Chapter 214 – James’ Delight
******James knew that Irene wasn’t foolish.Once she realized the sort of hell the rest of her life was going to be, she would want to fight tooth and nail if given the chance, and that was why he couldn’t allow even a sliver of risk.Thinking back now, James couldn’t help but suddenly feel an odd sense of satisfaction within him, utterly relieved that he had pulled the trigger when he did.The misunderstanding from earlier… that Avery had overheard his revelation had already shown him that he wasn’t untouchable. In fact, all it needed for his life to turn upside down was the slight chance of the Walker family discovering his intentions.Moreover… that look that had appeared on Irene’s face when she realized he was the puppeteer pulling the strings… that expression alone was worth everything.It was the sweetest reward for him… so satisfying.“Don’t worry,” James whispered suddenly, his eyes gleaming with a manic brightness as his mind went back to the soulless Irene. “Tomorro
Chapter 213 – James’ Relief
******Irene, startled by the sudden cry, trembled slightly, her vacant eyes suddenly flickering. But before they could fully focus, Avery lunged forward, her excitement overflowing, and then, not waiting for permission, she clasped her wrist tightly.“There’s no time to waste,” Avery declared proudly and excitedly, giggling. “We must go check your wedding dress already, make sure it fits, and prepare every other detail for the grand event tomorrow.” Her words poured out one after another in breathless eagerness as she tugged Irene toward the door.But then, mid-step, she stopped and glanced apologetically at James.“Sorry, hubby! I hope you don’t mind going to rest in my room by yourself. There’s still so much I have to take care of before tomorrow.”James smiled sweetly. “It’s fine, my love,” he replied smoothly, his voice carrying its usual false warmth. “As long as you make sure you don’t overstress yourself and our baby.”Then, waving his hand as if magnanimous, he added,
Chapter 212 – Irene’s Disbelief II
******Of all people, Irene knew well that her family was fully aware of her unwillingness to marry this man they were forcing her to.They knew she despised the very idea to her very core. Yet here was Avery, painting the arrangement as if it were an act of devotion, a grand gesture done solely for her sake.This wasn’t just an art of hypocrisy again… it was a brazen cruelty disguised as goodwill.Thinking this, her body began to tremble… faintly at first, then violently.Before she knew it, terror surged through her veins and drained all the remaining strength left in her. Irene had already known that her marriage was inescapable, but even then, she had desperately clung to that single week, determined to make a good use of it; after all, it was the last taste of freedom... the fleeting chance to brace herself for the inevitable shackles awaiting her.She had staked all her desperate hope on that brief time… hoping that some miracle and even the faintest chance of escape mig
Chapter 211 – Irene’s Disbelief
******Until now, Irene had been so stunned by her elder sister’s wild accusation that her body had gone completely rigid, her nerve locked in disbelief.Normally, nothing should have been able to pull her back to her senses… not easily, at the very least, and even if she did eventually return to herself, it should have only been to stare at Avery in cold disappointment before walking away without saying a word.But…The news Avery had just shared had not only completely shattered her trance like a sledgehammer hitting a fragile piece of glass, but it had also unfrozen her in an instant… though not with relief.This was completely different from the shock she had felt at the baseless allegation… No.That had been the silence of someone who had been wrongly accused of something they would never have considered in their entire life, even if it was the only thing left to do on earth. But this one… it was indescribable.At this moment, Irene’s entire being had not only faltered, bu
Chapter 210 – A Sudden Bad News
******For a moment, Irene simply stared at Avery in complete stupor, her accusation ringing like a bell chime in her ears, too unreal and absurd to believe.‘Didn’t I come here first?’ she thought blankly and subconsciously, not knowing how to react to the sudden allegation laid against her.But Avery… the longer she stared at her sister’s silence, the more her expression twisted.In no time, whatever warmth that had softened her face drained away completely in the blink of an eye, replaced by pure hostility… disgust, fury, and a deep, simmering distrust.Ultimately, her lips curled as though the very sight of Irene was offensive, and…“Sister, don’t tell me that… you… you have an eye for my husband?” She uttered, her words suddenly dropping like a stone into the room, causing both Irene and James to freeze, their jaws dropping, and their eyes widening in utter disbelief.“Have an eye for your husband?” Irene repeated, her voice shooting out instinctively, sounding utterly inc
Chapter 209 – Avery’s Accusation
******Just like James, Irene had also believed that Avery had overheard his earlier confession, a thought that had thrilled and comforted her, bringing her the sudden, dizzying relief that perhaps she wouldn’t have to bear the impossible task of trying to convince her sister again.For a fleeting moment there, it had felt like heaven itself had finally taken pity on her and extended a hand to drag her and her family out of the inevitable, destroying trap that was closing around them.But… she had been utterly, heartbreakingly wrong.Avery hadn’t heard anything… not a single damning word.She hadn’t even come close to guessing the truth. Instead, her fury, her disbelief, and the raw pain that was on her face… had nothing to do with James’s secret plans.No, it was all over something as ridiculous as being given the iPhone 15 Pro Max instead of the 17 Pro Max she had been promised.If the situation had been different, Irene might have laughed until her stomach ached; after all,
