Female Novel
Chapter 856
Violet, who had been feeling bored, perked up the second Avery came back.
With a candy in her mouth and a puffy cheek, she inquired, "How was it? Did you see her? What was herreaction? What did you two discuss?" novelbin
Avery untied his tie on the way up the stairs.
When he reached the corner, he paused and looked back at Violet, who was trailing behind him.
With a disinterested expression on his face, he replied, "Children should stay out of adult matters."
Violet sulked and whimpered, "I'm bored. Tell me everything!"
Helplessly, Avery shook his head. He kept walking upstairs and casually replied, "Nothing special. We just had aconversation. I didn't stay for long. After a few pleasantries, I was on my way out.
"How about your love rival? Did you see him?" Violet inquired again.
Avery went back to his room. His forehead veins twitched slightly as he turned around to see her eagerexpression.
"Why did I get the impression that you find this interesting?"
Violet blinked. Her lovely face appeared somewhat innocent. She argued, "I didn't. I'm just curious."
Avery removed his coat and stated flatly, "I saw him, but only from a distance."
"Didn't you talk?"
"No."
Violet became bored almost immediately. She grumbled, "This is boring. I was hoping something would happenbetween you two!"
Irwin stated, "I saw him from a distance, but I could tell that his aura was powerful. Really, that guy is somethingelse."
After saying this, he turned to Avery and said, "Mr. Cox, he's indeed an intimidating foe of yours."
Avery did not deny this. He still had a blank expression on his face and said, "That's what makes it interesting,isn't it?"
Violet pouted, not quite understanding his point. She shot back, "You find this interesting? That man has thepotential to steal your fiancée!"
In a confident retort, Avery said, "In this lifetime, no one can take away the things and people I'm interested in."
He had a determined look on his face as he said this.
However, Irwin disagreed, believing that Mr. Cox might not be capable of fulfilling his wish when it came tomatters of the heart. Despite his worries, he refused to let them dampen his spirits.
"You should get involved with Ms. Garcia's business in the future, Mr. Cox. Work or personal, you need to let herknow how you feel and what you've done for her. Ms. Garcia's father, for example, has been causing her
problems. Just recently, he's been able to forge ties with the black market."
A cold light flashed through Avery's amber eyes.
"Keep an eye on that guy. If the black market is bold enough to go after Neera, there is no reason for it to exist."
Irwin nodded and responded, "Got it."
...
After two days of planning, Alfonso was ready to make his move on Neera.
However, Marx, the person in charge dispatched by Asher this time, informed him.
"Your daughter hasn't been to work in two days. She has remained at home. I had someone snoop around herplace, and it turns out she has a high-tech security setup. Breaking in hastily will set off the alarm, making furtheraction more difficult."
Alfonso had not anticipated how complicated things would become. He made a disapproving face.
"There are so many of us. What exactly are we afraid of? My daughter, as extraordinary as she is, is still just abusinesswoman with a handful of regular security guards. So what if we set off the alarm in the house?
"If you're worried about anything going wrong, I believe we can find someone to try it out and see if they canbypass the safety measures. If we go in at night, we can easily abduct Neera!"
The tension in his voice increased as he spoke, giving the impression that he was clenching his teeth.
Marx simply looked at him and didn't respond, but he did think it was a good idea.
The high-tech security measures should not be a big problem. After all, the security guards protecting that womanwere all show and no substance. They could be taken down with a few moves.
Marx considered this and agreed, saying, "Okay, let's do as you say."
