Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 113. Afraid of Losing You

As Ava left, Mrs. Connor looked away. She didn’t want to look at Jeremy. However, Jeremy still faced her. His expression was so firm. His hands were clenched into fists.

“Ava is your biological daughter, but why do you treat her like someone else’s daughter? Don’t you feel sorry for her?”

Instead of feeling insulted, Mrs. Connor raised her chin. “I’m just being objective. It doesn’t matter if she’s my daughter or not, if she’s wrong, she’s still guilty. She must be reprimanded and taught a lesson. She must stop embarrassing her family.”

“But, your accusations against her are not true. She is innocent.”

Mrs. Connor snorted in disgust. “Don’t defend her. That just makes me even more convinced that you two are in an unhealthy

relationship.”

“I’m not defending her. I’m just telling the truth.”

Suddenly, her finger rose in front of her face. “Don’t think that you have paid for my care, you can do whatever you want. Ava is my daughter. It is my duty to educate her. You have no right to interfere.”

Jeremy let out a faint sigh. He realized that the woman he was facing was too stubborn.

“I don’t mind if you hate me, but please don’t be too hard on Ava. She loves you with all her heart. She deserves much better treatment than this.”

“You dare advise me? You guys are the ones who commit sins, but instead, accuse other people of being guilty?” Mrs. Connor raised an eyebrow.

“I’m just reminding you. If you keep being like this, you’ll have a hard time bearing the guilt when the truth comes out. Now if you’ll excuse me. Sorry for disturbing your rest.”

Jeremy turned around, hurrying away. He had to follow Ava. That girl definitely needed a shoulder to lean on. As per Vivian and the twins’ suggestion, he should be the one to provide it.

Unfortunately, when he managed to find Ava, someone else had already taken action. The new nurse was holding Ava’s shoulders. His body bent, trying to level his gaze with Ava.

“What’s wrong, Ava? What’s bothering you? Is there anything I can help you with?” Bryan whispered, looking at Ava with pity. Concern was etched into his eyebrows.
