"Let’s start with the fourth Miss, which is Sir’s mother, Miss Mina." When Ava Sterling heard the four words "Miss Mina," somehow, her whole mood became solemn, filled with respect, admiration, seriousness, and sincerity. Poe Vaughn’s mother, the woman who divorced directly because her husband cheated during her pregnancy, and returned to her parental home with her child, was remarkably courageous and decisive, without any hesitation or reluctance. She greatly admired such a woman. Although Ava Sterling had never been in love and didn’t know what love was, she knew that a woman, especially hearing that Poe Vaughn’s mother had a good relationship with Hayden Rhodes and started a company together, she knew that the two had feelings for each other. A woman has feelings for a man, marries him, and is pregnant, then that woman loves this man. And to be betrayed by this man while loving him, along with her best friend—it’s a taste that ordinary people could hardly endure. Ava Sterling liked watching TV a lot, although TV was acting, the emotions were real, the pain, sadness, and despair, she could relate to them. When Poe Vaughn’s mother knew she was betrayed by her husband and her best friend, she couldn’t relate, but just imagining it made it difficult to accept for her. Yet in such circumstances, Poe Vaughn’s mother made the rational decision to divorce, didn’t want the company they created together, did nothing but simply leave. Such decisiveness is truly not something a woman can easily achieve. Even she, Ava Sterling, might not be able to be as carefree as Poe Vaughn’s mother. Moreover, if it were her, truly being betrayed by her good friend and her loved one, she would definitely send them both to hell! She, Ava Sterling, definitely could not bear such grievances! However, Poe Vaughn’s mother didn’t, not at all. Rumor says, after divorcing, Poe Vaughn’s mother went back to her parents’ home to nurture her pregnancy and then started a new company. When Poe Vaughn was born, his mother’s new company was established and did very well. But whether the heavens are jealous or not, this exceptionally business-savvy and clear-headed woman tragically died in a car accident three years after her son was born, which truly baffles people. Especially good people die, while bad ones continue living well. Hayden Rhodes and Ronia Ackerly are still alive, living healthily, only Poe Vaughn’s mother passed away. This is truly hard to accept. No wonder every time people bring up the Vaughn and Rhodes families and mention Poe Vaughn’s mother, they get really angry at Hayden Rhodes and Ronia Ackerly. It’s just too infuriating! Ava Sterling generally doesn’t meddle in others’ affairs, anything unrelated to her she won’t interferewith, but now Poe Vaughn has to do with her, so his mother is naturally related to her, making her genuinely angry. At this moment, hearing Vera mention Poe Vaughn’s mother, Ava Sterling instantly felt an intense focus, not daring to show the slightest neglect. "Alright, Vera, please go on, I’m listening." Ava Sterling’s expression changed, her voice too, as if discussing something extremely serious, she was fully attentive. Seeing Ava Sterling , Vera smiled, then gradually suspended in memory. That distant memory spanning several decades. "I joined The Vaughn Family house fairly late, when I arrived Miss Mina was still in high school. I was new then, quite nervous, cautious, fearing making any mistake and getting dismissed." "But the Vaughn Family people aren’t as stern or high and mighty as outsiders perceive them to be. They’re very kind, approachable, even when mistakes happen, they don’t blame us. They’re very good people." "And Miss Mina, especially, with such a good personality: cheerful, wise, beautiful, polite, she never looked down on us workers, chatted with us, offering help when we had difficulties. She treated us like friends, very kind-hearted." "And my first meeting with Miss Mina..." At this, Vera’s voice paused slightly, and her expression changed, as if she saw something incredibly beautiful, making her gasp. Ava Sterling, noticing Vera’s pause, looked at Vera, saw her demeanor, and subconsciously felt anxious, saying, "How was it seeing Poe Vaughn’s mother?" In Vera’s eyes arose a deep astonishment, she said: "Miss Mina was incredibly beautiful. She descended from the stairs wearing a white dress, her long hair cascading down her back, her steps light, gracefully coming down like a fairy, very beautiful." Ava Sterling was stunned. Previously at The Vaughn Residence, the grandma showed her a photo of Poe Vaughn’s mother. It was of a very pretty and beautiful woman, especially those bright, dark eyes paired with smiles, looking like a person with a very vivacious and intelligent disposition. At first glance, the feeling Ava Sterling had towards Poe Vaughn’s mother was that she’s a beautiful, kind woman, extremely good. And Poe Vaughn resembles his mother, particularly those matching bright eyes, truly as if carved from the same mold. However, his mother’s eyes depict happiness, while his eyes show indifference. Back then seeing Poe Vaughn’s mother’s photo, she was amazed, amazed at how beautiful Poe Vaughn’s mother was. Though knowing with Poe Vaughn’s face, his mother’s face couldn’t be less either, upon actually seeing it, she truly marveled fiercely. His mother’s beauty wasn’t ordinary, it was very beautiful. At that time, she even pondered, despite being so beautiful, Hayden Rhodes still cheated; what rotten eyes he must have had! Now hearing Vera’s description, Ava Sterling autonomously pictured an image, decades ago, in Poe Vaughn’s mother’s era. One afternoon beneath a clear sky, a teenage girl radiates youth and smiles coming downstairs. She descends the stairs swiftly, holding the handrail, running down with light steps, the sound of her shoes on wooden floors crisp and pleasant to the ear. At such moments, Vera stood ahead, watching this teenage girl, her beautiful face, her smile, startled into inaction. Googlᴇ search ⓝovelFire.net At this moment, Ava Sterling’s heart unknowingly beat faster. A beautiful woman pleases even same-sex people, without a hint of jealousy. Poe Vaughn’s mother was precisely that non-jealousy kind. She was very lovely, likable, even cherished. "I’ve seen pretty Misses and girls, but Miss Mina’s beauty left me remembering to this day, especially that day." In Vera’s eyes arose feelings of lament, melancholy, complexity, regret, bearing many expressions, making Ava Sterling empathetic. She asked, "And then?" Vera laughed lightly. "That day was my first time seeing Miss Mina, yet I had already been at The Vaughn Family for some time; nevertheless, always feeling tense." "Upon seeing Miss Mina, I hesitated, forgetting to react, foolishly standing there, not even addressing her properly. But seeing me like that, not a bit displeased, she approached, surprised, and suddenly asked, are you the new Vera?" "I was two years younger than Miss Mina, hearing her inquiry snapped me back, promptly lowering my head to address her, causing Miss Mina to chuckle instantly, asking if she was that terrifying that I was startled? Then Miss Mina said, no need to be afraid, she doesn’t bite." "Miss Mina was humorous, fun, lively, with a cheerful disposition, like a flower blooming beneath the sun, radiant and captivating, carrying light all around." "The Vaughn Family had many children, but not many at home, each with different personalities, and at that time Miss Mina was a senior in high school, busy with studies, the matriarch ordered me to accompany Miss Mina, assisting her." "Gradually, I became familiar with Miss Mina. And she treated me like a little sister, caring for me, offering me good things she had, even teaching me to read, introducing me to numerous things I didn’t know. Miss Mina was like a sudden beacon in my life, illuminating my way, making life feel so beautiful." "In the blink of an eye, Miss Mina was attending university."
