Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 499
Advertisement
Evan became cheerful and strode to Avery, "Who told you that I don't like the watch?"
"When we were in the car, you had told me."
"Because it isn't the watch you give me."
Avery lowered her head, smiling, "Don't mind that I give you the same gift as others?"
"I don't mind as long as it is from you," Evan answered and immediately took his watch off.
Then he gave the watch that Avery bought to Avery, saying, "Could you please help me wear it?"
At first, Avery was worried that it would be meaningless if she gave the same watch to Evan. However, Evan only cared about whether to prepare the gift for him or not. Probably, that's the difference between men and women.
When Avery helped Evan wear the watch, Evan found there was a button on one side of the watch and clicked it. Then Avery's voice came out, "Evan Howel, I don't know how to prove I love you. I love you 'till the end of time…"
Avery recorded "I love you" in 83 languages.
Avery was a little embarrassed and then turned off the switch.
Evan touched her face, saying, "I almost miss such a good gift."
Avery was joyful. She now understood that Evan just wanted her love.
"Mrs. Howel, the noodle has been done. Shall I put it on the dish?" Robert rushed up and asked. When he arrived, he happened to see that Evan and Avery held each other, which made him embarrassed.
"Don't have to," Evan glared at Robert and then took Avery away.
"Don't have to? Where are we going?" Avery didn't know what Evan wanted to do, but she had to follow him.
"I had prepared a gift for you," Evan answered with a smile.

"It is your birthday. Why do you send me a gift?"
"You will know the reason soon."
Evan didn't take a driver. On the contrary, he sat on the driver's seat and drove by himself. Avery was pregnant, so Evan drove slowly with opened windows. As soon as the gentle wind blew, they felt extremely comfortable.
Soon, they stopped in front of a big castle.
When a maid heard the voice, she rushed out of the castle, shouting, "Hello, Mr. Howel. Mrs. Howel."
A maid had opened the car door for Avery.
Howel's Castle
"Why does Evan take me here? The gift is in the castle?" Avery asked herself. With these questions in her mind, she followed Evan to the study room.
Evan was more excited than Avery. He can't wait to open the door and hold Avery's hands tight, walking to the desk.
The study room was decorated in Chinese style with a bookshelf that had hollow rectangular lattice. On the bookshelf, there were various books and antiques.
Evan got a square and brown wooden box on the right grid. It was classic and carved with a dragon, smelling like sandalwood. There was a buckle on the box but unlocked.
"What's this?" Avery gave a glance over the box and then looked at Evan, asking.
"According to the size of the box, is it a bracelet?" Avery thought to herself.
"Open it," Evan didn't answer her directly, but he was sure that the woman would like it.
Avery became more curious and nervous. After taking a deep breath, she finally opened the box.
"What's this?" Avery had a close look, but she couldn't figure out what it was. It was empty.
"It is just a box. Why does Evan take me here?" Avery said to herself.

Seeing that, Evan became angry. He grabbed the box and threw it on the desk, shouting, "Call all servants over here."
Robert became serious. He called several servants over here and lined up in two rows. They lowered his head as if something doom was coming.
They knew Evan was outraged. If they did something wrong, they would probably be dead.
"Who came to the study room and touched the thing?"
Evan knew the defense policy of the castle was always strict. With the infrared monitors, as soon as a suspicious person was found, the alarm would sound. However, the alarm didn't sound, and nothing was moved. Therefore, Evan presumed that the suspected person must be the maids.
It was quiet in the study room. No one dared to say a word or raise the head. Since people in the study room were afraid that they would be dead, they all held their breath.
"Say it! Who did touch the things in the bookshelf? I don't want to see the monitor. Tell me. Who. Otherwise, if I find the truth, you all will be punished."
No one answered, still. Even if someone touched, the man wouldn't admit now.
"Get whips," Evan requested seriously.
Several bodyguards got whips, respectively. As soon as Evan gave an order, they started to shake their whips violently. The whip made the servants' clothes broken, and their skin hurt.
Some servants had fainted. Some servants kept mourning.
"All right. If it is not very important, let the servants go," looking at the servants who got severe injuries, Avery held Evan's hands, saying.
"Mr. Howel, it is not our fault," a servant knelt and crawled to Evan, saying, "We didn't take the thing in the box away. It is you who asked us to give it to Miss. Summer."
"Give it to Miss. Summer?"
"You told us that, Miss. Summer didn't feel good, so you decided to give it to her. It is not our fault. You can ask Miss. Summer. We had given the medicine to her."
"Have I ever asked you to give it to her?" Evan became very angry.
Then he strode to the desk and opened the drawer. He found there was the same wooden box in the drawer, but the color was less bright than the box in the bookshelf.
Avery recognized the wooden box, which was for keeping ergotamine.
"What's going on?" Avery walked to Evan and picked the wooden box up, "Miss. Summer didn't use it?"
Evan was angry. He grabbed the wooden box, threw it out. The wooden box smashed to bits, and a small plastic bag fell out. It was a white powder.
"That is to say that Diana didn't eat ergotamine? But she looks very well today. Is it help from the hospital?" Avery asked herself.
"What do you want to give me?" Avery tried to divert Evan's attention and made a look at Robert, showing that the servants should leave; otherwise, one of them would be dead.
The study room was in a mess. All servants were beaten, and there was blood on the ground.
Evan's eyes were full of blood. He turned to Avery, saying, "It's the thing you want to have the most."

Leaves of Terranthir
DISCONTINUED - I won't be writing more of this fiction. Check out the latest post for a worlbuilding summary / final thoughts. Leaves of Terranthir is a gamelit blend of ARPG, action, fantasy, and slice of life. It's inspired in part by some of my favourite games, borrowing in themes, sense of exploration, and aesthetics from the Soulsborne and soulslike genre, mixed heavily with arpg itemization from Diablo/PoE style games. While many may remember their Soulslike experiences as nothing more than suffering, I personally loved the sense of progression, to prevail over challenges and monsters that seemed impossible to defeat at first. If any of that seems interesting to you, do check out the first chapter and let me know what you think. Cheers, and thanks for reading. Cover by Baconstrap.

Minding Others' Business

They might live life on the safe side, but the team is not without their merits.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.
