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''sst words. Her eyebrows rose cynically. “What do you mean, Sir? Do | always hurt Ava all this
time?”
Before Jeremy had time to answer, Eva snorted in annoyance. Her eyes nced at her mother as if asking for help.
“Mom, what should | do? Ava has seeded 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 viin.”
Hearing theint, 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 Isab.
“Mr. Harper,” Mrs. Connor''s voice caught everyone''s attention, “please don’t make me a rude parent. | 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. | have failed to make my two daughters get along. Even up to this moment, the two of them can''t live in
harmony together. | don''t know what Ava’s version of the story is, but | hope you don’t immediately believe it.”
Jeremy''s eyebrows knitted together. He nced 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 | 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. | 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, | doubt you two can be together.”
Jeremy blinked stiffly. He could feel the hand in his grip bing colder.
“Thank you for caring about my life choices. But sorry, | remain with the same decision. My determination to marry Ava is made
up. | believe that the Ava | know is the real Ava.”
While Eva rolled her eyes, Jeremy stroked Ava’s back. His lips now curved slightly, reminding her that everything would be fine.
“Now that we have conveyed our wedding ns, there is nothing. more we need to discuss. So, excuse us. Ava and | need to
discuss further about the date and other details. | want to marry her as soon
as possible.”
Ava didn’t add any words at all. She just smiled a little, turning around to follow the arm around her waist.
Even so, Eva found her haughty. She felt that Ava had the upper hand. Unconsciously, her shoulders rose and fell, matching the
roar of her breath.
“Eva, are you okay? Don''t be intimidated by your sister. Mister Harper is smart. He can’t possibly be fooled by Ava. Let''s just wait
for further news. They will definitely cancel the n.”

Eva tried to smile in front of her mother. However, her heart was too bitter. “Mom, | want to call my employees. | have to make
sure they run the boutique properly.”
Mrs. Connor nodded. Eva rushed to find a safe ce to call. There, she spilled everything to Patricia.
“I really can''t understand it, Madam. How could someone of Jeremy''s ss possibly fall in love with Ava? How great is she?
Even |, who am much better than her, couldn''t get a man that rich.”
Patricia''sughter sounded light. “You don’t know the Harper family, apparently. Look at how Frank rejected my daughter. He
prefers a vige girl like his wife to the daughter of the most sessful businessman in the world. Does it make sense?”
“Then what should we do, Madam? can’t wait to get into action. Ava is too arrogant. She deserves a lesson. Should we target
that stupid
future husband of hers?”
“Be patient, Darling. Don’t rush. Wait for my signal. Don''t act alone, understand?”
“But | can''t just keep quiet, Madam. | can''t let those two people be happy. If Ava marries him, | can’t imagine what will happen to
me. She will definitely continue to brag about her new status, her husband, her wealth. | won''t stand it.”
Eva clutched her own hair. Her face grimaced in despair. However, Patricia justughed lightly.
“I told you, be patient. There will be the right time for you to turn things around. Be patient, okay? Continue your role. Don’t lose
ess to get in and out of the fort.”
Ava sighed in resignation. “Okay. Please don''t take too long. If possible, give me orders before their wedding day.”
+25 BONUS
“Oh, don’t worry. | won''t dy for long. Aren''t two people in their family going to get married soon?”
Eva''s eyes narrowed. “You intend to ruin their wedding?” Her tone was doubtful.
Once again, Patricia''sughter echoed. “You''ll find out soon, Darling. What''s clear is that there will be a stir at their event.”

After a moment of silence, Emily finally opened a sketchbook. When she grabbed a pencil, Louis widened his eyes. “Didn''t you
say you weren''t focused?”
“Yeah, but | don’t want to waste any time.”
Louis turned in his seat to face his younger sister. “Do you remember Mommy''s message? We shouldn''t force ourselves, Emily.
We work here just to fill our free time. We have to enjoy it as if we were ying and learning at the same time.”
“I know. But, even though I''m still so young, | want to remain professional. Go back to your room, Louis. Do what you can do. |

want to try to concentrate.”
Louis’ cheeks puffed up. He didn’t want to turn on hisputer.
“Emily, do you think Philip and Auntie’s wedding will go smoothly?”
The little girl stopped the pencil’s tip from touching the paper. “Why do you ask that?”
“I don’t know. I just thought of Mrs. Moore. She hadn''t been heard from for a long time. That was strange. In fact, she was
determined to get revenge. She’s a scary witch.”
Emily pouted. “Louis, don''t scare me. Daddy has promised to make sure everything is fine. So, the party will definitely go
smoothly.”
Suddenly, their smart watch beeped twice. Seeing the iing message, the twins widened their eyes.
“Why did Daddy call us?”
Louis shrugged. “Let''s hurry to his room. Maybe there is an important
task for us.”
