Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 377

S3 120. Point Number Two 

‘Remember point number two, Ava. You can’t feel small or inferior. Jeremy is behind you. So, don’t be afraid to fight back if someone is bullying you,” Ava said repeatedly to herself. Those sentences were like a mantra to her. 

Five steps from the gate, Ava exhaled quickly. “You guys ready?” Her head turned slightly. 

Two men behind her answered in unison, “Ready, Miss.” 

While straightening her posture, Ava walked over to her sister. 

“Well, well…” Eva folded her arms across her chest. Her gaze was cynical, her lips twitched in disgust. “I thought you were done bullying me in the boutique. Turns out, you want to bully me here too?” 

Ava stopped walking with a firm expression. She and Eva were now only one meter apart, separated by beautifully carved iron bars. 

“Don’t distort the facts or make things up. I never bullied you.” 

Eva snorted. “If you don’t mean to bully me, then why don’t you let n in? I’m almost getting moldy here. But instead, you’re enjoying you lunch and approaching me with graceful steps.” 

Eva’s eyes went up and down, examining her sister from head to toe. Her cheeks scrunched up. “Do you think you are an empress? You want to show off that your life is happy now? Or are you deliberately stalling for time? You don’t like seeing me successfully manage my boutique. You are jealous because I am an independent woman, 

unlike you who can only rely on men” 

“Save your nonsense. It’s not me who forbade you from entering, but Mr. Harper, the owner of this house. I have no authority to dispute his 

orders.” 

“Are you sure you don’t have the authority?” Eva raised an eyebrow. “I think with a little persuasion, you can control him. He must be happy to make your wishes come true. Look, he even gave you two personal bodyguards. And judging from your haughty behavior, you must feel like you are the mistress of the house.” 

Ava took a deep breath. Her body felt stiff, but she tried not to show it. 

“If you want to cause a scene, you’d better go home. Mister Harper forbids you from entering not because I asked him to. He just wants to protect his residence from threats.” 

“Threats?” Eva let out a bitter laugh “I came here to visit my mother, but you think I’m a threat? Don’t tell me this is just a ploy to keep me away from Mom.” 

Ava furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure. “I never had such intention. You want to take Mom completely for you? Go ahead. I don’t care anymore.” 

Ava’s tongue felt numb after saying that. But strangely, her heart actually felt relief. It’s like a huge burden had been removed from 

Meanwhile, Eva’s expression froze She didn’t expect to hear thos words from “cowardly Ava”. 

“What do you mean? You want to throw the responsibility of taking care of her on me?” 

“My priority now is just being filial. That’s the reason why I take care of her here. But, even if my efforts are not appreciated, I have nothing to lose. I have realized that her affection does not make me a better person. I can still live without it.” 

Raising her chin, Ava moved closer to the gate. She let her sister see her firmness more clearly. 

“I’m still me. Ava Connor. I don’t want to think my life is bitter just because my mother was taken by someone else. There’s still a lot of love I can get from the people around me. My new family.” 

Eva snorted in disbelief. Her eyes trembled in response to Ava’s 

straight gaze. 

“Why are you so arrogant? You’re just a mistress, but you’re already acting like this. Do you think they seriously consider you as family?” 

While gripping the bars, Eva brought her head forward. 

“You’re wrong, Ava. That’s just small talk. They are a prominent family. It’s impossible for them to consider a stiff and unattractive woman like you as one of them. They said that to cover up their shame. Once Jeremy Harper becomes aware that your relationship is not right, he will definitely throw you away.” 

Ava’s chest felt like it was burning. Her heart was hot, the air in her lungs vibrated violently. She didn’t like the way Eva looked down on her. With her hands clenched tightly, she finally spoke louder. 

“You’re the one who’s wrong. I’m not a stiff woman. I’m a principl woman who doesn’t casually get along with men. And I’m not an unattractive girl. The proof is I have a boyfriend who really loves me 

Eva blinked. Her eyes became even bigger. “Did you just admit that you were Mr. Harper’s secret lover?” 

“You can’t consider me as his secret lover, Eva. Jeremy Harper has no romantic relationship with any woman other than me. He doesn’t cheat on anyone. I am the only woman in his heart.” 

Eva gaped wide. She blinked in disbelief. After gathering her wits, she laughed disdainfully. 

“Gosh! How confident are you? You think Mr. Harper really loves you? Don’t dream, Ava. He just likes your body. You serve him every night, 

right? No 

Avs wonder he’s addicted to you.” 

Ava looked at her sister with a flat expression, waiting until her laughter died down. However, Eva laughed even louder. 

“How could you believe such a great guy could be interested in you-a substandard girl? You’re so funny. Even fairy tales aren’t this impossible.” 

While Eva laughed while holding her stomach, Ava let out a faint sigh. She started to feel sick of her sister. She was sick of hearing the words that came out of that big mouth. 

“There is nothing impossible in this world, Eva. Jeremy is in love with me. He even plans to marry me. So I remind you. Don’t ever put me down again. Insulting me is the same as insulting Jeremy’s choices. He definitely won’t accept you belittling his tastes.”
