Internet Breaking: The Powerful CEO Reveals His Supermodel Wife-Chapter 559: Half True, Half False

"By the way, where is Ava now?"

Previously, Eric didn’t know about Ava Sterling leaving Aethelburg for Saipan Island. After all, she was very busy and couldn’t possibly keep track of Ava Sterling’s whereabouts every day.

And neither Lauren Howell nor Ava Sterling mentioned it to her specifically.

As long as there was no incident, there was no need to inform Eric.

However, now that the rumors about Ava Sterling and Jace Kingsley had surfaced, Eric immediately called Lauren Howell upon hearing the news to inquire about the situation. It was only after asking that she learned Ava Sterling was not at the company and was on leave.

At the time, because Eric was busy catching a flight, she didn’t ask for details.

Now, Eric suddenly remembered and decided to ask.

Moreover, she felt something was off.

Lauren Howell thought everything was settled, the crisis was resolved, and left with great relief.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to reach the door and grasp the doorknob, Eric called out to her and asked this fatal question.

Previously, Lauren Howell had never expected Eric to ask about Ava Sterling’s whereabouts, considering Eric wasn’t someone who constantly kept track of Ava Sterling’s schedule.

But who knew rumors would suddenly break out, spreading everywhere, leaving her completely unsure of what to say.

Now that Eric had brought up this question, even quick-thinking Lauren Howell didn’t know how to answer it.

This question was truly difficult to answer.

If she lied, it could easily be exposed, but if she didn’t lie, Eric would certainly sense something was up. What should she do?

At this moment, Lauren Howell’s mind was racing, trying to figure out a solution. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

And Eric, having asked the question, looked at Lauren Howell, waiting for her to respond.

But before Lauren Howell could answer, her phone rang.

The melodious ringtone filled the office, and in an instant, Lauren Howell had an idea.

Lauren Howell turned and said, "Eric, Ava is currently on Saipan Island. She suddenly contacted me the day before yesterday, saying she had to leave Aethelburg for a while. She didn’t specify what it was about. I planned to ask, but every time I did, she got upset. So I had no choice but to rearrange classes with the teachers for the models and wait for Ava to come back once she’s handled her affairs."

When Lauren Howell said this, her brow furrowed, her eyes full of concern, completely devoid of any signs of deceit.

Eric, hearing the phone ring, picked it up with displeasure to check the caller, and subsequently heard Lauren Howell’s response.

Eric looked at Lauren Howell and saw a face full of genuine worry, not resembling a liar’s at all.

"You said she took leave the day before yesterday?"

"Yes, in the evening. I don’t know what happened. Ava won’t tell me, and these past few days I’ve been on edge. If I couldn’t contact her, I would’ve come looking for you."

Eric frowned, "Does it have anything to do with Jace Kingsley?"

Lauren Howell immediately shook her head, "Impossible. Ava long ago severed ties with Young Master Kingsley and won’t have any contact with him anymore."

"This I can confirm."

The phone kept ringing, vibrating in Eric’s hand as she didn’t answer.

Eric originally wanted to ask further questions, but Lauren Howell’s answers seemed adequate. Even though Eric had suspicions, she couldn’t find any flaws, and the persistent phone ringing indicated that someone needed to reach her.

So Eric said, "I understand. You can go back to your work."

"Okay, Eric."

Lauren Howell quickly opened the door and left.

Swiftly.

If she didn’t leave soon, she feared Eric would ask more questions she couldn’t answer, which would be troublesome.

The office door opened and closed quickly. Eric didn’t look at Lauren Howell again but answered the call to handle work.

She had many tasks, very busy, especially with the sudden scandal involving Ava Sterling, which increased her workload.

For a long time, Eric finished the call, and the office was once again occupied only by Eric herself.

Lauren Howell had long disappeared.

Eric stood there, holding her phone, meticulously recalling what Lauren Howell had just told her.

Initially, she had some doubts about what Lauren Howell said, but by the end, she almost didn’t doubt anymore.

Especially the last few sentences, Eric felt Lauren Howell wasn’t hiding anything from her.

Ava was just like that; if she didn’t want to tell you something, she absolutely wouldn’t say it, and sometimes she would even completely vanish, unable to be reached.

This kind of situation had happened before.

However, whether this time involved Jace Kingsley or not remained uncertain.

But there was one thing Eric could confirm.

To avoid any negative consequences that might arise, she had to communicate with Omnisphere’s tourism project leader to understand their mindset and situation.

If any adverse public opinion emerged, how it should be managed.

With this in mind, Eric no longer hesitated and directly called the tourism project leader at Omnisphere.

Meanwhile, at Miraport.

In the Omnisphere Group’s president’s office.
