Chapter 295


    As Avery didn''t manage to meet Nina and had no clue about thetter''s condition, she began to worry.


    Unfortunately, there was little she could do about Isabe. Thetter''s grudge against her was


    extremely deep and would cause a big scene whenever her temper red. However, at the end of the


    day, Avery''s hands were tied on the ount that Isabe was still Nina''s mother.


    Suddenly, Cecelia sprang to mind.


    If she were to visit Nina, Avery figured that Isabe wouldn''t chase the former away regardless of how


    unreasonable she was.


    With that, Avery gave Cecelia a call and tactfully exined that Nina was gravely sick.


    Due to the bad blood between her and Nina''s mother, she hoped that Cecelia would be able to visit


    Nina on her behalf.


    Nevertheless, Avery hid the truth about Nina from Cecelia, as kidnap and abuse was a traumatizing


    experience for a girl.


    In response, Cecelia swiftly agreed and promised to visit Nina right after work. She also asked for


    Nina''s address to be sent to her phone.


    By the time Avery got home, she was both physically and mentally drained.


    After changing into her sandals, she went to take a shower. No sooner had the hot water droplets


    sshed her neck than she felt a stinging pain where the residual scratch marks were. Instead of


    treating the wound, she endured the pain as the hot water continued to run over it. After all, it was


    nothingpared to what Nina had suffered.


    Avery''s eyes closed in silence thereafter...


    Dn. He''s the one responsible for all this!


    Avery had no idea what drove Dn''s obsession with her. Not only did he almost do her in, but he also


    harmed her best friend. His actions were so unforgivable that killing him alone wasn''t enough to quell


    her hatred.


    Meanwhile, a storm was brewing at the Moore residence.


    Cayden had just arrived with the two children when he was greeted by the sight of Jeffrey waiting in his


    seat. Thetter was holding a walking stick and had a grim look on his face.


    As for his mother, Allie, her outfit and makeup were just as exquisite as they always were. On her wrist


    was a new pair of crystal bracelets, and she was constantly unting it at Lily.


    Consequently, the sullen-looking Lily was further filled with jealousy and indignance.


    Even Kendrick''sckadaisical attitude was nowhere in sight. Instead, he too was seated on the couch


    with a serious expression on his face.


    Upon Cayden''s arrival, Kendrick gave his brother a knowing look as if to say. There''s trouble, Cayden.


    Grandpa has learned about the post titled The Rich''s Scandal and is going to put you in your ce!


    Ignoring the look on his brother''s face, Cayden patted the children on their heads.


    At his cue, the two adorable children ran up to Jeffrey with one on each side. Faced with their attempts


    to pacify him, Jeffrey could feel most of his anger melting away. In fact, he had almost forgotten about


    the scandal involving his grandson until Lily let out a snort.


    With a sarcastic tone, she remarked, “Have you finally decided toe home? News of you beating


    Dn up over Avery has spread like wildfire. Now that the Moore family is disgraced, isn''t it time for


    you to intervene, Dad?”


    Upset by thements, Allie retorted with a frown, “Lily, how can you believe those unfounded rumors


    on the inte? Do you know how exceptional my son is? Everyone can clearly see how much he has


    done for the family. Therefore, there''s no way he would recklessly involve himself with a woman.


    Instead, it''s that shameless Avery who keeps clinging onto Cayden.”


    Lily sneered, “Allie, your son is now embroiled in a huge scandal. And yet, instead of reflecting upon


    your mistakes for not teaching him well, you continue to shamelessly deflect your responsibility? I


    guess the children born of someone despicable would continue to be a disgrace. Just think about what


    he has done!”


    “Obviously, he pales inparison to your son who only knows how to live a hedonistic lifestyle.


    Certainly, no one is his equal when ites to doing that. He spends all his time around women


    without any care in the world. Sooner orter, you''ll find his dead body on one of their beds.” Allie''s


    rebuttal was equally vicious.


    At the receiving end of Allie''s eloquent yet scathing words, the prim and proper Lily trembled in rage.


    It was impossible for her toprehend how Bruce had fallen for such a vulgar and unrefined woman.


    After all, one could never fake an elegant facade for a long time.


    Meanwhile, Kendrick was rendered speechless.


    F*ck. I didn''t even do anything, and yet, I''m the one being ridiculed. Life sure sucks!


    Feeling distraught watching his two daughters-inw quarrel, Jeffrey felt the urge to kick them both out


    of the house.


    As his walking stick mmed heavily on the ground, he ordered in an authoritative tone, “Enough!


    Whoever makes another sound should get out.”


    Even though Jeffrey''s anger had shut the twodies up, it didn''t diminish the brimming hatred they


    harbored for each other.


    After watching Cayden taking a seat on the couch calmly, Jeffrey—in no mood to beat around the bust


    —questioned candidly, “Cayden, is the news about you, Avery, and Dn on the inte true? Since


    Avery and Dn got together first, did you interfere in their marriage as the third party?”


    Triggered by what she heard, Allie defended her son, “Dad, how can that be? Cayden is so much more


    eligible than Dn, so why does he need to break up thetter''s marriage? Besides, Avery is obviously


    a woman with loose principles. Daughters born out of lowly families can never amount to much. It must


    be she who tried to seduce Cayden instead.”


    Allie threw her son a nce. Her son Cayden who was steady and mature was the man of every girl''s


    dream. Even the state secretary''s daughter, Nicole, fell head over heels for him, a testament to how


    charming he was.


    Consequently, Avery refused to let Avery have her only son.


    “Hey, are you talking about yourself? Have you forgotten that you, too, were born into a lowly family?


    Look who''s talking here,” Lily mocked.


    Allie gritted her teeth in anger. “Lily, are you challenging me on purpose?”


    “Mom, Avery is my woman. Please show her some respect!” Cayden''s expression was solemn; his


    voice frosty as ice.


    He didn''t like to hear anyone speak ill of Avery, and his mother was no exception.

    “You...” Allie scowled when her own son humiliated her in front of Lily and the others. “Cayden, you


    shouldn''t be blinded by Avery, who''s just a materialistic and selfish woman. She''s not worthy of you,


    and you certainly deserve someone better.”


    Despite raising his intent gaze to look at his mother for a long time, Cayden maintained a sullen look on


    his face.


    After breathing a sigh, Allie didn''t say anything further.


    Thereafter, Cayden turned around and dered resolutely, “Grandpa, Mom, regardless of whether you


    acknowledge Avery or ept her into the family, she will always be the only woman in my life. Going


    forward, she''s also the children''s mother.”


    As he looked at his father with admiration, Zachary shed him a discreet thumbs-up to indicate his


    approval.


    Daddy is amazing! He isn''t afraid of Great-grandpa''s authority or Grandma''s temper. For the sake of


    being together with Mommy, he truly is going all out!
