Her records had sold over a million copies, making her one of the top singers in America. She was a regular on MTV broadcasts on ABC TV.
Then they looked at the man.
Young and handsome.
Some didn't recognize Hardy and whispered to their companions, "is Gardner dating a pretty boy?"
Their companion gave them a disdainful look. "That's Mr. Jon Hardy, the owner of ABC. Recently, the newspapers reported that he acquired Wells Fargo Bank. His assets must be in the billions now."
"A billion? My God."
Although those dining in the restaurant were wealthy, they couldn't compare to a billionaire.
Such a man dating such a beautiful woman seemed entirely normal to everyone.
Ava sat down.
She lovingly touched the necklace around her neck.
When Hardy had given her the necklace, she had screamed with excitement. After he put it on her, she had run to the mirror to look at it immediately.
