Chapter 734 Ava Got Into a Fight

He had a confident smile, holding me tighter. "Alright, our task now is to sleep. You're heading to Bourdamun tomorrow, right? The matters in Bourdamun are crucial. Other things can wait." Without further ado, he lifted me and carried me into the bedroom, placing me on the bed. His hands rested on either side of me as he said, "Get some rest. I have a few things to handle. Sleep, and I'll be back in a moment."

I could only nod. I was genuinely exhausted.

He leaned down and greedily kissed my lips before straightening up, turning off the bedroom lights, and quietly exiting.

Watching him disappear from my sight, I felt a slight sense of loss. I wanted to spend the night with him.

I snuggled under the covers. I had to go to Bourdamun tomorrow, and a whole day of meetings awaited. The groundbreaking ceremony couldn't be neglected, especially considering its importance. There couldn't be any room for error.

I didn't know what was happening lately. I felt unusually tired.

Perhaps it was due to the drinks tonight, but I quickly drifted into dreamland.

However, an unexpected event the next day made me reconsider the importance of Matthew's situation.

The Bourdamun meeting went exceptionally smoothly. Thanks to Noah's efforts in dealing with Nelson and his cohorts, Bourdamun's situation flourished, and everyone was in high spirits. The morale was united.

Noah's work was progressing smoothly, and he was determined to turn this new city into a benchmark city, given higher-ups' increased focus and support.

The plan was to build the city according to the original layout, but with an expansion to create a thoroughly contemporary city.

This piece of good news exhilarated me. I hadn't expected Atticus's words to be true. It was a key development, indicating that the project I was working on would result in an entirely new metropolis, not just a new district in Bourdamun.

After the meeting, Noah suggested that we celebrate with dinner, but many matters were awaiting my attention back in Foswood.

With Ryan away and Carol accompanying me, I was anxious about the company's affairs. Besides, I had made plans with Adrian to discuss Matthew's case in the evening, and I couldn't afford to miss that.

So, I explained the situation to Noah and politely declined. However, we agreed to celebrate over dinner after the groundbreaking ceremony.

In the car, Carol screamed excitedly, "Oh my God, Chlo, this feels like a dream! Pinch me. I need to check if it's real. Tanum is really taking off!"

She exclaimed, "Think about it. A few

years from now, a completely modern city will stand tall here, entirely designed, built, and planned by us My God! I can't believe itÈven Pinnacle Group has not constructed an entire city.

"They were merely dealing with large-scale development projects, but we're about to create a city! Won't we be industry pioneers?"

Caught in her infectious enthusiasm, I felt my heart pounding intensely. I hadn't expected such a streak of good luck. This was all thanks to Atlas.

I couldn't wait to call him and share this great news.

But before could dial his number, received a call from the kindergarten teacher, saying that Ava had gotten into a fight with another child and sustained some minor injuries.

I was immediately alarmed. Ava, in a fight?

I could hardly believe my ears.

Moreover, my daughter was always well-behaved. It was her first time getting into a fight, and besides, wasn't Jenny with her?

They had both been well-behaved girls for such a long time. How did they end up in a fight?

I pressed the teacher for details, but she hesitated and refused to discuss it on the phone. I instructed Carol to hurry, and I rushed straight to the kindergarten. When I anxiously arrived at the kindergarten with Carol, we hurried into the teacher's office.

To my surprise, several parents were inside, all wearing expressions of disdain and contempt, shielding their children.

Glancing around, I spotted my daughter.

Her clothes were torn, her hair was messy, and several scratch marks were on her little face. Next to her was Jenny, who didn't fare much better. At that moment, she was holding Ava protectively.

As soon as Ava saw me rush in, she burst into tears and ran into my arms. Jenny also approached, her face grimacing in a pained expression as she cried.
