Chapter 863: 012 Avery Saunders’s Downfall_6

At that time, she had decided that Heaven was too kind to her, always giving her whatever she desired. Of course, this was also because she was daring enough to risk anything and everything, including her life, to win over this man.

In the end, she had won, and Heaven pitied her, siding with her.

But what she hadn’t expected was that now, she finally realized how terribly she had lost.

The video had just been received, followed by the forwarded recording. The conversation she had with Jordy’s mother and then the part where Jordy’s mother had a relapse of her heart attack—all of it had been obtained by Ryan Parker.

She remembered that day clearly, and she would probably never forget it in this lifetime. After listening to just a few words, she didn’t want to hear any more.

And then she completely fell apart.

When Mrs. Saunders received a call from her husband, she ran upstairs to find her daughter and saw her sitting on the floor, staring blankly, with the express delivery package carelessly lying at her feet.

She called out to her several times, but Avery Saunders didn’t hear her. Mrs. Saunders approached, asking with concern, "Avery, Avery, what’s wrong with you?"

"...Mom, what’s up?" It took a while for Avery Saunders to come back to her senses. Seeing her mother’s anxious and worried look, she felt somewhat dazed. Over the years, she had always been pushing herself to fulfill her father’s wish. Her mother was the person who cared about her the most, yet she had never shown her mother any kindness.

Now, even if she wanted to stay by her mother’s side to properly fulfill her duties as a daughter, it was probably impossible.

If Ryan Parker knew everything, he certainly wouldn’t let her off.

An eye for an eye—that was how clearly he had made it. Was he implying that she must pay for Celia Wade’s mother’s death?

That woman had already been ill, and Avery had merely said all that needed to be said and vented all her anger—it was the woman’s own inability to cope that led to her death, not Avery’s fault, was it?

And that woman named Beatrice Hansen, who even dared to eavesdrop and record conversations and threatened her, is to blame. Avery regretted not being ruthless enough back then, not foreseeing all this and dealing with that wretched woman then and there.

Now, here she was, completely cornered and unable to make a move.

"It’s your dad’s call; he said he’s been calling you several times, but you didn’t answer." Mrs. Saunders pointed to the cell phone in her hand, but what she cared about more was her daughter’s condition, "Are you okay? Avery, you don’t look so good, shall I call Dr. An over to check on you?"

"No need, Mom, I’m fine. You go do your things, I’ll come down later to chat with you," replied Avery Saunders with a rare, kind expression towards her mother.

"Mm, you and your father are both so busy, you don’t need to worry about me." Mrs. Saunders nodded, used to her husband and daughter’s strong-willed nature, and found her daughter’s kindness a bit unusual at the moment.

"..." Watching her mother leave her room, Avery Saunders felt contemplative, "Dad, be nicer to Mom in the future. Nothing is more important than the bond between husband and wife."

"... What are you talking about? Have I ever been bad to your mother? I’ve made her life comfortable by marrying into our family, letting her wear gold and silver, sparing her from any worries about food and clothing, living in this beautiful villa, and hiring so many servants to take care of her. She doesn’t have to do anything or worry about the household. How much better should I be to her?" Ian Saunders rattled on from the other end of the phone.

However, this was not the focal point, nor was it the reason he had called, "I called you, not to talk about this. Do you know what? That bastard Jackson Clarke, this time, he set us up intentionally, wanting our Saunders family to be destroyed. Come to the company quickly, and let’s discuss it."

Ian Saunders then truly understood that Jackson Clarke was targeting their Saunders family this time, but he still didn’t know who Clarke was with.

"Dad, Jackson Clarke is Ryan Parker’s man, and Ryan Parker is actually Jordy Wade," Avery Saunders had already guessed. At that time, she had suspected Clarke but couldn’t tell if she was delusional or Clarke was just too good at covering his tracks. In any case, he hadn’t been exposed.

Looking back, she assumed that she had been deluded back then.

"Ryan Parker? Jordy Wade? Avery, Avery, in this lifetime, you’ve fallen because of this man. And so has our Saunders family," said Ian Saunders, heartbroken.

Just like that, Ian Saunders hung up the phone and instructed his secretary to cancel the meeting that had been hastily scheduled.
