Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 752
Advertisement
There was a picture.
It was an obscure photo. A naked woman held a man's waist with both hands.
The woman was Maeve. As for the man, although he turned his back on Maeve, Avery recognized him. It was Evan Howel.
Avery pinched the phone so tight that her hands kept trembling slightly, and her fingers and ankle already turned pale.
"Stay calm!" Avery tried to remind herself to be calm.
"It is not true. Evan didn't mean to do that."
Avery glanced at her phone, checking who sent her the message. At the same time, she happened to see the picture again. Avery felt uncomfortable and almost cried.
But soon, Avery stopped crying.
She can't believe it was Evan Howel. However, the photo wasn't photoshopped.
She glanced at the sender again. Through checking her personal information, she suddenly realized that it was Yuki.
"Uh. I just let Yuki go, but she sent me a photo like this. What is her purpose? Does she mean to break Evan and me up? In this way, Maeve gets a chance to be with Evan? Otherwise, she didn't have to send me the picture," thought Avery.
After making a reasonable inference, Avery became relieved gradually. At the same time, she got something to do.
She opened Evan's Messenger and pulled him out of the blacklist. Then she sent the picture to Evan.
Ding—
Evan's phone sounded along with the sound of his horse's step. He was riding on the horse's back, his slender legs putting both sides of the horse. He pinched the horse's belly tight to urge the horse ran fast.
Evan just ignored the message. The only thing he wanted to do was to get close to Avery. He was worried that Andre would be helpless.
Evan ran fast, passing through various rugged mountains and trails. Almost one hour later, Robert said from behind, "Mr. Howel. A bodyguard found a dead man and a snake."

Evan tightened his rein and followed Robert. At the same time, a group of bodyguards followed though Evan didn't know they belonged to him or Maeve. Soon, he saw a dead man lying on a simple wooden car.
Robert got down from his horse to check the dead man. A few minutes later, Robert returned and whispered to Evan, "Mr. Howel, someone shot at the man's neck."
Robert frowned and then added, "Telling from the size of the wound, it is a kind of mini bullet."
Robert suggested that Avery shot the man.
Evan widened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is there something else?"
"A snake."
"Damn it! What happened to her last night?" thought Evan.
Evan held the rein hard and tight and then turned back to the small wooden cabin.
Maeve followed. She asked the bodyguard to deal with the corpse of the man and snake. Then she also followed Evan.
They arrived in a shabby cabin with moss in the corner of the door. There were traces of moss on the stairs, but the wood of the stairs could still be seen because someone walked.
Evan hurriedly stepped up the stairs. However, he almost fell because of slippery shoes if he didn't hold the handrails tight.
Evan became anxious all of a sudden. "I can't imagine if she falls. She must get hurt," thought Evan.
Bang—
Evan hit the wooden door hard, "Open the door."
Bang—
Evan knocked on the door hard and hurriedly. Now, he didn't care about anyone, including Maeve, because he can't wait to see Avery so as to check whether she was okay.
Bang—
Evan knocked on again and again, but Avery didn't show.
"Mr. Howel, I can slam the door," when Robert was going to slam the door with his body, Evan immediately slammed the door open.

The door hit on the wooden wall, bounced back, and hit Evan's arms hard. Although there was a loud noise, Evan ignored the pains because he was urgent to find Avery.
The door creaked open.
It was an old door. It made noises when the door opened.
Robert was still standing at the door. When he heard the noise, he turned his head to the left side and shouted joyfully, "The Princess."
As soon as Evan heard it, he immediately pushed Robert to the handrails outside the door.
Evan immediately got close to Avery, and his arms also stretched out. Avery was terrified. She immediately stepped back, getting away from Evan.
Soon, Maeve and Yuki also followed.
"Evan is crazy. How can he directly rush into the room? Don't be afraid that Maeve will doubt he still loves me? Moreover, Meyers isn't here. They must start to doubt and probably find Mr. Black," thought Avery.
Avery turned to look at Maeve and a group of bodyguards, about 40-50 people who were standing behind Evan. Looking at them, Avery seemed to be deep in thought and became worried.
When Avery saw Yuki was sitting upright on the horse's back, Avery squinted at her and said to Evan, "Have you received a message from me?"
"What?" Evan observed Avery carefully, finding her hair was just a little messy, but she still looked good. And then he took out his phone and checked the message.
When he read it, he became angry as if his blood coagulated, "Do you believe?"
Avery turned to look at Evan and then said, "Mr. Howel, shouldn't I believe?"
"Mr. Howel? Damn it. She misunderstood," thought Evan.
"I think it is not true," Evan said seriously. The muscle of his face tightened.
Avery looked at him carefully. Although she trusted Evan, she had to say she didn't believe it because Yuki and Maeve were there.
"Say something!" Evan stared at Avery. He regrets not coming here last night, "If the snake hurts her, how should I do?" thought Evan.
"Mr. Howel, please leave me alone."
Evan had already held Avery's arms and asked, "You ask me to get out?"
Avery pursed her lips tightly. All of a sudden, she didn't know how to answer. However, Evan immediately added, "You are angry because I took Maeve to set off fireworks by the lake?"
"No."
"Could you tell me why?" Avery was silent. At that time, she was indeed angry, but now she knew what she should focus on.
Avery still kept silent because she didn't know how to explain. Although she was angry, she really cared about how to escape on the condition that the little Princess was safe.
"Do I need to explain?" thought Avery.
She hesitated. Soon, Maeve said, "Get the Princess."
"I do not allow anyone to catch her," Evan said firmly.
Avery became anxious and then asked Maeve coldly, "Maeve, why do you catch me?"

Artifice: Iysinfyr
Nalulthyn is the young daughter of a duke that is one day asked for a favor. This favor involves the adopted daughter of the duke from a neighboring area. This girl has had a traumatic past and has closed herself off from the world completely and reacts violently when touched by anyone but her personal maid. The duke hopes that a girl close to the age of his adoptive daughter will be what she needs to recover, but things are never as easy as they seem. First is that this adopted daughter is a Terran, a rare being from a different world that has skin and hair as white as snow and an almost alien build. Second is that there is a power to this girl, one that makes her recovery all the more dangerous to Nalulthyn and perhaps beyond. Author's note: This is a soft reboot of Artifice: Tools of the Gods. As I wrote the other story years ago I felt it would be better to do this approach as my writing has changed and improved since then. For now only two characters will return though I might reintroduce others later in the story. Even though this has the gore tag, I don't plan on being excessive with it. Most chapters shouldn't have any. The only reason I have it is to be realistic with the descriptions.

Living as a Demon
Jonathan was living the life of a normal human male in modern-day society, until he was rudely awakened one night by a summoning circle that ripped him out of his reality and dumped him into a new world filled with magic, demons, and…mouthy young orphan girls?! Now Jonathan must navigate the trials of playing guardian to a preteen, learning to unlock his inner demon, and somehow managing to find a dang pair of pants! Welcome! I'm E.O. Tenkey; thank you for considering Living as a Demon, my third released work here on Royal Road (following Not a Manga and Mr. Familiar)! Let's set some expectations, shall we? • Not much hard profanity (chapter 1 is the exception!)• Human MC! Our protagonist is a bona fide homo sapiens. Which is not to say there won't be demons, demonic powers, and what-have-you, but this isn't some grimdark exploration of the life and times of a nihilistic, amoral killing machine.• Slice of life. My previous works always ended up there, so might as well get ahead of the curve!• Weekly updates, and a completed story: I will post a single chapter per week on Wednesdays until the story is complete (extra chapters are rare, but do happen).
