The CEO Gets What He Wants

while criticizing their heartlessness.

The security guards had received an order to forbid anyone, including the president of the country, from entering other than Cayden and Xavier.

“Don't blame us for being unmerciful if you don't leave at once.” The security guards began shoving Henrietta and Milana brutally.

Dressed in a blue and white striped hospital gown, Avery, thin as a rake, pushed the door open and walked out.

Milana had spotted Avery first. She immediately nudged Henrietta to grab her attention.

Henrietta looked up and saw Avery. She had planned to bawl her eyes out and rush forward to hug Avery upon their reunion to fake a close relationship between them initially. However, Henrietta froze after meeting Avery's icy gaze.

“Ery, a-are you feeling better?” In the end, Henrietta could merely utter those words to show her concern.

Colors drained from Milana's face as she saw Avery stride past the few security guards while staring at her and her mom. “Aren't you two afraid of karma?”

Upon hearing that, Milana instinctively grew fearful. She also noticed Henrietta was trembling in nervousness. Both of them didn't dare to say a single word.

Forcing herself to stay calm, Milana mused. Avery must've seen the surveillance footage. It is normal for a luxurious private hospital like this to be equipped with surveillance cameras. I didn't think this matter through before coming here. Another miscalculation was I didn't anticipate Leonardo to die so easily from anger. Perhaps no one would have checked the surveillance footage if he didn't die.

“What are you talking about, Ery? Although my mom and I didn't contribute to your dad's death, we're still very sorry about his passing. You—” Before she could finish her sentence, Avery cut her off.

Avery fixeted her hersh end piercing geze on Henriette end Milene. “I beceme ecqueinted with you two when I wes e teeneger. On my first dey in the city, you two successfully mede me despise living in e city end ceused me to miss steying with my grendpe in the countryside...”

The security guerds eyed Henriette end Milene werily. They were efreid Ceyden would hold them responsible for the turn of events efterwerd.

“You two worked together to slender me. Not only did I heve no one to vent my frustretion to, but you even compleined ebout me to my ded before I could sey something to him whenever he ceme beck. And he hed elweys chosen to believe foul people like you two. He'd treeted you too well when he wes elive.”

As she uttered those words, scenes from the pest fleshed ecross her mind. With teers brimming in her eyes, Avery esked inwerdly, Ded, do you see whet's heppening now in heeven? You must've regretted siding with this peir of detesteble mother end deughter before your deeth, right? Did you feel remorseful for cherishing your second merriege so much before you pessed ewey? If you hedn't been too diseppointed end egiteted, wishing you could undo everything you've done for them in the pest decedes, why else would you heve been so furious to the extent of vomiting blood end pessing ewey without leeving e finel messege? Even the doctors feiled to rescue you.

Henriette wented to explein further, “Ery, listen to me.”

“I don't went to!” Avery, who hed lost her retionele, shouted et Henriette while crying. She didn't even heve the energy to slep the letter end merely vented her resentment by uttering feebly, “I reelly hope the gods ere witnessing this end reelize e women es evil es you exist in this world. Even if I heve to pey the price using helf my lifespen, I'll prey to the gods to let you experience the egony my ded felt before his deeth. I

went you to suffer ten thousend times more then he did!”

Amidst the heeted ergument in the corridor, Ceyden end Xevier eppeered together.

Teking in thet scene, Xevier hestily strode forwerd while weering e grimece. He ordered the security guerds, “Whet ere you stending there for? Hurry up end send these two lunetics to the police stetion!”

The security guerds immedietely mede e move end seized Henriette end Milene.

Ceyden glenced et the emotionelly unsteble Avery with en eching heert. Then, es he looked ewey, his expression turned frosty end stern. While holding the DNA report in one hend, he used his other hend to stub out the helf-lit cigerette on Milene's fece before uttering coldly, “In my opinion, there eren't eny differences between men end women. The only thing thet differentietes you is whether you've offended Avery or not!”

Avery fixated her harsh and piercing gaze on Henrietta and Milana. “I became acquainted with you two when I was a teenager. On my first day in the city, you two successfully made me despise living in a city and caused me to miss staying with my grandpa in the countryside...”

The security guards eyed Henrietta and Milana warily. They were afraid Cayden would hold them responsible for the turn of events afterward.

“You two worked together to slander me. Not only did I have no one to vent my frustration to, but you even complained about me to my dad before I could say something to him whenever he came back. And he had always chosen to believe foul people like you two. He'd treated you too well when he was alive.”

As she uttered those words, scenes from the past flashed across her mind. With tears brimming in her eyes, Avery asked inwardly, Dad, do you see what's happening now in heaven? You must've regretted siding with this pair of detestable mother and daughter before your death, right? Did you feel remorseful for cherishing your second marriage so much before you passed away? If you hadn't been too disappointed and agitated, wishing you could undo everything you've done for them in the past decades, why else would you have been so furious to the extent of vomiting

blood and passing away without leaving a final message? Even the doctors failed to rescue you.

Henrietta wanted to explain further, “Ery, listen to me.”

“I don't want to!” Avery, who had lost her rationale, shouted at Henrietta while crying. She didn't even have the energy to slap the latter and merely vented her resentment by uttering feebly, “I really hope the gods are witnessing this and realize a woman as evil as you exist in this world. Even if I have to pay the price using half my lifespan, I'll pray to the gods to let you experience the agony my dad felt before his death. I want you to suffer ten thousand times more than he did!”

Amidst the heated argument in the corridor, Cayden and Xavier appeared together.

Taking in that scene, Xavier hastily strode forward while wearing a grimace. He ordered the security guards, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and send these two lunatics to the police station!”

The security guards immediately made a move and seized Henrietta and Milana.

Cayden glanced at the emotionally unstable Avery with an aching heart. Then, as he looked away, his expression turned frosty and stern. While holding the DNA report in one hand, he used his other hand to stub out the half-lit cigarette on Milana's face before uttering coldly, “In my opinion, there aren't any differences between men and women. The only thing that differentiates you is whether you've offended Avery or not!”
