A Lifetime With You Chapter 152


    Chapter 152


    Ava nodded. The staff here might not know, but she very well did! Of course, Dempsey and Damien


    had nothing to do with each other! Dempsey was a grown woman, so it waspletely normal for her


    to have a boyfriend! “The most important thing isn’t the gossip itself, but the person who is spreading


    the gossip!” Lue exined when she noticed that Ava didn’t understand what she was trying to say.


    “What do you mean?” “The one who leaked the news first was an employee in the Secretarial


    Department, who also happens to be the CEO’s confidant. In other words, it’s the boss’s order to clear


    up the scandal for Dempsey!”


    “Of course, because it was getting out of hand and he wanted to clear his own name. Isn’t that normal,


    though?” Ava was still confused.


    “Miss Nagel, don’t you get it? With our boss’s status, how many rumors have circted around him


    throughout these years? When have you ever seen him deal with them? This time, he dismissed not


    only the people in our department, but also personally avenged Dempsey. Can’t you see that


    Dempsey’s position in his heart is different?” “Well… Dempsey is his confidant, so of course he would


    treat her differently!” Then, Lue poked Ava in the forehead and said, “Miss Nagel, should I say that


    you’re dumb or just too kind? The CEO is so kind to Dempsey… but aren’t you jealous at all?” “What’s


    there to be jealous of? …have nothing to do with him.” Ava opened up the files on her table with a


    nonchnt face and pretended to work. Lue was rendered speechless before she sighed and said,


    “Keep on being stubborn then! Don’te crying to me when something happens!” Ava didn’t say a


    word and pretended not to hear anything. As she stared at the words in the documents, nothing


    seemed to be entering her mind at all.


    Dempsey… She tried her best not to let her imagination run wild. However, even if she was rational


    enough to control herself, it was still hard for her to calm down. Who knew if there really was something


    happening that she didn’t know about? As soon as she thought of Damien’s cold attitude over the past


    few days, she felt ufortable. Did Dempsey ever receive such cold treatment from him over the


    years? To be able to work so long under Damien’s strange temper, Dempsey must be really capable


    indeed.


    Then, she took out the envelope she had picked up from Dempsey and opened it quietly when no one


    was watching her. There were about a dozen pictures, all of which were secretly taken. There were


    photos of when she and Lue were setting up tents, pictures of her sitting beside the barbecue stand


    and eating the food. There was also one candid photo of her smiling at the camera!


    Why would Damien have these photos? Could it be that he was the one who secretly took these? Ava


    shook her head quickly. How could it be? Damien was most definitely not that kind of man! However,


    what was with these photos? He even asked Dempsey to print them out… The more she thought, the


    more chaotic her mind became. Ava really couldn’t figure out what that man was really thinking! When


    they left work that day, Damien still didn’te with her. Hence, she could only take a taxi back by


    herself. When she returned home, Damien had note back yet and there was no sign of Jean too.


    Only the butler stood at the gate of the vi and he was pacing around anxio “Miss, you’re finally back!


    Where’s Mr. Radbury?” The butler hurriedly went up to her and asked. “I don’t know where he is.” Ava


    answered coldly. The butler became increasingly anxious. “What do I do? Miss, Madam Adaly came


    over just now and as soon as Jean came home from school, she took him away!” “What?” “She said…


    that she would take the boy to live in their family house for a few days! But from what I saw…”


    The butler was so frightened that it was obvious enough she didn’t n for Jean to stay for just a few


    days!


    Ava was anxious when she heard this. Jean had been taken away by Karen, plus her rtionship with


    Damien was so stiff now. It was only a matter of time before she was driven out of the Radbury family.


    Wouldn’t that mean that she would never see her child again?


    Perhaps this was what Damien nned all along!


    No, she would never allow such a thing to happen!


    Hence, Ava did not have time to think and she rushed outside immediately.


    She quickly made her way to the Radbury family’s residence. At this moment, Jean was in a nursery


    specially decorated by Karen herself. He was currently ying toys with her. “Grandma, mommy and


    daddy don’t know I’m here, so they might be worried. I’d better go home quickly.” Jean said to Karen.


    “Don’t worry, dear. This is also your home! Your father wouldn’t possibly stop you froming!”


    However, Jean was still a little anxious. Although the toys that his grandmother bought for him were


    very interesting, he still couldn’t calm down and enjoy himselfpletely.


    At that moment, a servant rushed to Karen’s side and whispered in her ear, “Madam, Miss is here.”


    “Well, she’s fast.” Karen snorted. “What about Damien?” “He didn’te with her. She’s here for Jean.”


    “Hmph!”


    Karen scoffed coldly and told Jean to y alone for a while. After that, she got up to meet her

    daughter-inw. Meanwhile, Ava was waiting at the door of the house. She was panicked and anxious!


    As soon as she saw Karen, she immediately rushed inside. “Where is Jean? What have you done to


    him?” “Ava, are you out of your mind? Who are you to barge in and raise your voice at me?” Karen


    sneered. Ava quickly softened her tone and asked respectfully, “Mom, I am here to pick up Jean.”


    “Jean will be staying with me for a few days. Don’t worry, he’s my dear grandson, so I won’t harm him.


    You don’t have to rush here like I kidnapped him.”


    “But…” “Okay, I have better things to do. If there’s nothing else, go home then.” Karen did not give Ava


    a chance to refute her words, and she asked the servants to send Ava off. However, Ava stood at the


    door, unwilling to leave.


    The house was so big, and she didn’t know where Karen had hidden her child. Thus, she had no


    choice but to plead.


    “Mom, Jean is still young and he can’t leave me. Please… please let me take him back for Damien’s


    sake!”


    “Don’t try to use Damien as an excuse this time. He’s my son! Do you think he would really listen to


    whatever you say?” Ava bit her lower lip tightly. Of course, Damien wouldn’t be doing what she wanted!


    That was why she came in such a hurry to bring back her son! Seeing that she was not willing to leave,


    Karen said angrily, “What’s wrong? Are you not going to leave? Are you waiting for an invitation to stay


    for dinner or what?” “I just want my son back.” “Ava Nagel, cut the crap. Don’t cross the line.” Karen’s


    dislike for her was clearly felt by Ava the first time she ever met this olddy. Although Ava couldn’t


    remember what happened between her and Karen, she knew their rtionship must have never been


    pleasant.
