Chapter 15
Gabriel looked expressionless.
He said, “It’s just a name. Just call him Mr. Smith”
At least it sounded pleasing to his ears
Ava accepted Gabriel’s advice and said, “Mr. Smith, I shall go now. Gabe, thank you”
Ava spoke and then headed into the house.
Her figure was slender and statuesque.
Joshua observed Gabriel, scrutinizing him from head to for
“Well, don’t tell me that you’re into hert”
Gabriel said calmly. “What are you thinking! She is too young for me!”
Joshua let out a gentle laugh.
“So, you mean, you’ll ask her out if she is old enough now!” Joshua joked…
Gabriel cast a cold gaze at Joshua.
“That’s not what I said.”
Ava entered the villa, and as the maids saw her, their faces momentarily changed.
Soon after, someone hurriedly ran off.
Ava felt a bit weird but dismissed it
She reached the main house and was about to ascend the stone steps when Melissa voice rang out nonchalantly. “Stop there! What kind of place do you think the Walker family ist It’s not somewhere that you can come and go as you please!”
Melissa stood on the two–step high stairs, peering down at Ava from above.
Ava lifted her gare and looked at Melissa, her eyes indifferent and devoid of fear
“Do you think I want to come here? Wasn’t that you who implored me to come here! Didn’t you bring me back because I have a rare blood type?”
Ava retorted slowly
After enduring so much in her previous life, in this life, she would not hold back her anger and submit to humiliation.
Melissa was momentarily at a loss for words
It was true that retrieving Ava had originally served such a purpose.
Yet, being bluntly exposed by Ava really made her feel embarrassed
Melissa swiftly descended the steps, raised her hand, and was about to deliver a slap to Ava
In her p
previous life, Ava had endured numerous slaps
However, this time, anyone who dared to lay a finger on her would face dire consequences
Before Melissa’s hand could touch her face, Awa stepped forward and firmly grasped Melissa’s hand, increasing the pressure.
Melissa could only feel her wrist being squeezed to the point of agony,
Ava approached abruptly. Her voice was icy cold, and the palpable hatred in her eyes was so clear and alarming
It wasn’t the way that a daughter would look at her mother. Instead, Ava looked at Melissa as if Melissa was her enemy.
you should see if you have the ability first!” Ava said coldly.
“Wanna slap me, huh? Well, you
“It hurts! Ava, release met You bitch, how dare you do this to me!”
Melissa’s hand was squeezed so hard that she felt like the bones were on the verge of sluttering.

Yet, she ultimately relinquished her grip on Melissa’s hand.
The game had just begun, and ending it so abruptly wouldn’t be enjoyable.
Besides, Ava still harbored a desire to discover her biological parents.
Having been granted a second chance at life, she was determined to live as she desired.
It wasn’t worthwhile to risk her life for these stupid people!
As Ava released her grip, Melissa’s legs turned weak, and she promptly sat down on the steps,
A vivid ring of red marks encircled her wrist, looking very shocking.
Sophia rushed over, exclaiming, “Mom, what happened? Ava, how could you do this to Mom!”
Her eyes welled with tears, looking very pathetic and vulnerable, yet there was still gentleness in her sorrowful accusation.
At that moment, a sharp clap resounded, and joshua’s voice dripped with mockery. “Ah, what a good show!”
Ava turned around and was startled by Gabriel and Joshua’s presence. Why did they come here!
Why did they come here? They came to support you, perhaps?
