A Lifetime With You

Chapter 82

Keenan’s expression soured, “What do you mean?” “As a sign of respect to you as my father-in-law, I planned to ignore everything that happened between Ava and Mrs. Nagel initially. But since you’ve crossed the line and tried to hit my wife, guess we need to have some talk now.” “Mr. Radbury, this is about the Nagel family and I have got the rights to teach my daughter. Please refrain yourself from getting involved in this matter!”

Keenan was firm this time. The Radburys and the Nagels were not on good terms since the kidnapping incident. With that, Keenan was not concerned about Damien’s status now. “Suddenly, you regard me as your daughter again when you want to vent your anger;” chuckled Ava. Cecelia was held by a servant. Although her back was bleeding slightly, it was not a serious injury. Damien and Ava were interlocking hands, “Last time when Mrs. Nagel barged into the restaurant and interrupted our meals, I’ve let her go once as respect to Beth. Yet today, she was trying to hurt my wife again and the injury behind her back is purely self-defense by Ava. I wonder what is the penalty for someone who committed the crimes more than once?” “You…! Damien, you’d better don’t go too far!” “Look who’s talking now!” Damien was furious, “Remember this! I’m letting everyone off today for Ava’s sake! There is no next time!” Then, Damien and Ava left the Nagel residence. Keenan was enraged and he fainted due to rising blood pressure.

“Sir!” “Someone, call the doctor!” The servants and Cecelia were startled by Keenan’s collapse. Ava wanted to turn around but Damien held her back. “Never look back,” he said to her.

She nodded.

Damien then loosened the grip once they entered the car. Ava massaged her fingertips that were still covered in Damien’s warmth and wiped off her tears. “Why did you come here today?” She asked. “The butler told me that you left early this morning and I guessed you came here.” “So you went there to protect me?” Damien refused to answer and he knocked her forehead slightly, “Are you dumb all this while?” “I’m not.” “Remember this. Learn to stand up for yourself. Otherwise, people will take advantage of your kindness.”

Ava giggled and felt warmth in her

“Thank you, Damien.”

day, Ava used a silk scarf to cover it and headed to the office. Little did she know, the scarf brought trouble to her. That afternoon, Kelly was at the Radbury Group to sign a brand endorsement contract. Since this was not the first collaboration, the contract details were roughly similar to the previous. Ava made some modifications to the document and delivered it to Kelly. Everyone included employees of the artist agency and Radbury Group were waiting
