Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 519

Diana glanced at Avery and said, "I'm sorry to make you worried."
Avery tried to make a smile at Diana. She was shocked and confused about why Diana hurt herself to make herself calm. At the same time, Andrew was also confused and said to Avery cheerfully, "I had told you. She just pretended to be a poor girl. You should be careful. She will try everything to get Evan."
On the contrary, Avery disdainfully looked at him.
After a while, they arrived in the City. It had been a long time since they came here. Unlike B Country, which was near the sea, the City's sky was slightly red when it came to sunset. For Avery, it was the most beautiful view that she had never seen before.
Many people gathered in the castle. Lucky also started to shout.
The driver of Andrew had already picked Andrew and Jessica up. As soon as Diana got off the airport, she came to see Evan's mother instead of Lucky because of the etiquette. Otherwise, Evan's mother would be angry.
On the contrary, Avery didn't care about it. She didn't visit Evan's mother.
Avery paid a visit to Lucky first. When Lucky saw her, Lucky shouted and walked to her slowly. Sarah Ethel told her Lucky was old now, so Lucky didn't want to move. But as soon as Lucky sees her, Lucky must come to touch her legs with its body.
Since it was autumn, Lucky was easy to fall hair. Therefore, much hair was left on Avery's clothes.
In the next morning, Avery found Diana had been sent back to her home, so she didn't know when Diana pay a visit to Lucky,
Evan hadn't been to his company for a long time, so he got there in the morning. At the same time, he had prepared breakfast and put it into the heat box for her.

In the morning, When Avery heard that Meyer was going to have an operation on Monday, she became nervous.
As soon as she uncovered her quilt and prepared to get up, the phone on the bedside rang.
"Excuse me is Miss. Peters? This is the police. Do you still remember the thing when you were kidnapped?" the man asked politely.
"Kidnapping? Yeah, I remember."
"One of the kidnappers had been arrested. But I'm sorry to tell you that the ransom had been used up by them. I suggest you ask for a refund. If it doesn't work, you can file a separate civil action. As soon as it takes effect, you have justice."
"I heard that the ransom had been given back," Avery recalled that Andrew told her she didn't have to give the money back to him because the kidnapper had given the money back.
"Had been given back? As far as I know, they didn't give the money back," the man answered. And then he added, "the man who devised the thing is from B country. Since he doesn't belong to our country, we need more time to catch him."
"B country? How do you know? From one of the kidnappers?"
"That's correct. The man is Miss. Arlington. She devised it."
"Miss. Arlington? Is Rebecca Arlington?" Avery asked. "It is her. I can't believe it. How come? She always wants to kill me?" Avery thought to herself.
"Yes, it is."
Avery couldn't believe it still and answered immediately, "in my opinion, you don't have to pay much attention to her. I think she was dead."
Avery heard that the fire hadn't gone out for the whole night, and Rebecca was in the fire and looked terrible.
After the man hung up, Avery still put the phone on her ears and sat on the bed without moving. After a while, she picked the phone and dialed.

The phone rang a few times and finally answered.
"Hello."
Avery knew it was Evan and asked, "where is Mr. Clifford?"
"Mr. Clifford…" Jamie Winter hesitated and then answered, "Mr. Clifford has a body examination, so he can't answer the phone. Miss. Peters, you can leave the message, and I will tell Mr. Clifford later."
"Is he all right? Is his heart uncomfortable?" Avery was worried and asked in a severe way.
Jamie answered yes and then said nothing.
Avery remembered her questions and then asked, "I just got a phone from a policeman who told me something about the ransom. Do you know anything about it?"
Jamie hesitated for a moment, but Andrew didn't finish the examination still, so he said directly, "Miss. Peters, although Mr. Clifford didn't allow me to tell you, you have the right to know it.
When you were kidnapped, Mr. Clifford didn't have enough money to save you, too, but he insisted on protecting you. So I think he won't accept you to give the money back now.
Besides, Mr. Clifford never lied to you. Mr. Clifford and Meyer's hearts are well- matched, so he guessed his heart is Meyer's heart and decided to give it back to him.
"Ok. I know. Andrew is going to have an examination before the operation?"
"Correct."
Avery tried to hold her breath thinking to herself, "he wants to give his heart to Meyer. And then? Doesn't he care about himself? If he gives his heart to Meyer, he must be dead."
Avery was desperate for the moment.
"He didn't lie to me… He didn't. But what about him?" Avery asked herself.
Avery once hoped Evan could give the heart back to Meyer, but now she didn't want to.
She tried to manage to deal with the problem. She kept thinking.
Avery got up, hurriedly, and washed and changed her clothes. Finally, she asked the driver to send her to the hospital.
When Avery arrived in the hospital, she happened to find Andrew, who just finished the examination. When he saw Avery in the front of the door, he hesitated for a while and then asked, "why are you here?"
"Have you decided to give the heart back to Charles Meyer?" Avery lost control herself and cried for Andrew.
Seeing her tears, Andrew felt sad and asked, "who told you?"
"I know it. Don't lie to me. And about the ransom, you lied to me too. You had promised that you wouldn't lie to me, but now…"
"Why are you crying? You look bad," Andrew tried to find a paper towel from his pocket, but he didn't notice, so he had to wipe her tears with his sleeves.
"I had promised you I wouldn't lie to you later. But it would be the last time I lied to you. Felicity, sorry."
Avery shook her head. Full of tears in her face now.
Andrew was her best friend. He saved her. Although he was already ill, she didn't want him to die because of Meyer.
Avery was in a dilemma. She also wanted to save Meyer.
At the moment when Avery raised her head, she found Andrew smiled.
Andrew was glad to find Avery cared about him. It was the first time she had cried for him.
