Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 565 Exposing Tricks and Deceit

Avery looked at Moore with a beautiful smile. She had never imagined that the day Moore would be

gentle to her would come so soon. "Okay, I know. Don't worry too much about me." She gave Moore

one last reassuring smile before she turned to look at Adolf. She knew that she must confront him

today, so after taking a deep breath and mustering up the courage, she walked firmly and slowly toward

him.

Zed and Moore were closely following Avery in order to protect her if either of the men in front of them

ever raised a hand on her or verbally abused her. The three of them stood in front of Adolf at the same

time.

Adolf eyed Avery with his sharp eyes. Then, he turned his head to look at both Zed and Moore. He NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

looked them up and down before finally fixing his eyes on Zed. He smirked and mocked, "Mr. Qi, it's

already midnight. Shouldn't you be sleeping at you home now? Also, what are you still doing here with

Avery? Aren't you afraid that your wife will be jealous because you're here and not with her?"

"Avery is my friend, so it's normal for me to visit my friend, isn't it? Besides, I came here with Moore, so

you may rest assured that my wife will not be jealous. But I am not sure how my wife would react to any

of your concern."

A firm smile formed on Zed's face after replying to Adolf.

Adolf raised an eyebrow in disdain and snorted. "Is that so? It seems like you have married a good

wife."

"Of course, I have a great wife. No one can outmatch her. Besides, she's my wife. I have a huge

confidence with her and so does she about me, so don't worry about this, Adolf." Zed didn't care about

Adolf's rudeness. He had other problems besides that. He then looked sharply at Albert, who was

standing by Adolf's side, and then asked Adolf without turning his gaze away from Albert, "How about

you, Adolf? Just like you said, it's already midnight. Shouldn't you too be sleeping in your place as

well? Or is it because that you knew we will visit Avery tonight, so you specially came here to meet

us?"

Albert stopped Zed impatiently and pretended to be angry. "That's totally nonsense! You'd better frankly

tell us where you want to take Avery to in this time of the night!"

Eyes opened wide, both Avery and Moore turned to Albert and were astonished by his words.

Several hours ago, Albert came to their house to persuade them to take Avery out from the hospital.

But now, he seemed to stand on Adolf's side and speak for him as if everything hadn't happened.

Obviously, it was all his trick and deceit. They had not expected that he was such a despicable man.

Zed knew that there was some bad atmosphere in Albert, and he was right about it now. He couldn't

help casting a deep look at him. Although he looked almost the same as Adolf, he was not mentally

strong enough compared to Adolf.

No wonder although they were twins, he still served under Adolf and was so scared of him.

'Now that you dared to play a trick on me, don't ever feel regret for what you had done, ' Zed thought to

himself.

Then he looked at Albert with a look of sympathy on his face and asked, "Albert, why are you asking us

that? You told us to come to the hospital by midnight to pick up Avery. You said that Avery had been

badly scolded by Adolf, and that we should take Avery out of the hospital, so that she could escape

from the cruelty of him, didn't you? What's more, it was you who had deliberately distracted the

bodyguards at the door. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to take Avery out."

Zed pretended to feel puzzled about Albert's behavior. He stared at Albert with a frown of confusion.

Albert didn't expect that Zed would question him and expose his trick in front of Adolf. He felt very guilty

and was afraid that Adolf would believe Zed's words, so he stole a glance at Adolf quickly. After seeing

that Adolf didn't look angry because of Zed's words and looked as if trying to decipher the truth, he

became more bold and sneered, "Mr. Qi, do you forget that you are a CEO? How can you say such

words to slander me?

Why should I help all of you to take Avery out? I don't gain anything if I do so. Besides, both Avery and

Adolf are the closest people around me. How can I be so cruel to separate them? Plus, Adolf has

always treated Avery very well. Frankly speaking, I even feel a little bit jealous of her sometimes. So,

who told you that Adolf had badly scolded Avery? It's totally nonsense!"

There was astonishment and anger on Albert's face as he said these words, but he tried hard to

conceal his emotion.

Hearing Albert's words, Zed couldn't help but admire his nerve.

'Now that he dares to play this trick in front of Adolf, he has absolute certainty that he can make Avery

and Adolf turn against each other.

It seems that he is a dark and vicious man. I have underestimated him, and he is absolutely not as

coward and incompetent as he looks.

He almost got away with it just now. What a cunning man!' Zed thought, impressed at how Albert still

could keep up his deceit.

Avery was already starting to feel infuriated. She saw how aggressive Albert was, so she could not help

but shout and butt in at him angrily.

"Albert, do you think that I am totally unaware of what you had done? The reason why you make all

efforts to make me leave Adolf and make us turn against each other is that you're afraid one day, I'll

spill your secret to him, right?"

Zed looked at Avery and slightly shook his head toward her, gesturing her to stop talking.

Frowning, Avery was puzzled by Zed's movement and didn't know what he meant.

Moore, standing on one side, whispered at Avery and explained, "The reason why Zed stopped you is

that he wants to tell you not to let out a wild card right away. Right now, you are escaping the hospital

with us, so Adolf won't believe your words easily. Only if we try to make Albert tell the truth out himself

can we really convince Adolf."

"Sorry, Moore, but I don't understand. That's totally impossible! He's not that stupid to tell the truth in

front of Adolf and admit what he had done." Avery shook her head disapprovingly and whispered back.

"Let's just stand aside and see. That's not totally impossible. Be patient, and we must have confidence

in Zed at the same time," Moore said, giving Avery a reassuring look.

Avery looked at Moore in surprise. She saw how he was looking at Zed with confidence and soft eyes.

She didn't know why her anger disappeared all of a sudden at this moment, and she could not help

raising her head to look at Zed.

'There are only a few people in this world that can convince Moore unconditionally. Obviously, Zed is

one of them, and it seems that they have a good relationship, ' Avery thought.

From the beginning, she had misunderstood that Jean was Moore's girlfriend. Since knowing that Zed

was Jean's husband, Avery had completely put down her guard at them. She was now only grateful for

Zed, but she had never looked at him carefully.

Now, in such a grim atmosphere, it was strange that she was even in the mood to eye Zed intently up

and down.

After examining Zed for a while, she was surprised by his outstanding appearance and his confident

stature. He wore a professional but guarded look. Part of her finally understood why Moore would

believe in him unconditionally.

Beside her was an exceptionally excellent man with such handsome features and a tall and straight

figure. He looked quite easy and behaved so elegant and noble even in front of Adolf, who was once a

gangster.

'No wonder Jean married him. I believe that any woman will fall in love with such an excellent man at

the first sight, ' Avery thought.

Hearing Avery's words, Adolf suddenly became alert. He frowned in bewilderment and turned to Albert,

giving him a serious and aggressive look. "What secret is she talking about?"

Stared by Adolf like this, Albert immediately found it difficult to breathe. He felt like his lungs were being

squeezed at the moment. He tried to compose himself and explained to Adolf with a complex look,

"Adolf, don't believe Avery. She is talking nonsense. I mean, think about it. All she wants now is to try

all means to leave you, so she deliberately makes up a story to drive?a?wedge?between?us and make

us turn against each other."

"Is that so?" Adolf's expression looked terrible after hearing Albert's explanation. He looked at Avery

with such cold eyes and asked, "Is it true? Do you really want to leave me?"

Avery shook her head instantly. "Of course not, he is lying to you!" She gave Adolf a sincere look and

said, "Adolf, I am telling you the truth. I don't want to leave you. My acting career is just beginning. Do

you think I'm that dumb enough to leave at this critical point in my life?"

"Then, tell me, why you are not sleeping in your room? And why are you here with them? What were

you about to do?" It was obvious that Adolf didn't believe Avery's words, and his tone became colder

and colder as he questioned her.

Avery noticed that Adolf was on the verge of getting mad, so a bitter smile appeared on her face, but

before she could open her mouth and explain, Zed stopped her.

"Listen to me, Adolf. I'll tell you exactly what really happened. When my wife saw Avery for the first

time, she had a favorable impression on her, and I can even say that she admires her. That's why she

became anxious when Avery got sick right away. Who wouldn't be anyway? Avery hasn't even stepped

foot on the ground for a day. So imagine how she would react when Albert told us that you had badly

scolded Avery, and he even told us how you just used Avery to be your money spinner. Naturally, my

wife, no, all of us too became more anxious for her. That's why we gave in when Albert told us to pick

up Avery in the middle of the night and ask her whether you had treated her badly or not. In the end,

we all have been utilized by Albert, and obviously all this was his trick to make us all turn against each

other. Adolf, I believe that you are a smart man. I hope that you can use that head of yours to think

about this whole situation. How could we manage to bring Avery here if there's no one else secretly

helping us? You know how difficult it is to get rid of the bodyguards given our stature. Moreover, who

brought you here in the middle of the night? Aren't you suspicious at all of Albert's actions?"
