“Is that so, bring those chemicals here on the stage” Adam shouted from behind. Lucas looked at the sample chemical that he kept beside him. There is no way he would deny it. Anthony made him customize the containers with the company's name and logo beautifully inscribed on them.“Yes, let's test the chemicals” the audience yelled. At this point, the journalists were busy recording the events, while the newscasters were reporting the events live at their various television stations. Adam on the other hand has posted the video online and the news began trending immediately. He kept updating the event as it unfolded. While Avery's special Media team broadcasts it live both on television and online. From the hospital, Avery watched what was going on.“Did you just say it's not you that was in that video? If that is the case, let me call the ten experts in the field to test the chemicals you brought with you” Tobias Avery's assistant said.“Go ahead and call them, my products are not f
"I want to use this opportunity to beg the entire public for forgiveness. We fail to notice this crime on time thereby feeding the public with ineffective drugs. How are we to know that the body entrusted with the testing of our raw material could conspire with Meghan's group to do this great evil just to ruin the company's reputation? Thanks to our new CEO Avery Clinton who not only discovered this issue within the space of three months she took over the administration of the company but also ensured that Clinton Pharmaceutical Company returned to its former glory by eliminating all the culprits.. To appeal to the public, she has introduced a new antibiotic that helps to heal leprosy diseases. For that reason, Clinton's pharmaceutical company will supply five million cartons of this medicine to all the hospitals within Znach City. In addition to this one billion cartons of anti-malaria drugs will also be distributed throughout the general hospitals free of charge. This is to apolo
“Avery was invited to the annual International Business conference coming next weekend. After her broadcast last Friday, many companies wanted to invest in the Clinton pharmaceutical company. She suddenly became famous because of that incident" Jessica frowned."What of Megan's group, did we get an invitation?" Riana asked."I am sorry Riana, but I didn't receive such an invitation. On the contrary, the Clinton Group is demanding compensation of a hundred billion for the years the company went into trouble because of the Meghan Group's""That can't be? How dare they do such a thing to us?""Here are the legal documents that support all their claim, and their solicitor is promising to sue the company if we refuse to complete the payment within three months""That bitch will pay for this. How can we meet up with such a stupid demand? That amount will bring this company to bankruptcy" Riana cried out in frustration. How could Lucas be so stupid to think of messing up with the Clinton fam
“I want to dance with you,” Abel said “I don't want to dance with you!” Avery yelled.“You don't have a choice, Nicole” Abel said and swerved her around then commenced to the dancing floor. Avery was forced into dance while her mind searched for the possible reason for his action.“Aha, so finally you wanted to process our divorce” she asked after a while."Stay away from me and stop stalking me, Nicole.” Avery frowned. Abel gripped her waist tight with his right hand while he locked their left hands as if they were still a couple. He took two steps backward, still staring at her eyes coldly and not blinking at all.“Stalking you? Who is stalking you? How arrogant of you”“No matter what, we will never get back together, understand this and stop bothering me," Abel said and turned her around and she fell on his hand. His words took Avery by surprise."I will never live in bondage with you Abel? Riana didn't tell you that I am already engaged with Sabastine and I am happy with him""
It was already mid-afternoon when Abel finally woke up. The thought of what happened last night came back to his memory. It was obvious that the wine he shared with Avery was drugged. How could Avery do such a despicable thing? Why would she drug his wine, just to get his attention? She knew very well that he loved that particular brand. Abel tried to get up but felt a terrible headache. He called the reception and requested a painkiller. Within a few seconds, the drugs were delivered to his room. He drank the medicine and went into the bathroom.Immediately after he finished dressing up, Riana walked into the room. A look of guilt filled his face. Riana has been preserving herself for him all these years. He didn't know it. But last night he ruined everything by that uncontrollable wild sex. No wonder she left in a hurry because she was too embarrassed to face him. Who would have believed that she was still a virgin? The realization made him love her more. She didn't only save hi
Avery stepped out of the bathtub, dried her skin with the tower, and walked into her room. The thought of Abel crawling on her body and touching her in the most sensitive part came into her memory. It was wild sex and she loved every bit of it. Avery couldn't believe what happened the previous night. Despite spending some months with Abel before she went to prison, Abel never touched her. She recalled how she had shamelessly begged him for sex but he never granted her request. Flashback.Three years ago, Avery's heart quivered immediately after Abel, her husband, appeared at the door. He was just coming back from the office. Like always his handsome but cold face was void of any emotions. Not even a smile or anything. Avery opened her mouth to utter a greeting, but his intimidating allure made every single word she knew vanish from her mouth.His presence always left her heart fluttering. She could feel a burning sensation from within and a great tingling coming from her stomach. Ab
Avery was hesitant to slash off her nightie which she purposely bought for the night. She couldn't imagine exposing her body in such a manner before her husband.Abel's eyes ogled on her smooth skin. Her beautiful straight legs and tanned skin made him feel the stirring of his meaty fresh under his thighs. His hazel orb shamelessly diverted to her fully rounded boobs and lingered there for a moment before he moved them down her lower abdomen just between her thighs. Even with the nightwear on her body, Abel could see how thick her woman's body was. This is not his first time seeing her and her perfect body, but each time, he always finds new things to explore. For instance, her ni@ples suddenly erect in a manner that makes them look more glorious. Deliberately, he allowed his hand to move toward that area, he cupped it and gave it a light squeeze before letting it go."You look beautiful. So beautiful Nicole " he thought and breathed in her scent, then pulled her into his arms, let
At Abel's family house, Nora was devastated. The news of her brother disturbed her greatly and she was in deep sorrow. Goodwin on the other hand was trying hard to console her, but Nora couldn't just stay calm.“Put yourself together Nora, it's not like your brother is dead already. He will surely come out of prison soon, I can assure you that.”“How can that be? Do you know who he foolishly offended? The Clinton family Godwin. What am I supposed to do? Who will help me out” she wailed.“Godwin, tell me what to do. I don't weep for Anthony alone, I also weep for my godchild Riana. My poor baby is passing through a lot. How can the poor child bear the burden alone? Elizabeth, her mother, has given up on life already. She can't even eat or drink anything. She cried into a stupor. Her father is lying critically at the hospital and her brother is in the cell. My poor child was left to bear all these burdens alone. Please do something. Tell Able to help her family. I know you did not l
"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
