I Hope You Will Never Regret

In the blink of an eye, Mrs Martins and the others had been in police custody for a week. On Monday at 12 pm, Chief Smith asked the police officer to release Aiden and Lily. They were surprised to be released before appearing before court.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

When they walked outside the police custody, they saw the family driver waiting for them. They rushed to the car; they were so embarrassed because they were still wearing the same clothes, they were wearing the day they were arrested.

On their way home, Lily was fuming about being detained for the whole week without evidence. She looked at Aiden and said, “Aiden, we have to sue the state for arresting us unlawfully without evidence. Why is my aunt not with us? Was she released earlier than us?

Aiden looked at her expressionless and replied, “Lily, one day you will regret not choosing Aunt Mia as your guardian. Who told you that there is no evidence? It was not my father’s intention to have us arrested.

He wanted to teach us a lesson and to learn from our mistakes. Don’t you know that, even though you didn’t say anything during our meeting, you were aware of my mother’s plot?

Before Dad went to East London, he installed surveillance cameras in the living room and dining room because he didn’t trust his wife. Everything that happened that day was recorded.

We have to thank the Lord that Avery didn’t die on that day because we would have spent the rest of our lives in prison. We have to apologize to Avery for hurting her with our words and with our actions.”

Lily shook her head and replied, “I will never regret choosing my aunt over Aunt Mia. My aunt loves me unconditionally. Also, I will never apologize to Avery. She is nothing to me.

She has humiliated and embarrassed me so many times. One day I will avenge myself.”

Aiden laughed out loud and said, “Good luck with that. What I can tell you, is that you are no match for Avery. You are inferior to her in every aspect. She is surrounded by so many people who love her, and they will never let you off if you touch her.”

Lily didn’t refute Aiden’s words; she smiled faintly when she thought about Avery’s boyfriend. He was so handsome, but she heard that he was poor. She vowed that one day she would snatch Avery’s boyfriend from her.

As soon as they arrived home, they went to their bedrooms to wash up. After that, Lily went to her aunt’s bedroom to look for her, but she wasn’t there. She saw the helper walking to Avery’s room; she stopped her and asked, “Where is Aunt Elizabeth?”

The helper looked at her with a confused expression and asked, “Were you not together in police custody?” Lily replied, “We were in separate cells. I thought she was released first.”

The helper shook her head and replied, “I think Madam is still in police custody. Why don’t you ask Miss Martins if your aunt has been released when she is back from school?”

Lily was fuming with rage; Avery was attending classes while they were being detained in police custody. She decided to wait for Avery in the living room.

Unbeknownst to her, Avery was sitting in the café with her boyfriend, Jordan, drinking a vanilla milkshake with a chocolate muffin. Aunt Bridgette dropped her at the cafe and went to her gallery.

Jordan looked at his beautiful girlfriend and said, “Love, my final exams are starting on Friday until the 10th of November. I will not be able to see you until you finish your exams. When are you writing your final paper?”

Avery looked at her handsome boyfriend shyly and replied, “My last paper will be written on the 30th of November. However, I have breaks in between. I will send you my timetable later.

Baby, my exams will take a month. Won’t you miss me? I will really miss you if I don’t see you for the whole month. I nearly forgot the Martins Group will be advertising junior entry positions soon. Please apply.”

Jordan was displeased when he heard his girlfriend’s words. The only reason he was dating Avery was because of the Martins’ wealth. What was the use of dating her if he could not get any benefits from her?

He faked a smile and replied, “I will surely apply. Hopefully, they will appoint me to one of their positions. I need to earn some money for my graduation ceremony.”

Avery knew that the Bennet family was very poor. Jordan told her that his father was currently working a short time and his mother was a housewife.

An hour later, they wished each other all the best for their exams. Then Jordan walked Avery to Aunt Bridgette’s car. Avery waved at her boyfriend, then she got into Aunt Bridgette’s car and left.

When Avery walked to the house, Lily lowered her gaze, concealing the viciousness in her eyes. She hated Avery with passion, and she would never forgive her for the humiliation and embarrassment she had caused her.

Lily raised her eyes and said coldly, “Avery, mark my words. One day I will snatch something that you love the most. I wished Aunt Elizabeth had killed you when you were in her womb.”

Avery smiled at her, but the smile didn’t reach her beautiful eyes and replied, “Lily, at a young age you have such a vicious heart. I am glad that my beloved Uncle and Aunt left this world before you killed them with your hands. You and Aunt Elizabeth deserve each other.

Should you manage to snatch something from me in the future, it would mean that it wasn’t mine in the first place. No one would be able to steal what is rightfully mine.”

She didn’t give Lily time to respond, she took the stairs and went to her room. On her way up, she bumped into her brother. Aiden looked at her with pleading eyes. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Avery looked at him coldly, and then she walked past him. Her biological brother colluded with his mother to kill her. The love she had for her brother faded away.

Aiden walked to Lily and said, “Please don’t provoke her.” Lily pouted her mouth, but she didn’t utter a word. He walked to Butler Bruce and asked, “Is my mother still in police custody?”

Butler Bruce replied, “Mr Martins let you out because he wanted you to prepare for your final exams. I am disappointed in you, Aiden. How could you choose Lily over Avery?”

Aiden’s gaze was cold, and he replied, “Please stay in your lane, Butler Bruce. This matter has nothing to do with you.” Then he walked back to his room to study. He had wasted the whole week in police custody.
