Chapter 13 The Target of Public Criticism

Chapter 13 The Target of Public Criticism

Amazing!

All the people present were startled.

A designated-driver?

The youth who claimed to be the son of Mr. Edwards was a driver.

However, James must have some evidence to accuse him.

Now the public recalled the whole incident and found that Gabriel's claim was a one-sided story.

From beginning to end, he had no substantial evidence.

The only evidence might be the contract in Sophia's hand.

But it could be faked.

If so, Gabriel told a whooping story.

And he fooled all the guests present.

In the face of James' questioning, Gabriel kept calm and didn't show any anxiety.

Ava, however, was inferior to Gabriel in mindset.

She was panicking.

Ava knew that James must have found out clearly before he disclosed Gabriel's identity.

This time, they must be exposed.

But when she was in extremely nervous emotions, Ava suddenly felt that Gabriel held her hand tightly.

The flustered heart suddenly calmed down.

Sophia was at a loss, holding the contract with a stiff smile, "Mr. Davis, are you mistaken? This is the contract brought by Mr. Gabriel, with the seal of Apex Bank and the signature of Mr. Leon of Silverwood..."

Sophia couldn't believe that someone dared to fake a contract to cheat her.

This was a crime.

Other Fosters also gathered together.

They stared at the contract, trying to find any flaw.

"Mrs. Foster!" James interrupted Sophia and took out a portfolio, "I have the file of the so-called Junior Mr. Edwards, as well as his photos in detail."

"Let me briefly show it to everyone!"

"Gabriel, male, of unknown age, came to Silverwood three years ago as an unregistered resident."

"He shared in a 90-square-meter apartment in Stellar Estate, an urban renewed residential district, at the rent of 70 dollars a month!"

"His occupation is a designated driver!"

"He drove for Ava one night and the two knew each other for less than three days!"

"Also, I have asked someone and found there was no minister named Edwards in all departments of Apex Bank headquarters, or any younger generation of Apex Bank executives in Silverwood."

"So, Gabriel is totally a liar!"

After the explanation, he gave all the information in the portfolio to Sophia.

Since Gabriel ruined his plan of drugging Ava that day, James began to investigate him.

The information was detailed with some photos of Gabriel when he was driving.

The evidence was conclusive.

Ava and Gabriel conspired an identity as Junior Mr. Edwards to deceive others.

"OMG... Oh my..."

Sophia's hands were shaking when she thumbed through the data.

The Fosters behind her were all dumbfounded.

The evidence proved Gabriel's identity.

The bullshit Junior Mr. Edwards was a designated driver.

This was a terrible lie!

The guests were whispering, but things were pretty close.

The Foster family was going to be a big fool.

"How dare you? You bastard unite an outsider to fool your mother. You piss me off."

Angry Sophia threw the file to Ava and Gabriel with a crash.

She rushed to Ava, raised her right hand, and almost slapped Ava.

They told such a big lie in front of the guests.

The Foster family was in an embarrassing situation.

"Don't hit her. Calm down!"

Other juniors stopped Sophia.

The scene was in a mess.

In the falling paper, Ava's heart was like dead ashes.

Everything in sight seemed to be silent.

Ava only heard her own desperate heartbeat.

Sophia was held by others, touched her chest with one hand, and scolded, "Are you here to celebrate my birthday? It seems you wish to witness my death! Unfilial girl, you're really ungrateful."

"Don't be angry. Watch yourself!" The others comforted Sophia.

In the chaos, Mr. James turned his head and said, "Today is your birthday. Don't be angry! I think Ava is a well-behaved lady, who wouldn't deliberately have a hard time with you. It must be Gabriel who seduced Ava glibly and lied to you, trying to inherit the Foster family's wealth! Fortunately, Mr. Davis saw through this guy's vicious mind. It's not too late to expose the scam."

Mr. James was a veteran of the business world.

His simple words were just right.

Sophia calmed down a lot.

Mr. James cleverly turned to Gabriel.

He even transformed Ava from a liar to a victim.

The young and ignorant lady Ava was cheated by Gabriel, and it was all Gabriel's fault.

In this way, the Foster family could maintain its glory.

And it had given the Foster family an excuse that Ava was a victim to maintain the previous engagement and express thanks for James.

It resolved the crisis of the Foster family could be resolved in a word.

The guests present were all shrewd.

They agreed with Mr. James, "It must be the driver who cheated the innocent lady Ava. Mr. Davis is not a stingy. After dealing with this liar, your families can maintain your friendship."

Someone even shouted, "The liar forged a contract with a fake seal and signature. This is a crime. Call the police to arrest him!"

What a terrible tacit!

Such a tacit was driven by interest.

Gabriel stood there, looking at ugly faces and wanting to laugh.

He felt helpless.

Everyone was accusing him.

But at the beginning, Gabriel intended to do a good deed. How could he be hated and become the target of public criticism?

Sophia suddenly came to her senses.

She stood up straight and pushed away the person who helped her behind.

Yes, they were right.

She must put the blame on this designated driver.

And Ava had to be the victim in the affair.

In this way, at least, the engagement with the Davis family could be maintained.

Sophia couldn't endure she ended up with empty hands

"Ava, I know that you were cheated by the driver. You have the last chance: apologize to Mr. Davis. Then you are still an apple of my eye. Or, from today on, I'll renounce you and expel you from the Foster family."

Sophia pointed to Ava and growled.

Ava's attitude determined the future of the Foster family.

Sophia must persuade Ava to compromise and apologize to James at all costs.

Only the Davis family's understanding could make things turn around.

The hall became quiet again.

All eyes fell on Ava.

Sophia, despite her absolute words, was delivering an indication to Ava.

As long as Ava followed her advice, apologized to James, and pushed Gabriel out, then the Foster family and the Davis family would get back together.

The way things were going depended on Ava's attitude.

Under the spotlight, Ava felt powerless, as if all her strength had been drained.

Tears ticked down from her bright eyes.

Ava was desperate and powerless.

"Gabriel, I'm sorry for bringing trouble to you. Until now, I found out how stupid and naive I am. In my imagination, I could lie to mom like when I was a kid and she would come to comfort me and compromise with me no matter what I did."

"But, when I grow up, her love is gone!"

"Now I am a cold chip of the Foster family!"

"The fate is pathetic, but I accept it!"

"You can leave now!"

"We don't owe each other. The seven-day period has arrived early, and you are free!"

Ava looked at Gabriel, and for the first time, she could raise her head and talk to Gabriel proudly.

Then, little by little, she let go of Gabriel's hand.

Ava felt regretful for a long time.

Why was the bastard Gabriel so handsome?

And why didn't he have the ability to set Ava free?

For an instant, Ava was suffocating with heartbroken emotion.

When Ava withdrew her hand from Gabriel's hand, for the first time, Gabriel felt admired and distressed by Ava.

Ava was heartbroken by her indifferent family.

But now Gabriel was Ava's boyfriend in the name.

A man wouldn't let his girl suffer such an injustice.

"I told you, today you are my girlfriend, and I won't let others bully you. I'll fulfill my word."

With a gentle smile, Gabriel took Ava's hand again.

Ava was a little surprised.

Her cold heart felt a touch of warmth.

Gabriel's eyes cooled down and he looked at Sophia again, "Mrs. Foster, I come with full sincerity, but you are so rude. You would rather trust a notorious playboy than Ava and me. You have made a choice, but do you bear its consequences?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
