He indicated that he had an announcement to make."Caia became so worried that she placed her hand on her chest and asked, "Avery, is everything alright with your father?"Avery smiled at Aunt Caia and replied, "Yes, Aunt Caia. If I am not mistaken, Aunt Elizabeth is demanding a divorce because Daddy refused to hand Xavier over to Lily. I think she has given Daddy an ultimatum.However, I am not surprised because Aunt Elizabeth will do anything in her power to make my cousin, Lily, happy."Aunt Caia heaved a huge sigh of relief when she heard that Mr Martins was alright.

I just hope that she will not give Lily this money."Avery nodded her head as she concurred with Aiden. She looked at her father with worried eyes and asked, "Are you alright, Daddy? When are you moving out?"Her father smiled at his daughter and replied, "I am alright, Sweetheart. I am moving out today, and I will stay at His Glory Hotel for now. I do have a mansion not far from the Taylor family mansion, but it is not furnished or decorated yet.Sweetheart, please pack all your stuff in your bedroom.

After Xavier and Avery left the Martins mansion, Mr Martins and his wife, Elizabeth, were sitting in the living room with their helpers.He looked at them and said, "I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your hard work for the past two decades.Unfortunately, I will no longer be your employer. Mrs Martins and I have signed the divorce papers.You can stay here and work under Mrs Martins, or you can go to His Goodness Resort to work as housekeepers. Please let me know your decision before I leave."One of the helpers stood up and replied, "Mr Martins, we don't have enough words to thank you for everything you have done for us. May the Lord richly bless you.When Miss Parker told us that she would be our new employer, we came to the decision that we didn't want to work under her. Then we started packing our luggage.Since we are no longer young, and we don't have families, we have decided to resign and take this time to travel around the world. When we come back, we will

Xavier was mesmerized by his wife's beauty and replied, "I promise, my love."Avery flashed him a beautiful smile and said, "Honey, I have been thinking about our daughter, Sage. I am worried about her.Is it possible to ask Mom to visit the Moore family to check on her? I have a feeling that Sage is not happy at the Moore mansion.Remember, her maternal grandmother indicated that she would never acknowledge Sage as her granddaughter because of her mother's betrayal.Why don't we send food every month to support our daughter? Also, Sage is supposed to be doing Grade RR. Why don't we send her to school next term?"Xavier took his wife in his arms and kissed her for a long time.
