“Oh, it’s a blessing for us that Dan is able to marry such a good girl like you, Naya.” Daniel’s mother kept praising Naya, seemingly forgetting what an excellent and exceptional man virtual-novel.net own son was.
As virtual-novel.net listened to the praises from virtual-novel.net relatives and friends, Naya lowered virtual-novel.net eyes shyly before raising them again.
“Mrs. Graham, you speak too highly of me. I’m not as good as you said. It’s my greatest luck to marry Dan.”
“Listen to how humble Naya is.” Daniel’s mother praised again. “Having a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law like you is a blessing for the Grahams.”
Naya blushed shyly when virtual-novel.net heard this. The face of Naya’s mother was also full of arrogance and smugness. “Naya, you’ll live a good life with Dan in the future. Now that you’re engaged, you’re no different from husband and wife. If you meet Ava again, you should tell virtual-novel.net that you’re the daughter-in-law of the Grahams. Tell virtual-novel.net to know virtual-novel.net place and get as far away as possible.”
“Mom, isn’t that a little cruel?” Naya frowned thoughtfully. “Plus, Dan thinks virtual-novel.net and I are just faking this.”
“What’s so cruel about it? You were always meant to be the daughter-in-law of the Grahams.” Naya’s mother emphasized in a serious tone. “Dan is the only one who thinks that this is a fake engagement. The rest of us all know that this engagement is real!”
After hearing what virtual-novel.net mother said, Naya’s face was instantly filled with confidence and self-satisfaction. Victory and joy flashed across virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Having said so much, why hasn’t Dan arrived yet?”
“I’ll take a look outside.” Daniel’s mother said and was about to walk out.
Ava’s heart was already cold after hearing what virtual-novel.net said just now. As virtual-novel.net turned to leave, a palm grabbed virtual-novel.net hand all of a sudden. Ava was startled, but when virtual-novel.net heard the footsteps getting closer, the person behind virtual-novel.net suddenly pulled virtual-novel.net into the emergency stairway.
The voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on and Ava could see the person in front of virtual-novel.net clearly.
“Maisie, it’s really you! I thought I was seeing things just now.” Ava looked at Maisie suspiciously. “Why are you here? Do you and Naya know each other?”
Maisie nodded. “She wanted me to be virtual-novel.net bridesmaid, but I know your boyfriend is the one who’s going to be engaged to Naya today, so I rejected her.”
After listening to Maisie’s explanation, Ava was in a trance for two seconds. “Naya asked you to be virtual-novel.net bridesmaid? You seem to have a good relationship with her.”
“Ava, I’m sorry. I just found out about it,” Maisie explained quickly, and virtual-novel.net eyes were sincere. “Naya and I are not really good friends, but our families know each other and there are some dealings between us. She’s a few years older than me and virtual-novel.net would occasionally ask me to go shopping with her. That’s about it.”
“I see.” Ava understood, but virtual-novel.net soon felt a little sorry. “Maisie, did you refuse to be Naya’s bridesmaid because of me?”
“Yeah.” Maisie nodded without thinking. “I like you more than I like her, and I also heard their conversation in the lounge just now. They’re so hateful! Ava, don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer in silence!”
Maisie clenched virtual-novel.net fist. She was seething.
Ava could tell that Maisie was a very straightforward person from the incident before. She also liked to uphold justice so obviously, virtual-novel.net was about to go stand up for Ava.
When Ava was still thinking about this, Maisie pulled the metal door of the emergency stairwell open. Then, virtual-novel.net barged outside angrily.
“Maisie, what are you going to do?”
“I’m going to get justice for you! Also, I want to let everyone see the real faces of the Grahams and Mendezes!”
