Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Evelyn looked at Avery’s excessively beautiful face, and she always refused to acknowledge Avery’s beauty in her heart.

She never worried about this issue because the woman entering the Hughes Family had to be approved by the entire family’s elders.

Just the fact that Avery was previously married already made her have no chance, but Evelyn didn’t want Joshua’s attention on another woman; she was determined to have this man.

”Mom, go get my dad to come down, I want him to properly discipline this despicable woman.” Exhausted from cursing, Evelyn took the fruit tea handed over by Harper, and took a sip.

”Bang” the whole cup was smashed on the floor, rudely saying, ”I don’t drink this kind, did you even put rotten fruit in it? It’s so disgusting?”

She turned to reprimand the maid on the side, in the Hughes Family even her taste was spoiled, household things like this were really too tart to swallow.

”Alright, Evelyn, your dad will come down soon, you sit down first, and don’t need to say much to those ill-mannered women. I’ll have Mr. Hughes chase her out, let’s see what she’ll do then.” Harper assisted her daughter to the sofa, all the while speaking with a smile.

Looking at the ornaments on her daughter, not one wasn’t valuable. Seeing Joshua really liked her, nothing could go wrong at this time.

”Evelyn, you’ve misunderstood, I did not...” Before Avery could finish speaking, Harper’s malicious glance flashed by, and she swung her hand towards Avery’s face.

This time she finally let off steam, how long had Avery and Lucas been oppressing them? She swallowed her grievances for this, but now things were different, now she had her daughter to rely on.

Now the entire Yates Family had to look to her daughter’s mood, could this woman not do anything she wanted?

”Stepmom, how can you do this?” Avery could hardly believe the mother-daughter pair before her, what had gotten into them.

She hadn’t gone to provoke Joshua, it was Joshua who came to her, but this couldn’t be said.

Could she just tell Evelyn your man asked me to sleep with him once, and he won’t bother me anymore?

Surely no one would believe that.

The words she wanted to explain were swallowed inside, she felt terribly uncomfortable, full of grievance that she was about to go crazy, yet she couldn’t find an outlet to vent.

Upon hearing ’stepmom’, Harper became even more furious. Twenty years she had done this ’step’ being, the raised hand was grasped by someone, this slap didn’t land.

”Mom, what are you doing?” Caleb saw this scene from afar and charged over crazily.

He saw the two red swollen hand prints on Avery’s face, heartbreak filling him. Before, because his older brother was around, and Avery belonged to his brother, he couldn’t do anything.

But now he just wanted to protect Avery, he didn’t want to miss any more opportunities. He didn’t want to let himself fall into that unbearable pain anymore.

”Caleb, let go.” Harper shouted in frustration, snatching her hand from Caleb’s large grasp as she scolded.

”Brother, what’s the meaning of this, this despicable woman voluntarily went to find Joshua today, took the initiative to seduce him, and you don’t help me properly discipline her, you actually dare to shield her like this, she deserves to be hit.” Evelyn saw her own brother siding with Avery, she couldn’t quite believe it.

This woman, truly didn’t know what was going on, how could she have some inexplicable charm that made all the men revolve around her?

”It’s not like that, I went to see Mr. Hughes today because of a contract issue, not to seduce him.” Avery gently stroked her stabbed cheeks, gently explaining.

No matter how embarrassed, she always could speak quietly, gracefully.

Evelyn snorted coldly, unwilling to believe, who wouldn’t be moved seeing a man like Joshua?

”I’ll say it only once, I went to Mr. Hughes purely because of the contract, please before you raise your hands, ask clearly. Also, maybe Joshua is a treasure to you, but to me, he’s nothing, nothing you understand? He doesn’t even compare to a single hair of Lucas’s.” Avery’s eyes sparkled like stars when mentioning Lucas, that kind of man’s existence felt almost blasphemous to love, to her he was a belief, a living faith.
