Chapter 273 I am not a Beggar
Mr Martins decided to forward the divorce agreement to his children. He looked at his children and said, “I just forwarded the divorce agreement to you for your perusal. Please let me know if you want me to change or add anything.”
Aiden whistled when he saw the alimony and said, “Daddy, I want to thank you on behalf of my mother. She is set for life. I just hope that she will not give Lily this money.”
Avery nodded her head as she concurred with Aiden. She looked at her father with worried eyes and asked, “Are you alright, Daddy? When are you moving out?”
Her father smiled at his daughter and replied, “I am alright, Sweetheart. I am moving out today, and I will stay at His Glory Hotel for now. I do have a mansion not far from the Taylor family mansion, but it is not furnished or decorated yet.
Sweetheart, please pack all your stuff in your bedroom. You can move them to my mansion or your apartment. I was told that Lily wanted to move into your bedroom with immediate effect.”
Avery smiled at her father and said, “I will donate my clothes to His Miracle Orphanage. Please give me your mansion’s keys, Daddy. I will find an interior designer to decorate the mansion for you.”
Her father smiled and replied, “Thank you in advance, Sweetheart. I will give you the mansion’s keys before you leave.”
A glint of viciousness flashed in Elizabeth’s eyes when she looked at Avery. It was not her intention to divorce her husband, but she was pushed by Avery. She stole her happiness and because of that, she would destroy her.
Then Mrs Martins quickly went to the storage room and came back with her betrothal gifts. She was overjoyed when Aunt Rose gave her the gifts. She never thought that the Taylor family would give her anything because of her estranged relationship with her daughter.
She loved her gifts a lot. However, she became angry when Lily told her that the Taylor family hadn’t given her even a handkerchief. Then she promised her precious niece that she would return the betrothal gifts to Avery.
She approached Avery with the betrothal gifts in her arms, then she dropped them at Avery’s feet and said, “I am not a beggar, and I don’t appreciate handouts.”
Aiden was dumbfounded by his mother’s behaviour. Mr Martins’ gaze was cold, and he asked, “Elizabeth, what is the meaning of this?”
Elizabeth looked at her husband with disdain in her eyes and replied, “I have never acknowledged Avery as my daughter. Hence, I am returning these gifts to her. I am not a dumping site.
Please don’t involve me in Avery’s life because I am not interested. I don’t care if she is dead or alive.”
Avery smiled faintly at Aunt Elizabeth and replied, “I apologize, Aunt Elizabeth. It will not happen again.” Avery’s eyes turned red; her mother’s words hurt her deeply.
Then she smiled sweetly at her husband and said, “Honey, may I have the car keys?” Xavier hugged his wife tightly for a long time, then he took the gifts to the car. He would never forgive Aunt Elizabeth for hurting his wife again and again.
A few minutes later, Xavier walked back to the living room and said, “Sweetheart, please take me to your bedroom to pack.” Avery smiled sweetly at her husband, then she took his hand and went to Avery’s bedroom.
The helpers went to Avery’s bedroom with boxes and asked, “Miss Avery, why don’t you let us pack for you?” Avery smiled at them and replied, “Don’t worry, I don’t have a lot of stuff. It will be quick.”
The helpers smiled at her, then they headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Xavier and Avery packed everything in the boxes.
Then she smiled sweetly at her husband and said, “My handsome husband, kindly take the piano to our car. It was a gift from my God grandparents when I was five years old.”
Xavier nodded his head and went to the lift with the piano in his hands. Avery took the exquisite box from her closet. It contained her wedding dress, then she quickly went to the third floor.
The study room door was wide open, and her father was packing his clothes in the suitcases. He smiled when he saw his beloved daughter and asked, “What are you carrying in your arms, Sweetheart?”
Avery smiled at her father and said, “Daddy, this is my wedding dress. Please keep it for me. I don’t want Xavier to see it before the wedding day.”
Her father took the exquisite box from his daughter smiling and asked, “When did you buy your wedding dress?”
Avery smiled back at her father and replied, “When I was fifteen years old, Daddy. I went to His Own Image Boutique to fetch my gown.
When I saw this wedding dress, I felt that the designer had me in his mind when he was designing it.
Aunt Joy told me that it was designed by a young man for his soulmate, and I got it free of charge.”
Her father was shocked when he heard his daughter’s words. He handed the set of keys, the gate remote, and the floor plan to his daughter.
He smiled broadly and said, “After you find the interior designer, please send the quotation to me.”
Avery smiled at her father and replied, “Daddy, this is my gift to you. I will pay for everything. How soon do you want to move into your mansion, Daddy?”
Her father smiled and replied, “Thank you, Sweetheart. I would like to move in before your engagement banquet.” Then Avery left her father’s study room and went back to her bedroom to finish packing.
In the living room, Aiden was asking his mother to reconsider when Lily walked into the living room. She looked at Aiden with disdain in her eyes and asked, “Aiden, when are you moving your stuff from the first floor?”
Aiden looked at Lily and said, “I don’t understand what you are talking about. This is my home, and no one can chase me away.” Lily laughed out loud and replied, “This is the Parker family asset. It was part of the divorce settlement.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Aiden took his phone from his suit jacket and started reading the divorce settlement and said, “After my ex-wife, Elizabeth Parker, passed away the house will be transferred to my eldest son, Aiden Martins.
Should he pass away before getting married, the house will be passed to my precious daughter, Avery Taylor. Therefore, my scheming cousin you don’t have a right to chase anyone in this house.”
Lily nearly fainted with anger. She was going to ask her aunt to transfer the mansion to her name. Unfortunately, it was her wishful thinking.
