Logan kept his head down at the tablet listening to all the national matters. But he slowly lifted his head after hearing Evan asked Rebecca to marry him.

"Does he finally come around?"

Logan handed the tablet over to Tinder. He gave Avery a calm look.

"I guess Evan goes practical in front of giant interests."

"I won't believe a word unless it's from him," Avery smiled decently, but she couldn't hide her panic.

She wasn't done finishing the business in Cambola City. Now she had to worry about Evan. She really couldn't have an easy day.

"I admire your mutual trust. But you were once married into a rich and powerful family. You know you can't do whatever you want sometimes.

How could she not know? She also knew Evan and her were just chess pieces on the chessboard.

Avery and Logan were at the South Gate of Cambola City. Avery was trembling all over. She didn't know it was because of the wind or the news.

Avery swayed from left to right. She saw sheer darkness before her eyes. She almost couldn't stay upright in the wind.

Avery tried to be stable. But she couldn't. She was about to fall down when her arm was held by someone.

"I told you so. You and Evan are not right for each other. The second you are brought to Cambola City, he asks the princess to marry him. Is he in such a hurry?"

Avery withdrew her hands without a trace.

"Don't stir things up between Evan and me. Not everyone is like you."

"I never marry anyone except you."

"Just shut up," Avery had such a serious headache. She just wanted to finish the loose ends in Cambola City and got back to see what was going on.

"Sir, about waking up, mom..."

Avery planned to discuss with Logan about how to wake up her mother. But Logan just gave her a plain look. He showed no interest in continuing the topic.

Avery was frozen on the spot.

"He wants to own your mother himself," Andrew said, standing next to Avery with the walking stick.

Logan's obsessiveness to Olivia was transparent. Even Avery had a small chance to take Olivia away.

Avery was frustrated. She wanted to leave the second. But she couldn't leave her month alone. But since Molly sent someone to hurry Logan, he couldn't stay long.

The horseshoes came from far away. Andrew and Avery both looked at the direction.

"Jessica!" Avery recognized her at once, "what's she doing here? Do you ask her to come here?"

"Jessica!" Andrew already walked to her.

"Andrew?" Jessica got down from the horseback. She rode with Matilda. Jessica saw Andrew, forgot she was still on the horse, jumped down, and fell on the ground.

Jessica gasped. Even Andrew could feel the pain. He hurried to help her up.

"What are you doing, jumping?"

"I'm too excited to see you," Jessica noticed the walking stick, "what happened to your leg?"

"It's nothing," Andrew helped to slap the dust off her, "aren't you..."

"I ran away."

"Why do you come here?" Andrew looked at Matilda behind Jessica's back. She was a teenager of 17 or 18. She had sandy skin. She stared at Andrew with curiosity like he was a difficult question.

"This is Matilda Owen. She's from Cambola City. She takes me here.

Jessica didn't tell Andrew why she came to Cambola City. If she told Andrew, it was because of James. Andrew would stop her.

James's betrayal made him the first enemy of the Clifford family.

Although Jessica hated Andrew, she just couldn't let him die.

"Avery? Why is she everywhere I go?" Jessica squinted at Avery, "wasn't your wedding with her spoiled?"

"Mind your own business."

Jessica stayed in Cambola City. Jones notified them the ceremony to wake Olivia up was scheduled after three days.

Cambola City made great preparations these three days, and it sank into an ecstatic state.

Olivia had been sleeping for dozens of years. They held the ceremony every year to wake her up. But they failed every time.

But this year would be different. The medicine that was prepared would be one hundred days after three days. They would take it to her.

So the audience could witness the spectacle of holy virgin waking up as well as the magic of the wonder medicine that had hundreds of years of history.

Avery spent the next three days in anxiety.

After three days, i.e., the evening of the ceremony, the yelling of a servant was echoed throughout the city.

"Murder!"

Avery got really tight. Murder? Who was murdered? The ceremony was about to begin. Who dared to kill?

The evening glory lights the city. Jones took soldiers to surround the entire guest section. Everyone that heard the news came out of the room.

"Mr. Jones, what happened?" Andrew walked over to Avery. He got so uneasy hearing the news. But he was relieved seeing Avery was okay.

"My son is murdered! You all have suspicions!" Jones was outrageous.

Ran was killed? Avery was surprised. Jones only had Ran, the son. Who would do such a horrible thing?

Andrew and Avery looked at each other. They soon learned their situation.

This is Cambola City. This is Jones's turf.

Jones was red in his eye sockets. He was grieved at his son's death.

"When you come here, we extend the greatest welcome. But who could think we invited a wolf to the house and got my son killed? I want them all arrested!"

Andrew whispered.

"I'll cover for you while you run to the medicine room. There's a car waiting. If I didn't turn up, leave on your own. "

Avery nodded. She knew there was no way out if she stayed behind. After Ran was gone, Jones wouldn't let them go.

Jones's men pulled out the daggers. Dozens of them surrounded Avery and Andrew. Andrew put Avery behind his back and pointed at them with his walking stick.

This was the only arm he had.

"Sir, she's only a pregnant woman. Please don't hurt her."

"Can't a pregnant woman kill? Arrest them all! Leave no one !"

"Lord, I'm the daughter of the holy virgin. If she woke up, she'd blame you," Avery had to use her mother as the shield. Her status in Cambola City was quite serious. It might stop Jones.

Jones hesitated. But the loud booming came from afar. Then everyone felt the quake...
