When Claire Vaughn first saw that photograph, she was taken aback.
Because the photograph was taken at night, Ava had gone to Jace Kingsley’s villa in the evening, and the date of the photograph was right after Ava and Poe got married.
How could this not lead people to overthink it?
Anyone would think twice, especially since Ava Sterling is already the daughter-in-law of The Vaughn Family.
Upon hearing this, Sharon Sheridan’s expression darkened noticeably, yet she did not show displeasure. On the contrary, her deanor turned stern.
In particular, her old eyes beca intensely sharp at that mont.
If before it was just speculation, not very certain, after the last few words from Claire Vaughn, Sharon Sheridan was absolutely sure.
This was not an accident, nor a coincidence; soone did this on purpose.
And the person who did this on purpose was likely Jace Kingsley.
Sharon Sheridan said nothing, but the obvious change in her expression did not escape Claire Vaughn’s notice, and Claire knew this matter was not simple, and her mother realized it too.
Claire Vaughn said, "Although we don’t know why Ava went to Jace’s villa that night, I think it wasn’t as the tabloids say, that Ava and Jace have a romantic relationship."
"I don’t think Ava would do sothing like that."
"After all, compared to Jace, Poe is not inferior, and with The Vaughn Family behind him, Ava wouldn’t dare to make any inappropriate moves."
"There must be so reason behind this."
"Moreover, obviously, Ava and Poe have been married for several months now, but the tabloids say they only photographed Jace without Poe, which clearly shows that the tabloid is lying, or soone set a trap making them say that."
"I believe this matter isn’t as simple as what the tabloid suggests."
Having been in the entertainnt industry for so many years, what sche hasn’t she seen?
After the tabloid said they only followed Jace, she knew the matter was complicated, and she believed her mother knew too.
They don’t do things based on feelings or guesses, but on evidence and facts.
They’re not brainless people, not so easily fooled.
Sharon Sheridan listened to Claire Vaughn, and what Claire said was all she had thought of, her thoughts were moving, and her gaze grew sharper.
Suddenly, she said, "Let see that photo."
"Okay."
Claire Vaughn took out her phone, brought up the photo stored on her phone, and opened it for Sharon Sheridan to see.
"It’s this one."
Claire Vaughn pointed to the image of Ava’s car driving into Jace’s villa, then stopping, opening the door, getting out, and walking into the wide-open gate, at the sa mont Jace appeared.
Sharon Sheridan looked at the photo, at the people in it, Ava’s appearance, Jace’s expression, her eyes moving back and forth between the two, then asked, "Do you have the exact ti?"
"The ti this photo was taken."
Claire Vaughn nodded, "Yes, I specifically asked, it was just last month."
Claire Vaughn spoke, telling Sharon Sheridan the exact date and ti.
Holding the phone, Sharon Sheridan no longer looked at the people in the photo but started to recall.
Then, suddenly, Sharon Sheridan laughed.
Yes, Sharon Sheridan laughed.
Sharon Sheridan laughed instead of getting angry, which stunned Claire Vaughn for a mont.
However, she quickly reacted, asking, "Mom, what’s going on? Why are you laughing?"
Yes, after asking the date and ti, Sharon Sheridan not only didn’t get angry but laughed, and it was a delightful laugh, not one of anger.
Sharon Sheridan handed the phone back to Claire Vaughn and said, "I know what happened that night."
"Oh? You know?"
This really surprised Claire Vaughn.
Could it be that her mother was also at Jace’s villa that night?
Sharon Sheridan knew what her daughter was surprised about, and she also knew what her daughter was thinking, she said, "That night, Ava went to end things with Jace."
"End things?"
"This... how do you know?"
Her mother’s words puzzled Claire Vaughn.
As Sharon Sheridan spoke, she withdrew her gaze, smiling as she continued forward.
Poe followed his mother, seeing her very relaxed manner, and asked, "Mom, what exactly happened?"
He was really curious about what Ava went to do at Jace’s place that night, that mother knew so much.
Sharon Sheridan walked ahead unhurriedly, her smile remained, and her old eyes were bright and energetic.
"That night, Ava drank a lot of alcohol and got sick. I went to Poe’s place and asked about the situation, I heard Ava’s words firsthand."
"Ava always considered Jace as a friend, but she realized Jace’s feelings for her, and also realized it couldn’t go on, so she ended things and decided not to be friends with Jace anymore."
"She was very upset, drank a lot, and even blad Poe for tricking her into marriage, but since that day, she hasn’t had any contact with Jace, no entanglent."
Upon hearing this, Claire Vaughn was completely surprised.
This information was overwhelming, she couldn’t fully accept it all at once.
Especially that last sentence, that Poe tricked Ava into marriage, what was that about?
Claire Vaughn had many questions in her heart, and now with her mother beside her, she naturally didn’t hold back her doubts and directly asked, "Mom, you just ntioned that Poe tricked Ava into marriage, what does that an?"
Regarding Poe Vaughn’s ans of marrying Ava Sterling, Sharon Sheridan hadn’t told anyone.
But now that the scandal has co out, and she’s already talked to Claire about it, so things need to be clarified.
Sharon Sheridan said, "Ava didn’t like Poe at first. Her marriage to Poe was a result of Poe’s tactics."
"Otherwise, Ava might indeed be with Jace today as the report suggested."
Claire Vaughn’s eyes widened imdiately, her footsteps coming to a halt, "Ava doesn’t like Poe?"
"How... how can that be?"
Yes, how could Ava not like Poe Vaughn? He’s exceptional in every way, whether in family background, appearance, education, or his current status, it’s all top-notch, yet soone could not like him?
She must have heard wrong.
Noticing her daughter’s shock and disbelief, Sharon Sheridan stopped, looked at Claire’s incredulous expression, and smiled, "Yes."
"At first, Ava indeed didn’t like Poe; it was Poe who liked Ava."
"This... this..."
"Mom, I... I find it really hard to accept what you said."
In Claire Vaughn’s eyes, Poe Vaughn is perfect, without a single flaw.
He’s very good, such a good person, how is it possible that there’s a woman who wouldn’t like him?
Even Ava Sterling.
Sharon Sheridan understood Claire’s heart, she sighed, "Claire, Ava is different from other girls, you know her family situation, she didn’t grow up in a loving environnt. She’s very cautious and guarded with outsiders, she wouldn’t easily give her heart away."
"It’s true Poe is excellent, extrely so in our eyes, but we must admit that Poe’s temperant isn’t appealing to many girls."
"He doesn’t say sweet words, doesn’t like to smile, and doesn’t know how to woo a girl."
"And yet, he happened to fall for soone like Ava, who entered society early and has been striving in this harsh circle for years. For Ava to like Poe isn’t easy."
"Of course, from what we’ve seen over these few months, Ava is doing much better than at the start; she has genuine feelings for Poe now."
"Although her feelings still don’t compare with Poe’s for Ava, I believe, with heart for heart, Ava will eventually understand Poe’s feelings."
Claire Vaughn opened her mouth but couldn’t find words to speak.
