Chapter 22 Leo’s heart trembled when he heard that. Ava’s face was filled with happiness as she continued with her narration. “At that moment, she knew that the world still had good people, and she was not afraid of dying anymore. In fact, she knew that she had just gotten a direct ticket to heaven. The only regret in her heart was that, she would never get the chance to thank that one person who was there for her when she had no one.” Tears were streaming down her face but she did not care. She was tired of carrying this burden in her heart, and although she knew that Leo might not believe her, and he might even think that she was crazy, she wanted him to know just how important he was to her. “Leo, you have no idea how happy my friend was when she opened her eyes and realized that she was not dead. In fact, she had been given an opportunity to write the wrongs done to her, and live a life of her dreams.” Leo hugged her tightly. His heart was in so much pain and the blood thirst

Chapter 24 Amara looked at Ava who was about to disappear from her sight and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. Maybe she could not stomach the fact that Jason had divorced her, so she found herself an old businessman to toss around with. Before Ava could completely disappear, Amara looked at her back and shouted, “Aren’t you going to say hello to an old friend?” Ava pretended as if she did not hear her as she continued to walk forward. She did not want her day to be ruined by this bitch who only knew how to seduce married men. Seeing that she was being ignored by this sl*t, Amara’s face clouded and she immediately followed after Ava. She called out in a cold voice, “Ava West, don’t you remember your old schoolmate?” Ava finally stopped in her tracks and turned around. She looked at Amara and waved her hand as if she could not wait to get rid of an annoying fly. She looked at the woman in front of her and smiled lightly. In a voice that betrayed no emotions, she asked, “Who a

Chapter 26 Everyone was startled by the coldness in Ava’s voice and their backs stiffened. But it was only for a split second before they came back to their senses. Martha looked at her and sneered, “Nothing. We just turned it into a trash room.” Ava’s face darkened as the coldness in her voice intensified, “And why would you do that?” “The West family only has one daughter, and that is June. Why would we spare a room for a wild dog that did not belong to our family? My daughter did not like your room, and since we could not uproot it from the house, we had to find some use for it.” Martha said domineeringly. Ava turned to the man who had been cold to her ever since her mother died and asked in an emotionless voice, “Dad, did you approve of that?” Henry was shocked when Ava called him dad. When was the last time he heard his unfilial daughter address him as a dad? Although he was surprised, he looked at Ava with disdain and said in a flat voice, “Who is your father? Please, don’

Chapter 28 Leo closed the document and looked at her, “With everything here, you can successfully reclaim back the company and everything that belongs to the West family.” Ava widened her eyes in shock when she heard that, “Really?” “Yes. With the help of the lawyers, it won’t be hard.” Leo claimed. He looked back at the documents in front of him, his eyes shrouded with a mysterious light. Ava looked at his serious face and she could not help but ask, “And what is with the long face? Is something the matter?” Leo looked at her and asked, “Do you know anything about your mother’s family?” Ava thought about it and shook her head. Her mother died when she was very young, and coupled with the fact that a part of her memories had been missing for over two decades, there was not much she could recall. The only thing that was vivid in her mind was her mother’s gentleness, and the fact that she loved her so much. “I really don’t know much. After mom died, dad’s mind was on his other fa

Chapter 30 Ava lowered her head further, her black hair falling on her shoulder while it covered half of her face. Leo seemed not to have heard Amanda’s questions. He did not shift his gaze from Ava as he said, “If it is nothing official, kindly refrain from coming to my office, Miss Barrett. This is not somewhere that you can just come in as you wish.” Amanda’s face paled further. Seeing that his boss was really getting angry, and if this continued, no one would be able to bear the consequences, Dan looked at Amanda and spoke up, “Miss Barrett, I will show you out.” Amanda looked at Leo’s cold back, and then at Ava. Although half of her face was hidden, she could still make out her features. She was beautiful but not to the extent of comparing herself to her, the uncrowned queen of the city. In her eyes, she did not even regard Ava as competition, but as someone who was clinging to Leo just because of his money and status. Being ignored by the man she had loved since she was you
