Married by Mistake â Chapter 2397 Tom nodded lightly. âHave you ever thought that Naya is like this because of her mother?â
âI have.â Ava pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she suddenly felt apologetic again. âIâm sorry, Mr. Lowe. The person Nayaâs mother wants to target is me. I didnât expect to get you involved too.â
âDonât say that. We have clear a conscience, and we canât predict what the next step will be for those with bad intentions. Just be yourself and protect yourself. Thatâll be enough.â
Tomâs answer gave Ava a particularly calm feeling. She indeed had that mindset. She thought that Tom would think that way because he had been in the business world for so long, so he must be used to these boring trifles.
âMr. Lowe, what happened in the office? It sounded like a lot of people were making noise,â Ava asked curiously.
Tom met Avaâs confused gaze with gentle eyes. âThat woman probably hired someone to come cause trouble for you. Iâve already asked someone to deal with it.â Tom said, his expression gradually became solemn.
âAva, I think you should be careful these days. I keep feeling that something might be wrong after seeing Nayaâs mother waiting for you at the door of your apartment that night. Normal people wonât do something so strange.â Tom reminded her kindly.
Ava also thought that Tom was right âI plan to stay at my friendâs house for a while. Itâs better to have someone looking out for me.â
Tom paused slightly. âYou mean your boyfriend Danielâs place?â
âNo,â Ava added. âItâs my good friend, Maddie. You know her as well, Mr. Lowe. Sheâs Jeremyâs wife Eveline, but Iâm used to calling her Maddie.â
After hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Tomâs face.
âRight, Mr. Lowe. Even though you donât mind the rumors and gossip Nayaâs mother is spreading online, I think we still need to clarify things. I donâ t want this to affect the companyâs reputation.â
âDummy, even if everyone thinks Iâm dating you, it wonât affect me and the companyâs reputation. Itâs my private matter whoever I want to date.â
âHowever, malicious comments have already appeared online. Theyâre calling you a third party who forced your way into my and Dannyâs relationship.â Ava looked serious.
Tom could see Avaâs concerns, so he nodded and agreed. âIâll send you back to your friendâs place first, then Iâll make an announcement to clarify things when I get back.â
âYou donât have to go through all the trouble, Mr. Lowe. Iâll be careful.â Ava also did not want to bother Tom to drive her again.
Aside from troubling him, it might also create opportunities for others to gossip. Tom did not force it either. After telling Ava to be careful, he went back to the office to deal with those uninvited guests. After he took care of the matter, he immediately issued an announcement clarifying it, but at this moment, he received a strange call.
It was from an unknown number, but Tom recognized the voice on the other end of the line. It was none other than Esther Mendez, Nayaâs mother.
Esther smiled coldly. âTom, I knew youâd definitely clarify it. I was waiting for you to do so. Then, Iâll take it upon myself to confirm that you two are an adulterous couple!â
Esther hung up the phone after threatening him.
Ava had just arrived at the lobby of Whitman Corporation by car. When she was about to go in to find Madeline, she saw Madeline coming out of the lobby. On the way here, Ava had told Madeline that she was looking for her. Hence, Ava naturally thought that Madeline was here to pick her up. âMaddie, youâre so punctual. I just got here.â
However, Madeline walked up to Ava with a worried look. âAva, have you been able to get into contact with Dan since last night?â
