Chapter 2197

When the woman said that, Mrs. Graham and the rest paused. After a few seconds, mocking sneers appeared on each of their faces.

Ava ignored the disdainful looks on their faces. Instead, she was looking at the woman, hinting and imploring her not to continue.

The woman saw Ava’s gaze and understood what Ava was trying to say.

She did not want to go against Ava’s wishes, but she could not bear the attitude of these people in front o f her any longer.

“Mrs. Xander, are you implying that Ava’s status is above us, the Grahams? Heh, and what makes you say that? The Grahams are one of the four most powerful families in the city. Our reputation, prestige, and financial resources are all ranked top in the city. Meanwhile, Ava…”

Mrs. Graham paused and glanced at Ava with a hint of contempt.

“I had someone do a check on her a long time ago. She lost her parents when she was very young.

She’s a In orphan who came from an orphanage. That’s all she is. How can you say that she has a higher status than the Grahams, Mrs. Xander?”

“Yeah, Mrs. Xander. Clearly, Ava’s just a homely girl who wishes to climb to the top.”

Mrs. Mendez came over and interjected, making sure to put herself in a good light.

“Mrs. Xander, although I don’t know anything about business, please don’t take offense to what I said.

I’m a person who has an eye for people. This woman is just out for the Grahams’ money! That’s why she’s pestering Daniel. The only person who’s worthy of marrying Daniel is my daughter!”

“Enough with all this ridiculousness!” Daniel could not take it anymore. “No one can take Ava’s place in m y heart. No woman, no matter how good she is, has anything to do with me because the only woman! want to marry is Ava!”

“…” Mrs. Mendez initially wanted to defend Naya, but she did not expect Daniel to say such a thing.

There was nothing Naya could do now. She looked even more embarrassed. She was furious as well, but she had no way of venting it now.

As for Ava, what Daniel said was the most heavenly and moving words.

She suddenly felt that it did not matter what outsiders thought as long as Daniel was committed to her.

It was enough.

While Ava was thinking about that, Daniel decisively placed the ring on her left ring finger and took Ava’s hand before gently planting a kiss on it.

“No matter how others see you, in my eyes, you’re still the best.” When Daniel said that to Ava, before she could react to all the emotions she was feeling, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips.

“Wow!” Maisie applauded and was genuinely happy for Ava.

Ava’s birth mother, Raegan Xander, looked at the scene and felt relieved.

However, Naya could not take it any longer. She clenched her fists violently, and all her emotions broke free!

She suddenly rushed forward and did not care about her image any longer. She reached out to pull Ava away.

“You’ve gone too far this time, Ava! How dare you steal my fiance in front of so many people?! Have you n o shame?!”

Naya could not restrain her anger. She scolded Ava angrily and fiercely.

“Did you not learn any manners because you had no parents growing up?!”

“That’s enough!” Raegan initially wanted to follow Ava’s wishes and not interfere, but Naya, Mrs.

Graham, and Mrs. Mendez were being so intolerable that she could not stand it anymore.

“Ms. Mendez, please show some respect. Even though Ms. Long’s parents were not with her when she was very young, she knows how to behave. On the contrary, you grew up with your parents around you, yet it seems that your parents have never taught you basic manners or decency!”

Naya was furious and did not even care who Raegan was at that moment.

“Mrs. Xander, please stop meddling in our family’s matter! Your business isn’t the only business my family is surviving on, okay?! So what if you’re the richest person in Y Country?! I’m teaching this vixen a lesson! It’s none of your business,” Slap!
