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

“Why would Riana think of harming our baby? That baby means the world to her. Have you forgotten how you hurt her with a knife? Yet you denied it even though I was there and now you want to deny it?” Abel was so angry that he felt all his body vibration."I won't forgive you this time"If Avery could get pregnant from someone else then, there is nothing she can’t do.“What if I prove to you that Riana was guilty? Would you still accuse me of being wrong? Would you still blame me for the death of your child?”“There is no way she could intentionally harm my baby”“Believe me, I did not touch Riana. Wait a minute, let me prove it to you. I will call someone to check on her”Abel couldn't stand Avery's presence anymore. He ignored her and left.Riana was pale, and her color drained. She slumped into Abel's arms immediately after he came inside her room and wept.“Abel, Avery killed our baby. She was angry that you wanted to marry me. Promise me she won’t go unpunished,” she whimpered.“St

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.

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

“Is that so, Grandpa? Did you truly make things difficult for Elijah? Don’t be difficult, old boy.” Currie patted Bennett’s back.“Don’t you want to play with your grandson instead? Come on, Grandpa, stop crying; let’s go and play.” Aaron pulled Bennett out of the chair, gently leading him toward his room upstairs.“He doesn’t want to play with me,” Aerial mumbled.Currie smiled warmly. “Come on, Aerial. He loves you and wants to play with you, too. Let’s go to the kitchen, I’m sure Elijah has something to lighten your mood,” she said, guiding Aerial to the kitchen.As they walked away, Currie couldn’t help but wonder How these kids even knew about Old Bennett.****Inside Bennett’s room, Aaron pulled a picture out of his pocket and handed it to the old man. Bennett’s face lit up with joy. He hugged the picture close to his chest, held it up, and kissed it.“Where did you find my granddaughter-in-law?” he asked, his voice filled with emotion.“Do you know my mom?” Aaron asked, confus

“Don’t worry about the kids, Avery; I can take care of them,” Currie said the next morning after Avery received an emergency call from the hospital.Avery glanced at Currie, her expression softening as she touched her shoulder tenderly.“I didn’t know I would be needed at the hospital today. I don’t usually work on weekends.”“It’s all right. Besides, I needed the distraction.”“Thank you so much, Currie. I’m grateful. Please, if they bother you, don’t hesitate to call me.”“Focus on your work. We’ll be fine.”Avery smiled, hugged Currie, and headed for the door.“Avery!” Currie called just as she was about to leave.“Yes?”“Can I take the kids to the park?”“Sure, that would be great. I’m sure they’ll love it. Thank you so much, Currie.”“It’s nothing. Have a nice day.”Avery smiled again and left the house.As she got into her car, Avery couldn’t help but reflect on her current situation. She knew she needed to find a nanny fast. Balancing her job and raising the kids on her own was

“Sister Nuu, were you pregnant for my brother before both of you divorced?” Currie asked, her voice curious yet cautious.Avery smiled nonchalantly and waved Currie away.“How can that be possible, Currie? Your brother divorced me the same day I was released. Could he have possibly impregnated me in prison?”Avery appeared calm and unfazed as she continued.“When I was married to your brother, had he ever considered me his wife? He wouldn’t even let me sleep on the same bed with him or stay in his room. So, tell me, do you think such a man would ever stand to see me naked, let alone father my children? Besides, he never stepped foot in my room.”Currie was shocked. She knew things weren’t going well between Avery and her brother, but she had never imagined it was this bad.What was wrong with Abel? How couldn’t he see Avery’s impeccable beauty? Why wouldn’t he appreciate her gorgeous body? Even as a woman, Currie saw Avery as an incredibly attractive person. She had watched other men

As soon as Avery settled behind the wheel with Currie beside her, she clasped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes wide with shock.“Did I just hit Axel?” she wondered. All her life, Avery had never used force against anyone, not even in self-defense classes. But Axel had left her with no other choice. She couldn’t let him take Currie away.She glanced over at Currie, noticing her friend was visibly trembling. Avery could almost hear her heart racing.She calmly placed her hand on Currie’s.“It’s all right, Currie. He’s gone now. I’ll take you home.”“Can you take me with you, Sister Nuu? I don’t want to go back home. I’m not ready to face Grandpa and Abel.”For Currie, Abel’s house had become her refuge, a place she saw as home. She avoided mentioning her father’s house, as did many others in their circle. Even Godwin was no longer comfortable with Nora, who had changed since Riana went to jail.“Please, let me spend the night at your place,” Currie pleaded.Avery thought for a momen

“Sister Nuu!” Currie called out from behind, unaware of the tense scene unfolding. She approached with a bright smile, holding two martinis, one in each hand.Axel’s eyes narrowed as he spotted her. In a swift, vicious movement, he grabbed her by the neck, pressing the knife close to her skin. Currie’s expression shifted from joy to terror as her hands trembled, the glasses slipping from her grip and shattering on the floor. But with the loud music blaring in the bar, no one noticed the broken glass and the crowd remained absorbed in their worlds, oblivious to the danger just feet away.Axel tightened his hold, leaning close to Currie’s ear with a sickly sweet grin as if they were just two lovers sharing a secret. “Smile, darling,” he whispered. “We don’t want to draw attention, do we?”Currie’s heart raced, but she forced a terrified smile, desperate not to make things worse. Axel gave her a rough shove, guiding her toward the door, their struggle hidden under the guise of a friendl

By the time Avery reached the cafe, Currie had called her over twenty times. “Are you trying to drain my battery with all these calls?” Avery said, sinking into the chair across from Currie.“Sis Nuu, don’t blame me. My heart is broken. Axel and I were supposed to be on our honeymoon in Mexico, but he ruined everything. I don’t know what to do with myself. The coffee here isn’t strong enough. Can we go to the bar across the road and grab a drink? Just a bottle?” Avery hesitated. “Currie, I don’t have the strength to carry a drunk woman. Why don’t you go home and rest instead?” “All I’ve done at home is stare at my wedding dress and cry. I’ll just keep watching it and crying some more. I don’t know what else to do. Please, just buy the bottle. We’ll be out of there quickly.” Seeing how crushed Currie was, Avery relented. “All right, one glass, and then we leave,” she said. Avery hated drinking alone at a bar, especially without any male company. This would be the first time
