Chapter 643


    Chapter 643 ire Defending Her


    Maria covered her aching cheek and looked at Dn in disbelief.


    Her eyes were bloodshot as she screamed at the top of her lungs, “How could you hit me? This is the


    second time! This is the second time you''ve hit me because of that b*tch!”


    Dn''s expression was extremely cold when he said, “Enough is enough. Avery is pregnant now, and


    you actually pushed her. Do you realize that this could potentially lead to a tragic oue of two lives


    lost?”


    Mariaughed heartily, far from feeling ashamed of her actions. She then snorted disdainfully and


    responded, “Even if it results in one corpse and two lives, she deserves it. It''s her retribution...”


    Avery took a deep breath, trying her best to keep her emotions stable to prevent any emotional


    turbulence from affecting the baby in her belly. However, when she eventually shot Maria an icy and


    murderous re, Maria retreated in fear.


    Yet, Maria would never back down. The resentment within her deepened because Dn defended


    Avery.


    Maria arrogantly raised her hand again, intending to p Avery once more. However, to her surprise, a


    slender woman with an exceptional demeanor stepped in front of her, simultaneously catching the hand


    she was about to strike with.


    Maria screamed again, “Who are you?”


    The woman before her was clearly one of privilege and refinement, yet surprisingly, she was


    unexpectedly strong. When the woman twisted Maria''s hand, thetter felt as if her hand was about to


    be wrenched out of its socket.


    “Ouch! Let go of me! How dare you? Ah!” Agonizing screams suddenly echoed throughout the


    restaurant.


    ire''s gaze was icy at this moment. “Miss, I don''t know who you are to dare cause trouble in my


    restaurant, but I absolutely won''t allow anyone to bully my customers here, especially a pregnant


    woman. Do you know that deliberately tripping a pregnant woman can lead to premature birth? Do you


    realize that your action just now was a crime? I have surveince cameras here, which had recorded all


    your actions. Mr. Wayne, call the police and have this troublemaker taken away!”


    Wayne immediately dialed the police station''s number.

    After the call connected, he smoothly handed the phone to ire. “Mrs. Lambert, Chief Lawrence


    wishes to speak with you personally.”


    ire forcefully shook off Maria''s hand, took the phone, and uttered in a frosty tone, “Chief Lawrence,


    this is ire Walsh. There''s an attempted murder at the restaurant. Send someone over as soon as


    possible.”


    Maria stumbled, lost her bnce, and fell to the ground.


    She fell and hurt her wrist, and the pain almost brought tears to her eyes.


    She didn''t know who ire was when she suddenly appeared. Yet, ire''s assertive words had


    thrown her into a state of panic. There are surveince cameras here, and the police will be involved


    soon. Even if I''m certain that Mom and Dad will bail me out, today is the auspicious day when the Reid


    and Musk families are discussing engagement. I can''t be taken away!


    With that in mind, Maria looked at Dn pitifully and uttered weakly, “Dn, today is our engagement


    day. Can you bear to see me taken away? I was just momentarily confused. I won''t be so impulsive


    again. Please save me...”


    Dn nced at Avery and the tear-streaked face of Maria. Feeling extremely irritated, he said coldly,


    “You brought this on yourself!”


    Due to ire''s personal intervention, the police arrived very quickly.


    When Maria was taken away, her mother, Penelope, was informed and rushed out. Like a madwoman,


    Penelope was hysterically scratching and wing at the police, obstructing their departure path, and


    even had the audacity to hurl insults at ire and Avery.


    Upon learning of ire''s identity, however, Penelope received a p from Derrick. Under her son''s


    meaningful nce, Penelope was terrified, and she went silent. In the end, she could only watch her


    daughter get taken away.


    Just like that, the drama ended.


    “Ery, are you okay? Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up.” In the lounge, ire was still


    somewhat worried, so she was keen to take Avery to the hospital.


    Avery felt touched when she saw the worried look on ire''s face. While holding ire''s hand, Avery


    consoled her. “Thank you, Mrs. Lambert. I know my own body well. I''m okay.”


    Even though Avery knew ire would defend and protect all the customers in the restaurant the same


    way, the former was still grateful.


    ire felt a pang of sadness when she saw how sensible her daughter was. How I wish to hold my


    daughter andfort her.


    Considering their respective identities, ire hid her inner longing, simply reaching out her hand to


    Avery''s hair affectionately. “If you feel unwell, you must tell me. There''s no need to feel inconvenient for


    me.”


    Afterward, ire chatted with Avery and shared many tips and precautions for pregnant women.


    Avery listened with a smile and nodded from time to time. Apart from feeling touched, she also felt joy.


    No matter how hard I try to pretend otherwise, I know I still yearn for a mother''s love.


    Meanwhile, in Mocset, a sharp de sank into the flesh, and the striking sight of fresh blood soaked a


    table.


    Despite the gory scene, Cayden remained unperturbed, as if the de had only cut into a piece of cold,


    hard stone.


    Inside the room, the air was thick with the scent of blood, and it was so oppressive that it was


    suffocating.


    At the same time, an eerie atmosphere enveloped everyone in the room.


    Taron''s sharp gaze was fixed on him, observing him without blinking. In Cayden''s obsidian-like eyes,


    there seemed to be no ripples of emotion, yet deep within, they harbored strong and terrifying feelings.


    With that in mind, Taron rubbed his chin with both hands and weighed the pros and cons of offending


    Cayden. This man is truly ruthless. Being ruthless to your enemies doesn''t truly define ruthlessness.


    Real ruthlessness is when you dare to be ruthless to yourself. A man who is both resolute and loyal,


    willing to ruin his own hand for another, is truly formidable. No wonder Cayden is known as the cold-


    hearted king of the business world. I want to take Sid down, but I don''t want to offend Cayden. This


    Aplothian man is merciless. If I offend him, the drawbacks far outweigh the benefits.


    Just as Taron was about to raise his hand to stop Cayden, Sid couldn''t help but shout, “Stop it, Cayden!


    I''ll marry Vivian. Don''t hurt yourself anymore!”


    After uttering those words, Sid copsed on the spot. His face went pale as he sank into despair. Yet,


    he harbored no regrets.


    In order to save him, Cayden was willing to have his hand severed.


    Sid knew he couldn''t let others bear the burden of the sins he himself hadmitted.


    As soon as Sid finished speaking, someone brought over disinfectant and gauze.


    With a swift motion, Cayden pulled the dagger out from his wrist.


    The flesh was mangled and torn at the wrist. Obviously, it was a shocking sight that could make


    anyone''s heart skip a beat. One could even see the bone exposed within.


    He was just a step away from having his hand being rendered useless.
