Chapter 97 The Call


    Chapter 97 The Call


    In the present moment, La was ying with the two children in the warm room. They were fraternal


    twins. The elder brother, Ethan Hill, had a name personally chosen by Jacob, while the younger sister


    was named Cynthia Hill by La.


    "Cynthia,e to Mommy."


    Cynthia, physically weaker than Ethan, couldn''t walk as steadily as him. Over the past few days, Ethan


    had already been able to walk on his own without any problem, but Cynthia had to move slowly with the


    support of the sofa.


    She called out "mom" like a baby bird.


    "You''re such a good girl. Mommy will give you a hug."


    La then looked at Ethan. "Ethan,e to mommy too."


    Ethan nced at her momentarily, then quickly looked away, showing no intention ofing over. The


    indifference in his eyes mirrored that of Jacob.


    Ever since Jacob sent him back, this child would always look outside, ignoring everyone around him.


    He became even more introverted, and even though he would asionally call out "mom" when he fell


    asleep, no amount of snacks could coax him to say it when he woke up.


    Doubts arose in La''s heart. This child seemed to have no affection for her from the beginning.


    Even though they came from the same womb, their personalities werepletely different.


    La''s gaze fell on him, lost in thought when her assistant walked in. "Miss, everything has been taken


    care of. I used my connections to expedite the approval process, and it should go through soon."


    La handed the children over to the nanny, opened a bottle of red wine, and watched the dark red


    liquid flow into the ss. Her lips curled up slightly. "I want to see how long she can keep her


    "Miss, in fact, Mr. Hill and Avery have already divorced. Mr. Hill ispletely devoted to you. Why go


    through all this trouble?" the assistant said.


    La coldly red at the assistant. "What do you understand?"


    The assistant trembled in fear and quickly lowered her head. "Yes, I spoke out of turn."


    La knew well that Jacob''s kindness towards her had nothing to do with love but was merely out of a


    sense of duty. She initially thought that Grace''s death would make himpletely disgusted with


    Avery, but after they divorced, his feelings towards Avery seemed even stranger.

    As long as Avery remained, La could not find peace.


    She had waited for several days but couldn''t wait for Avery to walk into the trap herself. She didn''t


    believe that Avery could still feel settled after turning the Adams Mansion into a ughterhouse.


    Soon enough, Avery''s number appeared on her phone screen, just as she expected.


    Lazily answered the call. "Hello."


    "It''s me, Avery." Avery''s voice sounded slightly annoyed.


    "What business do you have with me?"


    "La, it''s obvious to everyone what you want. Why pretend to be ignorant?"


    "In that case, no need for small talk. I''ll be waiting for you at Willowbrook. Oh, and bring Isabe


    together."


    After saying that, La hung up the phone directly. Avery''s expression darkened. La was clearly


    looking to humiliate her further. Last time, Isabe stood up to her, and now La was waiting to settle


    the score together.


    Avery looked at Isabe, who was currently making soup in the kitchen, humming a tune,pletely


    unaware of what was going on.


    "Be, I''m going to the supermarket. I''ll be back soon."


    "Do you want me to apany you?"


    "No need, I just need some fresh air."


    Considering Avery hadn''t been involved in any entertainment activitiestely and focused solely on


    taking care of her health, Isabe didn''t suspect anything. "Thene back early. I made soup for you


    tonight."


    "Okay."


    Avery smiled and nodded, grabbing her hat and scarf, fully wrapped up, and hailed a taxi to leave.
