Chapter 2185
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âOh, itâs a blessing for us that Dan is able to marry such a good girl like you, Naya.â Danielâs mother kept praising Naya, seemingly forgetting what an excellent and exceptional man her own son was.
As she listened to the praises from her relatives and friends, Naya lowered her eyes shyly before raising them again.
âMrs. Graham, you speak too highly of me. Iâm not as good as you said. Itâs my greatest luck to marry Dan.â
âListen to how humble Naya is.â Danielâs mother praised again. âHaving a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law like you is a blessing for the Grahams.â
Naya blushed shyly when she heard this.
The face of Nayaâs mother was also full of arrogance and smugness. âNaya, youâll live a good life with Dan in the future. Now that youâre engaged, youâre no different from husband and wife. If you meet Ava again, you should tell her that youâre the daughter-in-law of the Grahams. Tell her to know her place and get as far away as possible.â
âMom, isnât that a little cruel?â Naya frowned thoughtfully. âPlus, Dan thinks he and I are just faking this.â
âWhatâs so cruel about it? You were always meant to be the daughter-in-law of the Grahams.â Nayaâs mother emphasized in a serious tone. âDan is the only one who thinks that this is a fake engagement.
The rest of us all know that this engagement is real!â
After hearing what her mother said, Nayaâs face was instantly filled with confidence and self-
satisfaction. Victory and joy flashed across her eyes.
âHaving said so much, why hasnât Dan arrived yet?â
âIâll take a look outside.â
Danielâs mother said and was about to walk out.
Avaâs heart was already cold after hearing what she said just now.
As she turned to leave, a palm grabbed her hand all of a sudden.
Ava was startled, but when she heard the footsteps getting closer, the person behind her suddenly pulled her into the emergency stairway.
The voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on and Ava could see the person in front of her clearly.
âMaisie, itâs really you! I thought I was seeing things just now.â Ava looked at Maisie suspiciously. âWhy are you here? Do you and Naya know each other?â
Maisie nodded, âShe wanted me to be her bridesmaid, but I know your boyfriend is the one whoâs going to be engaged to Naya today, so I rejected her.â
After listening to Maisieâs explanation, Ava was in a trance for two seconds.
âNaya asked you to be her bridesmaid? You seem to have a good relationship with her.â
âAva, Iâm sorry. I just found out about it,â Maisie explained quickly, and her eyes were sincere. âNaya and I are not really good friends, but our families know each other and there are some dealings between us. Sheâs a few years older than me and she would occasionally ask me to go shopping with her. Thatâs about âI seeâ Ava understood, but she soon felt a little sorry. âMaisie, did you refuse to be Nayaâs bridesmaid because of me?â
âYeah.â Maisie nodded without thinking. âI like you more than I like her, and I also heard their conversation in the lounge just now. Theyâre so hateful! Ava, donât worry. I wonât let you suffer in silence!â
Maisie clenched her fist. She was seething.
Ava could tell that Maisie was a very straightforward person from the incident before. She also liked to uphold justice so obviously, she was about to go stand up for Ava.
When Ava was still thinking about this, Maisie pulled the metal door of the emergency stairwell open.
Then, she barged outside angrily.
âMaisie, what are you going to do?â
âIâm going to get justice for you! Also, I want to let everyone see the real faces of the Grahams and Mendezes!â
