“Do you think he will definitely save the Powell family?” James wasn’t sure about it. 

Comfortably lying on the sofa and enjoying Vera’s professional massage, he lazily analyzed. “The Powell family has visible financial loopholes of more than a billion dollars. Even if Carlos is wealthy, he must consider the cash flow of the Monroe Group, right? In a few days, he’ll be bidding on that 

e of land in the southern suburbs.” 

From a purely business perspective, it was foolish to spend money saving another company, thereby increasing the risk of his own financial chain breaking. 

Carlos, being as shrewd and cunning as he was, would never do such a thing. 

“That’s because you don’t understand him.” Vera’s lips curled with a hint of coldness. “Regardless of his feelings for Averie, as long as they announce their relationship officially, he won’t allow the Powell family to go bankrupt before their wedding. 

“He is a perfectionist in many things and values his self–esteem.” 

So, five years ago, Vera, who had nothing to do with perfection, was a bug that needed to be removed from his life. 

Vera, seemingly in good spirits, continued, “I bet a bag of Catherine’s snack that Carlos will take action.” 

“A bit stingy, isn’t it?” James extended two fingers, making a peace sign. “I bet two bags. He will observe for some time first.” 

“How about we give him a push!” James said, opening his eyes, and stood up. “I’ll take a shower. Let’s sleep early tonight.” 

“Okay.” Vera nodded, feeling quite exhausted. 

Suddenly, her phone rang with a message notification. It was from Ramon. 

Ramon said, ‘Carlos came back about an hour ago. Dayton showed him the surveillance video, and then he left. Dayton said he is still at the hospital with Averie and will return tomorrow morning.’ 

Vera was shocked. She could hardly believe it. 

Averie had treated Neil so poorly, yet he acted as if nothing had happened. 

He didn’t spend time at home with his son and instead went to the hospital to be with Averie. ‘Is that venomous woman lying on a hospital bed, dying, and needing his company?‘ Vera thought. 

Before Vera could reply, she heard James’s phone ringing. 

Seeing that it was his assistant calling, and James was still in the bathroom, she picked it up for him. After instructing him to call back in ten minutes, she hung up.

G. 

For some reason, the phone’s touchscreen wasn’t very responsive. She accidentally opened James’s Instagram while trying to turn off the phone. 

She didn’t have the habit of prying into her family’s privacy. In a hurry to turn it off, she discovered that the photos were not of someone else but of Carlos and Averie. 

In front of the operating room at the hospital, Averie looked disheveled and pitiful, while Carlos stayed by her side. 

Vera’s heart felt like it was cut by a sharp knife. 

When she lay on the operating table, struggling for her life with her two children, these two scumbags were probably celebrating. 

Vera knew she shouldn’t look anymore, but she couldn’t help herself. She just wanted to see how disgusting these two scumbags could be behind her back. 

One photo after another slid by. All featured Carlos shielding Averie. There were even videos showing that Carlos punished Averie’s agent, Helen. 

‘Well done! Carlos, you are something!‘ Vera thought angrily. 

He protected the venomous woman who harmed his son at every turn. 

Vera was heartbroken. She almost passed out when a large hand suddenly reached over and took the phone. 

“Don’t let disgusting people dirty your eyes,” James said, worried that his sister would feel uncomfortable, so he ordered to keep it from her. 

“I won’t let them off. Never!” Every word Vera uttered exuded a bloodthirsty intent.
