Kelly was frightened. How can Avery be so powerful? Avery, that her family wasn't that rich or connected back then, she can't even afford a luxury meal not to mention good dress back then. Alex was still in shock; she didn't understand what was happening. Everything seemed like a movie to her, but it was damn real Avery is really something else. The manager turns to Avery, and he notices all his friends are hiding behind her.which he doesn't like.with a low voice he said.“Hey, don't be scared! If Mrs Avery is with you, then you don't have any problem don't be scared.”They bow their heads in shame as they relieved the hide behind Avery without damn noticing. How can the manager be praising somebody? They were all taunting. Avery faced them; her beaming face was irritating to them.Some of them immediately adjusted themselves and slowly left Avery back.“Do we have a problem? Why are you hiding behind me? Remember, we are here for the class get together not trying to use me as c
Avery left Dex hotel with her face full of smile, everything she didn't inside she enjoyed them all.next time none of them would dare talk nonsense towards her or Jeremy again.She decided to go home and tell Jeremy about everything that happened.“ thank Goodness I believed him when he said he knew the manager of Dex hotel, I thought he was kidding but, I was wrong and everything went on smoothly, beyond what I had even expected”Avery murmured to herself as she opened her car door.However on the other hand Jeremy wasn't don't he has clearly instructed Jefferson to bring each and everyone of Avery friends to him.Jeremy at that moment was worried. He doesn't want Avery to get home and he and Mia are not at home; he knows how worried she can be, and this isn't the kind of things he wants her to see. He clearly ordered on of Jefferson men to look after Mia on the order room he doesn't want her to see or hear what he's going to do them.“ I can't allow some fools to threaten my fami
All of them started to gaze around when they saw light; however, they didn't know where they were.Their hearts skipped when they saw Jeremy seated in front of them. They couldn't believe it was the poor bastard doing all of this; the bastard made them go through all of this pain just because he belongs to a gang now.They all remember Alex and the rest all remember Jeffrey face, and remember he's Avery husband,the good for nothing bastard.John was absolutely furious, and his anger boiled over as he shouted.“So you're the bastard who kidnapped us! Who do you think you are, taking us like this? How dare you! Let us go right now, and I promise I'll pretend as if none of this ever happened. But if you don't, you'll regret it.”Kelly at that moment looked to his right when his eyes caught Lawrence kneeling close to him.He immediately had a flashback, remembering what they did many years ago to almost make Jeremy lose his scholarship on his school. Kelly's girlfriend was used to set
Jeremy pulled out his phone and saw his wife, Avery, was calling. His heart skipped a beat. He knew she was expecting him and Mia at home by now, but he wasn’t ready to explain where they were just yet. He quickly answered the call, trying to sound as natural as possible. “Hey, babe!” Jeremy said, forcing a smile, even though Avery couldn't see him. He hoped the cheerfulness in his voice would mask his anxiety he's good at doing it. “Darling” Avery's voice was soft but had a note of concern written all over it. “I just got home, and... well, you and Mia aren’t here.” Jeremy’s mind raced. He couldn’t tell her the truth, not now. He squeezed the phone a little bit tighter, and he looked up things to think of something more convincing to say. “Oh, uh, yeah” Jeremy stammered, searching for a quick excuse. “I took Mia out to get her something. We’re just finishing up now. We’ll be back soon, okay?” There was a brief pause on the other end, and Jeremy could almost picture
Jeremy, sensing an opportunity for some quality family time, suggested a change of plans for breakfast. "How about we eat out this morning as a family?" he asked Avery, who had been standing in the kitchen, ready to begin her morning cooking routine.Mia's enthusiasm was immediate, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "Hurray!" she exclaimed, her voice bouncing with delight. "Can we go to the pancake house?"Jeremy chuckled at his daughter's eagerness. "Why don't we let your mom decide?" he said, glancing at Avery.Avery, despite recognizing the value of family time, seemed hesitant to venture out into the world. "It's a good idea, but I'm tired of bumping into people who seem determined to upset me," she said, a weariness in her voice that spoke of her thinning patience.Jeremy, sensing her reluctance, offered a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we won't run into anyone who'll bother you," he said, his tone confident and soothing. "I'll make sure of it. We'll choose a quiet spot, away
Avery, sensing Jeremy's unease, slipped her hand into his. "What was that about?" she asked, her eyes darting in the direction the man had vanished."I'm not sure," Jeremy replied, his voice low and cautious. "He was clearly trying to avoid being seen. It could just be a coincidence, or it could be something more."Mia, oblivious to the tension between her parents, skipped ahead, humming a tune to herself.As they drove back home, Jeremy couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. He kept glancing in the rearview mirror, scanning the road for any signs of a tail. even though he didn't want Avery to be worried, he couldn't help but the diligent for their sake.Avery, catching his nervous glances, placed a reassuring hand on his arm. "It's probably just your imagination," she said, her voice soothing. "It was probably just a random guy who bumped into you. Maybe he was on his way to do something sketchy and didn't want anyone to recognize him."Jeremy nodded, but deep down
Jeremy arrived at Blue Silver Entertainment Company, his mind already fixated on the conversation to come. Ignoring the hustle and bustle of the building main entrance, he made his way to Jefferson's office, his footsteps echoing through the empty halls. Having learned from their past oversights, the security guards at Blue Silver Entertainment Company had long ago learned to recognize Jeremy's familiar face. In their eyes, he was no longer an outsider, but a friend of the Jefferson, a friend of the company, and thus, they afforded him the respect and courtesy he deserved, allowing him to pass unhindered into the company wherever he arrived.Jeremy's heart was racing with a mix of anxiety and fury, he didn't bother with the formalities of knocking on Jefferson's office door. Instead, he burst through the entrance, his concern for his family's safety overriding any sense of etiquette. His words came out as a demand rather than a question, sharp with urgency. "Jefferson, what's going
Avery's brow furrowed with a mixture of confusion and concern as she spoke into the receiver. "Who is this?" she asked, her voice tinged with suspicion.The feminine voice on the other end responded, her words hinting at familiarity. "I'm an old friend of Jeremy's," she said, the hint of a smile seemingly audible in her voice."What's your name?" Avery asked, her voice tinged with skepticism. She knew Jeremy had no friend, let alone any female friends, so this unexpected call had caught her off guard.On the other end of the line, Edith Cowan replied without hesitation. "I'm Edith Cowan," she said, the sound of her own amusement evident in her voice. "And I know what you're thinking: what does this Edith Cowan want with me? But don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble."With a breath of what seemed to be genuine laughter, Edith continued, "I'm calling because I want to meet with you. You see, I have some information that I believe you'd be interested in."Avery's mind raced, trying
