Love In Between

CHAPTER 36

Ava was furious, she couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She felt like her whole world had come crashing down around her. She turned on Bruce, insulting him and calling him names. “You’re nothing but a liar and a traitor! I can’t believe I ever trusted you!” she screamed at him.

Tears streaming down her face, she storms off, leaving Bruce standing there, staring after her in shock and dismay. She couldn’t bear to be near him, not after what she had just heard.

She quickly pulled out her phone and called Mason, demanding answers. But Mason refused to answer, instead, he hung up on her. Ava was relentless, she called him back again and again, but he wouldn’t pick up. She was determined to get to the bottom of what was happening and find out who was behind the sabotage of her company.

Ava was relentless, she wouldn’t rest until she got the answers she needed. She knew that Mason was the key to figuring out what was happening with her company, and she wasn’t going to let him get away with it.

She marched into his office, her eyes blazing with determination. “We need to talk,” she said, her voice cold and steady.

Mason tried to play it cool, “Sure, what’s on your mind?” he said, trying to act like everything was normal.

But Ava wasn’t fooled. “Don’t play dumb with me, Mason,” she said. “I know what you’ve been doing, and I want to know why.”

Mason’s expression shifted, a flicker of anger crossing his face. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, his voice tight.

But Ava wasn’t backing down. “Don’t lie to me, Mason. I know you’ve been embezzling money from the company,” she said, her voice filled with anger.

Mason’s facade crumbled, and he erupted in anger, “Fine! You want the truth? The company is on the verge of wreckage already. I had to do something to save it! And it’s not like anyone will miss a little bit of money.” He said in a way that makes it as if he’s doing the correct thing.

Ava was horrified, she couldn’t

Ava’s mind was racing as she tried to process everything Mason had just told her. She knew she had to keep a clear head and get the answers she needed. She took a deep breath and asked him, “What about the deal to sell the company? Is that your doing too?”

Mason hesitated for a moment, his expression shifting. He avoided her gaze, and she could tell that he was holding something back. She could feel her anger and frustration building, but she fought the urge to slap him. Instead, she glared at him, her eyes boring into his, demanding the truth.

Finally, he opened up, “Fine. Yes, I was the one trying to sell the company. I knew it was failing and I saw an opportunity to make a quick buck,” he said, his voice filled with a hint of regret and a tinge of sarcasm.

Ava was horrified, she couldn’t believe that he would try to sell her family’s legacy to the highest bidder without her knowledge or consent. She couldn’t contain her anger anymore and she let out a scream of fury, “How dare you! You had no right to try to sell the company without my knowledge or consent!”

Mason starts to explain that he needed money to balance things up and that’s why he decided to sell secrets of the company. But Ava was having none of it. She told him that he was simply ruining the company more by his actions. But Mason was nonchalant, he didn’t seem to care about the consequences of his actions.

“You don’t understand Ava, I need this money,” Mason said, his voice filled with desperation.

“You’re not understanding Mason, You are only making things worse for the company. The company is in a delicate state and what you’re doing is only weakening it even more,” Ava retorted, trying to make him see reason.

But Mason was not listening, “You’re not the CEO anymore Ava, you have no say in this matter,” he said dismissively.

Ava was furious, she couldn’t believe he was so willing to throw everything away for his own selfish gain. She knew she had to stop him before he could cause any more damage but she had no idea how, at the moment.

Ava walked out of Mason’s office enraged, her mind was a jumbled mess of anger and betrayal. She couldn’t believe that someone she trusted, someone who worked for her family’s company, could do something so heinous. She went home, her mind consumed with thoughts of what to do next.

For the next few days, she sulked around her home, her mind consumed with thoughts of how to fix the damage that Mason had done. She knew she had to act fast before the company was irreparably damaged.

She spent her time researching, making calls, and trying to come up with a plan.

After several days of thinking and researching, Ava finally comes up with a plan to take down Mason and save her company. She knew that she couldn’t do it alone, she needed help from someone she trusted, someone who knew the company inside and out.

She thought about her uncle, whom she hadn’t spoken to in a long while. He was a respected businessman and had been a mentor to her since she was a child. She knew that he would be able to help her navigate the complex world of business and come up with a plan to take down Mason.

She picked up the phone and dialed her uncle’s number. “Uncle, it’s Ava, I need your help,” she said, her voice filled with determination.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Her uncle was surprised but happy to hear from her, “Of course, Ava, whatever you need, I’ll be there,” he replied.

When Ava met her uncle the next day, he listened carefully as she explained her plan to take down Mason and save the company. But her uncle shook his head, “I’m sorry Ava, but it’s almost impossible to do so, the company is in a very delicate state, and it’s going to take a lot of work to fix it,” he said, his voice filled with concern.

Ava disagreed, she knew that with the right plan and the right people, they could turn things around. She pulled out her phone and played the recorded conversation she had with Mason, in which he admits to embezzling money and trying to sell the company.
