"Angie, if you knew the truth, would you have reported her and brought her to justice?" Blake coldly interrupted her."I …" The pleading was stuck in her throat, and Angie was stopped by his words.He lit a cigarette and took a couple of puffs. Annoyed, he put out the cigarette butt in the crystal ashtray and lazily leaned against the sofa.“Angie, you go back. I don't seem to be sighing about this. You should understand, my mother, she can't die without a clear reason.”Angie looked at him quietly as tears slowly rolled down her face. She slowly got up and actually knelt in front of Blake."Angie, what are you doing?" Blake frowned, he extended a hand, wanting to help her up from the ground, but Angie dodged stubbornly, her hands firmly grabbing onto his legs."Blake, I know my mother was wrong. You said you only have your mother, and I only have her. Back then, you were able to help Avery get rid of her sin. Can't you let my mother off just for me now? In your heart, don't you think
Esme's words caused Avery to be slightly startled. She widened her eyes and looked at her in puzzlement, "Madam Jensen, I don't really understand what you mean." Logically speaking, she 'caused the death of' her sister, so Esme should have hated her to death.Esme sighed lightly, "Avery, I have already investigated thoroughly that the death of Eva had nothing to do with you. You know, Blake’s heart never quite settled on you. If you want to remarry, I will support you. As for this matter, you have indeed suffered many grievances. If you wish to make amends, please feel free to speak up. I will do my best to satisfy you."In a short moment, Avery's expression changed. Pain, unwillingness, and confusion became bitter ridicule. No wonder Blake was so abnormal that day, and why his attitude was so friendly today, it turned out that paper could not contain the fire, and the truth finally came out to the world.Was Esme coming to find her to give her justice? If she turned the case around,
It was a late autumn night, and the weather was cold and dry. Avery worked overtime before returning home. Wrapped in a heavy cashmere coat, she walked all the way into the run-down neighborhood.In the distance, a beige-white figure could be seen standing under the dim lights of the buildings. Flames flickered between his fingers.Avery stopped in her tracks and calmly stared at him from a few steps away. This man whom she thought she would never see again in her life. “Louis?” A trace of astonishment flashed through her clear eyes.Louis looked at her with a faint smile on his lips, then threw the tip of the cigarette on the ground and extinguished it. “Avery, how have you been recent?”"Not bad. What about you? How are you doing?” Avery's voice was warm and gentle as if she was greeting an old friend that she hadn't seen for many years. No one could imagine that they had once been an unmarried couple.Louis didn't reply. In a few steps, he arrived in front of her and said in a low
Blake laughed bitterly, and the hand holding the spear slowly slid down. Naturally, he would not actually shoot because his gun never had bullets in it.Blake was a gangster, but he had his own bottom line, that was, he did not involve poison, he did not touch firearms, and he did not kill anyone. Everyone who knew him knew that he only had one bullet in his body. Unless it was a last resort, that bullet would never appear in his gun.He pinched Avery's chin with her other hand, and said with a hoarse and suppressed voice, "Avery, you're willing to die for him, then what about me? What am I to you?”Avery opened her eyes, and her long eyelashes drenched, "Blake, we ended a long time ago."It had been over between them from the moment he'd thrown the divorce agreement at her and told her to piss off. However, she couldn't control her heart. Was it possible that if her heart beat for the rest of her life, she would love him for the rest of her life?!"End?" Blake laughed, his laughter w
Trevor was slightly agitated as he moved his hand to the side and sliced off a large piece of the snow-white fruit.Louis stared at the ceiling above his head in a daze, his lips slowly rising into a self-deprecating smile.Trevor was no longer in the mood to peel the apple and threw the fruit in his hand and the half-peeled apple into the trash can. Seeing Louis's half-dead look, he sighed helplessly, "Louis, all these years you have been living abroad, there are many things that you are not clear about. Blake loves Avery, even if her life can be taken away, what are you going to use to fight him for.”"But their relationship with one another isn't good. For three whole years, he almost never returned home." Louis finally shifted his gaze from the ceiling to Trevor.Trevor laughed sarcastically and continued, "Yes, he does rarely return home, do you know the reason why he is unwilling to return home?"Louis's eyes were filled with confusion."It seems like you don't even know why he
On the other side, Avery didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up again, she was already in a strange environment. The room was dimly lit, but it was lavishly decorated, with a soft Simmons bed under a velvet blanket."Finally awake?" A deep male voice came from the French window. The man sat on the large black leather sofa. He wore a white suit, which was in stark contrast to everything around him.Avery frowned slightly, she was uneasy in her heart, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked indifferently, "You, who are you?"The man rested his cheek on one hand as he smiled charmingly, yet with a sinister air. “I am Shawn Leen, the master of this place.”"Shawn Leen?" Avery whispered the light in her eyes retracted. In her memories, there was no such man. “What is your motive for capturing me?”Shawn waved his hand nonchalantly: "No, this way please."Avery laughed coldly, "Then the way you invite people is really special."Shawn smiled without a word an
The wide bathtub was filled with warm water. Shawn threw Angie in and sat on the side, smoking leisurely.Angie shrank into the water, her arms folded over her chest, her back to him. Angie clenched her teeth, hoping that the nightmare would end soon.As long as she thought of how Avery had been humiliated, she felt that everything she had paid for was worth it. Didn't Blake like Avery to be pure and clean? As long as she wasn't clean, Blake would definitely not like her anymore.She was tormented by Shawn throughout the night, and the next day, she fell asleep for the entire morning. By the time she woke up, it was already past one in the afternoon. Her entire body was sore as if she was about to fall apart. But she couldn't care less about that, all she could think about was the deal with Shawn."Where's Shawn?" Angie pushed the door and walked out, casually grabbing a maid and asking."Sir had instructed that you should rest in the room. When he is not busy, he will come to see you
Avery was immediately shocked. She had never seen Louis like this before. He was like a ferocious beast and completely lost his reason."Louis, let me go. What are you doing?!" She kept struggling, and his mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol that made her dizzy. Her heart was beating wildly in his chest, and for some reason, she started to feel fear.Avery was extremely afraid, and could not care about anything else. She bit down on his tongue, and the strong stench of blood spread through her mouth, finally awakening Louis's mind.He struggled to let go of her, while Avery's body slid down the door weakly onto the ground. Her arms were tightly wrapped around her chest, and her body was shaking non-stop, tears immediately gushed out, "Louis, do you know what you're doing?"Louis clenched his fists tightly, this was an extremely huge test for a man. He had been drugged, and the woman he loved was right in front of him, so he couldn't touch her. No, why shouldn't he? He loved
