Madeline and Ava stopped in their tracks at the same time. They looked at each other, then at the door with a wary look in their eyes.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang again.
Madeline walked to the door, and through the peephole, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar face.
“Tom?” Madeline turned back. “It’s Tom.”
“Mr. Lowe?” Ava was also quite surprised. ‘Didn’t Tom just leave? Why is virtual-novel.net back again?’
Ava thought to herself before opening the door.
Tom was about to speak, but when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline there, virtual-novel.net was a little surprised. “Mrs. Whitman, you’re here too? Since there’s someone to accompany Ava, then as virtual-novel.net boss, I can feel relieved.”
He said and handed Ava the bag virtual-novel.net was holding. “I thought you wouldn’t have eaten yet, but it might be dangerous if you go out or order takeout. Hence, I bought you something to eat at a nearby restaurant.”
Tom’s thoughtfulness warmed Madeline and Ava.
“Thank you, Mr. Lowe, but I’m planning to go back to Maddie’s house. There are a lot of people in virtual-novel.net house, and virtual-novel.net also has bodyguards there. Even if someone really wants to hurt me, it won’t be that easy.”
“That’s good. I don’t want such an excellent employee to be hurt. Besides, you’re also a good friend of Maisie.” Tom smiled slightly, then very thoughtfully walked Madeline and Ava to the car.
When Madeline’s car drove far away, Tom left without any worries.
After returning to Old Whitman Manor, Jeremy found the incident very strange when virtual-novel.net learned what had happened to Ava.
“Naya seems to have expected that you’d go to the hospital to look for her, so virtual-novel.net prepared the camera in advance. When you decided to trigger virtual-novel.net with psychological methods, virtual-novel.net deliberately pretended to be innocent and pitiful so that virtual-novel.net could post the video online to gain pity.
“I think Naya was also the one who filmed the scene of you slapping virtual-novel.net mother. Judging from the angle, virtual-novel.net must’ve been standing at the door of the ward.”
Jeremy analyzed slowly, then watched the video that was still trending online two more times.
Despite Raegan spending money to remove the trending searches, the video was still everywhere. The netizens continued to hurl abuse on Ava’s profile.
“I didn’t expect Naya to have made so many preparations in advance. Great, everyone online thinks that you’re constantly bullying Naya and that you even forced virtual-novel.net to attempt suicide. Aside from that, you even slapped virtual-novel.net mother in public.”
Madeline furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows, but when virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net saw Ava smiling at virtual-novel.net mysteriously.
“Ava, do you really not care about what’s happening on the internet?”
Ava smiled and shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’d be lying if I said I don’t mind. It’s just that I saw how Naya’s so-called suicide note was published on the internet, which incited netizens to start criticizing you. That’s why I went to the hospital to look for virtual-novel.net and provoke virtual-novel.net to reveal virtual-novel.net true nature, but I didn’t think that virtual-novel.net was already prepared to play the role of a two- sided b*tch until the very end. However, virtual-novel.net probably has no idea that I also went there prepared.”
Madeline looked at the confident smile on Ava’s face and suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
“Ava, you mean…”
“It’s exactly what you think.” Ava picked up virtual-novel.net phone with a smile, opened one of the videos, and finally handed it to Madeline.
Jeremy also leaned over to Madeline’s side and looked down. He did not expect to see such a clear and more complete video than the one on the internet.
“Ava, so, you were also…”
“Yeah, how could I go meet such an insidious woman unprepared?” Ava leaned back on the sofa. “We’ll just let those netizens continue to kick up a fuss and scold me for bullying Naya and virtual-novel.net mother. When the time comes, they’ll know who’s the true bully.”
Ava was confident, and virtual-novel.net did not seem to be worried at all. Madeline figured that Ava’s lack of worry was because virtual-novel.net had a clear conscience.
