"Exactly!" Angela echoed."What do you mean Angela? Are you insinuating that my daughter was asking for it?" Amelia shouted at her, throwing her a fierce stare at the same time."Amelia, why must you use such unpleasant words?" Noah was her ex-schoolmate. If I were him, I would also take the opportunity to do something, said Allen, who laughed in a lewd manner."He went on, "Actually I thought he had a higher chance of success but unfortunately, he did not get what he wanted and Ava ended up here.""Ava is fine," James shot back after hearing their disgusting conversation."Fine?" James, I didn't know that other than being a loser, you also like to be cuckolded."When they heard the word "cuckolded", both Amelia and Joseph opened their eyes wide.They had a question burning within them."Had our daughter been..." They wondered in fear."I saved her," James said with a serious tone."You saved her? James, have you not looked at yourself in the mirror? You seriously think that a loser l
"I have received it." Jackson Bailey nodded.Having heard the news, Angela and Allen widened their eyes in shock as if they have been hit by a bolt of lightning.How did things turn out so different from what has been arranged?Wilson took a look at the stunned siblings. He then said, "The price that Ava offered matched our company's requirements, and we were happy to reach an agreement."However, Mr. Jackson Bailey, now that my nephew is beaten to a pulp, don't you people think you owe us an explanation?""Mr. Jackson Bailey." Alexander said furiously, "I know that the Bailey Group is a major company, but the Taylor's family are not weaklings that you can walk all over either. It's bad enough that you guys are fighting among yourselves, but my son was even dragged into your mess. Where's your conscience?"Angela could tell that Wilson and Alexander were trying to put all the blame on her brother and herself.Grandpa was convinced that Allen and Angela were guilty of these crimes. In
"kneel and apologize.""Turner, what are you saying?" Jackson Bailey was equally surprised by his eldest son's startling behavior.He had initially settled the issue.But Turner came out of nowhere at a crucial moment.Alexander took the chance to retaliate by retorting ruthlessly, "Turner, so you finally admit is Allen's fault. Do you think I will let this go just because you've slapped your son a few times?""Let me tell you something. My son is still lying in the intensive care unit."Simultaneously, Amelia, whose face was still wet retaliated with vigor."Turner, my daughter is currently unconscious as well." Amelia pointed at Ava, who was lying on the hospital bed, and said, "You must give us an explanation regarding what happened today.""Uncle Turner," James, who had been standing in a corner, spoke casually, "Allen, just told us that he has nothing to do with this. That this is all our fault."Turner gave James a meaningful look and gritted his teeth before turning around and
"James, Allen had knelt to apologize. What more do you want from him?" Angela said with rising resentment.My wife is still unconscious," James said with contempt and she is the person involved in the incident. Naturally, the decision is up to her."James could see that Turner schemed to put all the blame on Allen.Turner discarded someone less important to him to protect the most important person.The person Turner wanted to protect was Angela, his eldest daughter.But James knew that Angela was the real mastermind behind everything that had happened in Palm Club.James decided that he would not let this evil-hearted woman off the hook that easily.Also, James wanted Ava to see this for herself."That's right!" This time Amelia, listened to James' advice."Leave and go do whatever you all need to do." Amelia crossed her arm and ordered the rest to leave with a tilt of her head. "Stop sticking around and disturbing my daughter's rest.""You..." Angela was about to step forward and arg
Sadly, the call went through but no one answered it no matter how she tried."Did it get through?" Said Turner angrily before exhaling deeply. "Angela, you were always a careful girl. How could you make such a stupid mistake? You should have no better than to get blackmailed.""Do you know what kind of person Landon is? The guy only cares about money. If you wanted to use him, you should have been more careful. How could you let him get a handle on you and use it against you? Now the Black family, the Bailey family, and even your grandparents are in deep trouble.""Dad, our family did Landon a favor, so he owes us a favor and would never..." Even though things had come to this, Angela could not believe it."Angela, the evidence is already out there, so do not even think you can get away with it. Landon was clearly behind it. He secretly recorded your conversation and sold it to James," sneered Allen angrily in contempt."I can't believe it. Even though you were the one who caused trou
Amelia turned to look at Ava and James sitting on the couch and asked, "Ava, do you know why they are here?"Mom..." Ava glanced at James before telling her parents the whole truth about the incident. "Do you remember the time I was trapped at Palm Club?"Amelia and Joseph looked at each other and said quizzically, "Was Allen not the one behind it?""Nope," Ava said solemnly. "The truth is, Angela was the mastermind. Now that James has his hands on some damming audio evidence, they are visiting us to apologize, hoping we'll let things slide.""What?" Amelia was promptly shocked before she said angrily, "Angela, is such a bitch. I do not expect her to be so vicious by nature.""Mom, Angela is doing it to ensure I will never become the manager of the branch office." Fear lingered in Ava's heart just thinking about what she had experienced."Turner and his family are simply assholes," Amelia scolded them angrily. "For the sake of driving us out of the company, they were capable of doing
Turner was completely powerless and looked dejected. "I am such a wuss." Turner raised his hand and gave himself a slap for being afraid of his wife. He has always had a good life and the people in Bailey Group always gave in to him, so he had never acted so cowardly before. Even if his wife did not come, what had to be done needed to be done. DING DONG! The doorbell chimed. Amelia looked at Joseph before quickly gesturing for him to open the door. "Joseph, I heard Ava got discharged from the hospital, so Angela and I decided to come over and visit," said Turner as he smiled. "Hello, Uncle Joseph," greeted Angela excitedly. The two of them entered through the door holding exquisite gift boxes. When they saw Amelia, Angela greeted her politely, "Hi, Aunt Amelia." "Aunt Amelia, I got you some bird's nest and tonic while I was abroad." Angela flattered Amelia the moment she sat down. Amelia glanced at the table full of gifts and smiled greedily in joy. "Hi, Angela. Thank you f
"Ava, does it mean you have no intention of letting Angela off?" Susan spoke genially in the hope of making Ava change her mind."When you were kids, you and Angela were very close. A long time ago when you started learning how to swim, you would have probably drowned if Angela did not save you, remember?""Aunt Susan, even though this happened many years ago when they were kids, you still remember it so clearly. You are undoubtedly a very sentimental woman." James straighten his back as he spoke with a serious look on his face, "I cannot help wondering then. If your daughter was as close to Ava as you mentioned and cared about Ava, why did she keep stealing credit from my wife all these years?""If Angela cared about Ava in the slightest, she would not have let Ava at Palm Club and put her in danger."Amelia and Joseph instantly went quiet on hearing this.After all, James made complete sense here. Their daughter was undoubtedly guilty of doing it."James, did you not hear what I sai
