Chapter 1: Ryan, you will regret it.

In London, afternoon.

"Vivian, are you okay?" When the man saw Ava Brooks, only a momentary look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then soon, he shifted his focus to the woman on the ground.

"Ryan, Vivian, she... she's bleeding. She was just pushed to the ground by this woman." The little assistant beside said tremblingly while pointing at Ava standing on the side.

Ava was also in a daze. She didn't expect to meet Ryan here. At this moment, she just stood there, motionless and stiff all over.

This man is called Ryan Mason. He is her ex-boyfriend. To be precise, they were not boyfriend and girlfriend. It was just some kind of transactional relationship. And now, the transaction is over. He doesn't need her anymore.

The one lying on the ground and pretending to fall is his current wife, the daughter of the Horizon Group and also his first love, Vivian Dawson.

Ava didn't know that this woman was already pregnant.

She swore that she hadn't even touched this woman. She just watched Vivian fall down by herself.

However, after hearing the assistant's words, Ryan's expression changed drastically. After a look of disgust fell on Ava for just a moment, he hurriedly squatted down to check on Vivian's condition.

"Vivian, cheer up. How are you?"

Vivian opened her eyes weakly and tried to hold his hand. "Ryan, I... I have a terrible pain in my stomach..."

Soon, the ambulance arrived. Ryan carefully picked up Vivian by the waist and walked step by step towards the ambulance. It wasn't until Vivian was sent away by the ambulance that Ryan returned to the place just now.

"Why did you do this?" The man's tone was icy, as if he was talking to a complete stranger.

"I didn't push her."

"Check the surveillance." Seeing her so certain and showing no sign of admitting it, Ryan's lips curled up in a hint of sarcasm. Then he said faintly.

The hotel manager responded and immediately went to retrieve the surveillance footage. Unfortunately, Vivian's back was facing the surveillance camera in the picture. It was impossible to see exactly what had happened on that side. Judging solely from the video, it did seem to show that her fall was related to Ava.

Those who didn't want to believe her could condemn her to death with just these few seconds. They wouldn't bother to think it through carefully.

"What else do you have to say?" As expected, Ryan's devilish voice suddenly rang out. He was the one who wanted to condemn her to death so arbitrarily.

Ava was completely unable to defend herself. "This surveillance footage is not clear at all. Most of her body is blocking the camera. What can be seen? Besides, why would I push her for no reason? What's the reason?"

As soon as these words came out, Ava herself felt that they had changed in meaning. What else could the reason be? Wouldn't that man think it was her jealousy?

"Ryan, what should we do with this woman?"

"Call the police." His indifferent attitude was as if he was dealing with a complete stranger with no connection at all. "Since you said it's not clear, then call the police. They will always use the most fair way to judge."

"Ryan, are you sure you want to call the police?" The assistant beside was taken aback and asked carefully. "Isn't it a bit of an overreaction?"

"I don't want to say it a second time."

Hearing this, Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly. The dangerous gaze slowly fell on him. The assistant stiffened behind him and immediately said nothing more.

Soon, the police arrived. Seeing that Ryan was also here, they had a general idea. After simply understanding the situation and looking at the surveillance footage, they put handcuffs on Ava in front of everyone without any explanation.

"Come on, Miss Ava." The police were about to escort her out.

However, Ava still stood motionless. She understood that the police were just doing this for that man. They wouldn't care whether she was guilty or not.

Seeing this, the police frowned. "Miss Ava, don't make it difficult for us."

Ava sneered in her heart. Looking back, her cold gaze finally fell on Ryan. There was a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Ryan, you will regret it."

Later, two policemen immediately escorted her out on either side and put her in the police car.

Ryan stared at her back as it gradually disappeared from his sight. For some reason, his heart stirred. Some complicated emotions welled up.

But in the next second, he suppressed this emotion. The disgust for her filled his heart again. He was extremely disappointed in this woman.

At the moment before getting into the police car, the cold feeling of the handcuffs on her wrist clearly transmitted. Ava reminded herself that it was Ryan. That man had personally ordered the police and sent her to the police station.

Her heart ached like being cut by a knife. Was this the man she had been deeply in love with all this time? Now, for another woman, he had easily sentenced her to "death".

Evil fate. Truly an evil fate.

Ava couldn't help but wonder if time could be turned back, would she still choose to approach him on that night and ask him to help her?

Ava lowered her head and curved her lips bitterly. She didn't know.
