Internet Breaking: The Powerful CEO Reveals His Supermodel Wife-Chapter 548: Likes Jace Kingsley

Ava froze for a moment and immediately looked over.

The door opened, and a person in a shirt and suit, standing tall, walked in from the outside.

He had his suit jacket draped over his arm, and his other hand was holding the doorknob.

As the door opened, he walked in.

However, upon seeing the person sitting on the sofa stiffly looking at him with a phone in hand, he stopped in his tracks.

He halted at the doorway.

His gaze fell on the dazed person’s face, and the moment he appeared, her face turned pale.

It was as if she had seen something terrifying, and she was instantly scared.

Instinctively, there was no disguise.

Poe Vaughn’s aura changed; the depth in his eyes darkened in an instant, like suddenly rolling dark clouds on a clear day.

Extremely frightening.

Ava sensed the change in Poe Vaughn’s aura, her heart trembled, and she immediately came to herself.

She withdrew her gaze and quickly said to Lauren on the phone, "That’s all for now." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

With a snap, she quickly hung up the call and turned to look at Poe Vaughn.

As Ava withdrew her gaze to speak to the person on the phone, Poe Vaughn’s eyes moved.

The previously rolling dark clouds disappeared, that terrifying dark hell vanished, and he returned to his usual self, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

He stepped forward with steady steps, his gaze landing on Ava’s phone.

Ava didn’t expect Poe Vaughn to return just when Lauren called her, startling her greatly.

It was as if she had seen the Grim Reaper, a trembling in her heart.

However, very quickly, Ava regained her composure.

She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why panic? Why fear?

Don’t panic, don’t fear!

Seeing Poe Vaughn approaching, especially with his current expression, Ava’s eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise.

Just moments ago, he seemed ready to devour her, but now he’s changed?

Acting like nothing happened, as if nothing had occurred.

Ava clearly saw Poe Vaughn’s transformation just now, that moment’s sensation was extremely strong.

Therefore, even though Poe Vaughn appeared calm now, Ava’s heart did not dare to relax in the slightest.

What she saw was not an illusion; it was real.

Looking at the person walking towards her, her mind raced with thoughts.

Does Poe Vaughn know?

Now there are rumors about her and Jace Kingsley all over the country; as a business figure, he might not know, right?

However, Poe Vaughn might not know, but those around him surely must, right?

The old lady, Aunt You, Aunt Wei, the Vaughn Family members, including Poe Vaughn’s special assistant, Quentin Quinn, they couldn’t possibly be unaware.

So, would they have told him?

At this moment, thinking of these many people, Ava’s heart instantly sank to the bottom, a seriousness.

Yes, seriousness.

This is a very serious issue.

She didn’t expect herself to be embroiled in a scandal, and a major one at that.

And now, Poe Vaughn returned just in time for this, especially considering his earlier change in expression.

Ava felt that Poe Vaughn knew.

He must know.

Therefore, time is of the essence, she must quickly explain, not allowing Poe Vaughn to misunderstand.

Although it’s a matter of day and night for Poe Vaughn to end things with her, things must still be clarified.

Thinking that, Ava instantly grew solemn and earnest, she immediately got up and went straight to Poe Vaughn.

Very quickly, she stood firmly before him, solemnly saying, "Poe Vaughn, I have something to tell you."

Ava looked as if something big was happening, as if the sky might fall any moment, making her address it with utmost seriousness.

Poe Vaughn walked forward, his gaze falling upon her face, clearly seeing the change in her expression.

From fear to rationality, then to firmness, consideration, doubt, her face no longer held any trace of fear; all it showed was confidence, certainty, determination.

She did not evade, did not fear, did not retreat.

She had something to say and she was going to say it, without the slightest hesitation.

Like this straightforward and open version of herself at this moment.

Poe Vaughn looked at the person in front of him, watching her seriousness and solemnity, and the righteous straightforwardness with which she treated this, holding it in high regard.

He responded with a soft "hmm," acknowledging her.

And this response was, as usual, without emotional fluctuation, without anger or joy.

He appeared without the slightest hint of anything unusual.

Ava received Poe Vaughn’s response, and especially now, meeting his profound gaze, she clearly saw its depth and calmness.

Just like a dark river, its surface shows no sign of movement, yet it is always flowing.

And you, unaware of the depth of this dark river.

Ava Sterling, at this moment, could confirm that Poe Vaughn knew, no evidence, but intuition told her he indeed knew.

But he didn’t get angry with her, still the same as usual, no change.

Ava didn’t know if he truly didn’t care, or if he cared but didn’t show it, but no matter which, Ava had to make things clear.

With this thought, Ava’s body gained more strength.

She looked into Poe Vaughn’s eyes, without a hint of evasion, and said very earnestly: "My assistant, Lauren Howell, just called me."

"She told me I’ve caused a scandal; the entire internet is now filled with rumors about me and Jace Kingsley."

"Which is to say, my former friend, and the owner of a tourism project I’m endorsing for Omnisphere Group."

"Yesterday, Omnisphere Group released the advertisement for the tourism project I endorsed. Yesterday everything was fine, but today, somehow, things exploded, including a rumor about me and Jace Kingsley, saying we are lovers, a couple."

"But we’re not, we’ve never been a couple, not in the past, not now, in the future..."

Ava’s words paused for a moment, as her brows furrowed.

Because, who can tell what the future holds? She dared not make an absolute statement, especially concerning a word with countless uncertain factors like the future.

As Ava paused, Poe Vaughn’s calm eyes slightly narrowed.

The atmosphere shifted, as if suddenly cast in shadow like his eyes at that moment.

However, he remained silent, watching Ava, observing the changes in her expression.

Hesitant, uncertain, doubtful.

As if telling him that she never was with Jace Kingsley, isn’t with him now, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be in the future.

She was clearly conveying what was currently on her mind.

Poe Vaughn’s eyes narrowed, and the surrounding temperature noticeably dropped.

At that moment, he spoke: "What about the future?"

The deep voice fell into her ears, betraying no emotion, but, if listening closely, one could detect a tone deeper than before.

Ava heard Poe Vaughn’s words, snapped back to attention, realizing she had suddenly stopped, and immediately answered: "I am not sure about the future."

"After all, we are married by contract, you couldn’t possibly be tied to me forever by this agreement."

"No, to be precise, you certainly couldn’t keep marrying me, you have to marry someone better."

"Someone who matches you, with a better family background, a better personality."

"When that time comes, when we part ways, divorce, our lives will have no further intersection, and whatever the future holds, it naturally has nothing to do with each other."

Ava spoke very rationally and calmly, without the slightest pause.

She was rather straightforward, candid, realistic.

Because she was right in what she said; they were bound by a contract marriage, Poe Vaughn couldn’t possibly restrict himself by marrying a woman unsuitable for him just because of some agreement.

He is bound to seek someone better.

As for now, it’s merely to placate the old grandmother.

However, after Ava finished speaking, she felt something was off.

She felt that what she said came off as too realistic, not good.

It seemed as if she wanted a divorce, wanted to leave him to explore a broader life.

So, Ava quickly changed her expression, becoming all smiles, and said: "That’s all for the future."

"I don’t know what lies ahead, right now let’s not talk about the future, let’s talk about the present."

"Present, huh."

The smile carried a hint of appeasement and cautiousness, fearing Poe Vaughn’s anger.

After all, her current situation was at a disadvantage.

Yet, in such circumstances, she still lacked restraint, stubbornly saying whatever came to her mind.

Truly inappropriate.

In her mind, Ava cursed herself again, her face full of smiles, clearly hoping Poe Vaughn wouldn’t take her previous words seriously.

After she spoke, Poe Vaughn remained silent.

But his eyes were deeply fixed on Ava, their darkness like a deep ocean of ink, threatening to drown her.

Ava looked at Poe Vaughn’s demeanor, her smile gradually growing stiff.

She couldn’t smile anymore.

She felt she had misspoken, thinking he was about to get angry.

What to do now?

With this thought, Ava began to feel a headache, her expression turning anxious and unhappy.

Seriously, who on earth, instead of digging up celebrity gossip, bothered to dig up dirt on a model like her? Truly nothing better to do!

Once this crisis is over, she would definitely investigate who was behind such a plot against her.

If she found out, she would never let that person off!

At that moment, Ava’s eyes narrowed, her fists clenched tightly, her expression full of a dangerous readiness to pounce.

No longer tense or afraid at all.

Poe Vaughn looked at Ava’s rapidly shifting expression, particularly her furious, ready-to-explode look, he opened his mouth: "Do you like Jace Kingsley?"
