“Ava, don’t say anything first. I know what you’re going to say. Calm down and listen to me first.” Raegan interrupted hastily, soothing Ava’s emotions that were on the verge of breaking down.
Ava, who was interrupted, did not show displeasure. Instead, virtual-novel.net just looked at Raegan calmly.
“Okay, speak.”
Seeing that Ava was not angry, Raegan was silently relieved. She also recomposed herself before speaking.
“Ava, I know that you don’t like what I did back then and what I’ve done now. I don’t want to find excuses for myself because I know I’m the one at fault. But Ava, we’re mother and daughter. You’re my flesh and blood. I’m really reluctant to let go of you forever.”
Raegan’s voice began to sound choked when virtual-novel.net was still speaking. Her eyes gradually became wet and red. “Ava, will you give me a chance to make things up for you?”
Raegan’s tone was careful, almost pleading.
Ava’s hands that were hidden in virtual-novel.net sleeves clenched slowly. She could see the countless hopes and regrets in Raegan’s eyes.
However, virtual-novel.net could not forget Raegan’s heartlessness back then.
“Ava…”
When Ava was silent and did not know how to answer, Daniel appeared at the right time.
“Mrs. Xander, you’re here too.” Daniel greeted Raegan politely.
Raegan also smiled slightly. At the same time, virtual-novel.net felt that the initially rigid atmosphere had been eased a lot. Daniel smiled and held Ava’s hand that was hidden in virtual-novel.net sleeve. When virtual-novel.net felt Ava’s fingers trembling slightly, virtual-novel.net gently intertwined his fingers with hers, giving virtual-novel.net warmth and solid support.
“Mrs. Xander, you probably haven’t eaten yet. Why don’t we go to the restaurant to eat something together?” Daniel asked and looked down at Ava for virtual-novel.net opinion. “Ava, is that okay with you?”
Ava knew that Daniel was trying to create opportunities between the two, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net also respected virtual-novel.net opinions. She did not speak and just nodded lightly in acquiescence.
Seeing Ava’s reaction, Raegan was overjoyed.
She could finally have lunch with Ava, and this time, they did not part ways unhappily like the last time. After lunch, Daniel sent Ava back to the office.
When Daniel sent Ava to virtual-novel.net office, Ava thanked Daniel.
Daniel looked puzzled. “Why are you thanking me? Have you forgotten who I am?”
Ava smiled knowingly. After seeing that there was no one around, virtual-novel.net quickly kissed Daniel’s cheek and immediately turned around to run into the office while blushing.
The sharp-eyed Maisie saw this sweet scene and went back to tease Ava. Ava did not mind it either, so virtual-novel.net magnanimously allowed Maisie to tease her.

Over the next few days, Ava and the rest of the employees found the office to be much quieter because Fiona was detained for a week. A week later, Fiona came to work listlessly. However, as soon as virtual-novel.net entered the office, virtual-novel.net was summoned by the human resources department. After a while, virtual-novel.net came back with a gloomy expression on virtual-novel.net face. She rushed directly in front of Ava.
“Ava, you’re so f*cking ruthless! I was detained for seven days and am left with a criminal record. Now, I don’t even have a job anymore!” Fiona threw the dismissal letter in virtual-novel.net hand at Ava. “You just want to take the position of the design department manager, right? You’re just afraid that I’ll compete with you, right? Are you happy now, you b*tch?”
Fiona raised virtual-novel.net hand in anger and wanted to hit Ava. Right when Ava was about to dodge, Maisie grabbed Fiona’s wrist forcefully.
“Why are you still making a fuss here? I was the one who asked the human resources department to sack you. What qualifications do you have to stay here if you have sticky fingers? It’s even more hilarious for you to mention the position of design department manager. Judging from your work ability, character, and the way you handle things, how can you even compete with Ava? If you don’t want to be even more humiliated, get out!”
