"Dean, don't get frustrated over such small matters." Angela poured him a glass of water. "Who are you killing Avery for? I never said I wanted her dead." "I have a daughter called Natalie. She is the one behind what happened in Ylore. I want to kill Avery because I don't want her to find out that Natalie is behind it." Angela chuckled. "I thought you don't really care about your daughters?" "Natalie is different. She is now the person in charge of Tate Industries," said Dean proudly. "Her talent surpasses that of my two sons. I want to remove Avery from her path so that she can obtain Tate Industries.
"I see. But how would you benefit from helping her? You haven't acknowledged her as your daughter, right? If you help her out and in the end, she refuses to see you as her father, then all this effort will be wasted," Angela reminded him. "The consequences of killing Avery Tate can be quite heavy to bear!" "It's not like I've succeeded." "Are you going to try again?" Angela studied his side profile. "Do not get in the way of my plan for the sake of your daughter. I won't allow anyone from stopping him fromfrom executing my plan." "Relax, Angela. Even if I were to kill Avery, I won't leave any breadcrumbs for anyone to pick up." By the tshe returned home, it was already seven at night. It was not early nor late for her to return.

Wilson pretended not to notice her gaze and looked away. Avery immediately concluded that her bodyguard had informed Mike and Hayden about what had happened.
Mike and Hayden heard the sound of a car engine going off from the yard and immediately stepped out of the living room.
"Mom!" Hayden hurried over to Avery and studied her belly.
"It's just a small wound." She grinned at him. "It'll be better in a few days." You will brush it off as a small vound so long as it doesn't kill you.
'ou bled so much and even the loctor told you to be on bed rest for he next few days." "What's wrong vith you?" asked Mike as he glared it the bodyguard. "I told you to rotect her :f":RNT: you've let her get njured again!" >w"I..." Avery's bodyguard struggled to argue.

Bobby wasn't really trying to killand that's why he didn't stabin the heart," Avery said white walking into the living room. "If it's really that bad, the doctor would have insisted that I stay in the hospital. Don't worry." "How can we not worry? Bobby might have failed to kill you, but Dean is definitely not going to stop here." Mike followed her into her room. "I've hired ten other bodyguards and starting tomorrow, they are going with you wherever you go." Avery stared at him in disbelief.
"This is a decision Hayden and I made together after a discussion, so you don't get a say. Dean wants to kill you and you have to keep looking into the Jennings family, so you can't avoid contact with them altogether... One bodyguard is not enough to ensure your safety." Avery went to her closet and took out a set of pajamas. "Alright, go out! I want to rest." She felt extremely exhausted, probably due to the blood loss.
"You can't be thinking of skipping dinner, can you? The nanny made you soup. At least have ssoup." Mike was worried that she would be hungry later.
"I will have it after shower." "Oh... Be careful not to get water on your wound when you shower." Mike simply did not feel assured. "Why don't I call the nanny here to help you?" She sighed with resignation. "It's really a small wound. I wouldn't be able to walk if it's that bad." "Alright, then! Go ahead! I will put the soup into a bowl to let it cool down a bit," he said and left the room.
