Husband

“Alright. That’s enough.” Vera smiled, raising her hand to stop the enthusiastic fans. She hugged James’s arm. “Thanks, Jamies” 

Vera had already seen Averie walking away in annoyance out of the comer of her eye. Vera scoffed. She thought mockingly. Olst Can’t stand it, Averie? Would you feel worse if you knew the woman who outshone you today was the same one you used to shade and called “Fat b***h‘?‘ 

Averie had done well in the entertainment industry over the years. She was a small–time model from an insignificant firm, relying on Carlos’s support to become a top–tier celebrity. 

It was too bad for Averie that Vera was back. Vera vowed to make Carles and Averia pay in blood for the way they had treated her and for the death of her innocent oldest son. 

Vera was no orphan, nor was she the pitiful maid of the Monroe family. She was the beloved daughter of the mysterious and wealthy Ford family Not only did Vera have doting parents, but she also had six brothers who pampered her like a princes 

James, who came to pick up Vera, was her sixth brother and a business genius. 

“No need for niceties. We are twins after all” Jaimes put his arms around Vera’s shoulders affectionately, 

Nine years ago, when Vera was seventeen, she was secretly pushed into the sea and couldn’t be found, James was the most anxious of them, searching the world for Vera before finally finding clues of her in Hiyon 

James was fortunately nearby when Vera was trapped in the fire years ago. He successfully rescued her and the two children 

James looked around and asked, “Where are Samuel and Catherine?” 

“Relax. Those two rascals are impossible to lose.” Vera’s gaze had been on her two precious children. 

Samuel Flynn was looking unhappily at Averie with big eyes Please move aside, loser. You’re blocking the way? Since Averie pushed his mother, Samuel decided there was no need to play nice. 

“What did you call me? Averie demanded. She hated being called old, but the kid was too much. 

“Loser.” Samuel shrugged. “You’re old, and you’re wearing imitation stuff. Do you think you should be called something nice like madam or miss!” 

“You brat. What do you know?” Averie was exposed and was furious. She wanted to hit Samuel’s head. 

Samuel was prepared. He took out a child’s phone, aimed it at Averic, and pointed at the glass outside. “Loser, your fans are watching outside. 

“How adorable you are. I like you so much!” Averie instantly put on a fake smile and reached out to pinch Samuel’s tender little face 

Samuel dodged. He blinked and taunted, “Mommy told me not to play with strangers” 

A wave of anger coursed through Averie. What a bastard. If I ever run into you again, I won’t let you off easy? she thought, 

Liule did Averie know Samuel could hear her thoughts. It was an ability he was born with Samuel could hear anyone bad–mouthing him in their minds 

Samuel rolled his eyes. How could she be so sure I won’t do worse? 

Catherine Flynn watched Averie saunter toward her fans outside. Her two pigtails bounced as she walked to her brother. “Are you sure she is the evil woman who stepped on Mommy’s belly and wanted to burn us alive?” 

Samuel nodded, “It’s her” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Then she’s in big trouble today. Watch me. Catherine took out a small ball from her overalls, muttered a few words like a spell, and then threw it toward the direction of Averia’s luggage cart 

What followed was almost miraculous. The ball rolled rapidly forward and got caught on one of the wheels. The luggage cart slid to the side and caught Averie’s long silk dress. 

There was a loud ripping sound. The dress was torn. 

Averie was about to walk out and greet her fans when her dress vanished, leaving her in her lingerie. 

Averie only realized it after the cameras from the fans and media started flashing. She shrieked and hurriedly shielded herself. 

James smirked. ‘Doesn’t she always like being i in the headlines! This will be interesting” he mused. 

“That’s dope. Catherine, did you get better with your curses? Samuel asked. 

“Samuel, you can’t see. Mom said we can’t see things like that, Catherine responded. 

The two children covered each other’s eyes. 

“You two!” Vera hurried over and lectured sternly, “Did you forget what I warned you about!” She didn’t want her children to be able to read minds or cast spells. She feared that using those abilities‘ might bring unexpected disasters to them. 

Unfortunately, everyone at home spoiled the children so much that they did whatever they wanted and never listened to her. 

“Uncle James, save ust Catherine and Samuel turned to James for support at once. 

James was still single. He treated his sister’s children as if they were his own. He not only took up the responsibilities of a father but was also protective of them 

“Alright, Vivian. They’re only five. They’re still kids. It’ll take time to teach them. Besides, didn’t they mess with her for you?” James carried a child in each arm, hugging them tightly. 

“They shouldn’t get involved in the adults‘ business” Vera had returned for revenge and didn’t want to bring the children into it. Unfortunately, she and the children couldn’t be separated, so she brought them along 

Vera’s repeated warnings to wear masks, conceal their identities, and not reveal their abilities were ignored. 

The Monroe family was based in Hiyen for many years and had accumulated a lot of connections and influence. Under Carlos’s management, the Monroe Group, in particular, had grown especially powerful in recent years. The Monroe family could rival the Ford family now. 

Vera didn’t want anything to happen to the children. 

“Alright, I’ll talk to them when we get back. Is that okay?” James walked out happily with the two children. “Let’s go! Uncle James will take you somewhere with delicious food to welcome you here.” 

Lunch was scheduled at the best restaurant in Hiyon. After the meal, James took the children back home to rest while Vera went alone to the cemetery with more than a dozen bodyguards from the Ford family 

“Miss Vivian, this is the tomb where Mr. Monroe lay you to rest. Vera’s gare followed the direction indicated by the leader of the bodyguards and froze. Her breath quickened.” 

Vera did not expect to see a tall figure standing in front of her tombstone. It was Carlos. Why would he come to her grave? Was he there to brag about marrying Averie three months later!
