Chapter 331
Avery stared at the poise ire, who was drinking coffee, with disbelief in her eyes. The fondness that
she felt for thetter vanished instantly.
I know many oppose my rtionship with Cayden because of our social differences. I didn''t expect,
though, that this woman, who had just met me for the first time, would ask me to break up with Cayden
too.
Avery''s voice was hostile when she spoke as she lost all respect for ire. “Mrs. Lambert, it doesn''t
matter what kind of motive you harbored when you asked me to break up with Cayden. I won''t leave
him.”
The words spoken by ire were mean and hurtful as she yed around with the coffee cup in her
hands with unspeakable elegance. “Avery, you are now looking at your rtionship with Cayden
through the rose-tinted sses. The thing is, rtionships and marriage are two different aspects of
life. For your marriage to work, you two must be apatible match. Marriage doesn''t only involve two
people but two families. Cayden is Allie''s son, and Allie is my long-time friend. I know her well. She
would never agree for a woman like you to marry Cayden. A marriage that one''s parents did not give
blessings would notst long. Besides, what do you think you can bring to the Moore family and
Cayden? No, you will be a burden to them!”
Avery''s breathing quickened. “Whatever happens to Cayden and me in the future is none of your
business. All I need to focus on now is that he loves me, and I love him. I''ve got to admit it. I didn''t
come from a wealthy family. But that''s not a reason to ruin our rtionship.”
There was an edge to ire''s voice as she chuckled softly. “You''re living in a dream world! Ms.
Rumpley, are you convinced that being in love is enough in a marriage? Beingpatible with your
family background is one thing. There are other things to consider too. What about your views, values,
knowledge, career growth speed, and financial capability? You two need to bepatible in these
aspects too. I''m sure you are aware of Nickie''s background. She has our support. Once she marries
Cayden, she will help to expand his social circle and provide him with many resources that will greatly
benefit Trident Group!”
ire continued, “Besides, Nickie has gotten the best education since she was young. She was always
at the top of her ss. Even though she currently works in the entertainment industry, she has received
training in various skills from a young age. She and Cayden are people from the same world. They
deserve to be together because of that. I''m asking you to break up for your good. Maybe you won''t see
the problem now. But, one day, when Cayden falls out of love with you because he realizes you are not
the one for him and breaks up with you, the most excruciating pain will hit you.”
Avery got up from the wicked chair abruptly. Even though her body was trembling, the woman propped
her body straight. The aura she radiated indicated that Avery was unwilling to admit defeat.
She said to ire firmly, “Mrs. Lambert, you keep telling me that Nicole is the best match for Cayden.
Have you asked Cayden''s opinion regarding that? Did you ask him whether he likes Nicole or not? Yes,
compatibility is essential in marriage. I''ll give you that. But don''t forget that a loveless marriage is worse
than being dead! I don''t know the reality behind your marriage, and maybe Mr. Lambert spoils you so
excessively that you are unaware of the tragedy of being in an unfortunate marriage.”
Avery went on, “Here''s what you should know, Mrs. Lambert. Forcing two people who are not in love
into a marriage would be hell for them. Not only is living together torturing, but breathing in close
proximity to the other torment them! Cayden does not love your daughter. Do you wish your daughter
would be stuck in a loveless rtionship?”
At first, Avery thought ire would furrow her brows in anger and that she would retaliate to everything
Avery said. The worst-case scenario? She might even throw a check in Avery''s face and humiliate her
like they were in some drama.
If that happened, Avery could argue with ire in a fit of her frustration. To Avery''s surprise, all of that
didn''t happen.
ire merely acted like usual after hearing Avery''s words. She was calm, gentle, and patient. Her
demeanor made it seem like Avery was the one in the wrong.
In a sh, Avery kept her guards up.
She''s so great at suppressing her anger. Mrs. Lambert is no ordinary woman. No wonder she is the
wife of an official!
ireughed when she noticed the wariness in Avery''s eyes. The woman ced her cup back on the
table before voicing gently, “Avery, it''s my mistake for showing up without informing you beforehand
today. I wanted to do something for Nickie because she has been in love with Cayden for so long, and
it''s rare for her to fall in love. I hope you don''t mind me. Please forgive a mother who wants to ensure
her daughter''s wellbeing.”
ire''s attitude toward Avery was pleasant. It was as if her conversation with Avery earlier was just a
concerned mother who wanted the best for her child.

Her attitude is humble, and she is willing to admit her mistake first. There''s nothing I can retort to her
now.
Even so, Avery felt like the air on the terrace was making it difficult for her to breathe.
ire got up from the wicked chair and stared at Avery with a loving and caring expression. Mixed
emotions shed across ire''s eyes when theynded on Avery''s facial features, simr to hers.
“That''s all I have to say today. My words may have caused you some grief, but it''s all true. I do not wish
to force you to do something you are unwilling to do. It''s just that I think Nickie and Cayden would be a
better match. You are an intelligent girl. Maybe you should think about what I said.”
Avery sat on the chair as bitterness and hurt crept into her heart after ire left. She tried to tamper
her feelings by gulping the coffee down her throat. However, the tasty coffee turned nd and bitter
when it hit her throat.
Oh, so Nicole is in love with Cayden! Now I know why she always picks on me. Luckily for me, I
genuinely believe that Cayden loves me. If that weren''t the case, I would be infuriated by what Mrs.
Lambert has to say today. Who knows? I might even misunderstand his rtionship with Nicole as a
result of my conversation with Mrs. Lambert. I must take precautions when I meet her again. She is not
someone that is easy to deal with.
Avery sighed resignedly. Cayden''s perfection was a form of pressure and trouble in her life sometimes.
Meanwhile, in the lobby on the first floor, Silvia swirled the red wine in her ss before clinking her
ss with the troubled ire as she swept a few nces at the terrace.
A slim, beautiful woman stood there, eliciting a feeling of forlornness and loneliness.
With feigned casualness, Silvia remarked, “Did you realize this, ire? Just now, when I saw you
talking to that girl named Avery on the terrace, I thought she was your daughter. I would have believed
in that if you were not someone I know. Both of you are simr in terms of facial features, figures, and
mannerisms. I can''t help but wonder how is that possible?”
Silvia and ire were best friends, and her husband''s family was close to the Lambert family. Hence,
Silvia and her husband were invited to George''s birthday party too.
She was just chit-chatting with her friends on the first floor when she saw ire talking to Avery on the
terrace.
Their simr facial features and figures make me think that they are a mother-daughter duo.
Her attitude is humble, and she is willing to admit her mistake first. There''s nothing I can retort to her
now.
