S31 110. Jeremy and Ava’s Closeness

Grimacing, Ava looked up. Seeing a man’s fierce face, her pain was immediately replaced by shock. “Jeremy?”

Gritting his teeth, the man bent down, helping Ava to her feet. After that, his laser gaze pierced the rude woman.

“What right do you have to push Ava like that? She was kind enough. to see you. Instead, you pushed her away? You’re an ungrateful little sister, apparently?”

Eva’s jaw throbbed at the insinuation. “I’m not her little sister. She threw me away herself.”

“Half an hour ago, Ava was still lying in the hospital bed. The doctor hadn’t even allowed her to leave, but she didn’t want to listen. She was more worried about your condition than herself.”

Eva moved her head as if she didn’t care. “Please don’t believe her

charade, Mr. Harper. She’s not the kind girl you think she is.”

“Is that so?” Taking a deep breath, Jeremy turned his head to the le “You should have listened to my advice. There was no point i sacrificing your health to come here”

“Well, well.” Eva glanced at her staffs. “Look at this couple. Aren’t th very romantic? No wonder Ava chose to save him. He is more profitable than me.”

Instantly, the sales girls whispered.

“I never thought Ava would be someone like that. How could she choose other people over her own family? If I were her, I would definitely save my sister.”

“Yeah, what else can she do? The temptation is too great. If she

“But I don’t think the man is her significant other. Maybe they are involved in an affair. Is Ava his mistress? It’s hard to believe that a girl who looks innocent like her actually likes playing in his beds.”

Ava blinked sadly. However, she didn’t want to argue. After looking at Eva from head to toe, she let out a small sigh. “Are you really okay?”

Eva flinched a little, not expecting the question. “Don’t pretend you care.”

“Good then.” Ava nodded before turning to Jeremy. “My business is finished. Let’s get out of here.”

Without saying anything, Jeremy stretched out one hand, inviting Aval to pass the door. Witnessing that polite attitude, the corners of Eva’s lips twitched in disgust.

“How annoying.”

After that, she turned around, entering the private room. There, she fiddled with the phone she had just gotten yesterday.

“They came to my boutique. I was putting on a little show. I don think they suspected anything.”

Seconds after the message was sent, a reply came in. “Good. Stick the plan.”

Eva smiled cynically. “Hypocrites will never be happy in the end. Just
