Chapter 2193
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
When the crowd heard her reasoning, they all looked at Ava contemptuously, pointing and insulting her.
âNo wonder Daniel left Naya hanging. It turns out itâs because of this.â
âSome young women nowadays are really shameless. I bet sheâs pestering Daniel because she has taken a fancy to the Grahamsâ fortune.â
âThatâs definitely the case. Otherwise, what kind of a person would be so brazen as to come to an occasion like this to cause trouble?â
âHow shameless of her.â
All the guests started to think that Ava was the money-greedy vixen who was pestering Daniel.
When Mr. Mendezâs client followed him into the hall and heard the chatter of the guests around them, there was a sudden and drastic change in her facial expression.
âDaniel Graham?â she thought.
The name sounded familiar to her. âThatâs the guy whoâs dating Ava, right?
âWhy is he holding an engagement ceremony with another woman now?â
The woman was stunned for a while before she pushed her way through the crowd, trying to get to the front. There, she saw Ava, who was currently in Danielâs arms.
At that moment, Ava was being held tightly in Danielâs arms. The woman could not see Avaâs expression clearly. She only saw Avaâs head lowered and her left hand covering her cheek. Ava did not say a word.
The womanâs face fell, and she started to feel a little anxious.
She was about to go up and ask what was going on when she heard Danielâs angry voice.
âShut up! All of you have no idea whatâs going on! Ava was never a mistress or a vixen!â Daniel said coldly and angrily. His eyebrows were furrowed deeply. âIâve been dating Ava, my girlfriend, the whole time. Naya and I are nothing!â
Daniel announced the truth to everyone.
Ava froze for a moment because she thought that Daniel would hold himself back for Old Master Graham, but he did not.
When the guests heard what Daniel said, all of them looked surprised.
Mrs. Graham and the othersâ expressions changed dramatically. Mrs. Graham ran to Daniel, speaking to him with a stern voice.
âWhat the hell are you talking about, Daniel?!â Mrs. Graham lowered her voice on purpose. âDo you want your grandfather to collapse in front of you?!â
Mrs. Graham continued to threaten Daniel with Old Master Grahamâs health again to make sure he knew his place.
âOf course, I donât want anything to happen to Grandpa, but thereâs no way Iâm going to let down and hurt the woman I like just to please all of you!â
âDaniel, why youâ¦â Mrs. Graham was dumbfounded because she did not expect that she would end up pushing Daniel over the edge.
Nayaâs face turned completely pale because she could not believe that Daniel would rather choose Ava than Old Master Graham!
âSince this is how things have unfolded, Iâve decided to tell all of you the truth. Naya and I never intended t o actually get engaged. We talked about this before and we only decided to fake our engagement to have Grandpa feel better from the news. But if that means that Ava will be misunderstood and hurt, I wonât continue with this ridiculous charade!â
When Mrs. Graham and the Mendezes heard what Daniel said, each one of them froze in place, dumbfounded.
When Mr. Mendez saw what unfolded, he had no idea what to do because he had been kept in the dark by both Naya and his wife.
