Chapter 335 He Found Ava to Be Unlikable

Chloe instinctively tilted her head slightly and said, “Be careful. If things don’t go well, we’ll make a run

for it.”

Observing Joseph’s unwavering determination, Calvin summoned a group of burly bodyguards who

menacingly closed in.

Joseph’s clenched fist displayed prominent veins, his back slightly arched like a poised leopard, ready

to sink his teeth into his enemies’ flesh at any moment.

Calvin barked out an order, “Teach him a lesson.”

With those words, one of the bodyguards lunged at Joseph.

A resounding “thud” echoed through the air as Joseph swiftly and forcefully kicked the assailant,

sending him crashing into the bathroom door, which recoiled like a tightly coiled spring, producing a

loud, reverberating sound.

An eerie silence fell upon the hallway, with Calvin and the others remaining silent and still.

Furious, Ava berated, “What are you all standing there for?! Get him!”

More individuals swiftly joined the assault against Joseph.

One, two, three….

Chloe anxiously observed the unfolding chaos, and in a critical moment, her eyes locked onto a young

man descending the stairs. She urgently cried out, “Noah, please help us!”

Noah followed the voice and his face sank. Without a word, he forcefully intervened to put an end to the

commotion. “What do you think you’re doing, Uncle Calvin?” he questioned, his tone filled with

accusation.

Calvin pulled Noah to a corner. His anger was palpable as he said, “Joseph just allows Chloe to bully

Ava. How can I let them off the hook so easily?”

“Have you forgotten who nearly ruined your business?”

“This isn’t Aesper. If no one finds out, it’ll be as if it never happened. What’s wrong with teaching

Joseph a lesson?” Calvin’s voice lowered, his eyes turning red. “You know about what happened to

Ava when Joseph took her to that bar, don’t you? Aren’t you concerned for Ava?”

Noah’s gaze involuntarily shifted toward Chloe. Strangely, he felt a stronger sense of empathy for her

than for Ava. After all, there was something about Ava that he found unlikeable.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you want to stand up for Ava?” Calvin asked again.

“Uncle Calvin, you may have made a mistake,” Noah said, staring at Calvin.

Calvin was momentarily taken aback. “What do you mean?”

“Simply put, Ava may not be Aunt Luciana’s daughter.”

“That’s impossible. When I first met her, she was wearing a diamond necklace that Mr.

Desmond made for Luciana Only Luciana could have had it.”

“It’s indeed a genuine piece, but Aunt Luciana might have taken more than just that piece of jewelry

with her.”

Calvin’s lips trembled. “What are you trying to say here?”

“This month, among the jewelry that we recovered, I found another piece that might have been sold by

Aunt Luciana a long time ago.

Calvin’s body swayed. He found it hard to believe.

Noah lowered his voice and continued, “If you want to confirm whether or not Ava is truly Aunt

Luciana’s daughter, ask her a few simple questions about her mother. As her daughter, she couldn’t

possibly know nothing about her biological mother.”

Enchanting piano music filled the air, its harmonious notes resonating throughout the building as the

dozen or so bodyguards withdrew, leaving behind one severely injured bodyguard who had to be

carried off the scene Calvin led Ava upstairs and promptly shut the door tightly For some unknown

reason, Ava inexplicably felt that Calvin’s affection for her had suddenly diminished.

“Coco, are you hurt? Do you need me to call you a doctor?” Noah looked at Chloe concernedly.

“I’m fine,” Chloe shook her head and glanced at Joseph from head to toe before adding, “He’s fine too.”

“That’s good.”

“I need to use the restroom.”

After speaking, she turned and entered the restroom. She looked pretty terrible. Her perfectly fine dress

had been ruined, and it pained her.

Joseph’s gaze turned icy as he observed Noah. Though he wore a smile, there was no warmth in his

eyes. “You two seem pretty close.”

During their last encounter at the exhibition, Noah had addressed Chloe as “Miss Chloe,” but now, it

had changed to Coco.
