A Lifetime With You

Chapter 29

Back then, although Ava secretly admired Damien, she never dared to confess to him because she felt inferior.

But God always had a way of playing tricks on people. Two years ago, both of them drank too much during a party and ended up having sex. It was just a one-night stand, but for some reason, word got out about it, and both their parents found out about it.

The Radbury family had always cared about their reputation a lot. Even though Ava was merely the Nagel family’s illegitimate daughter, the two families cooperated a lot when it came to business. There were a lot of profits involved, and the Radbury family couldn’t just sour relations with the Nagel family like that. Moreover, when it came to things like this, the woman’s reputation was affected more than the man’s. If the Nagel family were to hold the Radbury family accountable for this, things would get ugly. Therefore, after some negotiation between both families, Ava finally fulfilled her dream of marrying Damien.

But what did Jessica have to do with this matter? “Mum, tell me? What did you mean?” When Ava saw that Jessica was avoiding her gaze, she asked. Jessica paused for a while before she said, “Cowardly as you are, if I didn’t drug the wine the two of you were drinking, do you think that you would ever have the chance to be with Damien?” “Mum, what did you say? You drugged Damien and I?”

Her heart sank.

She had always thought that this was an opportunity from God. Even though she suffered a lot under the hands of the members of the Radbury family, she didn’t mind because of her love for Damien But it turned out that everything was just a scheme. It was no wonder that Damien hated and disdained her so much. It turned out that just like what Damien thought, she was merely a woman who resorted to unscrupulous means to marry into a rich family.

“Da-Damien, why are you back?” There was a tremble to Jessica’s voice. Ava turned around and saw Damien standing at the door. It was obvious that he had heard the conversation between Jessica and Ava. Ava opened her mouth, wanting to explain things. But in the end, she decided against it.

Her mother only did that because of her. She was in no way innocent.

“Damien, listen to me. It’s not… It’s not what you think…” Jessica panicked. However, as Damien walked into the room, he didn’t fly into a rage as Jessica and Ava
