After returning to her room, Faye put her headphones back on and heard Charles softly but desperately calling out for her.

"What's wrong?"

Don't tell her that Charles had been taken down in the short time she'd been away.

If that were the case, she might need to reconsider who she picked as the deputy team leader.

It'd be embarrassing to have such a weak deputy team leader.

"Finally!" Charles almost gave up in despair. He was relieved to finally hear Faye's voice again.

"I was wondering if you know someone called 'C'?"

C?

Faye narrowed her eyes. "Just tell me."

Charles composed himself and said in all seriousness, "Remember how you asked me to look into XL after a batch of goods was detained last time? Well, I didn't pay too much attention that time. However, a man called 'C' came in just now."

Charles carried on. "It seems like he wants to talk to me about the goods, and I happened to remember you requesting these documents. So I was wondering how you'd like me to deal w

    Faye was surprised when she received Mauve's call since this was the first time Mauve had called her. "Hello?" Faye went to the balcony to pick up the call. "Faye? It's me, Mauve." Mauve's voice was shaky. A bad feeling arose, and Faye quickly replied, "Yes, it's me. What's wrong?""Is Avery with you?" Mauve asked. "Last night, she received a call not too long after you left. She said she needed to deal with an urgent matter and rushed back to the city. "However, she never replied when I asked her whether she was home yet. I tried calling her a few times but she never picked up …""Please calm down, Mrs. Stewart. She might have gotten so busy that she forgot to reply to you. I'll head over to her place right now." It wouldn't be the first time Avery had been unreachable after a night of drinking, so Faye didn't think too much about it. She consoled Avery's mom and drove out. Frederic scowled upon learning Faye had left and silently admonished her for leaving him behind.

    Dusting herself off, Faye let out a deep sigh and surveyed the people lying on the ground. The scene was grim as the men either had broken limbs or swollen faces. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the six or seven men who had been injured by Jason earlier emerging from one corner. They all held weapons and rushed over to help, but stopped in their tracks when they saw what had happened. Faye's fair face was flushed from the exertion as she glanced at the newcomers. Smiling, she waved them over. "Come here."Instantly, the men took several steps back. They looked at Faye as if she was a monster. They had heard a fight going on earlier, and even though they didn't see who beat their men up, Faye's presence was more than enough to raise suspicions. The leader of the group asked cautiously, "Who are you?"Faye responded with a lazy smile. "That's not important. What is important, however—" Her expression turned serious as she snapped, "Is that you've hurt someone who belo

    Marie had invited Avery, assuming the latter would turn down the wedding invitation. She implied that Avery was poor by emphasizing that the flight and accommodation were paid for, all while boasting Edward's generosity.Therefore, she was aghast to see Avery happily accept the invitation card. "Wow, Mr. Chase is indeed wealthy and generous. How many guests have you invited? It's incredibly thoughtful of you to turn your wedding into a Melvina getaway for all your guests by covering their travel and lodging expenses."Avery was well aware that Edward's friends were just as affluent as he was, so none of them would flinch at the cost of the destination wedding. Her comment was nothing more than an attempt to embarrass Marie.Now, Avery had made it sound like the newlyweds would shoulder the costs for all their guests. Everyone around them clapped and cheered, praising Edward for being so giving.Among their childhood friends, some were not particularly successful or well-off. They h

    The atmosphere in the corridor became eerie and tense as Jason's intimidating presence left Edward frozen in fear. Edward couldn't muster a word and teetered on the edge of a mental breakdown - the searing pain in his wrist ironically grounding him.Edward finally collected himself as he let out a low gasp in response to the intensifying pain in his wrist. He glared at Jason and stammered, "Ja-Jason, y-you …""I don't mind giving you a refresher of what I told you before," Jason warned. Dressed in a black shirt, he looked imposing and scared Edward out of his wits.Meanwhile, Avery smoothed her shirt and said sarcastically, "Mr. Keane, I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding. No one here is 'your woman.'"She lifted her chin with poise and grace, but her eyes were filled with a look of disgust. She added, "By the way, Mr. Chase, I have recorded your defamatory comments just now. I will take legal action against you when necessary.""Avery, you bitch!" As Edward couldn't do an

He had no idea what had happened to her.He rushed to the hospital in his car and unexpectedly ran into Jason on the first floor. Breathless, Cedric asked, "Jason, what brings you here?"Jason was equally surprised to run into Cedric again because of Faye. He asked in return, "And why are you here?""I'm here to see Faye," Cedric answered and was ready to make a quick exit. But before he could leave, Jason grabbed his arm and joked, "Whoa, where are you off to?

    The appearance of Mauve and Cecilia cheered Avery up. Cecilia was a small child, but she was obedient and empathetic. She hugged Avery and blew on her wound to cheer her up, telling her it would not hurt as much if she blew on it. She then grabbed a bowl of soup and offered to feed Avery. Touched, Avery started sobbing. "Mommy, why are you crying?" Cecelia started to cry as well. Her doe-like eyes sparkled in tears endearingly. "It's fine. I'm not in pain." Avery held Cecilia close and closed her eyes. "I just think that I'm a lucky person to have you around, Cece. I will treat you well, okay?""You've always treated me well." Cecilia reached her chubby hands to wipe away Avery's tears. "Don't cry, Mommy. I will be a good girl, so you don't have to worry about me."Avery sobbed harder upon hearing her words. Faye found herself rendered speechless as she observed the scene.It was supposed to be a rather touching scene, but she felt bored, perhaps because she had a cold

Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich.

She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor.

    Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around.
