Lauren.
Ava Sterling saw the caller ID clearly displayed, and she wasn’t surprised at all.
Lauren always had a knack for picking the right ti to call.
It felt like Lauren had installed surveillance on her.
Even though she didn’t want to answer Lauren’s call, Ava knew Lauren must have a reason, so she picked up.
"Hey."
Without any energy from not eating, Ava couldn’t even bring herself to stand; she slumped onto the sofa, completely exhausted.
Lauren originally had sothing urgent to tell Ava, but hearing Ava’s clearly unwell voice stopped her in her tracks.
Lauren’s heart tightened, and she imdiately asked, "Ava, what’s wrong? Are you sick?"
Ava’s expression darkened for a mont: "You’re hoping I’m sick, aren’t you?"
The sudden liveliness in Ava’s voice indicated she was fine, and Lauren breathed a sigh of relief.
Still worried, she asked, "Then why does your voice sound off? Did sothing happen?"
Ava wasn’t the type to shy away from things, but feeling hungry and irritable, she felt like Lauren was hoping for her downfall.
Not dark, but rather somber, Ava’s face turned as she spoke chillingly, "Lauren, are you tired of living?"
Hearing this, with the eerie tone in Ava’s voice, Lauren shuddered and imdiately dared not speak further.
She quickly shook her head, saying, "No, no, I called you because I have sothing to say."
"Yes, I have sothing!"
At this point, rembering her reason for calling Ava, Lauren beca especially serious.
Ava said in a deep voice, "Speak up, now!"
Knowing Ava was in a bad mood, and what she was about to say would worsen it, Lauren nevertheless had to say it.
Even if Ava got angry, she had to speak up.
So, without delay, Lauren quickly explained the reason for her call.
"Ava, you’re aware of yesterday’s advertisent, Omnisphere published it everywhere, responses have been mixed. I’ve been keeping an eye on it, and it’s under control."
"But today, suddenly there are rumors about you and Young Master Kingsley, saying you two are a couple and have been together, even in a passionate relationship."
"This advertisent is the proof."
"Now the entire internet is discussing you and Young Master Kingsley, everyone is shipping you both, and you two have beco the center of attention on the internet."
"In the past, I certainly would have shipped you two, but the current situation doesn’t allow that."
"You’re factually paired with the mogul from Celestial Holdings, and he’s no ordinary person. Now that these rumors about you and Young Master Kingsley are out, who knows what that mogul from Celestial Holdings will think."
"I’m very worried..."
Lauren, without pausing, explained the situation thoroughly, and Ava listened, her whole body tense.
Yes, tense.
However, her mind was racing with thoughts.
In fact, at this mont, her mind was extrely clear, and even her hunger was washed away by Lauren’s anxious words.
Rumors?
Couple?
Passionate relationship?
She and Jace Kingsley?
Ava’s heart thumped, a sensation like a spark seed to sizzle in her mind, as if it could combust at any mont.
What were those dia thinking?
Daring to spread falsehoods about Jace Kingsley?
It’s one thing to fabricate rumors about her, Ava Sterling, but don’t they know who Jace Kingsley is? Such reports can’t be released casually.
No, that’s not it.
Would Jace Kingsley allow the dia to publish such things?
Is he aware of this situation?
This could affect his reputation.
With that thought, Ava sat up straight, spine rigid, expression extrely serious, and said in a deep voice, "Are you saying the whole internet is reporting on my rumored relationship with Jace Kingsley?"
Lauren, having explained the situation, fell silent, feeling anxious and worried inside.
After all, Ava was married, and her partner was Poe Vaughn.
In this situation, for Ava to be rumored with another man, how would Poe Vaughn feel?
Lauren didn’t dare imagine, just feeling afraid.
She feared Poe Vaughn might divorce Ava, which would be bad.
Lauren thought the Vaughn Family was a decent family.
Especially recently, through communication with Poe Vaughn’s assistant because of Ava, Lauren sensed that Poe Vaughn cared about their Ava.
But, n have strong egos.
Having rumors about his own woman with another man, how could he tolerate that?
Moreover, what kind of woman can’t this bigshot find?
If he chose Ava, and she’s set to cuckold him, he surely couldn’t bear it.
Thinking that, Lauren’s heart sank to the valley bottom, not noticing Ava hadn’t responded yet.
Not until Ava’s calm and collected voice ca through the phone did Lauren feel a wave of relief, and she quickly said, "Yes!"
"The entire internet."
"Ava, are you with that mogul now? Does he know about this?"
The news just broke a short while ago, and she originally planned to find a way to suppress it.
But the power of the public can’t be so easily suppressed unless it’s done by Poe Vaughn or Jace Kingsley.
Yet, it seed like Jace Kingsley hadn’t reacted, either unaware of it or sothing else.
And from the Vaughn Family’s side, no one had reacted either.
The news quickly spread throughout the entertainnt industry and climbed to the top on various platforms.
She really couldn’t stop it and had no choice but to call Ava.
To see if the mogul was aware.
She thought, maybe... possibly... they still didn’t know?
After all, that mogul must be very busy.
Hearing Lauren’s words, Ava felt a sudden chill.
Especially the last sentence about whether Poe Vaughn knew, that sent a shiver down her spine, making her panic instantly.
Yes, did Poe Vaughn know?
Although she and Jace Kingsley were completely innocent and had done nothing to wrong Poe Vaughn, what if Poe Vaughn didn’t feel the sa?
Ava knew it well, n can be complicated if they start to have doubts.
And many cris of passion occur when a man can’t figure things out and takes it out on a woman.
That would be unacceptable.
Although Poe Vaughn wouldn’t do anything terrifying at most, he’d divorce her, still, Ava Sterling had not done anything wrong to him.
Ava felt she had to explain it clearly to Poe Vaughn!
Yes, explain clearly!
Explanation needed.
The entire internet was spreading rumors, turning lies into truths.
Ava was too familiar with how the dia worked, a reason why she’d always been at odds with them.
They always talked nonsense, every sentence a falsehood.
Thinking about it, Ava suppressed the chill and tension in her heart, and said in a deep voice, "I understand, you don’t have to worry about it, I know what to do."
Having said that, Ava hung up the call with a snap, a serious look in her eyes, filled with determination and resolve.
She needed to clarify things with Poe Vaughn, and if Poe Vaughn couldn’t accept it and wanted a divorce, then so be it!
After all, Ava Sterling hadn’t done anything to betray Poe Vaughn.
With that thought, Ava picked up her phone and dialed Poe Vaughn’s number quickly.
She intended to call him to ask where he was.
However, just as her finger was about to dial, the door clicked open.
