ous and indignant Averie was, Vera grew more sure that Carlos ng act was only a show. But then, how loving could a man who killed his wife and children be?

and Averies

A man like Carlos would only desire a woman he did not have. Once the woman was within his grasp, he wouldn’t be bothered to treat her nicely. He would probably never pamper anymore.

“This is our fault. I’ll compensate you. State your terms.” Carlos’s voice was indifferent, as though it was routine. He hadn’t realized how nervous he was when he saw Vera being hit just now.

“I can ask for anything?” Vera raised a brow. Even though she and her sons had miraculously survived, she still hoped that Carlos and Averie would pay for their murderous actions.

“Don’t go too far, Miss Vivian,” Averie shouted anxiously. She was afraid Vera might demand something unreasonable and threatened her position.

“Get out.” Carlos’s patience with Averie had reached its limit.

“Carlos, I…” Averie began. She felt wronged and looked at Carlos with teary eyes. Why couldn’t Carlos see she was bullied by Vera?

“Get her out of here,” Carlos ordered the bodyguards. He wanted to speak privately

with Vera.

“Carlos, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I won’t do it again…” Averie kept apologizing but was still dragged out by the bodyguards and s**t*s.

“Hold up.” Vera wanted to make things clear before everyone. “I know I can’t be compared to Miss Powell, and I wouldn’t dare to ask for much. I’ll be grateful if Miss Powell stays away from me from now on.”

Her meaning was clear. If Averie were smart, she would leave Vera alone. Vera would deal with her later. But if Averie came looking for trouble, Vera wouldn’t hold herself back. She could beat Averie up each time.

Averie naturally flew into a rage. Carlos, however, didn’t give Averie a chance to

Only Vera and Carlos remained in the room. The atmosphere was awkward and uncomfortable.

“Are

you satisfied?” Carlos suddenly spoke coldly, ending the silence.

Vera sat weakly at the head of the bed, looking like she hadn’t completely

recovered from the sedative. She tightened her fingers on the thin blanket. “Excuse me?”

“How can a woman who single-handedly dealt with several kidnappers be beaten by someone who had always been pampered?” Carlos had been suspicious for a while. Even considering the effects of the sedative, Averie shouldn’t be able to hit Vera so many times.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I can’t afford to offend Miss Powell,” Vera replied, “You’re backing her up, Mr. Monroe. I’m just someone ordinary. It’s natural for me to be afraid. What if the next shot you give me is poison?” Vera reached up and touched her face, her eyes filled with mockery. “I’m beautiful It’s natural for me to want to live.”

Carlos knew he was in the wrong but showed no shame. “The sedative was necessary. I promise there won’t be a next time if you and Dr. Miracle can cure Neil.”

“Seems like you don’t understand Dr. Miracle and the power of the Ford family,” Vera mocked coldly. “Ramon might have saved that child if not for the sedative. As for now…” Vera snorted. “You can dream on!”

Carlos even resorted to using sedatives to achieve his goals. Who knew what outrageous things he might do in the future? Vera regretted involving Ramon in this and now wanted Ramon to leave as soon as possible.
