Chapter 462


    However, Wisteria was genuinely unwilling to ept the turns of events. The man she had protected


    and secretly loved for ten years was about to be another woman''s husband.


    Despite her efforts to rpose herself, her tightly-clenched fists still shook slightly. “Mr. Moore, are


    you really going to get engaged to an insignificant employee? You deserve a better woman with your


    status. I think Ms. Rumpley is too immature in all aspects.”


    “Oh? In that case, what kind of woman do you think is worthy of me?” Cayden''s eyes glinted coldly.


    Wisteria, who had always been shrewd, failed to notice Cayden''s darkened expression because she


    was too agitated at that moment.


    She plowed on, “I think you should be with an assertive yet tender woman, and she must also be highly


    competent at work. If you were to find a wife who can stand as your equal, she could even share some


    of your heavy workloads. In that case, you won''t be so tired.”


    Cayden put down his pen, bored his piercing gaze into Wisteria, and refuted, “You''re wrong, Ms.


    Summers. I''m looking for a wife instead of a working partner. She needs to be someone who can


    connect with me spiritually. I feel at ease when I''m with Avery. That is a soothing sensation other


    women have failed to invoke within me. She''s like the missing rib the Creator had stolen from me that


    has since returned to my side. Her existencepletes my life. Ms. Summers, you''ve never


    experienced true love. That is why you assign so many requirements to your other half. When you


    finally meet your Mr. Right one day, you''ll understand how those requirements are of no importance.”


    Wisteria wanted to yell hysterically at him, disproving his statement and telling him she had already met


    the love of her life at thepany ten years ago. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    However, she didn''t dare to do so. Shecked the courage and was also unwilling to let go of her ego


    and pride.


    Her expression turned gloomy. “Mr. Moore, please continue with your work. I shall take my leave first.”


    “Okay.” Without looking up, he refocused his attention on his work.


    Wisteria, wearing a grimace, exited the room.


    When she returned to her office, she nearly thrashed everything in the room as uncontrolled rage


    overwhelmed her.


    There was a knock on the door before Yulissa entered Wisteria''s office and noticed thetter''s


    disheartened appearance. She knew Wisteria would''ve been devastated to learn of Cayden and


    Avery''s engagement, so she made Wisteria a cup of coffee.


    “Ms. Summers, have some coffee to calm yourself down.”


    Wisteria knocked over the cup of coffee. Her eyes gleamed with intense hatred. “I''m not in the mood to


    drink coffee now that things have progressed to this stage!”


    The hot coffee scalded the back of Yulissa''s hand, but she didn''t dare toin about the pain.


    Instead, she continued to persuade Wisteria, “Ms. Summers, you can''t change anything at this point,


    no matter how anxious you are. To be honest, I despise Avery more than you. That woman is nothing


    but a seductress. She made a move on Mr. Moore while simultaneously flirting with Mr. Kendrick. I


    really don''t know what Mr. Moore sees in her!”


    Wisteria knitted her brows. “Avery flirted with Mr. Kendrick? When did that happen?”


    Yulissa fabricated facies to discredit Avery. “Many employees from the design department witnessed


    this. When we were having our meal at the cafeteria the other day, Mr. Kendrick showered her with


    concern. The two conversed in such close proximity that they were one step away from kissing one


    another. What do you think of that? Isn''t she a sl*t? Not only is she not satisfied with having Mr. Moore


    as her partner, but she''s also trying to seduce her brother-inw. She''s such a loose woman!”


    Difort churned within Yulissa when she recalled how caring Kendrick was toward Avery.


    As Cayden was overly indifferent and distant, Yulissa didn''t dare to make a move on him. However, she


    had always yearned to nab Kendrick.


    Unfortunately, Kendrick never paid her any attention, and that prompted Yulissa to ce all the me


    on Avery.


    She felt if it weren''t for Avery''s existence, Kendrick, who had always been frivolous, wouldn''t have


    disregarded her.


    At the thought of Avery having such a promiscuous character yet being able to win Cayden''s heart, a


    look of immense detestation spread across Wisteria''s face.


    “I can''t believe Mr. Moore is infatuated with a woman like her. Ms. Yantz, do you think all men think with


    their lower bodies? Avery iscking in every aspect, so how is she qualified topete against me for


    Mr. Moore''s affection?”


    Yulissa replied disdainfully, “Ms. Summers, I suppose you''re unfamiliar with a few things. Some men


    are like that. They fancy these women who put up a serious facade. Perhaps Avery is very skilled in


    bed. How else could she have attracted Mr. Moore''s interest? Nevertheless, you don''t have to worry,


    Ms. Summers. A woman like her who relies on her body to captivate a man will be abandoned sooner


    orter. I have a feeling Avery will meet a miserable end in the future.”


    Wisteria fumed in indignation. “What a joke. Mr. Moore must''ve seen all kinds of gorgeous women in


    his life. I''ve served him for a long time, so I''m very familiar with his style. He''s definitely not that kind of


    superficial man. How could he decide to marry a woman simply because she''s great in bed? Avery


    must''ve utilized some special trick...”


    It was because she deeply loved Cayden that Wisteria continued to defend him even at that moment


    and held Avery solely ountable for everything that happened.


    Chills traveled down Yulissa''s spine as she saw how Wisteria, an overbearing person, lost her temper.


    Still, Yulissa braced herself and suggested, “Ms. Summers, quit overthinking this matter. So what if Mr.


    Moore and Avery be engaged? You cane up with ways to force them to get a divorce even if


    they are married, let alone a mere engagement. With your intelligence, I think dealing with Avery


    should be as easy as snapping your fingers for you.”


    Wisteria suddenly burst outughing.


    She regained her usualposure a few momentster and instructed Yulissa, “That''s enough. You


    can leave now. Make me another cup of coffee to invigorate me.”


    Yulissa nodded meekly.


    After Yulissa left, the malicious smile on Wisteria''s face turned more sinister. Yulissa is right. Why am I


    so unnerved by a mere engagement? As long as they are not married, I can devise countless methods


    to break them up!


    Meanwhile, in the mansion, Avery felt nervous and uneasy all the time, even though tomorrow would


    be her engagement day with Cayden.


    The disk''s existence bugged her and constantly reminded her of that unknown woman''s harsh threats,


    causing her to feel stressed and exhausted.


    Her children sat on the living room couch, jovially ying proverbs games. Seeing her mother sighing


    from time to time, Rory decided to stop ying with her brother.


    She approached Avery and nestled in thetter''s arms. Then, Rory carefully stretched out her petite


    hand to smooth out Avery''s creased brows. “Mommy, what''s going on? You''ll be engaged to Daddy


    tomorrow, so why are you sighing?”


    Avery embraced her daughter and sniffed at her fragrant small figure before uttering mncholily, “I''m


    fine. It''s just—”


    Before she could finish the rest of her sentence, her phone suddenly red.


    All the color drained from Avery''s face when she noticed the unknown woman calling again.
