Recently, she had been investigating Ava and Nathan's impending divorce, which emboldened her to speak out in front of Nathan today. However, she ended up shooting herself in the foot.

"Nathan, you've truly grown up. I'm very pleased."
Nathan smiled faintly, not responding verbally. Ava, though shocked, felt a surge of worry for Nathan, fearing he had offended both Hill Group and King Group because of her.
