Patrick Connor just stared at Adrian without a word. Has it gotten to this point where he now talks him down and verbally trampled upon him?
Adrian just walked out and Clem clasped his hands, apologising to Patrick. When he saw Adrian walk out on him, he stepped out, and went to get his car as he drove out after him.
He needed to see Ava Leon. Meanwhile Adrian stopped the news of it from being leaked out because if it does, his father would be forced to return home.
His mother doesn’t want him to stop the conference halfway but that is not a problem to him, he could pause it if he wants. But what he wants to prevent is not having him around as he takes justice for his grandfather.
His father would definitely interfere with his revenge. So it would be better if he stays away this whole time until he’s done with what he wants to do.
Patrick Connor arrived at the police department and the police superintendent told him that Adrian Lester had restrained anyone from seeing Ava Leon.
Adrian Lester is a powerful man in New Jersey and he is known for being ruthless and merciless. They’ll only let him have access to her if Adrian allows it.
“What nonsense! Is the police afraid of Adrian Lester?” Patrick Connor quarried. What the hell is going on, how can they let him decide that?
“He is the grandson of the man attacked. He is also Ava Leon’s legal husband and his decision here is to be respected. She’s entitled only to a lawyer and not to anyone else” the police chief informed.
Patrick Connor palm formed a fist. So ruthless Adrian. Now he knows Ava Leon is his wife when he wants to punish her. But a while ago, he said he was single and the richest bachelor in town.
Unable to see Ava, Patrick Connor gave up. He couldn’t help it. Adrian was stronger and more powerful than he is and as it is, he doesn’t want to talk to him for now.
Meanwhile, from the moment Ava arrived at the police station, she was quiet. She was not able to say anything or utter a single word. The shock of seeing grandfather in his own pool of blood has taken a grip on her.
Not until evening that she was able to break down emotionally. She sobbed until she became weak. Who hurt grandfather, who could have done that to him?
She was walking past his bedroom and she heard a scream. She couldn’t get in quickly until she forcefully pushed the door open and it’s just in time as grandfather was going to slump on the floor.
She grabbed him and laid him gently on the floor and quickly pulled the knife off. At that moment, she was too scared to scan around the room to see if someone had done this to him.
Oh why, why would anyone want to hurt grandfather. He is such a good man. He loves everyone and acts with kindness to all the employees of the house.
What’s the situation with him at the moment? Is grandfather alive, did he fight against death, did he win and stayed alive or his old bones couldn’t resist death.
In the quietness of her heart, Ava Leon made silent prayers to God to save her grandfather. She wants him to stay alive otherwise, who would believe her that she didn’t hurt him?
Anna Lester had already concluded that she attacked grandfather. That woman hates her too much and she doesn’t know what she’d done to her besides being arranged in marriage to her son, she cannot say what else she’d done.
Adrian didn’t spare her a glance then. He was engrossed in the act of saving grandfather. She sent her prayers and best wishes to him and sincerely wants grandfather to escape death.
Then he would come to her and she would explain things to him. She hopes he checks the entire mansion or checks for any opening in grandfather’s room.
She doesn’t know what happened exactly. But she’s sure they can find out what happened. But if grandfather is alive, he would tell everyone what really happened.
Ava Leon ended up waiting for her husband to come to find her and waited another three days. She had thought Adrian would come. His mother had her arrested and he would come to her and find out what happened and possibly have her bailed.
It was the third day that Ava felt weak and tired. For the first time in three days, she felt famished. She hadn’t eaten anything in three days besides the rich chicken soup that Alice made her drink the morning grandfather was attacked.
Alice said she’s 99% certain that Ava was pregnant and she needs to eat nutritious meals to keep the baby alive and healthy. She was happy that she was pregnant with the future young master of the Lester family.
Besides her, Alice is the only one soul that knows the truth of how she got conceived with Adrian’s child. She told her everything but pleaded with her to keep her secret safe.
Ava caressed her belly. It’s flat as normal and she wondered if there was life indeed in her belly, growing. Without food for three days, will he be fine?
She just wants to get divorced and disappear from New Jersey and from the lives of the members of the Lester family. When she returned, her baby would have been born.
In her despondent state, a police officer came to inform her “Ava Leon, someone is here to see you”
A faint smile appeared on Ava’s lips. Finally, Adrian has come to bail her. She’ll be out in a moment.
