Chapter 158
Falling for My Contractual Wife
âIn the hotel, a waiter picked it up. Because I know you, I asked the waiter to give it to me. I only bought a belt and two clothes.
Brian brought all the information over the phone to her. âThese are the two clothes and a belt you bought?â
Ava trembled in fear.
She had completely forgotten that his phone had a consumer notification.
Brian looked at her coldly. âI donât need you to return the money. Go pack your things immediately and move back to the Adkins family.â
Tears streamed down Avaâs face. âBrian, I was wrong. I wonât do it again. Donât chase me away.â
Brian turned around and went upstairs. He paused and turned back to look at her. âDo you want your father to pick you up personally?â
Ava did not dare to say anything else. If Marshall came to pick her up, it would be strange if he did not beat her to death.
Ava gritted her teeth and reluctantly went upstairs to pack his things.
Ava packed her things, feeling very aggrieved.
He remained calm despite receiving numerous spending reminders. It wasnât until he found out that she had used his card that he began to lose his temper. She pondered whether he would be equally upset if Grace had been the one spending all that money.
She cursed Grace, labeling her a despicable woman in her heart. Even after sheâs gone, sheâs still being chased out! Sheâs determined to settle this score sooner or later.
Ava returned to the Adkins family with a mournful face. Shannon asked her what happened, but Ava didnât dare speak in front of Marshall. She pulled Shannon to a room upstairs and recounted the whole incident to her.
Shannon glared at her resentfully. âYou asked for it. Itâs good that he didnât suspect that you drugged him. From now on, you better behave yourself.â
Ava said indignantly, âHow can I be obedient? I canât get close to him anymore. It wasnât easy for Louise to leave, and Grace was chased out. Now is the best time for me to take over. If Louise comes back after thinking it through. then I have no chance.â
Shannon rolled her eyes at her. âWith that brain of yours, you still want to be promoted.â
âMom.â Ava shouted. Iâm your daughter.â
âWhatâs the hurry? Iâll think of a way for you. Since you canât stay at his house anymore, go to his company. Iâll discuss it with your father and ask him to think of a way to send you to work at the Francis Group. Just say that youâre going for an internship.
âMom, youâre the smartest. Why didnât I think of that! If I go to work, he has no reason to chase me away.
Shannon knocked on her head. The premise is that you didnât make any mistakes at work. Otherwise, he will still Dreame FREE Installed Open #
Sat, 20 Apr fire you.
âI know. Iâve never seen a mother look down on her daughter like you.â
Ava pursed her lips. âAlright. Hurry up and discuss this with my father.â
Shannon glared at her and turned to leave.
Brian sat in Graceâs room. Her scent was completely gone.
Ever since he realized that the person who had been swiping his card was Ava, her stubborn face kept flashing through his mind.
He felt remorseful for unfairly accusing her.
He wondered about the amount of money she currently possessed and how much more was required for her brotherâs surgery.
Brian found Graceâs number in her contact list. His fingers lingered on her name for a long time before he finally retreated.
After some thought, he called Camren.
âHow much does Carsonâs surgery cost?â
Camren was stunned for two seconds before saying, âMr. Francis, please wait âDidnât I ask you to investigate just now?â
a moment. Iâll check again.â
Camren said awkwardly, âYou just said that you donât care, so I stopped investigating.â
