family? Otherwise, why would it give a strong sense of triumphal revenge? The report below had comments, already more than ten thousand. Ava raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised by the article’s popularity. She became interested, wanting to see what the comments were saying. [They say people shouldn’t do bad things, as there’ll be retribution. In the past, I didn’t believe it, but now, I really do!] [It’s only a matter of time for karma to strike...] [Let everyone see how fate is dealing with the Rhodes Family, serves them right, bah!] [Scum men and vile women should be tortured!] [While we’re at it, drive the Rhodes Family to Hell, never to recover.] [I think the Celestial Holdings bigwig should seize this opportunity to reclaim his mother’s company. Zhou Ning was founded by his mother, and it’s been in the hands of thieves for years, it’s time to take it back.] Ava read these comments, feeling the corners of her mouth gradually curl into a grin, laughing freely. In this world, there are many mistresses, many shameless people. Ava knows it well and wouldn’t meddle, everyone has their life, everyone has their choices, as long as they don’t bother her, she won’t interfere or mind others’ business. But now, she’s married to Poe Vaughn, and Poe Vaughn treats her well; naturally, she must be loyal, his matters are hers too. His mother had been hurt this way, and now the villains who hurt his mother are suffering, she felt it was deserved. They say heaven has eyes, and indeed it does.
