Chapter 356
Nicole leaned against the wall of the restroom, feeling immensely irritated by the cat.
No matter how she tried to tempt it using the cat food, it just wouldn''t get off of the shelf by the sink. It
was an intelligent creature, indeed.
s, Nicole was left with no choice but to continue trying.
She had to inject the medicine into the cat. After all, it was needed to y a crucial part in the next step
of her n.
Taking off her high heels, Nicole climbed onto the sink barefooted in an attempt to grab the cat and get
it off the shelf.
Much to her surprise, however, the snow-white cat seemed to have read her mind. It jumped off the
shelf andnded on the ground just as Nicole had gotten on the sink.
At the same time, as it was passing by Nicole, the cat swiped its sharp ws at her delicate and
wless face.
If Nicole''s reaction hadn''t been fast enough, she wouldn''t have been able to move her arm in time to
block the cat''s ws, and her beautiful face would''ve been ruined then and there.
At that point, Nicole was on the brink of a mental breakdown, whereas the cat meowed in victory,
demonstrating its dominance over the woman.
Nicole''s face contorted in rage, and she swore to catch that godforsaken cat no matter what.
Finally, after a long and hard battle, she sessfully caught the cat and injected the green liquid into its
body.
Her sess didn''te without consequences, however, as the back of her hand sustained multiple
bloody scratches, courtesy of the feisty animal.
Meanwhile, Avery and the twins were busy looking for the cat.
They asked a couple of waiters about its whereabouts. Fortunately, someone had seen the cat running
toward the restroom and was able to point them in its direction.
As such, Avery took Zachary''s and Rory''s hands and walked toward the restroom.
Just as they turned the corner, they bumped into Nicole and her assistant.
Nicole''s makeup was exquisite, and she was wearing thetest Prada coat in pink. She paired the
bright-colored coat with a simple white blouse and ck leather pants, while both her wrists were
adorned by genuine leather gloves. Nicole exuded a powerful aura that was worthy of a celebrity like
her.
On the other hand, her assistant looked like a in Jane. She had a slightly chubby figure and looked
hardworking but weak. Overall, her appearance was a stark contrast to Nicole''s.
A celebrity assistant, as the job title suggests, managed a celebrity''s daily life tasks, but in fact, the job
was no different than being a nanny.
Avery knew that celebrities would normally avoid hiring a pretty assistant, for fear that their assistant
might steal their limelight. Naturally, Nicole''s assistant was no exception.
Avery felt a little ufortable after seeing Nicole.
Despite being well aware of the fact that Cayden had no feelings toward the female celebrity, Avery still
didn''t like Nicole.
She didn''t want to acknowledge Nicole and continued walking with the twins in tow. However, Nicole
called out to her before she could get far. “What a coincidence to bump into you here, Ms. Rumpley.”
“Plenty of people visit this restaurant, so it''s normal to run into people you know. But... Ms. Lambert, is
this really a coincidence?” queried Avery with a smile that didn''t quite reach her eyes.
Nicole froze for a moment before asking, “Where''s Cayden? Why isn''t he here with you all?” Of course,
she already knew the answer to her question.
Upon hearing that, Avery tightened her grip around the twins'' hands and shed Nicole a sickeningly-
sweet smile. “Cayden came with me. He said he''s been too preupied with work, and because of
that, wasn''t able to find time to apany us. He felt bad about it, so he rescheduled an important
business event to spend some time with us. I can''t help feeling guilty about it, but he said no amount of
money could make up for the joy he feels when he''s with his family.”
Looking at the sweet smile stered on Avery''s face while listening to her brag about her own
happiness made Nicole feel as if the wounds on the back of her hand were hurting more than they ever
did.
Despite the fiery rage burning within her, Nicole maintained herposure and appeared well-
mannered.
“I hope you''ll always be able to smile so joyfully.” She cast a meaningful nce at Avery and snorted
before walking past thetter and into a private room along with her assistant.
Avery couldn''t help but shudder after seeing the woman''s ambiguous smile.
What does that mean? Is Nicole trying to dere war on me?
At the thought of that, Avery felt even more repulsed by the supposedly sweet and loving celebrity. If
Cayden didn''t expose my identity and we weren''t dating one another, Nicole could havepeted with
me in a fairpetition. However, she clearly knew that I''m Cayden''s girlfriend and is also aware that
he has no feelings for her, and yet, she''s determined toe in between us. Clearly, her character is
questionable.
Rory looked at Avery and furrowed her brows. “Mommy, I don''t like thatdy at all, not even a little bit!”

Zachary shared the same sentiments as his sister and chimed in, “Yeah, Mommy. Thatdy was so
rude to you! Does she like Daddy? She''s so annoying, and she''s just like those evil women who tried to
pursue Daddy in the past!”
Children''s intuition was extremely sensitive. Even if they didn''tpletely understand the conflicts of
the adult world, they could feel the air of hostility that the two women were radiating toward each other.
“You''re right. Thatdy does like your daddy.” Looking at the two little ones, Avery inquired curiously,
“Did a lot of women pursue your daddy in the past?”
“Yeah! ording to Uncle Kendrick, the women just kept flowing in like a stream that never runs dry.
Some of them even tried to approach me and Rory just so they could get on Daddy''s good side. It was
super annoying, but Daddy didn''t show them any mercy. He chased them all away right away.” As he
spoke, Zachary blinked his big, round eyes continuously. It was an act that made him seem cute and
honest.
Upon finding out about Cayden''s rakish history from her own son, Avery let out a sigh.
Cayden was far too outstanding, causing many women to flock to him in droves. If he was any less
strong-willed and wasn''t a germaphobe, Avery reckoned he would''ve ended up bing a yboy
like Kendrick.
I bet he''d still be popr with thedies even if I were to marry him in the future. But that doesn''t matter
because I''ll thwart them off one by one. We have a long future together, so I''m sure I can foil all of his
admirers'' ns.
“Did I say something wrong, Mommy? Did I upset you?” Sensing how dejected Avery was, Zachary felt
a little anxious.
“No, you didn''t. Aren''t you two looking for the cat? Let''s go look for it in the restroom...”
Avery took the twins by their hands. Just as they arrived in front of the restroom, a woman bumped into
them so hard that Avery inadvertently let go of Zachary''s hand.
All the colors had drained from the woman''s face, and there were even a few nasty scratches, both
superficial and deep, on it the scratches were clearly from an animal, and it was truly a harrowing sight
to behold.
The woman ran away in terror while holding her wounded face, but she didn''t forget to turn around and
warn Avery, “There''s a white cat in the restroom that''s gone crazy. It bites anyone that enters. I''d advise
against going inside... and make sure you look after your children well.”
Just as the woman finished speaking, a white shadow dashed out of the restroom like a bolt of
lightning.
It then waved its razor-sharp ws in the air and swiped them at the defenseless Rory, who was
standing closest to it.
