AVERY WINTERS

Finally, peace had returned to the house.

For the first time in a long while, the mansion no longer felt suffocating or filled with hidden tension. Everywhere felt calmer, lighter… cleaner. It was almost as though the bad omen that had been hanging over this house for months had finally disappeared together with Hazel.

Now that she was gone, we could finally focus on something else— the spies she had planted all over the places and within the mansion itself.

    AVERY WINTERS Finally, peace had returned to the house.For the first time in a long while, the mansion no longer felt suffocating or filled with hidden tension. Everywhere felt calmer, lighter… cleaner. It was almost as though the bad omen that had been hanging over this house for months had finally disappeared together with Hazel.Now that she was gone, we could finally focus on something else— the spies she had planted all over the places and within the mansion itself.Although Bernard had already managed to fish out many of them, deep down, I still believed there were more hiding among us.And if there truly were more traitors left, then we would definitely deal with every single one of them.“So, what’s next now?” Charlotte asked curiously.I smiled softly before grabbing her hand and gently caressing her arm.“What else besides your wedding?” I asked teasingly. “It’s already around the corner, and we absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes.”“Avery is right,” Harper immed

    AVERY WINTERS The same punishment that had once been bestowed upon Jonathan was now being given to Hazel too. However, hers was far worse than what Jonathan had suffered. Exactly the way Bernard and I had discussed it in private was exactly how he carried it out before everyone.While Bernard was exposing every single thing Hazel had done, he almost revealed Aaron’s true identity as well, but I quickly stopped him before the words could leave his mouth completely.Even after all her secrets had been exposed before the entire organization, Hazel still refused to admit to any of it. Despite the countless accusations, the evidence against her, and the hateful glares directed her way, she continued denying everything stubbornly. She kept insisting that Bernard was mistaken, as if all the proof against her meant absolutely nothing.Even while the guards dragged her away, she continued screaming and threatening me at the top of her lungs. She kept yelling that Bernard belonged to her, and

    AVERY WINTERS Fake tears immediately began streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.She squeezed her eyes shut tightly for a few seconds as though trying to force herself to appear pitiful before slowly opening them again.“Bernard… please…” she cried weakly, struggling against his grip as he continued choking her mercilessly. “I don’t know what you heard, but whatever it is, you’re mistaken. I would never hurt you. You know that already…”Her voice came out strained and broken.At this point, her eyes were already rolling backward from lack of air, and it looked like she was only seconds away from fainting completely.Then suddenly, Bernard released her violently and shoved her away from him with so much force that she stumbled backward roughly.She almost collapsed completely before managing to steady herself weakly.Without sparing her another glance, Ben turned to face the people.“This woman standing here…” he began coldly while pointing directly at Hazel, “is not only connecte

    AVERY WINTERS “As everyone gathered here already knows…” Bernard began slowly, his cold gaze sweeping across the faces of the people seated and standing inside the hall, “I invited all of you here tonight because there is something extremely important I need to announce.”The entire hall instantly fell into complete silence.No one dared to make a sound.“It concerns Hazel,” he added finally, turning his gaze directly toward where she was seated.The moment everyone’s attention shifted toward her, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.Of course.She truly believed this gathering was meant to honor her.Without hesitation, she gracefully rose from her seat, smoothing down her dress proudly before bowing slightly toward the crowd with that same fake innocent smile still plastered perfectly across her face.If only she knew what was about to happen next.The woman sitting there proudly, believing she had finally achieved nothing but victory, had no idea that she had already d

    AVERY WINTERS “Hi, girls,” she greeted as she stopped right in front of us, a smug smile proudly sitting on her face as though she had already won everything she ever wanted.“What insolence!” Lilian suddenly snapped angrily before I could even say a word.Her face tightened with irritation as she glared hard at Hazel.“Even if you gave birth to Mr. Reed’s heir, you still owe respect to the legal wife of this house,” she continued sharply. “Where are your manners?”Honestly, I almost smiled at Lilian’s boldness.If only she knew how pointless it was to argue with Hazel now.Very soon, Hazel was going to face the consequences of everything she had done, and when karma finally hit her, it was going to destroy her completely.“There’s no need for that, Lilian,” I said calmly, waving my hand slightly. “Just let it go.”“But Mrs. Reed, she—”Lilian tried to protest again, but I immediately stopped her with a stern look.The moment our eyes met, she understood exactly what I meant.Without

    AVERY WINTERS After managing to calm Bernard down a little, I gently pulled away from him and carefully guided him toward the couch so he could sit down properly.“Ben, I know you are extremely angry right now,” I said softly, trying my best to soothe him, “but you really need to calm yourself down.”Unfortunately, my words did not help at all. And instead, he seemed even more irritated by them.He immediately turned to look at me, anger blazing fiercely in his eyes. Even though deep down, I knew very well that those angry eyes were not directed at me, the intensity behind them still made my chest tighten painfully.“What are you saying, Avery?” he asked in a furious tone. “How exactly do you expect me to calm down after finding out that the child I believed was mine all this time isn’t mine at all? Tell me, how am I supposed to deal with that?”His voice carried nothing but rage, betrayal, and pain.“I know,” I replied gently, reaching for his hand again. “And trust me, I truly unde

    AVERY WINTERSI stared at him, my heart with fear. "Yes, Bernard. That's all he was to me. My ex, and my past. Please, don't listen to his words," I pleaded, my voice trembling with fear.I didn't know how things suddenly turned around between us, just a moment ago, we were both happy, things were

    AVERY WINTERSStuck between Bernard's question and the worried thoughts swirling in my mind, I clenched my hand into a tight fist. I don't know what exactly is going on. I kept wondering how Caden got my contact, and what exactly was he after? I had thought meeting him at the mall was merely a co

    AVERY WINTERSA heavy sigh escaped my lips as I pulled out my phone from my purse and dialed Ivy's number."Girl, isn't it too early for you to call?" she teased, chuckling. "Is Bernard not there with you or what?" she added."He knows about everything," I muttered, worriedly. Her tone instantly t

    AVERY WINTERSLater, in the evening, I sat in the living room, scrolling through my emails. I hadn't gone to the office that day, so I was trying to catch up with work before it becomes overload for me. Just then, the main door swung open, and my gaze snapped up.Harper Reed walked in, and my eye
