Chapter 483
When Allie spotted the disbelief on Nicole''s countenance, she realized thetter didn''t know Avery was
pregnant. I wish I could p my big mouth right now! Why did I tell her that? What if a crack is formed
in Nicole''s rtionship with Cayden because of this unborn child?
Thus, she leaned on the couch, held Nicole''s hand, and coaxed, “The baby was purely an ident.
None of us expected it to happen. Only someone as shameless as Avery can do something as
embarrassing as getting pregnant before marriage. However, you don''t need to worry about that. The
Moore family is capable enough to raise multiple children, much less just one more. Your rtionship
with Cayden won''t be disturbed because the housekeepers and I will be around to take care of the
children.”
As she degraded Avery, shepletely forgot that she also got pregnant before marriage.
Hearing what his wife said, Jeffrey coughed loudly.
Immediately, Allie shut her mouth. Meanwhile, Nicole didn''t notice that detail because she was still in a
state of shock to hear about Avery''s pregnancy.
She could feel her heart bleeding. Oh, no. Another pregnancy?
Still, she smiled and pretended as though she had a big heart. “You must be jesting, Mdm. Allie. Being
able to marry Cayden is a blessing. As for kids, I love them. They''re cute and soft. Not to mention they
smell nice. Besides, having children in a house makes the atmosphere more lively!”
“You''re such a good kid, Nicole. All of ire''s efforts in raising you didn''t go in vain. Your personality is
exactly like hers.” Allie nodded with satisfaction. I think Nicole''s pretty good. She''s pretty, sensible, filial,
and magnanimous! Sometimes, she even brings me gifts! She''s way better than that Avery.
Gently, Nicole replied, “You''re exaggerating, Mdm. Allie. There''s no way I''mparable to Mom. She''s
a genuine elegant woman, while I still need to study more.”
In response, Allie frowned. I still remember what ire was like when she was younger. Back then, she
was a woman with refined beauty. She was kind, gentle, innocent, and incorrigible. It''s like she has all
the good traits a person can possibly have. Even though the other girls and I weren''t that much
differentpared to her when we grew up, she always appeared more exalted than us. Hence, she
was constantly surrounded by sons from affluent families and high-ranking officials. While I was
envious of her, I also admired her. Then, when William fell in love with her at first sight, he got engaged
to her while she was still studying. Meanwhile, I was treated like a ything by those rich men''s sons.
They would always end up abandoning me, regardless of how my romantic rtionship with them
went. When I was forced to work in a nightclub as a courtesan, I had enough of my awful life and did
what I had to do. Although, I must say, seeing ire raise someone else''s daughter like a princess
while her biological daughter became aughingstock and a free baby machine for my son makes me
feel so good. I feel like I''ve finally won for once.
Thus, she uttered a remark with double meaning. “That''s right. Your mother did raise a good daughter.”
Nicole was aware her mother was once best friends with Allie, but she wasn''t sure why they drifted
apart and stopped being friends.
Since she wanted to please Allie, she naturally also wanted to repair her rtionship with her adoptive
mother. However, when she noticed the odd expression on the older woman''s face after bringing up
her mother, she cleverly stopped continuing that topic.
Upon seeing that her time was almost up, she said, “I still have matters to attend toter, so I won''t be
able to keep you and Old Mr. Moorepany any longer, Mdm. Allie. Old Mr. Moore, I''ll be taking my
leave now. I''ll visit again if I have time.”
Pulling Nicole''s hand, Allie suggested, “How about you wait until Cayden returns, and I''ll ask him to
send you back?”
In the past, Nicole absolutely would''ve waited for Cayden to return. However, she had more important
things to do, so she rejected the offer. “It''s alright. I may not have enough time if I wait for Cayden to
come back. I''ll be going now.”
“Very well. Next time, call us before you visit. I''ll ask the driver to pick you up,” proposed Allie with a
smile as she touched the bracelet Nicole had gifted her.
Jeffrey spared a few more words with Nicole, reminding her to be careful on the road, before heading
upstairs.
After Nicole left the Moore residence in her luxury car, she drove speedily down the highway.
She then called someone on the phone, telling that person she would be there in around ten minutes,
and hung up.
As she narrowed her eyes, the look in her eyes became even more vicious. I can''t believe that b*tch
Avery is pregnant with Cayden''s child. Heh, then again, it''s hard to say if she''ll live long enough to give
birth to the baby. You want to use the child to secure your position, don''t you, Avery? In that case, I''ll
show you just how delusional you are!
...
Considering what happened at the engagement banquet and Cayden''s uing n, it wouldn''t be
wise for Avery to show herself in public. Thus, she took a long break and cared for the baby in the new
mansion.
The environment of the new mansion was great. Not only was it surrounded by various floras, but there
was also ake and a fake mountain nearby. The security there was top-notch, too. asionally, the
children would keep herpany. However, after resting for half a month, she got a little bored and
wanted to go back to work.
One morning, when she was tutoring the twins, Alina called, saying George was sick and wanted her to
visit.
It was then Avery recalled that every time she called her family, she only told them she was doing fine
and hadn''t exined her situation with Cayden to them during the past two weeks.
She didn''t meet up with them after the engagement banquet because she felt contrite. The more she
thought about her grandfather, the more she felt guilty.
However, she was worried about her grandfather''s condition. Hence, instead of waiting for Cayden to
return, she texted him, telling him where she was going. Then she called the driver Cayden hired for
her to bring her to where ke was.
Meanwhile, Nicole had been feeling exasperated for the past few days. For some reason, scandals
about her exploded all over the media in a single night. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
For example, reports about her temper tantrum on the filming set, her usage of a double to film scenes,
and many others. However, those were minor scandals inparison to her dark history in the
orphanage.
Someone managed to unearth everything about her past, including everything she did to Stephanie
and her lowly background.
Her image as a pure and innocent woman was severely damaged overnight.
In response, she begged her father to use his influence to suppress the negative news.
Unfortunately for her, even when her father did that, the news would simply spring up somewhere else,
as though whoever was behind the act wasn''t afraid of William''s background. It infuriated Nicole, so
much so that she felt like she was on the brink of mental copse.
What was unsettling her the most was that the famous private detective she hired to track Avery still
hadn''t found a trace of his target after so many days.
Her phone rang just as she was smashing things in her home out of frustration. She immediately
picked up the call when she saw it was from that private detective.
Light returned to her gloomy eyes once she heard what he had to say.
After she hung up the phone, a vicious look swirled in her eyes. I''ve finally found her! It seems like my
efforts weren''t for naught. This time, I''ll make sure Avery''s dead!
