Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 743
Advertisement
The lake billows fell and rose. Maeve and Evan turned to look at it.
Maeve pressed the corner of her mouth with a napkin and thought:
"The man doesn't even focus on the dinner. Billows totally attract him."
Suddenly, Evan's phone screen was on. He lowered his head and looked at the screen. It was No. 1 from Robert.
No.1 meant that Robert had taken the man to another place successfully. Then Evan stood up and walked to the lake quickly without giving a glance at Maeve.
Maeve stopped for a while and quickly stood up.
"Mr. Lautner…" Maeve shouted for a few seconds and then followed.
Evan was far away from Avery, so he didn't know what happened.
When Evan arrived and saw burned fireworks here and there, he was worried all of sudden and asked, "What happened? Why are there a lot of messy things here?"
Robert heard Evan's voice and responded quickly, "Miss. Yuki fell into the lake."
Evan took a sigh of relief and turned to Avery. Looking at Avery, Evan tried to stop smiling because he knew she must do something terrible.
"Did you get hurt?"
Robert knew Evan was worried about Avery, so he shook his head and said slowly, "No. But…"
Robert wanted to tell Evan that he didn't tell Mrs. Howel what Evan's real aim. Evan wanted to take Maeve and her bodyguards to the lake and then took Mr. Meyers and Mr. Black away.
Besides, fireworks were for concealing the gun sound.
Evan had intended to explain it to Avery, but Maeve kept her eyes on him, and he failed to do it. Robert didn't know whether Avery was angry or happy now.
Robert knew that Avery was angry at Mr. Howel sometimes, but she wouldn't do something improper to someone she loves.

Finally, Robert said to Evan, "Miss Yuki got hurt. She is in bad condition,"
Yuki struggled to swim. Since the lake was a little deep, her head floated up and down.
"Mr. Howel, shall we help Miss. Yuki?"
"What do you think?"
Robert was silent. He knew he shouldn't save Yuki even if Yuki were dead before them. He knew from the beginning that his boss had doted his wife. Evan loved Avery very much. If Avery feels unhappy, Evan can't be happy too.
Maeve stopped. She was astonished and kept saying, "Oh my god." She patted her chest and shouted, "Come! Come here. How cold you are! Why not rescue Yuki?"
Soon, some of Maeve's bodyguards came and fell into the lake.
Avery felt it was boring and turned around.
"The Princess," Maeve suddenly stopped Avery and asked, "I am very curious about why Charles goes to B Country alone. As you know, you are the Princess of B Country, but why don't you go B Country with him?"
"Maeve, do you know I have a daughter? My daughter needs white worms for healing her illness."
Maeve made a smile and said, "The Princess, the white worms are the first-class national protected insects. You should use it."
"Pardon? Can you explain it in detail?"
"I want to limit the number of white worms that you can use. Mr. Lautner, what's your opinion?"
Avery made a fist. She knew the power of Maeve's words
The citizens in Ancient Country respect and love her very much. She was the sister of the President, Mr. Black. Her order was as powerful as Mr. Black's mother.
As long as Maeve was there, Mr. President was just a powerless man. However, Avery didn't know why Maeve asked Evan such a question.

"Why does Maeve love Evan? Oh no, she regards him as Mr. Lautner. Is there another particular reason? Alas! So many people loved him when he turned into Mr. Lautner. How can I solve this problem?" thought Avery.
While Avery was thinking, she happened to make eye contact with Evan. All of a sudden, her expression changed, and her heart stopped.
"He shouldn't stare at me in this way. Maeve will find something unusual," thought Avery. At the same time, she stared at Evan, warning him to behave well.
Evan then said peacefully, "Miss. Black, white worms and human life, do you think which one is more important?"
"I don't know. I suggest you watch a movie made by our country about white worms. I guess we can find an answer from it. Would you like to see it?" Maeve said directly.
Avery made a bitter smile. Soon, Evan answered, "I am not interested in it."
Maeve sighed in pity and turned to Avery, "Probably, the Princess, you can watch the movie."
Avery was surprised but immediately nodded because she wanted to know it.
"Miss. Black, I gotta go," Avery didn't want to stay longer when she saw Yuki was still alive.
Avery didn't mean to kiss Yuki, but she really wanted to teach a lesson for her.
Soon, Avery gave a cold glance over Evan and walked to the east of the Presidential Palace.
The moon was beautiful tonight. It lightened Avery's beautiful sleeves.
After walking several meters away, Avery's phone vibrated, and it was a message from Evan, "It is for you."
Avery raised her head, watching the beautiful fireworks, which were made a shape of a colorful heart.
Avery immediately shot it and sent the picture to Evan.
Looking at the picture, Evan was touched and looked at Robert coldly.
Robert thought there was something wrong, so he said in a low voice, "Mr. Lautner, I should get out now. I hope you have a good night."
Robert was a smart guy. He always performed well and kept himself safe.
As soon as Robert got out, he immediately chased Avery. But when Avery saw him, she also gave him a cold glance.
Robert said, "Mrs. Howel, Mr. Howel transferred Mr. Meyers and Mr. Black away secretly, so that's why he is here with Maeve."
Avery snorted, "What are they doing here?"
Robert bit his lips, "They are having dinner."
Avery nodded after listening to his words, "What do you think I should do?"

The Last Journey
A slice of life litrpg story... or is it? It's burning slow, though. Moving on: War comes with a great cost. Lives and time wasted for most part. One could either be run with sword, be poisoned, be bowed, and sometimes meet their end with just a tiny speck of wood. With magic, it becomes even more colorful. From lightning, to worse poison, to hovering rocks, to weird bladed leaves, to whipping roots, and to a lot more odd things easily reasoned with magic. A wonderful creation. But once used to something more than wonder, more than tricks to gather laughs, it becomes worse. War becomes worse. For there is not only blood to be spilled. A particular town almost met the same end. Soldiers geared with swrords and bows came with mounts. Horses burning lush grasses as it cracked boulders and the soil alike with every step. The kind that only war ones could ever do. Even strange wheeled creations that oozed danger were towed, loaded with something meant to destroy. But not once had they acted upon what such devices should've done, nor what an an army is supposed to do. Siege never occurred, as much as a command to war. No. Magic existed so a simple little fire is all the worth the town has. No sword drawn, no arrows nocked, nothing. Just some mana spent and through the ash they march. That was how Nudius saw her end. It came not even as a surprise. She didn't have the moment to fully register what occurred before she found herself in an empty dark space. Life lost, time spent. All from a fire that had not even touched her. But she knew very well that it was magic. Something she wished to have and strived for to have. Yet it seemed that none of it would matter now. Nudius was well aware of what the color around meant, of the odd situation, of the unfeeling state of her being. It was death and that was it. She didn't have to worry or dream further. Although there wasn't what she truly wanted in what death to her is, but at least, Nudius was comforted to what she believed death is. Rest. But little did she know there's something more than that empty space. It wasn't only the promise of rest, but was also more than she could ever hope for. Another chance at life. Another chance to dream. ***Tags are there just in case. You never know! Umm... HI-MI-TSU. Story blurb+: This is slow burn, quite slice of life story about a girl learning magic. All the while as she fatten herself up. So yeah, progression fantasy. But there's Litrpg! Numbers! Magic! Spells! And of course! There's something more. But read on ahead, please. Oh yes. Plot! There is, too. Disclaimer: The cover isn't made by me. Just layered it with a text. I got it from a free website, if I correctly recall. I'll see to it. (Haven't worked on it.)

Not only was this one last desperate escape from the traumatic woes facing her at home, it also cemented her future. One fateful evening would lead Esme not only on a path of discovery but also fear and heartache. Are there any other kind of stories during Voldemort's first rise to power?
