Chapter 10: The fiery defiance
Gianna stormed out of the room, disappointed and upset. Her mind raced with lingering thoughts—no matter how much she tried to get close to him, Dylan kept pushing her away. And that only fueled her determination to win him over.
But when she saw Ava climbing the stairs, her mood shifted instantly. A sly smile crept across her lips, her disappointment vanishing. She appreciated Erica for her quick action.
Gianna contacted Erica last night and asked her to notify Ava that Dylan was not feeling well. She knew this information would prompt Ava to rush over to see him.
Now, the stage was set for Gianna to play her part.
Ava's steps faltered when she saw Gianna emerging from Dylan's bedroom. Her stomach churned in disgust at the sight.
In her past life, she had seen Gianna clinging to Dylan more times than she cared to remember. But she had ignored all the warning signs, foolishly convincing herself that as long as she was his wife, no one could replace her.
But Ava had learned her lesson, and she wasn't about to let them drag her down again.
Gianna's eyes gleamed with malice as she approached Ava, a sarcastic smile plastered on her face.
"Ava! You finally came," she sneered. "As his wife, you should've been the one here, taking care of him when he was unwell. But instead, you were nowhere to be found. It's me who took care of him last night."
