Free Web NovelChapter 828: Chapter 430: A Bit of Happiness, a Bit of Worry (2)
Avery Jane’s future sister-in-law is Joshua Hughes’ fiancée, then this woman is Joshua Hughes’ first love, and finally, this woman, as radiant as the noon sun, turns out to be his first love. So what does Avery Jane count as now? Mistress? Lover? Girlfriend? Or the worst term, concubine?
At this moment, Angela Scott was bewildered as well. She really wanted to approach Avery Jane and see what the situation was, but she didn’t dare, and Avery Jane seemed very odd, as if she didn’t recognize her.
"Let’s discuss a deal, Miss Scott. I know you have a brother who just graduated. The Maitland Group’s engineering office here definitely needs to recruit a lot of people. His expertise is in information management and collection, and I can get him a very good job with very generous pay," Donna said before pausing, picking up her coffee and taking a sip. Although it wasn’t particularly good coffee and not that authentic, in such a company, it was decent.
Angela Scott’s heart pounded wildly. She could roughly guess what Donna wanted to do; she didn’t want to go against Joshua Hughes, yet the offer from this woman was too tempting, so tempting that she almost couldn’t refuse. Perhaps Joshua Hughes was just trying to scare her. After all, this is a society ruled by law; he wouldn’t really kill anyone, right?
The scales in her heart wavered indefinitely, her mouth dry as she hesitantly opened it: "What do you want?"
:"Don’t worry, Miss Scott. I just want you to tell me everything that happened, that’s all." Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. Donna wants to know all about the story between Joshua Hughes and that frail girl so that she can find the critical point to break them apart.
"I don’t actually know much." As a betrayer, one’s heart suffers torment, and Angela Scott hated herself for always being cast in the role of betrayer. But she had no choice; she only wanted to live a good life and help her brother. Because for young people in such a city, finding a good job is incredibly hard. She didn’t want her brother to follow in the footsteps of his classmates, squeezing onto the subway every day, rushing around this gigantic city, looking for a barely livable job.
She herself had come this way; it was too bitter.
"I don’t want to know too much either, just tell me everything you know, and please change the cold coffee for me." Donna was filled with confidence; Angela was bound to say it, and after saying it, she wouldn’t refuse any collaboration proposed. For once you step into the mire of greed, you can never turn back, only go further...

In the study, the orange light filled the room warmly. Avery Jane sat there, seriously reading a book, while Joshua Hughes focused on the data on his computer. He liked this kind of life.
She liked him; he saw the fondness and reliance in her eyes. Even without social engagements, their quiet companionship made him feel incredibly grounded.
The indoor light cast onto her, black hair, red lips, a fair face with a touch of rosy glow. These days, her appetite has grown a little, making her appear more plump. Though she hadn’t gained much weight, she looked a lot healthier.
Beneath the long, wide robe, her shapely figure always drove him crazy after nightfall.
His gaze gradually grew hotter, the weightless heat sinking lower bit by bit. He cursed lowly in annoyance; these past two days, she was unavailable, and he couldn’t have her. Just two or three days felt like several centuries to him.
"Avery, where do you want to go for vacation this year?" Joshua Hughes irritatingly ruffled his hair, walking over to the sofa. Her tiny, jade-like feet curled on the couch, peeking out from beneath the wide robe, maybe because it was too cold, she couldn’t help but shrink back, wanting to retreat.
Even with the heating on, her little feet were always cold. Joshua Hughes sat down, loosened her robe’s belt, opened it up, and pulled her little feet onto his stomach to warm them.
His body was hot and scorching; beneath her feet lay his sensuous, neatly arranged abs, firm and elastic. Warmth gradually transferred from her icy soles, making her gasp comfortably: "No, it’s uncomfortable for you."
Avery Jane gently shook her head, wanting to pull her feet away. This winter, even just touching a little cold water made her feel unbearable, let alone her feet being so cold, placed on his stomach; how uncomfortable must it be for him.
His large hand gently caressed her little feet: "It’s okay...." His voice hoarse, gently squeezing her slender, sensual ankle.
"Can you get tickets?" Avery Jane, while enjoying his body warmth, returned her focus from the book, thinking it might be too crowded to go out now.
"Tickets?" Joshua Hughes chuckled lowly, laughter rising from his broad, sexy chest, causing a faint tremor.
She indeed forgot it all; he was Joshua Hughes; he didn’t need to book tickets.
His private jet could take her anywhere she wished to go, yet her asking such simple questions made her truly adorable.
The two conversed just like real spouses, about the fun of vacations. Although he always had vague concerns in his heart, he also indulged in this happiness.
