A Lifetime With You

Chapter 43

The Radbury family. Ava was locked in the room for a whole day, and no one dared to open the door without Damien’s permission.

She laid on the bed restlessly for quite a while before she walked to the door and shouted, “You can’t starve me even if want to lock me up! Let me out, I’m hungry!” “Mrs. Radbury, the master has instructed that you can’t leave this room. I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare your meal and it will be brought to you shortly.” the butler said.

“Fine.”

Soon, the butler came upstairs with Ava’s food. However, he didn’t see Ava inside when he opened the door.

The size of the bedroom wasn’t that big and it only had a washroom, balcony, and a bed. So, the butler quickly put down the dishes and went to the balcony to find her. At this moment, Ava, who had been hiding behind the door, grabbed the opportunity to escape. “Mrs. Radbury!” The butler hurriedly asked other servants to stop Ava, but it was too late. Ava wore her shoes in advance, and she had already sprinted out of the room. She ran directly to the garden and opened the door of one of Damien’s sports cars before she got in.

Fortunately, she knew where Damien kept his car keys. The servants at the door couldn’t stop the car, so they could only watch as she sped away. Ava had no idea where she was headed, but she really hated being under house arrest. thus, she drove away happily as she wanted to get as far away from the Radbury family as she could. Damien had confiscated her phone, and she couldn’t memorize anyone’s number. Thus, she planned to her mother’s housing area to find her. However, she caught a glimpse of her mother walking by when she was about to park the car in the basement. “Mum?” She rapidly rolled down the car windows and called out her mother. Then, Jessica turned and yelled as

soon as she saw Ava, “Go!” Ava was instantly taken aback. Then, Ava saw someone standing behind her mother, it was Beth! How could they be together? “Ava, just leave, don’t bother me!” Jessica screamed to her daughter with all her might. “Old b*tch, shut up!” Beth said fiercely. Suddenly, Ava realized that both of her mother’s hands were tied up and Beth was holding a sharp knife in her hand. “Beth, you must be insane!” Ava was hysterical.

That sharp knife was pressed against Jessica’s waist and it would be stabbed into her body if she

struggled a little harder. Beth gave a smug grin after she saw Ava, “I wanted to ask this old b*tch to call you, but you are already here now. Well, turns out you’re quite smart.”

“Let go of my mum! Beth, you can come at me if you want to!” . “Of course I will, my lovely sister, since every single thing that I’ve done is to get back at you.” The blade of the knife was very sharp and it glinted in the light. So, Ava didn’t dare to take a step closer for fear that it might provoke Beth and her mother would get hurt. Then, Jessica gritted her teeth and shouted, “Ava, leave me alone! Hurry up and call the police!”

“I promise that I’ll kill her if you call the cops!”

The sharp knife was another inch closer to Jessica’s body. Ava clenched her fist furiously and tried to negotiate with Beth, “Alright, I won’t call the police, I won’t.., what do you want me to do? I’m willing to do anything as long as you free her!” “Well, I want you to die for her!” Beth’s malicious and hysterical laughter sounded like she was possessed. She absolutely detested Ava since she was a child. To Beth, her so-called “sister”, who appeared out of nowhere, was just a sordid b*stard child that didn’t have a right to share the same surname as her! Although her parents favored her more in the Nagel family, this slit had always gotten the upper hand outside.

In school, Ava was more popular and her grades were always the top in class. On top of that, when both of them fell for Damien simultaneously, Ava was the one who ended up marrying into the Radbury

family.

“How can you compare yourself to me? You’re just a little b*tch! Ava, do you think that Damien really loves you? Do you think he’ll even look at you if you weren’t pregnant with his child?”

Ava bit her lips and answered coldly, “I don’t need you to remind me about this.” “Sister, I don’t stand a chance. But, do you think you’ll be any better than me after marrying him? This is such a joke, I want to see how he’s going to protect you now.”

Then, she continued to laugh as she drew another fruit knife from her sleeve and threw it in front of Ava.

“What?”

“Stab yourself with that and I will let go of your mother.” Jessica struggled harder when she heard Beth’s words, “No! Ava, don’t listen to her crap, she is just desperate now. Don’t you do anything stupid because of her!” Beth slammed the hilt of the knife on the back of Jessica’s head, “Old bitch, shut up!” Then, Beth turned to Ava and said, “As long as you are willing to exchange your life for your mother, then our score will be settled.”

Ava stared at the fruit knife on the ground.

It didn’t seem like a big knife. However, she wasn’t sure whether the knife was sharp, or whether it would be painful when she used it to stab into her heart.

She hesitated and trembled while she bent down to take the knife.

Meanwhile, in the Radbury Group.

Damien received a call from the housekeeper, who informed him that Ava had ran away. “Where did she go? Go and chase after her!” “Mrs… Mrs. Radbury fled with your sports car, so we couldn’t catch up.” Damien was startled.

He had never seen her drive before throughout their two years of marriage, and he assumed that she didn’t own a driving license.

Perhaps, he knew too little about her. “I will send someone back now to find her before night falls.” Then, he stood up and was just about to search for Ava. However, Dempsey came in, “President, Ms. Selina is here.” “I have something to do now and I am not free to see her.” “Ms. Newton said that she just came from the Radbury family’s residence and she has something urgent to tell you.” Damien paused. So, he could only make a call to his men and asked them to search for Ava immediately. Then, he turned and walked towards the reception room. Meanwhile, Selina looked relaxed as she drank a cup of hot coffee. “I have to settle something very urgent now, so get straight to the point,” he said to her as soon as he entered.

Selina smiled and replied, “But my matters are very urgent as well, so I can’t just give you a brief summary.” “What’s that?”

“Your mother came to me today and told me that she wants you to divorce Ava as soon as the baby is born. Then, she wants us to get married.”

Damien frowned, “So?’

“So, I am here to ask you whether I should agree with her.” “Ms. Newtown, our relationship is purely for business.”
