Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 429
Advertisement
The sound of a gunshot came from behind. The gun shoots the head of the Tibetan mastiff, and it turns deadly.
But the inertia continued, and the Tibetan mastiff still kept moving forward. The sharp claw and its teeth scratched Avery's back, tore her clothes in an instant, and left a long scratch on her white skin.
She was not severely hurt, but there was still a trace of blood, dying her clothes red.
The Tibetan mastiff finally fell into the ground in the dense shooting.
Evan put the gun away, jumped from the balcony of the second floor directly, and quickly rushed to Avery, "Are you all right?"
During his questioning, he also looked at Jessica, who was behind Avery. Jessica was terrified and stared at the fallen Tibetan mastiff on the ground like she lost her soul.
Avery reacted immediately, only to feel that her back was painful. She couldn't take care of it, turned nervously to look at Jessica, and said, "Are you all right?"
Jessica looked back, only to find that Evan was looking at Avery's wound.
Avery had been attacked by spiders yesterday and by Tibetan mastiffs today. Evan knew the place was full of danger, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.
Jessica bit her lips, "In fact, you can avoid it. Why did you save me?"
Jessica had designed chandeliers to fall and to hit Avery, scared her, and warned her to stay away from Andrew. She didn't expect Avery to save her at such a dangerous moment.
When Jessica looked down and saw Avery's back stained with blood, her mind went blank, and her face suddenly turned pale, "I'm sorry."
It's for what she had done before.
Then, Jessica continued to say, "Thank you."
It's for what Avery did to her today.

Avery frowned, but her mouth also aroused a smile, "Can you tell me where the medicine you got in Cambola City is?"
When Jessica heard the question, she was obviously not prepared at all, confused for a few seconds, and then said, "That's why you saved me?"
"No, I saved you by instinct."
Jessica habitually bit her lower lip. The nature of human beings was selfish. At a time of crisis like that, the first reaction of most people should be to squat down in order to protect themselves.
So she believed what Avery said just now.
It turned out that Avery was not as bad as she thought.
Jessica said, "I brought the medicine back from Cambola City and gave it to James, but he threw it away."
"Threw it away?" The medicine that has been advertised so miraculous was thrown away?
"Then he sent his men to search it. I didn't know if he found it. That's all that I know."
"So, the medicine could be with James?"
"If he finds it, he should have it."
If the medicine was with James, then it's too difficult for Avery to get it unless Jessica was willing to help her.
She took a look at Jessica. But why should she help her?
Avery smiled bitterly. To find the so-called medicine, she stayed at the presidential palace, which was full of danger. It was not expected to be the answer. Avery was a little disappointed.
Maybe it's the will of God.
Although as long as Charles woke up, there was hope for her. But the medicine was also one of her hopes, and she didn't want to let it go.
Anyway, she couldn't leave immediately. If she stayed here, maybe there would be a turnaround.

Avery nodded helplessly, "Your brother is upstairs. Go and see him."
Rebecca leaned decadently on the trunk, not far away, and was completely frightened.
Her pale face was filled with lingering fear, but her eyes quickly flashed disappointment. The Tibetan mastiff was an accident. She just wanted to eavesdrop on what they said and didn't expect that pigeon blood on Jessica was a great help.
The Tibetan mastiff had a fine nose. It could smell blood from a long distance.
And this time, she did hear something. The woman asked Jessica about the medicine just now, and Rebecca was curious about what medicine made this woman so interested in?
It's said that the medicine was with James. Rebecca has not been to James' residence for a long time.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly rushed out of the room. When she was about to greet Rebecca, Rebecca hurriedly stopped her. Rebecca was at the corner, and they couldn't see her over there.
Rebecca entered the house with her servant and heard the servant say, "While Avery was away, I secretly rummaged through her mobile phone. I didn't find a picture of the president, but I found this."
The servant took out a picture she had secretly taken. It's a woman in her twenties, sleeping like a sleeping beauty in a crystal coffin.
Rebecca opened her eyes in shock. She had seen the woman from her mother's old photo album. It's her mother's sister, and it's also Avery's mother.
The photo album showed the address was Cambola City. So her father didn't visit the city, but he went to find this woman?
When her mother came back, she must tell her about it.
Also, what was the medicine they talked about?
After thinking about it, she whispered to the servant, "Send someone to Cambola City to inquire about it."
Then the servant hurriedly put away the phone and heard someone said, "Bury it."
Rebecca trembled and walked out quickly. At the moment she saw the Tibetan mastiff, she paused in shock, "Evan, I heard a gunshot and rushed over. What happened?"
Avery stared at Rebecca directly.
"You said you didn't keep pets. How could the Tibetan mastiff be here and suddenly rush out?" Avery sneered, "There are poisonous spiders and Tibetan mastiffs in the presidential palace, which is a perfect place."
Rebecca raised her mouth corner, "Avery, what do you mean? Do you think I raise the Tibetan mastiff? Although I know you hate me and was skeptical about me, I may let you down. This Tibetan mastiff is not my pet, and this matter has nothing to do with me."
Then she looked at Evan, "My cousin keeps the Tibetan mastiff. Perhaps it smelled the blood on Jessica, so it rushed over."
Avery was indifferent, and said coldly, "I didn't say to blame you. Why are you so eager to explain? Are you guilty of the crime?"
