The moment Cassie saw Avery''s face, she furrowed her brows in confusion. Why does this Eastern
woman look so familiar?
The moment Cassie saw Avery''s face, she furrowed her brows in confusion. Why does this Eastern
woman look so familiar?
But she was certain that she had never seen her before.
Just as Cassie was about to further observe Avery, she received an urgent call.
Upon seeing the caller ID, a clear wave of annoyance furrowed Cassie''s brow.
When she answered the phone and heard the instructions, her face suddenly changed dramatically.
“Yes, Godfather, I''ll be right back!”
Immediately, Cassie strode out as swiftly as the wind in her ten-centimeter heels. She did not care
about the dress in her hands, let alone Avery.
That scene left Avery in awe. This Remdikian woman truly lived up to her reputation as a member of a
warrior race. She was incredibly fierce walking so steadily and quickly even in such high heels. Such
skill was likely unmatched, even by professional runway models.
Immersed in her own thoughts, Avery waspletely unaware that she had just narrowly escaped
danger.
...
The friendship among women was quite simple. A casual shopping trip could transform a group of
women who were once strangers into close friends.
While Vivian was changing in the fitting room, Avery had already settled the bill and packed her old
clothes into a garment bag, waiting for her outside the store with Heather.
Avery looked at the transformed Vivian and nodded in satisfaction. “This outfit suits you very well. I''ve
already paid for it. Let''s go.”
Upon hearing that Avery had settled the bill, Vivian became extremely anxious. She immediately took
out her own phone and said, “Avery, how... how could I let you pay the bill? Let me transfer the money
to you.”
Avery held her hand. “Since you''re here with me, I am more than willing to do that. Buying you a piece
of clothing is nothing. Besides, you''ve given Heather and me such valuable gifts. If you continue to
stand on ceremony with me, we won''t ept your gifts.”
Hearing that, Vivian had no choice but to repeatedly thank Avery, “Thank you, Avery.”
Seeing the two continued to exchange pleasantries, Heather grabbed Vivian''s arm and started moving
forward. “Oh Vivian, there is no need for formalities with us. Come on. Let''s continue our shopping.”
The three of them continued their shopping spree. Along the way, each of them bought a few tops and
bottoms.
Cal woke up and obediently strolled around with a few adults, neither crying nor making a fuss.
However, he was interested in all sorts of peculiar toys, and he enjoyed ying with them all by
himself.
In a luxury boutique, Vivian set her eyes on a men''s GUCCI belt. The craftsmanship was exquisite,
adorned with a 16-carat sapphire. The belt was priced at two hundred and sixty nine thousand, and
was a limited edition piece with only one avable worldwide.
Vivian was instantly captivated by that belt, her gaze unwavering.
Seeing her apparent delight, Avery suggested, “If you like it, just get it.”
After she finished speaking, she pulled out a ck card, ready to buy it for her.
Vivian waved her hands repeatedly. “No need. I want to buy this belt myself...”
She snatched Avery''s card, preventing her from paying. Avery couldn''t fight her and had no choice but
toply with her.
It was only after Vivian had paid that she blushed and told Avery, “I am buying this belt is for Sid...”
Avery joked, “You''re really good to him. I can see that you love him very much.”
Heather rolled her eyes dramatically, poking Vivian''s forehead with her finger. “I just don''t get it,” she
said. “You''re such a great woman. How could you fall for someone like Sid Newman? Apart from being
handsome, he has absolutely no good qualities. I really can''t understand what you see in him.”
“Don''t...don''t speak of Sid in such a way. He''s a wonderful person. He''s handsome, sings beautifully,
and he can y both the guitar and the piano. He''s incredibly smart, able to grasp anything after just
one try... When he smiles, I feel as if my whole world is filled with warmth...” Vivian blushed, her words
and actions all aimed at defending Sid in every possible way.
Heather pouted. “Alright, alright, Sid is perfect in your eyes. I really can''t stand you. You are such a silly
girl. Even if Sid sold you, you''d still be counting the money for him. Vivian, if you keep going like this, he
will be the death of you one day!”
Vivian smiled naively. “No, even though Sid doesn''t love me, and he isn''t gentle with me, he is my
husband. We are meant to spend our lives together. I believe that as long as I continue to treat him
well, he will be moved by me one day.”

Seeing Vivian''s dreamy expression of happiness, Avery couldn''t help but shake her head helplessly.
A woman in love often loses her sense of logic, her intelligence seemingly dipping into the negatives.
For example someone like Vivian, a woman of pure heart, once she fell in love with a man, she gave
her all. Even if she knew she was being used, even if she was left battered and bruised, she still rushed
to him like a moth to a me, without any thought of turning back.
Avery simply thought Vivian was too naive.
Sid was a yboy. When it came to treating his buddies and friends, his character was beyond
reproach. However, in matters of the heart, he was undeniably aplete scoundrel.
She didn''t have much faith in Vivian''s persistence, but it wasn''t her ce to interfere in her affairs. All
she could do was to have a serious talk with Sid, urging him to treat Vivian better.
After a rather tiring stroll, they decided to head to the nearby food court.
Each of them ordered a fruit tter with a pineapple base. Grapes were used to mimic soil, kiwi,
cantaloupe, and orange slices were shaped into petals, strawberries were the flower''s center, and
lemon was carved into leaves. It looked exceptionally beautiful.
They rested while enjoying a tter sitting on the bench in the middle of the aisle in the mall.
Since the bench was situated in the middle of the aisle, nked by a myriad of colorful storefronts on
both sides, there was a constant stream of people passing by.
Vivian looked enviously at those fair-skinned and beautiful women, thinking about what Avery said
today. If I transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan, will Sid also look at me with such
amazed eyes?
As she pondered, she couldn''t help but break into a silly smile. Gently, she tugged at Avery''s sleeve.
“Avery...”
“What''s wrong?”
“Even though I''m this unattractive, can I really be beautiful? Will I stay like this forever?”
Avery chuckled lightly. “Of course not, you just need a little sprucing up.”
Vivian looked at Avery and sighed, “Avery, I know you''re trying tofort me. Ah, I would be content if
only I were half as beautiful as you.”
Just as Avery was about tofort Vivian again, Vivian''s phone rang.
Upon seeing Taron''s call, Vivian barely managed to greet him before a thunderous tirade from the man
on the other end of the line filled her ears. Listening to his words, she was left almost dumbfounded.
Suddenly, the phone slipped to the ground. Vivian didn''t even bother to pick it up. She grabbed Avery''s
arm and started to walk out, “Avery, let''s go back quickly. Si... Sid is in trouble!”
