Chapter 13 Vivian Flirts With Another Man

Avery asked Mary, “Did Darlene transfer the money to you?”

He knew how much Darlene cared about her younger brother Nigel. If she had 17 thousand dollars, she would have paid the medical fees for Nigel

yesterday.

Seeing Mary was stumped, Vivian whispered, “On the way here, Mary told me that a gentleman surnamed Elicott transferred it to her. That person

even called her to confirm.

“Mary, you must have gotten the wrong person. That gentleman has nothing to do with Ms. Garcia. How could Ms. Garcia let you do something like that?”

Mary immediately replied, “Yes, yes, yes. I forgot because I panicked. Ms. Garcia said that she would give me money. Then I got the money. A gentleman called to ask if I received it. I heard someone call him over the

phone…”

Darlene smiled, “Don’t tell me you want to say that it’s Nathen, do you?”

Mary immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, yes. I remember now. He is Dr.

Elicott.”

“Vivian, you are disgusting,” Darlene sneered.

“Alright, please invite Dr. Elicott to come here to confront me. Let the bank

check his transfer record. 17 thousand dollars is a large sum of money. There must be a record, right?

Vivian had never expected that Darlene couldn’t afford 17 thousand dollars, so she casually dragged Nathen in. This trick was easy to see through.

Avery interrupted Darlene with a dark face, “Enough. He wanted to help you

transfer the money, so he could just use someone else’s card. What record could there be?

“Darlene, I saw that he even paid 17 thousand dollars for your younger

brother. If you want to ask him for another 17 thousand dollars, isn’t it

easy?”

At this point, Avery did not care about the truth. Whether Darlene used Mary or not and who stepped on Darlene’s hand were not important to him at all.

What was important was that Nathen abandoned his work and brought Darlene here. He even personally took care of her and even recommended a lawyer to her, urging her to divorce.

How could an outsider like Nathen interfere in their marriage and make irresponsible remarks?

It was even more difficult for Avery to imagine how Darlene would curry favor with Nathen behind his back so that Nathen was willing to pay 17

thousand dollars for her brother.

When Avery thought of this, he became even angrier, “There is nothing to investigate. Darlene, I believe Vivian and Mary. It isn’t the first time that you

have seduced the doctor.

“I warn you. Don’t use the so–called truth to meet that doctor in private. Otherwise, not only will I bring back your grandmother’s ashes, but I will also let your brother get out of this hospital!”

Vivian swayed and moved to Avery’s side. Her slender white fingers

supported her forehead. “Avery, don’t be like this. It’s my fault. Don’t

quarrel with Darlene. I…”

Mary immediately walked over. “What’s wrong with Ms. Sheridan? Does she

have a stomachache again? Yesterday, the doctor said that Ms. Sheridan’s

health was badly damaged by the miscarriage. Perhaps, she might not be able to give birth.”

Vivian immediately interrupted Mary, “Mary, stop.”

Avery frowned. “Did the doctor really say that?”

Mary nodded in fear and did not say anything else.

Avery supported Vivian to find another ward. Before they left, he looked at Darlene coldly. “It’s best if you don’t let me see you meet him in private again. Put away your pitiful appearance.”

Darlene averted her gaze and did not look at him again.

Her heart ached. She could not tell if it was because of her illness or because

she was angry.

She even suspected that she had dug out Avery’s ancestral grave in her past life. That was why he would torture and disgust her in this life.

The ward finally fell quiet. The room was dry and warm. Darlene was very tired. She almost fell asleep the moment she touched the bed.

Halfway through, the nurse seemed to have come in to change the medicine

for her, but she had not completely woken up. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

When she woke up again, it was already night. The sky outside the window

was completely dark.

She struggled to get up, intending to go downstairs to see her brother. She

put on her shoes and left the ward.

When she passed by the next ward, there was no one in the corridor. The

door of the next ward was ajar.

Inside, Vivian and a man’s voices sounded out. Darlene felt that the man’s voice was a little familiar, but she could not remember whose voice it was.

She had no interest in eavesdropping, but what the man said vaguely

reached her ears.

“In any case, it is our child. It is a pity to have a miscarriage. Anyway, isn’t Avery willing to let you give birth to this child?

“Just pretend to have a miscarriage and let him teach Darlene a lesson. Why do you have to take medicine in advance and abort the child?”

There was a lot of information in this sentence. Darlene secretly stood outside the door and approached to listen to the voice inside.

It was only at this moment that she realized that the man inside was Jax Bullock, the younger brother of Avery’s stepmother.

After Avery’s mother passed away, his father married a woman who was only

one year older than Avery.

Vivian said in a coquettish tone, “I know you care about this child, but the doctor told me before that this child cannot be saved because of my health.

“It’s your fault. You didn’t take any measures in the past few years abroad. Don’t you know that if I have too many miscarriages, I won’t be able to get pregnant?”

Darlene’s mind was buzzing.

No wonder that after Vivian had a miscarriage in the car accident, Darlene occasionally heard the doctor say that Vivian’s injury wasn’t serious enough

to make her have a miscarriage.

It turned out that Vivian had taken the medicine in advance, in addition to

her delicate health.

Jax smiled and coaxed Vivian, “Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. It’s fine. You can have another child. Isn’t Avery not going to touch you? When you are pregnant again, find a chance to get him drunk and say that the child is his.

“When the time comes, we can use this child to control the Gallard Group.”

Darlene secretly clicked on the recording. Vivian’s voice came out again, “I’m afraid there is no chance. After this miscarriage, the doctor told me in private that I had too many miscarriages. I could no longer have children in

the future.

“Mary is now my nanny. I asked her to tell Avery about this. Avery must hate Darlene very much right now.”

Jax was displeased. “Avery? Why are you calling him so intimately? Vivian, you aren’t lying to me, right? You can’t be thinking of getting back to Avery because he believes you and loves you, right?”

Vivian pouted. “What are you talking about? Don’t tell me you

understand my thoughts.”

don’t

The voices inside stopped. Soon, there was a strange coquettish voice

coming out. They were probably kissing.

Darlene only felt disgusted. The phone was still recording. Suddenly, an

advertisement text message came in.

When Darlene realized that the phone was not on silent mode and was in a hurry to turn off the sound, the door of the ward in front of her was opened.

It was late at night at this time. In addition to the VIP ward on the top floor, there were not many people living there. There was no doctor in the corridor.

The nurses at the nurse station were also napping.

When Jax and Vivian came out, they looked at each other and then

approached Darlene without saying a word.

Before Darlene could call for help, Jax had already quickly covered her mouth, grabbed her shoulder, and dragged her into the ward.

In order to please Avery, Jax had practiced martial arts with him for a while, not to mention Jax was a man. Darlene had no strength to resist.

Darlene was dragged into the ward she lived in and was directly pressed

down on the bed by Jax.

He pressed down and said with a cold smile, “Ms. Garcia, since you heard something you shouldn’t have heard…”
