They headed to the ground floor.When they reached the ground floor, Mrs Martins and Lily were in the living room waiting for them.

I am sorry for your loss. Your cousin is very beautiful, and she is very intelligent."Lily scoffed and replied, "Avery is beautiful indeed, but she has a vicious heart and I hate her. After my parents' funeral, Aunt Elizabeth took me back with her to the Martins residence.However, Avery didn't welcome me into her house. Also, she refused to help me with my studies. I think it's because her family is a little richer than mine. Hence, she looked down on me."Tiffany was shocked when she heard Lily's words. She felt sorry for her new friend and said, "Forge
Her mother rushed to her and tried to kick her while she was down. Avery reacted quickly and managed to dodge her mother's attack. Everything happened so fast.Her mother lost her balance and fell on the broken casserole dish. The broken casserole shards pieced her hand ruthlessly. Blood started dripping on the floor. She felt an excruciating pain in her hand she nearly fainted.Her face was pale and screamed at Aiden, "What are you waiting for? Look at what she did to me. Beat her up until she stops breathing. Don't worry about your father. I will tell him that it was self-defense."Aiden felt like he was in a dream, his mind went blank. Avery kicked the dining table. Aiden and Lily fell down with their chairs.She walked to Lily who was sitting on the floor with a confused expression and slapped her hard across her face.Lily's face was burning, she looked at Avery viciously. She wanted to fight back but when she saw Avery's cold eyes, she decided against it. She was hoping that Aide
Mrs Martins looked at her son with tears in her eyes and replied, "I am sorry for deceiving you, my favourite son. Avery is your sister, and your father didn't threaten to divorce me.When we were at Principal Glen's office, Avery told him that her mother passed away when she was giving birth to her.She cursed me to die. I felt humiliated and embarrassed. Shouldn't I get back to her?Please believe me if I say I didn't know that Bridgette and your father had a father-daughter relationship. Please forgive me."Aiden felt like crying. His mother lied to him several times, but he forgave her. He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you crossed the line this time and I will never forgive you for lying to me.If I could be given a chance to choose my mother, I would never choose you. You are vicious and evil. You wanted to kill my only sister because of the promises you made to your precious niece.I wish my father could divorce you and marry Bridgette. You are not worthy of being his wife

Her father smiled and replied, "I promise. Quickly tell Daddy, what is going on?" Avery looked at her father and said, "Daddy, there is someone I like. His name is Jordan Bennet."Her father thought he was mentally prepared, but he wasn't because Bridgette told him about this boy a year ago. He even investigated him. He looked at his daughter with sadness in his eyes and asked, "Do you trust this boy, Sweetheart?"Avery looked at her father and replied, "I love him, Daddy. He put a smile on my face. It is a pity that the human heart is a mystery, it's impossible to see the other person's intentions. Should he hurt me in the future, I will take it as a lesson for being naïve.I promise that I will never disappoint you, Daddy. Also, I will not get pregnant outside of wedlock. I will never give Aunt Elizabeth a chance to laugh at you for refusing her to abort me when I was a fetus.Daddy, Jordan, comes from a poor background.

A few minutes later, Jordan called her. Avery didn't want to talk to him, she just ignored it.At that moment, Aunt Bridgette walked into the room and said, "Sweetheart, are you alright? Your phone is ringing." Avery smiled at her and replied, "I am alright, Aunt Bridge. I don't want to speak to Jordan.Sometimes I feel like I am in a one-sided relationship. He lied to me about the graduation tickets. He decided to invite me to the ceremony after I hired a luxury car for him.I feel like he approached me because I am coming from a wealthy family. He told me that he was not happy with me because I didn't invite him to my birthday banquet. He ind
When Avery arrived in the parking lot, Lily was waiting for her. She rushed at her with a raised hand. Aunt Bridge shielded Avery behind her like a hen protecting her chick and asked coldly, "What are you trying to do, Lily?"Lily was fuming with anger and sneered, "Avery, don't hide behind your nanny. I will never forgive you for stealing my guests."Avery was dumbfounded. She didn't even know about her birthday banquet until her father told her during their dance.

What do you mean by stealing your guests? Did you have a function today as well?"Lily looked at Aunt Mia with disdain in her eyes and replied, "Stop pretending, Aunt Mia.

Gabriella, this is my elder brother Siyabonga Cele."Siyabonga kissed Gabriella on both cheeks and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Stone.

The following morning, Lily approached Uncle August in his study room and said, "I am sorry, uncle, I have to return the Penthouse keys, I don't want to leave my aunt alone here."Uncle August smiled and replied, "Lily, I was not trying to chase you out of the Martins mansion."
