But Ava is not willing to play along anymore!

Excerpt：

"I am Nathan Ford's girlfriend, loved by him, as everyone knows. And you... you're just a title holder, soon to be thrown out. By then, you'll lose all your dignity... no, you've already lost it. I bet your deceased mother would turn in her grave if she knew what you've become."

Hearing Iris Hart's sharp and biting words, Ava Sterling initially didn't want to stoop to her level. 

However, the mention of her late mother crossed a line.

A crisp slap echoed before Iris Hart could even react, leaving five bright red marks on her face.

"Ah—Ava Sterling—you lowlife, how dare you hit me..." Iris Hart realized she had been slapped and reached out to retaliate, but Ava Sterling was prepared and caught her hand easily.

"Listen, Iris Hart, if I'm the joke, what does that make you? You're also a joke. At least I'm Nathan Ford's wife by law! You! Iris Hart, are nothing but a mistress scorned by everyone. Every wealthy man may stray, but a hotel is just a hotel, and home is home. There can be many dishes, but there's only one bowl of rice."

Ex-husband seeks remarriage？I'm not cooperating!

Diana was visibly displeased with Nathan's immediate defense of Ava. She had merely asked a question, yet Nathan was so quick to shield Ava—clearly, he was prioritizing his wife over his mother.

"What are you defending her for? I wasn't planning on eating her alive."

"I just don't want you to misunderstand, Mom. But how did you learn about Ava's collaboration with Ford Group?" Nathan asked, puzzled. The partnership between Ava and Ford Group was not publicly known unless someone specifically investigated her. His mother wasn't fond of Ava, so she wouldn't have spent much effort on this.

"Oh, it's that Iri— As her elder, I can't show a little concern for Ava?" Diana almost answered instinctively but quickly corrected herself.
