In the evening, Riana spent her time talking about their wedding to Abel. “I think this dress will be perfect. Look at this one too,” Riana said, showing Abel the wedding catalog in her hand.“Take your time and choose whatever you want. You can also let Nora help you out with the shopping,” Abel said despite himself.“Oh Abel, you are so sweet. I can’t wait to plan this wedding with Nora. Oh my, I can’t believe I will finally get married in three months.” Riana hugged Abel as she spoke.“Now that we are getting married, don’t you think we should live together? That would make you feel your baby while he developed within me”“I don’t think so. Why the rush? After all, we will still live together after the wedding. Focus on the wedding preparation. That’s all I want from you”“You can find your way out when you are done. I need to get some rest,” Abel said and walked towards his room.****“I am so happy for you, Riana. Do you see what I was talking about? As long as Abel is in love w

Avery turned around to see Riana and Nora by her side.“Avery dear, are you here to get something for someone? It's such a pity that you can’t even have a child for Abel despite staying with him for so long, unlike Riana, who is already pregnant even without getting overly involved with him,” Nora said and patted Riana on the back.Avery ignored them and moved toward the exit door, but Riana was so adamant about hurting her feelings that she chased after her.“Avery, you don’t have to pretend that you did not hear us. See, it’s not my fault that Abel chose me instead of you. Did you realize our wedding is happening in three months? So tell me who is the winner now? Who’s laughing now” Riana laughed at the anger on Avery's face.“Just so you must know, our wedding is an open invitation and you are highly welcome,” Riana laughed as she spoke.“And soon, I will give birth to Abel’s son. Now who has lost? You are such a loser”“ I wonder why she refused to give up despite everything? She s

“Who are you to stop me from seeing Dr Pepper? Do you believe your father’s wealth can stop my father's treatment? Well, let me shock you, Abel has paid for my father's surgery in full and there is nothing you can do to stop it”Avery smiled and sat down on the chair calmly. Dr. Robert pulled Riana aside. He heard how mysterious Dr Pepper was. He loved to disguise himself so that no one would notice him. Maybe he dressed like a female to fool them?Seeing how Avery was casually dressed and how composed her look was. Dr Robert was confused. Before now, everyone used to think that Doctor Pepper was a man, but something in him made him call Riana aside.“Ms, maybe we should allow her to see Doctor William first, didn’t you say that she is Mr Clinton’s daughter? We wouldn’t like to have any issues with her family considering your father’s current health conditions”“That can’t happen. My future husband can deal with Clinton’s family. Don’t you know my husband-to-be? He is Able Copper, so

Abel lifted his eyes and saw Avery. She was still holding the knife. Able’s face became stony, and his harsh voice descended into Avery’s ear.“What have you done? Why are you this heartless?” Abel roared. ‘I didn’t hurt her. Believe me”“Even with a knife in your hand, you are still denying this?” Abel was annoyed. Avery quickly tossed the knife away.“Believe me, she hurt herself”“Keep quiet, you lair, I saw you with the knife. How can she possibly hurt herself?” Abel roared.“Abel, don’t be harsh on Avery. I understand how she feels and I don’t blame her.” Riana said and turned to Avery.“Please, Avery, forgive me in whatever way I have wronged you. Just help my father”.Instantly, Robert came out of Dr William’s office with Nora.“Oh, my goodness, what happened to you” Nora screamed immediately she saw Riana and the blood that stained the white tiles.“Avery hurt her and I will make her pay for this.” Abel couldn’t hide his anger.“So you hurt Riana because she wants you to carr

The next morning, Lucy called Avery on the phone.“Are you still in bed? We have an important surgery today and you are still sleeping” “There won’t be any surgery. Abel made me do the operation yesterday.”“What? And why would he do that ““Can we meet at the Dinners? So we can talk”“The Dinners again after what happened to you the last time”“More reason I want to be there. I want to give that stupid Zeno a piece of my mind.”“I will see you there at 7 pm”Avery threw the quilt over her body and went back to sleep.It was a few minutes after seven in the evening that Avery walked into the Dinners with Lucy. She spotted a decent space on the top floor and went up with Lucy. As soon as they settled down, Zeno came up to their seat.“I am sorry princess, you can’t believe how mad I was at Benny. I shouldn’t have left you under his care”“Who is Benny?” Lucy asked.“That’s my useless manager, I have fired him”“Why didn’t you even show up in the hospital?” Avery finally talked.“I was

Jason had called Abel earlier to notify him about Avery. He was worried that Avery would get into trouble at the Dinners which was why he came only to see Lucas about to hit her. Filled with rage Abel wanted to smack Lucas's head that very moment but what Avery was about to show them was more important, so he led them into the control room.The operator turned the monitor on the first floor and zoomed in on the place Lucas was sitting. The video of Lucas putting some white powder inside a glass of red wine was displayed. Ms. Donald was shocked. She slapped Lucas hard on his cheeks."You idiot. So this is who you are? " her eyes brimming with tears. She turned to Avery and muttered her apology."I am sorry Ms. I have no idea he is that kind of a person""Is right, you have to be more careful next time""Thank you so much for helping me and I will keep that in mind" She glared at Lucas and left the room.Lucas fell on his knees and cried bitterly.“Please forgive me, Ms. Clinton, I do

“Avery, how did you get all this information?” Lucy asked as soon as they returned to the table. “It’s simple. Lucas Meghan thought he was wise. He never knew that the naive assistant who worked in his company many years ago had her suspicious. However, during the time I worked with the secret squad, I could not gather much information before I was sent to prison. Adam helped me out. He found where the drugs were kept.”“Now Meghan’s group would be destroyed for sure. With Lucas going back to prison after a few days of release, the company could not survive even if it got reopened ““With Abel as their future in-law, I’m sure he would try to save them again,” Lucy said“That won’t happen. His reputation will be ruined if he gets involved.” Zeno said.“If he ever gets involved, then I will not spare him.” Avery’s face was blank and cold.“I told you, Lucy, that I will break them bit by bit. There are more coming on Riana’s way.”“Tell me, what did she do this time”“She lied to Abel

Within a short while. Two security men came up to the executive floor.“Take this mad woman out of here,” Avery said.One of the security men grabbed Riana’s hand, and the other held her legs.“Let me down, you animals. Wait and see what my husband will do to you all. Do you know Abel Copper, my husband? He will get you all arrested,” Riana screamed, struggling to get out from both men. The security men carried Riana outside and dumped her on the floor. Riana got up in a haste and tried to get back inside. Unfortunately, both men stopped her from entering.“Avery, I am not done with you, useless woman”Avery came outside to instruct his security men. Riana saw Avery and wanted to fight her, but she was held tight by the security men.“Throw her out of the gate and make sure this woman doesn’t enter the premises again.”As soon as the security men wanted to throw Riana out, a black luxurious car drove inside the compound.Abel came to apologize to Avery and saw how Riana was mistrea

"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

Chapter 155Currie'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 h
