S31 121. Opposing Eval


    Ava suddenly stopped. Her jaw throbbed with annoyance.


    “You said you didn’te with threats?” She turned around with


    furrowed brows. “Do you realize what you''re doing? You''re threatening


    me.”


    Eva smiled slyly. “I''m not threatening you, Ava. | just tell you what will happen next if you still insist on not letting me in.”


    “I will exin to Mom that this is Mr. Harper''s order.”


    “Do you think she cares?” Eva raised an eyebrow. Her tone was challenging. “What she wants is to meet me. She will definitely


    be very disappointed when she finds out you are against her wishes.”


    While Ava gritted her teeth, Eva brought her head closer until it almost touched the gap in the gate. She was like a prisoner


    lurking outside.


    “You said you don''t care if she hates you, but what about her health? You still want to be filial to her, right? Then, let''s open the


    door.”


    Tears began to appear in Ava’''s eyes. She hated the truth that Eva said. Why does her sister always find her weak point?


    “Is that really your intention? You want toe in to visit her?”


    Eva shrugged her shoulders lightly. “Sure. What else?”


    “Then show me your wrist.”


    The curve of Eva''s lips froze. Seeing that, Ava stepped forward again.


    “Roll up your sleeves. Show your wrists. If there are no rope marks on them, you cane in.”


    Eva''s eyes widened. Her expression was hard to describe. “Why do

    you think | have that kind of scar?”


    “Come on, show me,” Ava insisted.


    Eva pressed her lips with her chin. Then, with a hesitant movement, she began to roll up the sleeves of her long shirt.


    Seeing there was nothing there, Ava gasped. Her brain was frozen and her body was stiff. “Why is there no rope mark on her


    hands? Wasn''t she really kidnapped?” Ava thought, surprised.


    “See?” Eva threw her hands back and forth. “I always take care of my skin. It''s impossible for scars painted on my body.”


    Ava blinked awkwardly. Her mind was stuck. In fact, she was one hundred percent sure of her guess.


    “Don''t tell me you suspect that | was kidnapped and coborated with your enemy. What''s her name? Sophia Moore? Patricia


    Moore?”


    Ava pursed her mouth. Seeing that helpless expression, Eva snorted a


    smile.


    “You don''t think I''m that evil, do you? I couldn''t possibly sacrifice anyone else for my safety, Ava. So now, open the gate.”


    Ava took a deep breath. Her fists were shaking.


    “Come on! You said it yourself, | cane in if there are no scars on my wrist.”


    “Okay!”


    Everyone blinked. Eva''s eyebrows rose. The guards’ gazes focused on Ava. “But, Miss-"


    Ava turned her head with a firm expression. “It''s okay. Examine her ording to your protocol. If she passes it, she won''t be able


    to harm. us.”

    The bodyguards exchanged nces. However, the gate guard had moved, allowing Eva to pass.


    “Isn''t this too much? Even airport checks aren''t this strict,” Eva


    grumbled when a man searched her bag.


    “Why? Are you afraid? If you have no evil intentions, you shouldn''tin.”


    Eva sighed in annoyance. When she got her bag back, she immediately stepped inside.


    “Sorry to increase your workload, but please stay alert. If she acts up, just knock her down. And please don''t tell Jeremy. | want


    to prove


    that | can handle my problems with confidence.”


    The guards nodded. Then, with full alertness, they walked on Ava’s left and right.


    “Mom!”


    Eva burst in without knocking. Brian, who was chewing his food, almost choked. The middle-aged woman, who was almost


    asleep, immediately gasped. However, seeing her beloved daughter, her face instantly turned bright. “Eva!”


    She tried to get out of bed. When she managed to straighten up, Eval had hugged her tightly.


    “Mom, sorry | camete. Ava forbade me toe in earlier. | had to beg first before she opened the gate.”


    Mrs. Connor cupped Eva''s sullen face. Her brows furrowed in pity. ” Oh, poor you. | don’t know what''s wrong with your sister. |


    will


    reprimand herter.”


    Eva nodded as if helpless. “Please tell her that | never meant any harm. She has to stop using me. I''m tired of being pushed


    into a

    corner all the time.”


    Mrs. Connor stroked Eva''s head while forcing a smile. “Yes, | will tell herter. Now, how are you? Did she push you very hard?


    Is anything hurt?”


    While her mother looked up and down, checking her condition, Eval pouted.


    “She’s really heartless, Mom. Even after | fell down, she still scolded me. She didn’t ept meining to you. In fact, | only


    told her the truth. I''m an honest girl who can''t lie.”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    While the man was packing up his lunch box, Ava whispered, “Thank


    you.”


    Bryan shrugged. “It''s not a big deal, Ava. Call me if you need anything.”


    As the man left, Ava turned around. Eva turned out to have been waiting for him with a suspicious look. “Who is that man? Is he


    your other lover?”


    Before Ava had time to answer, her sister spoke again. “You know what, Mom? Ava said Mr. Harper intended to marry her. Does


    it make sense? | don''t think so. | mean, look at her.”


    Eva''s hand rose to point to her sister. “What positive points does Mr.


    +25 BONUS


    Harper see in her? Mr. Harper is a distinguished man. He must have met many women of his level. It''s impossible for him to


    choose Ava over them.”


    “Is that true?” Mrs. Connor nced at her biological daughter. “How


    did he propose to you?”


    Ava blinked stiffly. She couldn''t possibly answer if Jeremy only expressed his determination through words.


    “He hasn''t proposed to you yet? Then why did you tell Eva that he wants to marry you? Do you intend to make your sister


    jealous?”


    Ava quickly lifted her chin, remembering prohibition number two. Jeremy is a straightforward man. So, when he confessed his


    love to me, he immediately asked me to marry him.”


    Eva burst outughing. Covering her mouth, she turned to her mother. “Mom, did you hear that? Ava hasn''t been proposed yet,


    but she’s very sure that they will get married. If she continues to brag like this, I''m embarrassed for the people who hear. They


    will definitely think that our family is delusional and money-minded.”


    Mrs. Connor sighed worriedly. The look in her eyes that was fixed on Ava seemed disappointed.


    “Can you stop causing trouble, Ava? I''m tired of advising you. Stop making fun of our family. Don’t continue your imagination or


    your illicit rtionship with that man. It''s not toote for you to get back on the right track.”


    Even though she had been prepared for that kind of response, Ava’s heart still ached. Overwhelmed by the pain, her breath


    began to


    rumble.


    “It''s not just imagination, Mom. Mister Harper and | really love each other. We n to get married after getting your blessing.”
