Chapter 607 I'll Ask Him Myself
As soon as Brady left, he didn't bother to check on Ava, and neither did Michael. Everyone was holding back their anger, planning to teach her a lesson for her arrogance and reckless behavior.
Apart from the people at the company, no one came to visit her. The hospital room was as quiet as a tomb.
For the first time, Ava felt a sense of loneliness and despair.
But the worst was yet to come. Her husband, who had always doted on her, not only didn't visit her once during her recovery but also sent a lawyer with divorce papers after she had been resting for half a month.
This was a huge blow to Ava.
She couldn't believe that her husband, who had always adored her, would divorce her for that lowly daughter-in-law and child.
Ava refused to believe it, so she tore up the divorce papers as soon as she received them.
"Go back and tell Michael, I won't divorce him! Unless he tells me himself, what's the point of sending a lawyer?" she demanded.
"Mrs. Hall, Mr. Hall has been very busy lately," the lawyer nodded slightly, not daring to offend her too much.
Even though Michael wanted a divorce, Ava was not someone to be trifled with.
"Busy? His business is all overseas, and it's his son who's busy domestically. What could he be busy with?" Ava didn't believe it. Was he just avoiding her?
"Mrs. Hall, this is Mr. Hall's private matter. I really don't know," the lawyer replied respectfully again.
Before he could finish, Ava, who was already able to get out of bed and walk, took a few steps towards the lawyer and slapped him hard, saying viciously, "Helping him hide things from me? Do you dare say you don't know?"
The lawyer stepped back instantly, covering his face, and said, "Mrs. Hall, I really don't know."
"Fine, you won't say? Then I'll ask him myself." Ava said, pulling out her phone to call Michael. But the call was immediately hung up.
She tried again, but it was still hung up.
Now, she was furious. She put down the phone and immediately demanded from the lawyer, "Where is he now? Why isn't he answering my calls?"
"Mrs. Hall, I really don't know," the lawyer was now visibly shaken by her slap.
Ava sneered, "Fine, you won't say?"
"Then I'll make you regret it." With that, Ava turned and went to the window. This was a high-end hospital room, so the windows could be fully opened, unlike the lower floors where they were only allowed to open a crack to prevent jumping accidents.
VIP rooms were for distinguished guests, and almost no one would consider suicide.
So Ava climbed onto the window and threatened the lawyer, "If you don't tell me, I'll jump right now. Then let's see how you explain this!"
The lawyer was on the verge of losing his mind!
With Ava doing this, how could he not speak?
"Mrs. Hall, please don't be impulsive. Come down first, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Only then did Ava jump down from the window and say, "Speak, where is he?"
The lawyer adjusted his glasses and replied truthfully, "Mr. Hall recently invested in a place called The Sterling Society on Spring Street, so he's been very busy."
After he finished, Ava coldly said, "Get out."
The lawyer nodded and quickly left.
Ava stood there for a moment, then immediately called her assistant to bring her a change of clothes. She was going to The Sterling Society.
Meanwhile, at The Sterling Society.
Michael was teaching a young girl how to brew coffee.
The process of brewing coffee was complex; the water temperature, the timing of adding the coffee beans, and other factors could affect the taste.
Michael had no other hobbies; his favorite pastime was studying coffee.
That's why he had set up The Sterling Society. If he divorced Ava, he wouldn't take her to America, and he could stay here to be with his adorable grandchildren.
Despite being in his fifties, Michael looked very young due to years of self-care.
So, as he taught the young girl, she looked at him with a bit of admiration, completely captivated. Michael didn't notice this, but Ava did when she stormed in to confront him.
She stood stunned at the entrance of The Sterling Society, angrily watching the young girl gaze at Michael with infatuation.
