After the loud noise of the chainsaw cutting through the door, the door was kicked open.

The crowd saw Averie screaming strangely while holding a broom high, looking like a l*c as s**he attacked Vera who was still lying on the bed. “You b**h, I’ll kill you! I’ll kill-”

“Stop!” Carlos rushed forward quickly, grabbing the broom in Averie’s hand and shoving her back.

Averie stumbled. Steadying herself, she raised the broom again toward Vera.

Carlos’s eyes turned to ice. He roared, “That’s enough.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

None of them expected Averie to attack Carlos, who was standing in her way. Averie looked as though she was possessed.

The bodyguards were shocked and hurriedly intervened.

Averie was restrained before the broom fell on Carlos. She continued to glare at Vera with reddened eyes. “I’m going to kill you, b**h. I’m going to-”

A loud smack rang in the room. Carlos had slapped Averie.

“Can you think straight now?” Carlos was not a sympathetic or gentle man. Anyone, be it friend or foe, who dared to act recklessly before him must be prepared to bear the consequences.

Averie jolted. Her unfocused gaze sharpened, and she suddenly realized Carlos was standing before her.

“I… She…” Averie was scared and incoherent, but she still tried to slander Vera. “It’s all her fault. She provoked me. That’s why I hit her with the broom.”

“We all know that is not true, Miss Powell.” Dayton exposed Averie’s lie immediately. “Miss Vivian was resting in her room all along. You s**tc**d the broom from the maid and barged in to attack her.”

Those who had witnessed how Vera had painstakingly taken care of Carlos when he was in a coma did not like Averie. In their eyes, Vera was Carlos’s wife, while Averie was just a shameless woman who got between them.

Moreover, Averie never treated the s***ts well. Now that she was in trouble, no one spoke up for her. The s**ts nodded in agreement, confirming Dayton’s words.

“But it was her who seduced Carlos first!” Averie glared viciously at Dayton and the

“Shut up,” Carlos micrrupted Averie and asked Dayton, “Where is the doctor? Why is he taking so long?”

Averie felt even more aggrieved when she saw Carlos caring about Vera, “Carlos, how can you…” Had he forgotten his image of a doting husband? How could he humiliate her before the s**ts?

“Go home.” Carlos didn’t want to see Averie except when needed. He would be reminded of Vera and his children’s tragic deaths when he set eyes on her. Unfortunately, Averie was not self-aware and always considered herself a benefactor to Carlos and his son.

Averie dared not disobey Carlos. However, she did not want to leave like that. Thankfully, the doctor arrived. Averie used the excuse of apologizing to Vera after she woke up to remain.

The family doctor first woke Vera up and then conducted an examination. Vera was asked some questions, and finally, the doctor concluded, “She’s fine. She just had a few bumps on the head and a little swell. She’ll be right as rain tomorrow with some medication.”

Vera said nothing. She knew how difficult it was to fool Carlos. So, after provoking Averie, she deliberately let Averie hit her a few times.

Averie had held her tongue patiently, waiting for Vera to wake up so she could

confront her. Before Carlos spoke, she shouted, “She hit herself and then framed

me. Carlos, don’t be deceived by this b**h.”
