Chapter 167
After saying that, Ava felt that what she had just done was a little rash. Even if it was her fault, what she wanted was to marry the Mercer family and have everything Caleb had.
“Caleb, my bad, I’m sorry.” Ava half–heartedly covered her mouth. She was trying to play off the impulsive outburst she had in the heat of the moment as no big deal. She hurriedly continued. “It’s okay. I can wait for you by your side till you divorce
her
Although today she did reject an advertisement shoot for Caleb, during this period, she became the ambassador of a lot of brands using her relationship with Caleb. Moreover, this advertisement shoot was only postponed, not canceled.
“No need.” Caleb said concisely
This time. Ava couldn’t pretend anymore. The tears on her face instantly stopped, and surprise was written all over her face.
After a long while, Ava continued. “Caleb, I don’t understand what you mean. What does ‘no need‘ mean?”
As she spoke, she held Caleb’s hand tightly, regardless of the consequences. It was as if letting go would mean losing everything she had meticulously planned for and the efforts shed made through her facade all this time would be in vain. But fate had other plans.
As soon as she grabbed Caleb’s hand, he used his other hand to pry hers off, his face expressionless. “Let’s just call it quits here,” he said flatly. The engagement–we’re not going to follow through with it”
That was like a thunderbolt to Ava
Before she came here, she wasn’t completely sure about her plan for the day, but she definitely felt she had a solid shot at success. Even more crucially, it never crossed her mind that she could fail with Caleb. What was more, the opponent she was facing now was not anyone else, but a loser who she had effortlessly defeated before. How could such a person now force her To waste any extra energy worrying about how to come out on top again?
“Caleb, what do you mean by ‘call it quits? I don’t understand. Why did you suddenly change?” As she spoke, Ava’s eyes lit up with a murderous look. She lay beside him and continued to say weakly, “Did Evelyn say something in front of you? You believe what she said and don’t believe me, right?”
At that moment, Ava felt like she was out of moves, except for one last resort–tears. But this time, no matter how much she cried, trying to look pitiable and sad, it didn’t even make Caleb bat an eye. Not to mention offering words of comfort, he didn’t even glance her way. Suddenly, Ava realized she wasn’t just in a tough spot; she was in a no–win situation with no way to turn things around.
After she finished her words, Caleb still didn’t react at all Thinking of the video she had got yesterday, Ava said, “Caleb, to get involved in the company’s affairs, she not only hit me yesterday but also held a press conference without authorization. Are you really going to be with her?”
“Aren’t you going to fight back?” said Caleb expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Ava was stunned.
“Besides, didn’t you tell others that I was in hospital?”
Hearing this, Ava’s heart trembled. She had never expected that Caleb, who had just woken up, would know everything
