    <b><i>Carlos’s </i></b><b><i>expression turned ice-cold </i></b><b><i>for </i></b><b><i>a moment He de</i></b>


    <b><i>threatened by others.</i></b>


    <b><i>Averie was extremely afraid </i></b><b><i>and </i></b><b><i>quickly called her brothers to giral up. Just then, Carlos spoke, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t </i></b><b><i>help the Powell Group.”</i></b>


    <b><i>Amirah stopped </i></b><b><i>resisting and stood up, expressing her thanks. Averie, however, worriedly said, “Carlos, the Powell family’s situation is </i></b><b><i>much </i></b><b><i>worse </i></b><b><i>than </i></b><b><i>you think</i></b><b><i>. </i></b><b><i>It’s better if you </i></b><b><i>don’t.</i></b>


    <b><i>Before she could </i></b><b><i>finish </i></b><b><i>her sentence, Amirah pped her again</i></b>


    <b><i>Amirah, </i></b><b><i>unsatisfied after the p, wanted to scold Averie, whichhoroughly infuriated Carlos</i></b>


    <b><i>He </i></b><b><i>reached </i></b><b><i>out</i></b><b><i>, pushed Averie behind him, and warned Amirah sternly</i></b><b><i>, “If </i></b><b><i>you dare touch her again, I’ll make you carry </i></b><b><i>the </i></b><b><i>debts of the </i></b><b><i>Powell family</i></b><b><i>!”</i></b>


    <b><i>Being </i></b><b><i>driven out </i></b><b><i>penniless was a </i></b><b><i>favor </i></b><b><i>to this malicious </i></b><b><i>woman </i></b><b><i>Carlos threatened to make her bear the debt for a lifetime.</i></b>


    <b><i>Amirah </i></b><b><i>was scared, drawing a sharp intake of breath and behaving obediently.</i></b>


    <b><i>She </i></b><b><i>even </i></b><b><i>looked at Averie’s </i></b><b><i>face </i></b><b><i>with worry and </i></b><b><i>pped </i></b><b><i>herself saying</i></b><b><i>, </i></b><b><i>“I must </i></b><b><i>be </i></b><b><i>out of my </i></b><b><i>mind</i></b><b><i>, how could I fight with </i></b><b><i>you? Averie, are you fine? Did it hurt?”</i></b>


    <b><i>Averie hid behind Carlos, holding onto his clothes tightly, and held back her tears.</i></b>


    <b><i>“Now, the Powell family relies on you. What are you afraid of?!” Carlos couldn’t stand seeing Averie being bullied by her </i></b><b><i>family.</i></b>This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    <b><i>To </i></b><b><i>make the Powell family </i></b><b><i>behave </i></b><b><i>well during this </i></b><b><i>time</i></b><b><i>, he deliberately announced loudly. “Don’t forget that you have me</i></b>


    <b><i>behind you</i></b>


    <b><i>Averie couldn’t control herself anymore and plunged into his </i></b><b><i>arms</i></b>


    <b><i>Carlos disliked having any contact with women other than </i></b><b><i>Vera</i></b><b><i>, but because he had just made a </i></b><b><i>promise</i></b><b><i>, he could only </i></b><b><i>gently push Averie </i></b><b><i>away</i></b><b><i>.</i></b>


    <b><i>Pretending to care about her, he said, “Stop crying. If </i></b><b><i>your </i></b><b><i>eyes get swollen, how will you work </i></b><b><i>tomorrow?”</i></b>


    <b><i>Averic nodded excitedly and hurriedly wiped away her tears. She smiled brightly, “I </i></b><b><i>won’t </i></b><b><i>cry. With you around, I’m </i></b><b><i>the </i></b><b><i>happiest person in the world</i></b><b><i>.”</i></b>


    <b><i>Carlos repelled acting out this kind of emotional drama with </i></b><b><i>Averie</i></b><b><i>, so he found an excuse to </i></b><b><i>leave</i></b><b><i>. The Powell family </i></b><b><i>thought he was trying to save them and only </i></b><b><i>sent </i></b><b><i>Averie to see him off.</i></b>


    <b><i>“Alright, you </i></b><b><i>can </i></b><b><i>go back now</i></b><b><i>.” </i></b><b><i>At the elevator, Carlos emotionlessly dismissed Averie.</i></b>


    <b><i>He didn’t </i></b><b><i>want </i></b><b><i>to see anyone from the Powell family, including </i></b><b><i>Averie.</i></b>


    <b><i>Averie </i></b><b><i>had to y out her act of being virtuous and understanding advising him to be careful on the way </i></b><b><i>home</i></b><b><i>.</i></b>


    <b><i>She then watched him leave like a thoughtful wife. Only after the elevator doors closed did she change her expression.</i></b>


    <b><i>“Damn it! His </i></b><b><i>mind </i></b><b><i>is still </i></b><b><i>not </i></b><b><i>with me.</i></b>


    <b><i>Facing </i></b><b><i>the silhouette reflected in the elevator doors, she touched the scratch marks on her neck, risking disfigurement for </i></b><b><i>this cunning n that didn’t go as expected.</i></b>
