S3 123. Roasted with Jealousy

The air in Eva’s lungs rumbled. Her heart was hot, roasted with jealousy. How could Ava possibly get a man as perfect as Jeremy Harper? She felt that the world was really unfair.

“Again?” She repeated Jeremy’s last words. Her eyebrows rose cynically. “What do you mean, Sir? Do I always hurt Ava all this time?”

Before Jeremy had time to answer, Eva snorted in annoyance. Her eyes glanced at her mother as if asking for help.

“Mom, what should I do? Ava has succeeded in turning the truth around. While in fact, you knew that she was the one who hurt me. No wonder Mr. Harper took her heart and sided with her. She made Mr. Harper feel sorry for her by making me the villain.”

Hearing the complaint, Jeremy’s eyes opened wider. He could not believe Eva’s tenacity in bringing down Ava. The girl turned out to be many times worse than the old Barbara or even Isabela.

“Mr. Harper,” Mrs. Connor’s voice caught everyone’s attention, “please don’t make me a rude parent. I am very grateful that you have facilitated all my care. But this misunderstanding needs to be cleared up.”

With a look of pity, the middle-aged woman stroked Eva’s hair.

“I’m not a perfect mother. I have failed to make my two daughters get along. Even up to this moment, the two of them can’t live in harmony together. I don’t know what Ava’s version of the story is, but I hope you don’t immediately believe it.”

Jeremy’s eyebrows knitted together. He glanced at Ava. The girl shook her head faintly. He understood what she meant. The mother’s thoughts were indeed beyond saving.

“So, from your point of view, Ava is at fault?”

“She always disturbs Eva’s peace. She never gets tired of cornering her and making her jealous. Eva is hot my biological daughter, but I always remind Ava to think of her as part of our family.”

With a helpless face, Mrs. Connor’s gaze began to wander.

“I’m not saying this to badmouth my own daughter. I just don’t want you to be disappointed when you find out Ava’s true nature.

Therefore, please think again about your decision. Whether it’s an act or not, I doubt you two can be together.”
