Chapter 67: The damning evidence (Part-1)
The news of the reporters questioning Ava reached Dylan. His face darkened with fury, the muscles flexing and relaxing as he fought to contain the anger rising within him. It was a deliberate attempt to shred Ava’s reputation, and Dylan didn’t need to think twice to know who was behind it.
Every part of him screamed to confront her, to end this vicious game and see her pay the price in jail, severing all ties once and for all. But he held himself back.
Ava was the one who had been wronged, and she was the one who should have the right to decide Gianna’s punishment. This was her justice to claim. However, he vowed he’d protect her from any further harm, ensuring Gianna’s schemes wouldn’t succeed.
"Stop this story from spreading," Dylan commanded fiercely. "If anyone dared to mention about it, just get rid of them."
Justin nodded with a grim expression. "Understood, sir. I’ll take care of it."
"Did you send the evidence to Ava?" Dylan asked.
Justin paused, displeased. For the first time, he had hesitated to carry out his boss’s command. However, he couldn’t disregard his orders. Following his word was his duty.
"Yes, she might have received it by now," he said gruffly. "I just don’t get it." He couldn’t help but voice his displeasure. "You have a perfect chance here to show Ava you’re fighting for her. Why hold back? You should have punished Gianna on your own."
Justin’s words stirred emotions he had kept buried for too long. Taking a slow breath, he pinched the bridge of his nose. He had invested trust in her, a trust she had twisted and weaponized. Only he knew how difficult it was to hold himself back, but Ava deserved to lash out her long-held frustration.
