    Chapter 680 What Happened To Your Arm


    Colleen fell silent, thinking that Skr''s words were rather difficult to take in.


    Thomas looked visibly worried, but he wasn''t concerned about the injury on Skr''s arm. He didn''t


    even ask her about it.


    He said, “It''s best not to tell Tobias about this. Whatever happens within the family stays within the


    family. I''ll be sure to deal with Avery.”


    Skr narrowed her eyes at him. “You''re scared, aren''t you? You''re afraid you wouldn''t be able to go


    back to Quest Group because of this.”


    Thomas couldn''t deny that. Quest Group was the result of all his years of hard work. The business may


    have failed, but he refused to ept the fact that thepany had no ce for him.


    “I''ll make sure Avery apologizes to you,” he said softly. “This is a family matter. We''ll take care of things


    on our own.”


    Skr held Charles'' photo and smirked. “If you don''t want me to tell anyone, fine. Get your precious


    daughter married in front of my eyes. You know what Tobias is like. If he finds out I''ve been hurt, he


    might just do something to frame Avery as a criminal. She could even be used of murder. When that


    happens, everyone''s going to know that there''s a murderer in the Jones family.”


    Hearing that, Thomas gritted his teeth in anguish. “I''ll make Avery agree to it.”


    Colleen wiped her flowing tears with a handkerchief. My poor granddaughter. How could such a thing


    happen?


    The man in that photo is absolutely hideous! And from the way he looks, he must have a horrible


    temper. How could anyone ever marry him?


    Avery sat on the edge of the bed shaking in anger. Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she let


    out a loud scream.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Hayden thought back to what Skr had just said. She most likely already knows what I did with the


    She''s got dirt on me now.


    He stood next to the bed with one hand in his pocket. His eyes were filled with pity for his younger


    sister, but there was nothing he could do to protect his family.


    “If I have to marry him, I''d rather die!” cried Avery as she hugged her pillow tightly. “I''m going to be a


    What disappointed her most was how distant her father had be, despite how much he used to


    cherish her in the past.


    Without a single ounce of hesitation, he was going to sacrifice her for the sake of hispany.


    Thus, Avery ced all her remaining hope on her brother, hoping he would try to change their father''s


    mind. I''m not marrying that man.


    Yet, Hayden kept his head low, for his hands were tied and he knew how much Quest Group meant to


    Thomas. His father would never let go of thepany as long as an opportunity presented itself.


    Avery watched as her beloved older brother remained quiet during this crucial moment.


    From that, she knew he was not going to help her this time.


    Love between siblings? To hell with that. He only cares about what''s in it for him.


    She closed her eyes. The mere recollection of Charles'' face was enough to terrify her, let alone the


    thought of marrying him.


    Back home, Skr wrapped her arm with some bandages. She hadn''t felt much pain initially, but now, it


    was starting to hurt quite a bit. Is this going to leave a scar?


    Tobias returned and immediately noticed her bandaged arm. “What happened? Did someone hit you?”


    Skr thought back to Thomas'' promise. If I tell him everything, he might do something to the Joneses.


    “I cut myself by ident. It happened when I was peeling an apple,” she answered coolly.


    Evidently, Tobias wasn''t buying it. “Tell me the truth. What happened to your arm?” he asked sternly.
