Chapter 667 The Joneses Owe You An Apology


    Avery drained the ss of champagne in her hand. “This is the quietest birthday banquet our family


    has ever had. I hope you''re happy. Your mother''s actions have caused my parents to split up. Both of


    you b*tches have caused enough trouble for my family.”


    Skr narrowed her eyes. “Takes one to know one. I didn''t like having the unpleasant past resurfacing


    as well, but some of us can''t seem to let it go. It''s a cruel irony for Irene, huh? Your mother had already


    begun seducing my father when my mother was pregnant with me. Just because her family has some


    money to throw around, she made my father leave my mother. Worst of all, you''re already scheming to


    hire somebody for kidnapping at the age of twenty. Don''t you dare think you can frighten me by hiring


    some punk. Your tactics are bing more pathetic by the day.”


    Skr''s knowledge of the matter took Avery by surprise. Despite her beautiful face contorting in fear,


    she stuck stubbornly to her guns. “How dare you use me of such a thing? Where did you even hear


    that? I treat you like my sister and you''re calling me a kidnapper?”


    Skr took out her phone and showed Avery the receipt that Charles sent her. “You can''t even get

    someone reliable to do your dirty work,” she said with disgust. “He told me everything he knew for far


    less money than you paid him. Stop pretending to be innocent, it''s getting old. If you remain in denial


    any longer, you might forget who you actually are.”


    Initially worried that Skr was secretly recording her, Avery knew that the former had nothing upon


    seeing the receipt backed by nothing else.


    Avery gazed at Skr with her hand over her mouth and eyes brimming with tears. “Why did you have


    to say such mean things?” she cried, enunciating every word so that all the guests in the vicinity could


    hear her. “I know you never really liked me because you think that I took away the fatherly love meant


    for you, but you''re wrong! I''ve always wanted to patch things up with you over the years yet you never


    gave me the chance to! What do you want me to do so that you''ll stop ming me for all of these


    ims? If it means reconnecting with you, I would admit to anything, Skr.”


    By that point, the chatter had quietened down so much that Avery''s bitter sobs reverberated throughout


    the hall.


    Prior to the outburst, Avery had surreptitiously spilled some champagne on her dress. Coincidentally,


    only a little remained in Skr''s ss.


    A group of people, including Colleen, surrounded them. Based on her horror-struck expression, she


    seemed to be under the impression that Skr had thrown her ss of wine at Avery.


    With her head on her grandmother''s shoulder, Avery wept her heart out.


    With the sudden realization of how incriminating the ss looked in her hand, Skr ced it on the


    table as a cold glint shed across her eyes.


    “What are you doing, Skr?” scolded Colleen. “Why do you have to make everybody ufortable


    on your father''s birthday? Since yesterday, your sister couldn''t stop talking about how excited she was


    to see you and how you two have a lot to talk about.”


    Skr smiled grimly. Turns out they''re all in this together. Why am I not surprised?


    She recalled how she had been moved to tears when Colleen came to see her several days ago.


    The olddy had apologized profusely on behalf of the Jones family and reiterated how she missed her


    favorite granddaughter.
