Revenge on My Heartless Husband and Daughter (Tiffany) novel Chapter 144

“Nah, we’re good,” Rose said, playing along and patting Richard’s shoulder. “He’s just mad that I dumped him yesterday because he couldn’t keep up with me,” she joked and winked at Celeste.

The four of us got up from our chairs, and I could see Celeste frown because she wasn’t able to swindle us out of all our money.

Celeste showed us to the exit of the corridor. She didn’t even ask us to come back. Probably because we didn’t spend enough money.

Ten minutes later, we took a chance on the old, creaky elevator because we just wanted to get out of the building. When the doors opened, Ava stepped out.

Her eyes widened as she stared at us. Weirdly, the first thing she noticed was the bracelet on Alexander’s wrist.

She narrowed her eyes and then looked at me. “Hey, is there something you’re not-”

My stomach swooped, and I hurriedly covered her mouth with my hand and dragged her back into the elevator. Alexander, Richard, and Rose followed on after me.

Slowly, I removed my hand and gave Ava a look not to run her mouth in a place filled with cameras, and she nodded in understanding.

“I’m glad I ran into you guys here,” Ava said in an upbeat tone.

I smiled encouragingly glad that she had quickly caught on.

restaurant around here that’s open pretty late,” Ava continued as the elevator doors opened.

Alexander scowled and walked out of the elevator. “No, I have an early inorning meeting.” He turned to Rose and me. “Ava can take you home, then?”

I nodded as my mind spun, trying to process his latest mood swing.

We left the building, and Alexander left with Richard without a goodbye. Richard turned and waved at the three of us at least.

“Woah, why is he so angry?” Ava asked as Rose and I followed her to her car.

“He hasn’t been in the best of moods lately,” I answered as I sat in the passenger seat.

“Is he ever in a good mood?” Ava joked while starting the car..

I couldn’t help the laugh that burst out of my lips. “You’re not wrong about that.”

Ava pointed at Rose in excitement. “Exactly!”

At the end of dinner, Ava and Rose exchanged business cards.

“You’re one of the coolest people I’ve ever met,” Ava told Rose. “If you ever need any legal advice, I’ll give you a big discount.”

“You’re so sweet!” Rose said. “I’ll make sure to send my clients your way if they need a good lawyer!”

“Just don’t forget who introduced you guys,” I reminded them jokingly.

Rose took a cab home, and Ava offered to drive me to her apartment so that we could discuss what she learned in more detail.

After I entered Ava’s cute apartment, she turned to me with excitement.

“I know you trust Rose–and so do I–but the fewer people that know about this, the better,” she said and grabbed my hands.
