After Eva’s death, when Esme was arranging her sister's inheritance, she discovered that many years ago, all of the assets under Eva’s name had already been transferred over to Blake. After some investigation, she found out that when they registered for the wedding, Blake had actually passed on all their assets to Avery. That huge amount of assets was enough for them to rank on the Forbes List. She really didn't know what the woman had done to Blake.However, it was simply a fantasy for her to want to take that money away from Anderson’s Family.After Avery listened to her so-called conditions, the smile on her face became even more sarcastic. Originally, the reason why she kept circling around was still for money, those things that she doesn’t bring along, she doesn’t take with her even if she dies.Avery didn't understand why they would place such high importance on it."Give me time to think about it.""Of course." Esme laughed and replied, "However, the second trial is coming soon
"Maybe. Yes," he replied softly."Really? You’re not lying to me?” Angie looked at him with a misty look."Yes." Blake nodded again and pursed his resolute lips. However, there is no point in saying this now. Because there were no ifs in life. The truth was that he had met Avery, fallen in love with her, and from then on, he would never again be able to live without her.A quick ringtone interrupted his thoughts, causing Blake to pick up the phone, "All right, I understand…" He said a few simple words and hung up."Anj, I still have some things to take care of. Take care of yourself. I'll be back with you tomorrow.""Okay." Angie nodded obediently, her small hands still holding onto his clothes. "Blake, I don't want to be sent to a mental hospital, please don't let them sue me, okay? I really didn't do it on purpose. I just couldn't help myself.”His words were filled with a grievance, and Blake couldn't help but be moved, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will be able to harm you."
In the eastern sky, a rising star appeared. Avery bit her lips and stubbornly wiped away the tears on her face. She knew that it was time to face reality.Avery made Dina complete the discharge procedures and then went to the coffee shop where she had agreed to meet with Esme alone.Because of the traffic jam on the road, Esme was a few minutes late. When she walked into the coffee shop, Avery was already seated near the window. With one hand on her cheeks and the other hand lightly looking out, she sat there like an elegant, static oil painting."I've been waiting for a long time."Esme sat down opposite her. “One cup of Blue Mountain, thank you,” she said to the waitress."A cup of green tea," Avery said indifferently.The waiter was slightly taken aback, as very few people would order a cup of tea in a coffee shop.When the green tea was placed in front of Avery, within the transparent tea cup, tender green leaves floated in the air, looking very much like a little girl in front of
Blake's words were naturally filled with grievance, but looking at Avery who looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears, he was already somewhat regretful.But before he could say anything to redeem himself, Avery's divorce agreement was already opened in front of him."I don't want to pursue the past anymore. Since you want the shares so badly, I'll leave it to you. Sign it.” She even had a pen ready for him.Blake was so angry that his head spun, he grabbed the divorce agreement and quickly flipped through a few pages.Avery would rather go out clean than stay by his side. He was really decisive. Since that was the case, he would grant her wish.But, why is his hand holding the pen trembling slightly, he couldn't put down the words after a long time.“Avery, have you ever loved me? Even if it was just a tiny bit?”Avery clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into the tender flesh of her palms, yet feeling no pain at all. "Just what kind of patience do I need in order to s
As for those reporters, he had indeed been the one to arrange them. Since everything that should not have happened had happened, regardless of whether she accepted it or not, he would still be responsible for her.At that time, her parents did not think highly of this marriage. Firstly, they had already decided in their hearts, and secondly, Avery was young. At that time, Blake had put down the words that she would not be able to marry Avery.To show his sincerity, he had the lawyer settle all the assets and transfer them to Avery. It could be said that the amount was astronomical, but when she signed the agreement, she did not even look at it. She immediately flipped to the last page and signed her name.She was always so dismissive of everything he gave her, but three years later today, she came to question him about the insignificant shares. It was as ironic as it could be.The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out. Blake looked in the direction of the door with a clear an
The night was quiet. Within the villa on the mountain.Avery sat on the leather sofa in the living room alone. Her surroundings were empty and quiet.After marrying for three years, the number of days she had lived with Blake could be counted on one hand. He sometimes spent a whole day with her on the eighth, but most of the time he looked through the financial statements while she sat beside him, holding a medical book. When he was at home, Avery would cook personally. Her cooking skills were not good, but he was never picky.Avery pressed her hand to her forehead, her eyes shut, her expression showing pain. No matter how hard she racked her brains, their memories of each other were pitifully small. The only sweet time was not long after their marriage. That day, Blake drank some wine and was slightly drunk, half kneeling at her feet, his expression serious and focused, her voice low and hoarse. He said, "Avery, give me a baby, I will definitely love her, love her, and cherish her fo
In the end, it was Blake’s selfishness that indirectly harmed Avery.The next morning, Avery woke up. She stared at the ceiling, her clear eyes blank."Avery, you're awake! Is it really worth it to end your life just for a man?" Dina held onto her petite hand that was almost completely devoid of heat.Avery's lips carried a bitter smile, even if she wanted to die, it wouldn't be so easy. "Why save me? If I live, I will be a walking corpse. If I die, it would be a relief.""What nonsense are you talking about? Avery, you are still young and you will still have a long time to live in the future,” Dina comforted her gently.Avery quickly recovered and left the hospital. Dina rented a small apartment for Avery in the city, the location was not bad, and the price was reasonable, but the house was indeed very small, it was only 30 square meters, but Avery lived in peace.Dina would follow the doctor's advice to bring Avery to see a therapist every week, but she did not seem to cooperate. No
He was standing a step away from her, his back straight, his posture tall and straight as a cedar. He silently looked at her with a hint of coldness in his eyes, his black pupils making it impossible to find her reflection in them.Avery had never thought that she would be able to meet Blake again in her lifetime. After all, S City was so big, with a population of ten million. However, they had to meet again. What kind of evil fate was this?!"Miss Foster, long time no see." His lips curved into a beautiful smile, but his tone was filled with indifference and alienation.Miss Foster? This unfamiliar name made Avery unable to respond for a while, and it took a while for her to understand that this was the name he called her. Yes, Miss Foster, it's perfect. Could it be that she could only hope for him to call her like before?"I didn't expect to meet you here." Avery's lips moved slightly; her voice extremely indifferent. But she kept her head down, not daring to look into his eyes. Ave
