Her back hit the corner of the sofa, and then she fell to the ground. The intense pain made her tremble.

But no matter how painful she was, she could no longer care about it. She looked at Avery who suddenlyappeared in front of her in disbelief. She could not understand why

Moreover, he had come down the stairs, so he should have come earlier than her.

Avery lifted Vivian’s chin with the tips of his leather shoes and then crushed her hand that was grabbingthe knife, his face filled with disgust and anger.

“You filthy thing!”

The bodyguards who quickly came down had controlled Jax, who was drunk, and the man Jax hadbrought over.

Cyrus came down from behind and spoke to Vivian, “Ms. Sheridan, you took a detour, but you probablydon’t know that the taxi company can check the route of the taxi at any time, right? And we have to thankMr. Bullock for leading the way.”

As Cyrus spoke, he looked at the man Jax brought over. “Let him go. He’s one of us.

us.”

The bodyguards immediately let go of the man. The man who acted awkwardly in front of Vivian and Jaxjust now immediately became agile when he got up.

He respectfully looked at Avery and called out, “Mr. Gallard.”

Avery smiled coldly at Jax, who was flustered, “After drinking with me for two days, he became yourconfidant. You even brought him here. Mr. Bullock, I’m so impressed by

your IQ.”

Vivian was so angry that she even forgot her current situation. She scolded Jax, “You

idiot!”

Avery turned around and bent down to grab Vivian’s neck. “Idiot? Ms. Sheridan, you should think aboutyourself first. You fooled me with my grandfather for such a long time. What do you think I should do tovent my hatred?”

Vivian had seen Avery’s torture methods before.

After Vivian was grabbed by the neck, her anger and confidence seemed to have disappeared in aninstant, and she felt a chill all over.

Avery would not let her go. He would make her suffer a fate worse than death.

Realizing it, Vivian turned pale. She could not breathe, but still struggled to make a sound, “Avery, youmust listen to me. At the very least, I am the one who saved your

life.”

“Saved my life?” Avery repeated her words, and the coldness in his

Vivian felt a chill in her heart, thinking, at the very least, he still treats me as his savior.

No matter what, he won’t be too ruthless with me.

I saved him, so he must spare my life to repay my kindness.

Avery took out two photos from his jacket and smashed them onto Vivian’s face.

“Ms. Sheridan, did you say

that you

saved

my life?”

Vivian looked at the photos on the ground. One was the photo of Vivian and Jax at the airport. It was theback view of them entering the boarding gate together.

However, their faces couldn’t be seen in it, so she lied to Avery successfully with the

excuse.

As for the other photo, Vivian looked over and immediately clenched her hands.

It was a photo with their faces shown clearly, and it was the scene of them entering the

boarding gate. In the photo, the faces of Vivian and Jax were photographed clearly, and

even the smile on Vivian’s face could be seen.

Vivian froze, and just as she struggled to squat up a little, she fell to the ground again.

She shook her head desperately, saying, “That’s impossible. Avery, the photo must be fake. The back isnot mine. There isn’t even a scar on her left shoulder. Did you notice it?

“The other photo must be fake. Avery, you can’t be deceived by others.

Before Vivian could finish her words, Avery gritted his teeth, and the hand that was

grabbing her neck exerted force.

Vivian took a step back uncontrollably. The back of her head hit the corner of the sofa behind her heavily.She could feel a sense of warmth in her hair, and she realized that it was bleeding.

Avery glared at her with anger in his eyes. “Vivian, do you think that I only saw two photos when Iinvestigated so much?

“Do you think that after so many years, I will not be able to recover the surveillance video that youdestroyed at the airport?”

Vivian’s face was pale. She opened her mouth, but because of the huge panic, she could not speak.

She could insist that the photos were fake, but what about the surveillance video?

Now that things had come to this, Vivian knew that Avery would not lie just to scare her.

Vivian knelt in panic, saying, “Avery, I know I was wrong. It’s all my fault. Back then, it was me who lied toyou and left with Mr. Bullock.

“But I had no choice. Ms. Garcia and Mrs. Gallard forced me, so I had no other choice but to leave withMr. Bullock first.”

Vivian didn’t have time to think about it, so she could just lie again, “And today, Mr. Bullock threatenedme and said that he wanted me to come over and kill Roselyn.

“If I don’t do it, he will expose everything that happened that year. He will also spread the photos of mebeing drugged and raped by him that day. I have no choice. I am

afraid… Ah!”

Before Vivian could finish speaking, Avery released her neck and slapped her hard on

the face.

His voice was extremely cold, “Vivian, you’re still trying to frame Darlene and my His voice was extremelycold, “Vivian, you’re sti

pay the price!”

Avery picked up the photo of Vivian’s back on the ground. “There is no scar on your back in this photo.Then what about the scar on your

yourself? Or do you want my people to take a close look at you?”

Vivian shrank with fear on her face as she wanted to retreat, saying in a tremble, “Avery, I saved yourlife. It’s the truth. You can doubt anything about me, but I am your savior, which is undeniable.

“Also, the Sheridan family has been kind to the Gallard family. Andrew told you to treat me well no matterwhat. Do you remember it?”

Avery glanced at the bodyguards behind him, and then two of them controlled Vivian from both sides.

Vivian watched helplessly as Avery approached her step by step. She was so scared that her entire bodywas drenched in sweat. Sweat dripped down from her forehead.

Avery bent over and reached out his hand. With a ripping sound, he tore off her shirt from her shoulderand threw it to the side in disgust.

Seeing Vivian cover her chest with a face full of humiliation, he sneered in disgust, “Don’t worry. Even ifyou’re naked, other than Jax, who had terrible taste, my people won’t be interested in you.”

He ordered in a cold voice, “Check her carefully. Is her scar tattooed, drawn, or deliberately injured?”

Avery looked down at her and sneered, “I have never looked closely at your wound. But after so manyyears, your scar doesn’t fade. Instead, it became more obvious.”

Behind Avery, Cyrus received a call. When the doctor who was brought by Avery examined Vivian’s scar,Cyrus approached Avery with a sullen face and lowered his

voice.

“Mr. Gallard, there is a big problem. Ms. Garcia disappeared with her grandmother.”
