Chapter 120
“Of course it is because you were pregnant with his child.” Ava couldn’t remember anything that had happened in the past.
Enrico’s story sounded foreign, as if she was listening to someone else’s story. Enrico then continued, “When you were pregnant
with your first child, you had a miscarriage that resulted from heartbreak. Damien was fooling around with other women outside.
Even your half sister is involved with him. While you were upset at home, he was out there having scandal...” Her hand
trembled, and she almost knocked over the coffee in front of her. It turned out that a lot of things had happened in the past.
However, why did Damien look at her so profoundly when she was in the hospital? Did he act this way for the sake of the child?
“Why didn’t you tell me about these things when you know it all along!” “Of course I knew it all along, but it’s the best for you not
to remember those unpleasant memories. I couldn’t bear to expose you to your sorrowful past again.” Enrico’s eyes were filled
with sincerity, and he didn’t seem to be lying. What he said has matched with some of the fragments in her memories. However,
she was unwilling to believe it.
How could she fall in love with such a horrible man? “If you don’t believe me, the rumor between him and Selina hit the
headlines. Although time has passed, I believe you can find it through the internet.” Enrico took out his phone and typed Damien
and Selina’s names. As expected, he saw the news from a few years ago. Back then, the media had addressed the Newton
family’s eldest daughter, Selina Newton, as the ‘fiancee’.
She felt her headache again.
“Selina Newton... Selina Newton... I think I might have seen her before.” Ava held her head in her hands as her headache
worsen, and some of the blurred memories had gradually become clear. She remembered that Selden told her something
happened at the dock and she fell into the sea, which caused her to have amnesia.
She remembered there was another woman on the dock with her...
exposed and everyone thought that you were dead when you fell into the sea. Later on, my brother sent Selina to prison and
saved his reputation. After that, the incident was considered settled.” Enrico flipped through the news report and placed his
phone in front of her. She couldn’t deny the news even if she wanted to, as it was printed in black and white.
“She wanted to kill me?” “The scar on your neck is the proof.” Ava subconsciously touched the scar on her neck. She always
wanted to know about the scar, it turned out that this was the truth. It turned out that the cause of everything was because she
fell in love with the wrong man and even married him.
No wonder Selden would rather lie than tell her the truth, and it was hardly surprising that Enrico had always been ambiguous
around her.
It turned out that the truth was rather unbearable.
“Well, thank you for telling me.” She stood up and stumbled to the door. Enrico said to her, “Ava, you probably don’t want to hear
me calling you sister-in-law. I hid it from you in hopes that you can forget the past and live a happy life after all these incidents.”
She stopped and turned around.
“Enrico, you’re not lying to me just because you hate your brother, are you?” Enrico halted and smiled, “Of course I won’t! We’ve
known each other for so long and you still don’t trust me?”
“I can’t trust you as I don’t remember anything about the past, and the both of you tell a different story. I can’t believe any of you.”
She then walked out without delay.
It was late when Ava returned home, and Jean had fallen asleep in his bedroom. Jessica had just come back from hanging out
with her buddies for the whole night. Seeing that Jessica had just returned, Ava quickly asked, “Where have you been? Why did
you leave Jean alone at home?”
She shook her head and fell on the sofa. She was so exhausted that all her energy had been drained, so she didn’t even bother
to move. From her expression, Jessica noticed that something was wrong, and Ava even had a plaster on the back of her hand.
It was to stop the IV wound from bleeding, so Jessica quickly asked, “What happened to you? Are you okay?” “Mom, please tell
“Uh... about what?” Jessica felt somewhat guilty, “I just went out with my friends. I didn’t gamble, and I didn’t lose any money
either!”
“I’m not asking you about that, I just want to know why did I marry Damien?” Jessica was astounded, “You... you remember that?
Do you have your memories back?” “No. One of my friends told me something today.” She was relieved and said with hemmed
and hawed, “You were married to Damien Radbury because... because you two were a perfect match.” “I’m your daughter, the
illegitimate daughter of the Nagel family. How could we be a perfect match? Mom, tell me the truth!”
Jessica had no choice but to spit out the truth after being interrogated by Ava. She explained to her the ins and outs of how she
had drugged Damien back then, how she planned for Ava and Damien to be intimate with each other, and how she had asked
the Radbury family to take responsibility. She was afraid that Ava would blame her, and she quickly said, “Don’t reprimand me!
You rebuked me right after you knew the truth before you lost your memory back then! Besides, you married him willingly!”
Ava smiled bitterly, “So that’s the truth.”
It turned out that she was the one who had used despicable tricks to marry Damien. No wonder he looked down on her, and
Enrico said he would still have mistresses even after their marriage. It was not surprising that she had ended up in such a terrible
state. “I didn’t have a good life after marriage, did I?” “The Radbury Family are not good people, not to mention they’re all snobs!
Ava, we should let bygones be bygones, and since you can’t remember anything, let’s forget about it, alright?” Jessica felt
resentful towards Damien all this while, so she didn’t continue to tell her what happened later on. 2
At Ava’s funeral, the elders of the Radbury family didn’t shed a tear as they only cared if their son was fine. On the other hand,
Jessica didn’t really care about Karen. She didn’t want to be involved with the Radbury family anymore. “Ava, we’ll live a
peaceful life together from now on. We don’t have to think about those heartless people, okay?” 10 Ava nodded, and her heart
ached when she saw tears welling up in her mother’s eyes. Indeed, she might not want to return to the past, and thus her head
suppressed the old memories. She would look towards the future instead. She hugged her mother tightly and silently for some
time.
Two days later.
Ava received Radbury Group’s final interview notice. She hesitated on whether she should go for it.
After all, the job had been introduced by Enrico, the family member of Radbury family. Wasn’t Damien the CEO of the Radbury
Group? How could she work under Damien’s eyes?
