Tobias sealed his lips, as he despised the idea of causing any harm to Avery in front of everyone. However, he simply couldn’t bear to witness Avery putting her life on the line just to rescue Abel.“Avery is pregnant, and that was why we fought earlier. Now you know why I gave her those shoes.” Lucy said.“Why discuss the babies at this time?” Avery thought, her heart burning in anger. She stared at Lucy in contempt.“Donating your blood won’t help the babies,” Lucy said, ignoring her murderous glare.“Are you responsible for her pregnancy?” Adam asked Tobias, his face burning in rage as he glared at him.“Answer me, did you get her pregnant “Tobias dotted on Avery, and she was comfortable with him. Could that mean he was the father of her baby?When Tobias didn’t talk, Adam shoved him to the wall and then landed a punch on his cheeks. Adam seized Tobias by the collar and raised him, causing his feet to hover slightly above the ground. How did he find out about her pregnancy if he

Avery came into Abel’s room and found him sleeping peacefully. It has been ages since she last saw him like that. His handsome face was calm and peaceful.Despite being asleep, Abel still eludes his charm and power. His stiff demeanor disappeared from him. He looked angelic and cool.Her heart twitched as the thought of sleeping beside him creeps into her mind.“No, I must not overthink things. Just because he foolishly threw himself at the car, doesn’t mean he has changed. Maybe he did that because of Evanston.”Abel couldn’t hide his anger towards Evanston and acted foolishly.“He hates to see me happy. Maybe he thought I would be happy with Evanston,” Avery thought, shuddered, and walked out of the room. Avery was glad that Abel was now safe, but she shouldn’t let her emotions override her reasoning.Avery noticed her brother’s gloomy face as soon as she came out and asked.“What’s wrong?”“We found the driver,” Sebastian said; despite his calm demeanor, Avery noticed his rage.“I

“What you need is a good rest, Avery,” Elvis said.“You're stressed; why not meet Mrs. Heartcut another time?” Lucy suggested.The thought of the murder weighed heavily on Lucy, and she couldn’t allow Avery to linger in the hospital, knowing that the murderer could be nearby. This was the same hospital where Celina was murdered, and Abel was lying helplessly in a bed. How could she not feel uneasy?Lucy was determined to get her best friend out of there before it was too late. “Come on, Avery, listen to us. Let’s get out of here.”“I’m not going anywhere until I see Ms. Heartcut.”******Regina was sobbing when the Clinton siblings entered the room. Upon seeing Avery, she sank to her knees.“Please forgive my husband. He left the hospital undetected, despite his condition. Even the doctors don’t know when he left. I’m so sorry about your friend.”Avery helped Regina to her feet. “It’s not your fault that this happened. I just wonder why Jonathan would do such a thing despite his cond

Goosebumps filled Avery’s body and pain rippled out her soul. Riana killed Celina and wanted her dead.“Are you alright?” Abel asked from the wheelchair where he sat. He broke his waist because of the accident, something he considered as the price of his redemption a deserving punishment for Avery’s broken waist. He had paid the price for her injury.“Jonathan is dead”“What?”Abel was stunned. It was a few hours ago that he received the news of his waking up. Had it not been because of his condition, he would’ve approached the man earlier and found out who hired him to hurt Avery. When Abel woke up the previous day, he learned what had happened from Jason. Someone wanted Avery dead, and the only person to reveal the culprit was Jonathan. How could he die the same day he came out of the coma?“Tobias found Riana leaving his room”Abel clenched his fist on the wheelchair and shut his eyes briefly. Riana, the name he abhors.“You think she killed him?”“I don’t know, I wish I could

Riana felt a wave of relief as she realized her trick was working.Perhaps there is still a chance for her and Abel to reconcile.Once she agreed to be in the hospital, she wasted no time in coming to visit Abel.Abel was seated in a wheelchair with his phone resting on his lap. When Riana stepped in. She quickly knelt before him, gripped his legs, and sobbed. “Please forgive me. It’s unimaginable that I consented to commit such a dreadful act. It was all because of Lucas. My parents needed some money, and Mr. Douglas was kind to offer financial assistance. However, I never knew he had a negative intention. I’m ashamed of myself”Abel gently strokes her hair. Her tears soaked his pants.“To free Lucas from prison, we required funds. When you declined to assist us, we considered selling the house, but Mr. Douglas presented a proposal. My father accepted without doing an investigation to know Douglas’s intentions. I played along and ended up doing what he forced me to do.”Abel wheele

“How could you be so cruel? I will make sure you rot in jail for killing Celina and no one will save you from me,” Avery said“You despicable woman, you are the reason Abel is sitting in that wheelchair. Because of you, he is now in this pitiable condition and he still supports you.“No, Riana, I’m not the cause. Abel was incapacitated because of you. Jonathan was hired to murder me, but Abel ended up hurting me. You have lost Riana because he will never be with you!With fury blazing in her eyes, Riana quickly wrapped her hand around Avery’s neck.“How dare you talk to me in that manner?” The officers and Tobias intercepted and hauled her away “Why were you so cruel? Why murder Celina? She was completely blameless and did nothing wrong. You wanted me, right? Why kill an innocent woman”“She is not innocent. My Treasure Chest was taken by her, and she stubbornly refused to reveal its whereabouts. Because of her, my son’s life is in danger”Riana teared up, she suddenly became weak.

At Mallory Avenue International Airport, Avery stood with her luggage and was ready to leave. Jason stood beside her, his face filled with concern. He couldn’t bear to see her leave all by herself.She hugged Jason and wiped the tiny tears that gathered around her eyes.“I will miss you a lot”Jason pulled her closer and kissed her forehead.“Take care of yourself and the babies.”“I will” “Are you sure you won’t let anyone know about this?” “They won’t let me go. It’s better this way”Avery felt sad. Leaving home wasn’t part of her plans, but she had to do it for the sake of her children, for their good and safety.

"Please don't be irrational, Axel. Please sit down. Let's talk about this,” Abel pleaded.“Sign the document first,” Axel said, pointing to the table where a copy of the document lay.“Sign it, or I will blow her off.”Abel hesitated but finally took the pen on the table and signed his name on the document.“The document is signed. Hand my girl over,” Abel demanded.Axel shoved Aerial toward her parents and grabbed the document. His gun still pointed at them, he quickly scanned the paper, confirming Abel’s signature. A sinister smile spread across his face. He could hardly believe it—he finally owned the Coppers Group.Facing them again, Axel picked up a small canister from his side and began pouring out its contents. Then, he pulled a lighter from his pocket.“What do you plan to do?” Avery asked, her voice trembling.“Isn't it obvious?” Axel smirked. “I'm going to burn this place down. No one will ever find out what happened.”“Why would you do that? I’ve signed the document!” Abel

Avery went into her room and brought back the laptop.After Abel logged in, he noticed an email among a pool of other messages. It was a contract agreement concerning the shares of his company.“Sign the contract, and you will see your daughter,” the message read.“What’s in the document? Open it, let’s see,” Currie said, noticing her brother’s troubled expression. Abel opened the document and stared at the contents in shock.Avery pulled the laptop toward herself and read the agreement on the screen.“He wants seventy-five percent of your company’s shares?” she exclaimed.“I will do anything to bring Aerial back. That’s my promise,” Abel said firmly. Only Douglas could stoop to such devious means. He was the only one who knew Abel had children with Avery. Was this his revenge for destroying his incriminating videos and letting Jason deal with him?“You can’t do that!” Currie protested. “Let’s involve the police. There’s no way you should give up your company. You worked too hard to g

"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that he was your son at the time. After he came to my office a few days ago demanding to see me and calling me his Daddy, I had no choice but to investigate the truth," Abel explained."You went to his office? When was that? How did you even know about him?" Avery asked, her face filled with shock. Turning to Abel, she added, "Were you influencing my kids and turning them against me?""You’ve misunderstood," Abel replied calmly. "I didn’t get to see him that day. He was gone before I could come out of my office. A few days later, I ran into him at his school and tried to learn more about his family, but the boy was so smart—he refused to give me any information. That made me think of the strange woman I had been with at the business meeting years ago. Determined to uncover the truth, I discreetly took a sample of his hair for a DNA test."It was only later, when I saw you pick him up, that I realized you are his mother," he continued, stepping closer to Aver

“I can't leave, I need to look around. She might be somewhere nearby, afraid and waiting for me to come,” Avery said, her voice trembling with tears.“It’s already night, and there’s nothing more we can do right now. Let’s trust the authorities to handle this. Come on, let’s get out of here,” Abel said gently.Just then, Abel’s phone rang. He stepped aside to answer it, returning moments later with a small smile. Without a word, he led Avery back home.---At home, Avery’s son, Aaron, approached hesitantly.“Daddy, will you find Aerial?” Aaron asked softly.“Stop calling him that! He’s not your daddy!” Avery snapped, her voice sharper than she intended.Abel’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I’m sorry, Avery, but don’t you think you’re being too harsh on the boy?” He pulled Aaron into his arms and said, “I promise you with my life, I’ll find Aerial.”“Will you stay with us tonight?” Aaron asked, his small voice filled with hope.“Of course, yes,” Abel replied.“No, you won’t!” Avery

Meanwhile, Currie knelt before Avery, her body shaking as she wept bitterly. The shock of the events had hollowed her out, leaving her an empty shell.“Forgive me, sister Nuu,” Currie sobbed. “I never meant for this to happen. It’s my fault. I should never have brought them here.”“What happened to my daughter, Currie? You’re scaring me!” Avery cried, her voice rising in desperation.Through her tears, Currie tried to explain. “She was playing with the other kids a few feet away while Aaron and I were working on a puzzle. Then suddenly, smoke filled the air. Everything turned chaotic."I grabbed Aaron and ran to look for Aerial, but I couldn’t see anything. The smoke was so thick and black. I pushed forward, calling her name, but the fire broke out before I could reach her."I held onto Aaron tightly, afraid he’d get hurt if I let go. But I was determined to get to Aerial. The crowd shoved me back, everyone panicking and running in different directions."When the fire intensified, I t

Chapter 158“I hope they are mine,” Abel thought to himself. The possibility lifted his mood. For so many years, he had wished to have children of his own, and after what happened between him and Riana, Abel vowed never to marry anyone except Avery—the woman who loved him unconditionally.His mind drifted back to the children. Having a son like Aaron would mean so much to him. And the girl? He smiled.He hadn’t spent much time with the little girl, but her cheerful allure drew him in. She looked so beautiful and adorable, so much like Avery, with leaf-brown hair that resembled his own.Thinking of this, Abel felt a little bubble of hope swelling within him. He prayed earnestly that they would be his.“Are they mine, Avery? Please tell me. I really want to know,” he asked, his eyes searching hers for an answer. Before Avery could utter a word, his phone rang.Abel ignored it, but when the ringing persisted, he quickly switched it off and turned his attention back to Avery. At that same

Chapter 157“Who is the boy’s father, and how did you know the little boy?” Abel asked.“Take a look at this,” Douglas said, shoving his phone into Abel’s hands.Abel stared at the video playing before his eyes, his heart pounding. His legs wobbled, and his hands became clammy.Before the video could end, Abel clenched the phone tightly and strode toward the exit.“Wait! What about the collaboration? And where are you going with my phone?” Douglas shouted, but Abel was already gone.Outside the VIP room, Abel turned to Jason, who was waiting in the corridor.“Keep that old fool in check and make sure he deletes all the videos,” Abel ordered.“Which video?” Jason asked in confusion.“The old fool has a video of Avery and me... making out.”Jason knitted his brows together, his expression shocked.“Don’t spare him. Crush him into pieces and ensure every copy of the video is erased.”“You can count on me,”---At the hospital, Avery had just stepped out of the operating theater and was h

Twenty minutes later, Abel arrived at the Greenville Hotel. As he walked into the restaurant, he spotted Mr. Douglas seated at the far end of the room, near the window. Without hesitation, Abel strode toward the older man and grabbed him by the neck."Mr. Copper, what are you doing?" Douglas gasped, his voice trembling.Abel ignored him and dragged him toward the VIP room upstairs. As soon as they entered, Abel shoved Douglas onto the couch."What was that nonsense you sent me earlier?" Abel demanded.Douglas was speechless. The last time he had tried his luck with Abel, things hadn't ended well. Now, he had another opportunity to make a deal, but he knew he had to resort to devious means to achieve his goal.After Abel caught him with Riana, Douglas had been certain approaching Abel again would be a death sentence. However, when his contact called a few months ago and informed him about Avery's return to Mallory Avenue, Douglas began plotting how to use her to get close to Abel. Then

Currie's heart skipped a beat. How could these children think she was hiding something from them? Last night, when she had asked Avery about the kids’ father, Avery had been hesitant to answer.And now, Aaron and Aerial thought she knew who their father was. Currie thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and said softly,"Do you want my brother to be your daddy?"Her eyes stayed fixed on the kids, searching their expressions.Aerial's eyes lit up, excitement shining in her face."Of course, I want him to be our daddy!" Aerial exclaimed. "He would protect us, right?"Aaron, calmer than his sister, nodded and asked, "Will you help us?"Sometimes, Aerial wondered how her brother managed to stay so composed no matter what.Currie hesitated briefly before offering a compromise."Why don't we go to the park first? We'll talk about this later.""Are you going to buy us ice cream?" Aerial asked eagerly."Of course, I will.""But Mom says it's not good to eat too much sugar.""I haven’t had an
