A Lifetime With You

Chapter 140

Chapter 140
“Mum, your dress is dirty. I’ll ask Dempsey to send you back to change your clothes.” Damien was hinting for his mother to leave. Dempsey quickly came in and helped Karen to clean up the spillage. Then, she used a napkin to wipe the edge of her skirt that had been stained with soup. Karen tugged her skirt in annoyance and looked at Ava with a strange expression.
Ava didn’t know what she was trying to do. Therefore, she could only stand there motionless. “I’ll explain it to you next time.” After that, Damien immediately ordered Dempsey to escort his mother out.
After Karen left, Damien lowered his head and looked at the mess on the floor.
“What a pity of this tasty soup.” Damien’s tone was rather regretful, “Although my mum has a bad temper, her cooking skills aren’t bad. If the soup isn’t spilled, I’d like to have you try it.” “Humph, that was specially made for Enrico. She was just giving you some incidentally.” “So what I’m trying to say is, you are the only one who can stand on my side among the entire Radbury family.”
He raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on her.
Ava was stunned.

She had heard some rumors while she was gossiping with Luella, and she had come to know that even though Damien was appointed as Radbury Group’s CEO, the chairman, and the chairwoman had always favored their youngest son instead of him. Although Damien was the one responsible for Radbury Group’s exceptional success, his parents still gave Enrico a big portion of the company’s shares. She never thought much about it in the past. However, that bowl of soup was enough to explain everything.
No wonder he kept emphasized the fact that she wasn’t allowed to stand on Enrico’s side.
However, she didn’t have anything at all. So, would her stance even make a difference? “Damien Radbury, don’t try to change the topic. In conclusion, I want to resign!” Ava tried to stand up strong for herself.
Meanwhile, he curled his lips and smirked, “My mum knows about your existence now. What do you .think will happen if she knows about Jean?” After all, Jean was the only grandson of the Radbury family. If he was discovered by Karen, she would definitely take him away from her. At the thought of this, Ava took a deep breath and said, “You want to threaten me with Jean?” “The only way to protect him is to stay by my side.” “You? Aren’t you also planning to take him away?” She took a cautious step back.
He grazed his forehead helplessly and said, “I’m indeed a scheming man, but the person who I’m planning to take away is you.”
Eventually, Ava failed to resign from the company. Except for Damien, no one in the company knew about her thought of resignation. She had no choice but to continue to stay in Radbury Group. Although Damien had gone too far when he tried to threaten her, he wasn’t wrong. She could never let Karen know about Jean’s existence! And the only person she could rely on was Damien. Two days later, Ava attended the team-building event in conjunction with the company’s anniversary celebration. The Administrative Department didn’t have many people, so they had always conducted activities with the other departments. However, they were collaborating with people from the secretarial department this time. What was even more surprising was that the President actually attended the event? “What’s going on? I heard that the President never took part in any staff activities before!” And this had caused a widespread discussion among the employees. Ava followed behind them with mixed emotions. Perhaps Damien showed up personally for her?
But would he really do that? “Miss Nagel, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you get in the car?” Luella asked. She followed the queue and got on the bus. However, there only a few empty seats left.
And Damien wasn’t present on the bus.
“Didn’t they say that the President would be coming with his secretary? But where’s him?” She asked Luella.
“Of course, he’s coming. But how could you expect the mighty President to squeeze with us in this tiny bus? He has already left with Dempsey in his luxury sports car.”
Ava nodded in realization.
