Chapter 278

Chapter 278:

Fernanda seemed to anticipate every move and every strategy she considered. Outsmarting Fernanda was no longer an option.

Conceding that caution was wiser, Ava quickly decided to ensure her own safety first.

She hastily bid Joselyn and Hunk goodbye and made her way to the boarding gate.

Her rapid departure resembled a retreat.

It was only after Ava had vanished that Joselyn allowed her tears to flow.

Facing Fernanda, she asked, “Are you pleased with yourself for chasing Ava off p>

“Absolutely,” Fernanda replied confidently. “With no one left to cause disturbances, I’m quite content. Really, Mrs. Ross, you should feel some relief too. Having such a daughter is nothing but a series of crises. Do you enjoy continually picking up the pieces? Or perhaps your stake in Ross Group is so large that you can afford the losses p>

Joselyn bristled at Fernanda’s sharp-tongued critique.

Fernanda concluded the exchange and turned to walk away.

Her hands rested nonchalantly in her pockets, her relaxed stance indicating she was in high spirits.

She hummed a few bars of a tune, clearly pleased.

Joselyn, however, was seething to the point that her sight became fuzzy.

She noticed Hunk nearby, absorbed in something on his phone.

“Hunk, about Ava p>

“Oh, Cristian really is a man of his word!” Hunk cut her off, his voice filled with enthusiasm as he thrust his phone towards her. “Check this out—the project deal is almost ours! Cristian said he’d make it happen, and he kept his word p>

This project was crucial for the profitability of Ross Group in both the immediate and foreseeable future, which explained Hunk’s happiness.

For him, the success of the company was always the priority.

His daughter was moving abroad? It was no big deal. Perhaps, he reasoned, it would do her good to shed some of her impulsivity.

As long as the business thrived, he was satisfied.

Joselyn had once admired her husband’s dedication to his career, believing it secured a prosperous life for their family.

But now, she felt a coldness in her heart.

Their daughter had just departed, yet Hunk appeared undisturbed.

Was he oblivious to how devastated she was and how much she craved his support at that moment? Instead, he was already discussing the company’s future initiatives, praising Cristian for his reliability.

Wasn’t it Cristian’s threats that had necessitated their daughter’s departure?

Joselyn found it impossible to feign happiness.

“We need to head back for a meeting,” Hunk added, moving towards the car without waiting for her response.

As Joselyn watched Hunk walk away, her sense of disappointment deepened.
