Chapter 115
Chapter 115 I’ve Looked for Him for Ten Years
Darlene’s mind was in a mess. Those intermittent memories stimted her brain. She couldn’t hear
clearly what Avery was saying, only seeing the anger on his face.
For the first time in ten years, she had memories of her life before the age
of twelve.
The boy she met when she was ten, the boy who saved her life in the deep sea when she was twelve,
she suddenly remembered them all.
Along with a familiar name, “Aurora“, they all flooded into Darlene’s memory.
Her face turned a little pale. This kind of chaotic memory, after Gustave called out “Aurora“, rushed back
suddenly and unexpectedly.
Her brain was in terrible pain. She raised her hands and massaged her temples. A voice seemed to urge
her to leave here and not reveal herself.
She supported herself against the wall and walked out, only to see a gaze full of hostility not far away,
which had been fixed on her for some time.
Abigail, who had been watching from not far away, walked over with a face full of anger and hatred. She
raised her hand and pped Darlene in the face. “You bitch, I am
Gustave’s Aurora!
“Sandra told me that was my name when I was in the orphanage. I am the one who knew Gustave very
early on. You wicked impostor!”
Darlene’s mind was in chaos. It was only when Abigail’s sudden pnded on her face. and the pain
spread to her cheek that she finally looked straight at Abigail.
Avery’s face darkened, and he quickly pped Abigail back. “Are you crazy?”
Abigail had never been pped before, let alone by a man.
She burst into tears. “You pped me? You are a man! You shouldn’t do this to a

woman!”
Avery sneered. “Didn’t expect a fool with a brain problem would know this.”
Abigail called Gustave with a wronged face and ran to Gustave.
Gustave drank a little too much and subconsciously wanted to chase after Darlene, who
was about to leave, but he felt something suddenly blocking his way.
He directly grabbed Abigail’s wrist and threw her to the side.
Abigail was flung to the side and her face turned livid. Seeing Gustave approaching Darlene, she was so
angry that her whole body trembled.
you would “Gustave, trust me. I am the Aurora you have been looking for. You said that treat her well.
For half a year in the orphanage, I was the only one who treated you well. And when I was twelve, you
saved me from drowning. Don’t you remember?”
Abigail tried to recall the words Sandra had told her and spoke them out aspletely as possible,
hoping to soften Gustave’s heart and bring his attention back to her.
However, Gustave seemed not to hear her voice, walked closer to Darlene, and continued to ask her,
“You are the real Aurora, right? There can’t be so many coincidences in this world. You also entered the
orphanage at the age of ten and were adopted at the age of twelve. You also have a mole under your
eye, and your surname is
also…”
“Mr. Walpole, I’m not. That’s just because you have a wild imagination,” Darlene interrupted him, her
voice trembling slightly, which others couldn’t really tell, but Avery did.
She was trying to conceal her panic, unease, and some other emotions.
Avery was stunned for a moment. He thought of the words Abigail and Gustave had just
said.
An orphanage, Aurora, drowned at the age of twelve and was rescued.
These words,bined together, quickly made Avery realize a truth that he was unwilling to ept. The
person who had saved Darlene’s life many years ago, the one
Darlene had been looking for all these years, was Gustave.
Avery tugged at the corners of his mouth, wanting tough, but found that he couldn’t.
What a small world! The person who saved Darlene back then, and the person who had
stayed with Darlene in the orphanage for half a year, turned out to be Gustave.
Avery wondered, so Darlene, this is gonna change your attitude toward Gustave?
Or will you choose topletely disregard everything and leave with him after learning
all of this?
A guess popped into Avery’s mind uncontrobly. He thought, if I were to confront Gustave head–on,
what would be my chances of winning?
If he stood out to help Darlene with the divorcewsuit and took her away at all costs, what would be my
chances of keeping her?
Avery had always been confident. He believed that his chances of winning were not low, at least higher
than Gustave’s.
But if one asked him if he had a hundred percent chance of winning, he had to admit the answer was
“no“.
In Baltimore, the Gard Group was influential, as was the Walpole Group.
The only difference between the two was that Avery was able to control the entire Gard Group
because Andrew was old now and could no longer control him.
However, Gustave’s father was still young and was also the chairman of the Walpole Group with real
power. He would not allow Gustave to do whatever he wanted.
And this was the only area where Avery was slightly better than Gustave.
If it were any other man, Avery wouldn’t have so many concerns. Any other man had no chance of taking
Darlene away from him.
But if it was Gustave, Avery realized that he was not quite sure.
Avery always thought he could keep Darlene by his side, but at this moment, he was
truly a little flustered.
He didn’t want to hear one more word from Gustave, so he grabbed Darlene’s arm and dragged her
outside. “It’s very cold outside. So how about we go to the hospital first? I already made an appointment
with Mr. Dawson, and he will wait for us there and
arrange for you to be hospitalized.”
Behind them, Gustave was still saying something, but Darlene did not even dare to look back. She was
being roughly dragged by Avery towards the vi’s gate.
Aleena chased after them but was stopped by Cyrus.
Unable to get past, Aleena was furious and stomped her foot, cursing Avery, “Avery, you
bastard! You only dare vent your anger on women!
“Now that you treat Darlene that badly, why don’t you just let her die outside? Why would you take her to
the doctor? You make me feel disgusted! Darlene is so unlucky to meet you! Poor Darlene!”
Avery didn’t say a word. He opened the back door of the car, shoved Darlene inside, and then got in
himself. Bang! He mmed the car door shut.
Aleena’s furious yelling from outside abruptly stopped as soon as the car door closed.
Darnell, in the driver’s seat, saw that Avery was obviously in a bad mood, and guessed Avery and
Darlene were about to quarrel.
He thought, I am just a driver, so I had better not hear that. Otherwise, I will get into unnecessary trouble.
He quickly nced at Avery’s dark face in the rearview mirror and silently raised the partition between
the front and back seats.
The air in the back seat space suddenly froze. Avery nced over and saw that Darlene’s eyes were
extremely red.
He remained silent for a long time. After a while, he pretended to be indifferent and said, “You just care
too much about trivial matters.
“It has been ten years since Gustave saved your life. Well, in fact, I can find a chance to
thank him for you in person. Besides, in that situation, I think anyone who can swim will choose to save
you.”
Darlene looked at him. Her eyes were cold, and sheughed sarcastically. “So will you do it? When I was
fifteen and about to die from my injuries, did you or anyone from the Gard family save me?”
She was like muttering, “Avery, it has been ten years. I’ve been looking for him for ten
years. There is no one else in this world who would risk his life for me.”
Avery could not keep his cool anymore. He grabbed Darlene’s shoulders and approached her. “So what
do you want to say? What do you mean?”
