Chapter 2021
"Dean, don''t get frustrated over such small matters." Ang poured him a ss of water. "Who are
you killing Avery for? I never said I wanted her dead."
"I have a daughter called Natalie. She is the one behind what happened in Ylore. I want to kill Avery
because I don’t want her to find out that Natalie is behind it."
Ang chuckled. "I thought you don’t really care about your daughters?"
"Natalie is different. She is now the person in charge of Tate Industries," said Dean proudly. "Her
talent surpasses that of my two sons. I want to remove Avery from her path so that she can obtain
Tate Industries.
"I see. But how would you benefit from helping her? You haven''t acknowledged her as your
daughter, right? If you help her out and in the end, she refuses to see you as her father, then all this
effort will be wasted," Ang reminded him. "The consequences of killing Avery Tate can be quite
heavy to bear!"
"It''s not like I''ve seeded."
"Are you going to try again?" Ang studied his side profile. "Do not get in the way of my n for
the sake of your daughter. I won''t allow anyone from stopping him from me from executing my
n."
"Rx, Ang. Even if I were to kill Avery, I won''t leave any breadcrumbs for anyone to pick up."

By the time she returned home, it was already seven at night. It was not early norte for her to
return.
She spotted Mike''s car parked next to Hayden''s car in the yard and nced at her bodyguard.
Wilson pretended not to notice her gaze and looked away. Avery immediately concluded that her
bodyguard had informed Mike and Hayden about what had happened.
Mike and Hayden heard the sound of a car engine going off from the yard and immediately stepped
out of the living room.
"Mom!" Hayden hurried over to Avery and studied her belly.
"It''s just a small wound." She grinned at him. "It''ll be better in a few days."
"You will brush it off as a small wound so long as it doesn''t kill you. You bled so much and even the
doctor told you to be on bed rest for the next few days." "What''s wrong with you?" asked Mike as he
red at the bodyguard. "I told you to protect her :f":RNT: you''ve let her get injured again!"
"I..." Avery’s bodyguard struggled to argue.
"It''s not Wilson’s fault. I was the one who told him to wait outside the room. Bobby wasn''t really
trying to kill me and that''s why he didn’t stab me in the heart," Avery said while walking into the
living room. "If it’s really that bad, the doctor would have insisted that I stay in the hospital. Don''t
worry."
"How can we not worry? Bobby might have failed to kill you, but Dean is definitely not going to stop
here." Mike followed her into her room. "I''ve hired ten other bodyguards and starting tomorrow, they
are going with you wherever you go."
Avery stared at him in disbelief.
"This is a decision Hayden and I made together after a discussion, so you don''t get a say. Dean
wants to kill you and you have to keep looking into the Jennings family, so you can''t avoid contact
with them altogether... One bodyguard is not enough to ensure your safety."
Avery went to her closet and took out a set of pajamas. "Alright, go out! I want to rest." She felt
extremely exhausted, probably due to the blood loss.
"You can’t be thinking of skipping dinner, can you? The nanny made you soup. At least have some
soup." Mike was worried that she would be hungryter.
"I will have it after shower." "Oh... Be careful not to get water on your wound when you shower."
Mike simply did not feel assured. "Why don''t I call the nanny here to help you?"
She sighed with resignation. "It’s really a small wound. I wouldn''t be able to walk if it''s that bad."
"Alright, then! Go ahead! I will put the soup into a bowl to let it cool down a bit," he said and left the
room.
