Chapter 559 Embrace
Later that evening, the interrogation inside the office dragged on in a strict manner.
However, the examiners'' attitudes toward Avery clearly improved during that round of interrogation.
Evangeline, who volunteered to testify for Avery, now sat beside her, making her feel a little less
helpless.
Nevertheless, Yulissa still stubbornly used Avery. “I don''t care how she denies it. She cheated
because I saw the ball of paper drop out of her hand!”
“Sir, I didn''t cheat.”
As soon as Avery finished her sentence, Evangeline immediately nodded. “Sir, I can vouch for her.
She''s telling the truth. I saw Avery ce the notes into her bag.”
Sensing the situation turning against her, Yulissa hastily argued, “Sir, I suspect these two have a
rtionship. They must''ve been friends for a long time, so she''s giving false testimony to help Avery.”
Evangeline uttered to the examiners solemnly, “That''s not true. Ms. Rumpley and I became acquainted
here at the exam hall, and we have never met before. The reason why I''m testifying for her is because I
can''t stand a certain someone trying to frame and nder her. I saw Ms. Yantz toss the notes under
Ms. Rumpley''s chair.”
Yulissa cursed inwardly. Sh*t! I didn''t expect this girl to be a witness. This is not good for me.
Her eyes darted around. Then, she mmed the table to cover up her guilt. “You two must have an
unspeakable rtionship! Sir, there are so many students in the ssroom, but why was she the only
one who witnessed what happened? If she really saw something, why didn''t she say anything in the
ssroom and instead wait until she arrived in the interrogation room to use me of framing Avery?
This is such a joke! Why should I set her up?”
Evangeline fell silent as she was rendered speechless.
In fact, she didn''t know if there were any grudges between Yulissa and Avery. She chose to keep quiet
in the ssroom because she didn''t want to invite trouble. However, after making a phone call, she
unexpectedly volunteered to get herself involved in that dispute.
Avery said calmly, “Dear examiners, Yulissa and I work for Trident Group''s design department. Her
employee ID is two—seven—zero—three, while mine is two—seven—eight—nine. We do have some
personal feud when we were at work, so I can fully suspect she''s taking this opportunity to get back at
me. If you don''t believe me, you can contact Trident Group''s HR department to verify my statement.”
After receiving Cayden''s constion and assurance, Avery was now exceptionallyposed.
In contrast, Evangeline gaped in astonishment.
She didn''t expect Avery was already Trident Group''s employee. I can''t believe I even encouraged her
to apply for a position at Trident Group with me before the examination.
At that moment, Evangeline felt her cheeks flushed.
The examiners exchanged nces. Then, the one in the middle spoke. “I will contact Trident Group
afterward to enquire whether you two have a strife.”
Yulissa''s right eyelid twitched. She suddenly got up from her seat and shrieked, “Sir, we aren''t even on
the same rank, and there''s nopetition between us, so how could there be any personal grudges? I
did see her cheating. As a virtuous and disciplined examinee, I reported her because I couldn''t stand
her despicable behavior. I''m definitely not falsely using her! Sir, I must go home now. Otherwise, my
parents will be worried.”
After saying that, Yulissa picked up her bag and got ready to leave.
She had to get away as soon as possible. Otherwise, all her effort might go to waste.
The few examiners were also exhausted by now.
They investigated for half a day without getting to the bottom of that matter, so after a brief internal
discussion, they decided to let Yulissa leave first.
Yulissa, wearing high heels, haughtily stood up and said self-righteously, “Dear examiners, you must
punish Avery for her cheating behavior. She''s a person with questionable character, cheating in the
examination even while she''s pregnant. I wonder if her child will be ashamed of her in the future. If
someone like her doesn''t get severely penalized, it would be very unfair to the other students.”
“Yulissa, quit making wild usations!” Avery was enraged after listening to Yulissa''s insulting
comment.
She got to her feet as well and grasped Yulissa''s sleeve. “You can''t leave. You cannot go anywhere
until this matter is cleared up!”
“Let go of me, you imbecile!” Yulissa was strong. She nced at Avery disdainfully and effortlessly
yanked thetter''s hand away. Then, she strode toward the door in her high heels.
Avery knew if she allowed Yulissa to leave just like that, it would be even more difficult for her to clear
her name.
Feeling desperate, she chased after Yulissa and grabbed thetter''s arm. In her agitation, Avery even
lost her cool. “Yulissa, I never did anything wrong. How can you just walk away after falsely using
me?”
“I falsely used you? What a joke! Stop acting pitifully. I won''t fall for your pretense! Remember to
abide by the rules next time, and don''t assume you can pass the Certified Professional Constructor
examination by cheating. How shameless!” Yulissa forcefully shook off Avery''s hand.
As she was eager to get away from Avery, Yulissa exerted too much force and identally pushed
Avery out of the room.
Avery slipped and almost fell to the ground.
At that critical moment, a pair of muscr arms abruptly wrapped around her waist, and that man
pulled her into his embrace, saving her from falling.
Everyone was stunned.
The man who entered was extremely tall and incredibly handsome. He had perfect-looking facial
features, a chiseled jaw, and a tall, well-shaped nose, exuding a regal and authoritative aura without
even trying.
His gaze was cold, and he wore a grimace, giving him an indifferent yet elegant vibe. That man could
send chills down others'' spines by just casually sweeping his eyes across them.
Treading on his heels was a corpulent middle-aged man who was drenched in sweat and behaving
obsequiously. The overweight man was an inspector named Liam Langdon.
“Mr. Moore, Mr. Langdon.” The examiners were taken aback by the inspector''s advent. More to their
bafflement was Cayden''s personal visit to the school.
Yulissa was so frightened that she had turned pale. An urge to escape from that ce overwhelmed
her at that instant.

Evangeline, on the other hand, was stunned. Isn''t this man my most adored idol, Cayden Moore? Why
is he here? Don''t tell me he''s Avery''s husband?
“Cayden, you''re back.” The moment Avery saw Cayden, the grievances she had been suppressing all
night finally burst forth like water from a broken dam.
She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
He patted her head and uttered in a maic voice, “Don''t be scared. I''m here now.”
Immediately afterward, he shifted his eyes onto the people present.
When he looked at Yulissa, he narrowed his eyes at her threateningly. “It''s just a Certified Professional
Constructor examination. Even if Avery doesn''t take part in this exam, she''s still outstanding and can
be employed at the bestpany, holding the most prestigious position in the industry. Hence, what
use is this certificate to her? Still, to prove her capabilities, she studied hard and even came to take the
exam while carrying a child. Therefore, how could she possibly cheat?”
Avery was held tightly and firmly by Cayden in his embrace.
His appearance had undoubtedly provided her with a great sense of security.
That man had always been like that,ing to her rescue whenever she was in trouble, bringing her
immense surprise.
