Chapter 531
Chapter 531 Fate Was Kind To Us
As for Marvin''s sudden change in his testimony, although he was already in prison, arge portion of
the illegal assets was still nowhere to be found. They were still unable to discover where the missing
funds had been transferred to.
However, via his stealthy investigations, Cayden had managed to discover that Marvin was keeping a
mistress and an illegitimate child.
Before the crime took ce, Marvin had secretly brought the mother and child to Sumanthova. He had
also transferred arge number of assets and listed them under his illegitimate child''s name.
Cayden used them to threaten him. If Marvin refused toply, not only would he lose his assets, but
he would also put the mother and son in danger.
Intimidated and despite harboring a deep hatred in his heart, Marvin chose to give in to Cayden''s
demands in the end.
Cayden was exceedingly cautious and dared not make a single mistake as the pieces fell into ce.
This was because he would be unable to extricate himself if there happened to be a loophole in any of
the links.
Avery admired Cayden''s overly calctive mind as she listened to his short and concise exnation.
Ten years ago, he had already been so sophisticated and shrewd as he schemed against the adults.
Compared to him, she had merely been a cowardly girl with low self-esteem. She could notpare to
him at all.
Unable to help herself, Avery said, “Ten years ago, I only knew how to bury myself in my studies. I was
also fairly clueless and dared not interact with others much. You were already learning the ropes in
business with the others by then. You went home to study business when you vanished from the town''s
high school all of a sudden. It''s no wonder... Did you know? I went to the ces where you''d hang out
every day after you left. The sports field where you use to y basketball, the cafeteria, and your
ssroom. I looked forward to seeing you appear every time I went to those ces. However, I was
alone from the beginning until the end. I thought we''d never meet again in this lifetime, but fate was
kind to us in the end. We managed to meet and fall in love again.”
“Love will find a way,” Cayden murmured as he hugged Avery tightly and stroked her soft skin.
Back then, Cayden''s grandfather had urged him to return home and take over Moore Group. Cayden
had left in such a rush that he did not have the chance to bid Avery farewell.
He had assumed that his feelings for Avery were an unrequited crush, but she had unexpectedly
returned his feelings. He was truly a very lucky person.
“The doctor told me that my leg will recover in about a week. I''ll be going back to work then.” Avery
grinned. After recuperating for almost three months, she was utterly bored with reading nothing but
books every day and she had fallen behind in her work. If she continued to remain in that state, she felt
she would be left behind by society.
“Okay.” Cayden looked at her, amused. “You really can''t bear to take it easy, can you? Most women
would be thrilled at being pampered by their men and enjoy the idle life. Instead, you constantly think
about going back to work and can''t forget it even when you''re supposed to be recovering at home.”
In addition to handling work from thepany, Cayden was aware that Avery had taken additional
work on the side while she was recuperating. She would sit in front of theputer daily and be so
immersed in her art that she would asionally forget to sleep and eat. It left him speechless that she
was far busier than a CEO like him.
Half-jokingly, Avery replied, “I enjoy a busy life. Work makes me feel fulfilled and I feel uneasy when I
can''t work. I''m probably not suited for an idle—ah!”
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly screamed. With his heart in his throat, Cayden asked,
“What''s wrong?”
“Our baby just moved.” Avery grabbed Cayden''s hand and ced it on top of her stomach.
She was five months into her pregnancy. As she was pregnant with twins, her stomach was obviously
showing. However, this was the first time she had experienced fetal movement.
Cayden touched Avery''s abdomen with his calloused hand and felt a faint movement.
Although the sensation was faint like the flutter of a butterfly''s wings, he still felt a silent wonderment.
Avery was currently nurturing the flesh and bone of their love.
When Avery had gotten pregnant with the twins, they had nothing but physical intimacy between them.
The two of them barelymunicated, and the act of having him gently caress her pregnant stomach
like he was doing now was unheard of. Now, Cayden had a wife, children borne of love, and a career
that belonged to himself. He felt that he had truly found happiness.
Meanwhile, Nicole had been living a life without worry ever since she arrived at the Lambert residence.
However, she cried her eyes out when she realized her sole bargaining chip had been taken away from
her before she had the opportunity to use it.
The contents of the disk had been revealed, but it had no effect on Cayden whatsoever. Instead,
another man who looked like him had taken the me and gone to prison in his stead.
Nicole hadined to her father in hopes that he would sort things out for her. However, she had
only received an insincere apology from Cayden in front of the media as a result of that.
That was not what she wanted at all.
What Nicole sought was the position of the young madam of the Moore family. Ultimately, she ended
up with nothing.
The most bizarre thing out of the whole affair was how public opinion, which had been in her favor at
the start, dramatically turned against her all of a sudden. The scandals she had undergone before were
once again brought to light. Even her lowly origins and biological father who had a gambling addiction
were dredged up.
During the interviews with the reporters, Daniel had used her of being unfilial and abandoning him
when he sought her help when he had been terribly sick. He told the media that she refused to
acknowledge him as her biological father and called him a beggar. Moreover, she had ordered
someone to beat him up and toss him into the wilderness.
Daniel had even provided some evidence lest the public refused to believe his tale. The quality of the
video was not great and it was obvious that the footage had been secretly taken.
Despite that, Nicole''s face in the video was clear as day.
In the video, Nicole could be seen behaving condescendingly. She stared at Daniel as if he was an
insignificant ant and insulted him with obscene words. The video shattered theizen''s good opinion
of her.
Someone wrote: Wow, is this really the innocent goddess, Nicole Lambert?

Anothermented: Unbelievable! How can the innocent goddess Nicole be so vile in private...
A third eximed: No way, my goddess! I''ve been her fan since her debut. How can her true self be
so... No, no, no! I don''t believe this...
A fourth replied: What''s there not to believe? Do you think a girl with a proper upbringing would behave
as she did in the video?
Nicole''s reputation had taken such a huge blow that not even thepany''s PR department could do
anything for her.
She had no choice but to hide at home for the time being and avoid being seen.
Anxiously, Nicole waited for her adoptive parents to quash the negative press about her.
However, she wouldn''t be satisfied with just that.
She suddenly thought of someone after being forced to stay home quietly for some time.
Her eyes, which had been lifeless, gleamed maliciously.
