Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 447
Advertisement
Avery had been living in the presidential palace, which was under Rebecca's control. Even if Avery was angry, she knew the situation she was facing, and that it was not wise to do so in the presidential palace.
Even if Avery was fully prepared, it was possible to trap herself in, so that the gains were not worth the loss.
Avery also felt that it's not worth taking revenge on Rebecca at the cost of her own life.
So she has been secretly waiting for the opportunity. In the name of helping Rebecca prepare for the wedding, she came here.
Of course, she also guessed that Rebecca had set traps for her.
In any case, she had two purposes today. One was to let Andrew take Jessica away, and the other was to let Rebecca suffer a little bit.
As for who would win between her and Rebecca, it depended on who was more capable.
Thinking about it, Avery turned the red beryl ring in her hand, which had an imperfect crack.
When Avery had come back from Cambola City, she had intended to contact Emily's father to see if there was a way to repair it. Emily's father was an old craftsman in the industry, and there might be a way to repair it.
Although she intended to return the ring to Charles, it might be useful today.
When Avery went out of the bathroom, Rebecca and Evan were sitting on the leather sofa and did not rush to pick a wedding dress.
The manager of the wedding dress store stood aside with a smile.
Even if he didn't know Evan, he knew he couldn't afford to offend him.
This was not only because he has seen all kinds of people, but because the guests of the wedding dress store were either rich or noble.

As soon as Evan entered the door, the manager felt that he was respectable. More importantly, Evan was followed by more than a dozen bodyguards.
This was the first time the manager has seen such a person.
At this time, Evan leaned on the sofa, overlapping his slender legs and pointing on the limited Patek Emerald watch on his wrist. His thin nails knocked on the surface of the watch. The manager was sad to see it because the watch was worth more than 30 million.
"I'll give you ten minutes. I don't want to see anyone but the clerks here."
When the manager heard that, he looked stunned and finally understood the meaning, "Since you have chosen our brand, you may understand the position of our wedding dress store. Every guest coming to the store is very noble. It is really bad to offend them."
Feeling that the man's look fell on him like a dormant lion, the manager's forehead and back were already covered with sweat.
He would not have wanted to disobey Evan's orders. As he said, the people who came to this store were rich businessmen or noble politicians, and no one could afford to offend them.
The five-story wedding dress store was very large, and guests were not as many as in malls.
Basically, the guests who came to the store went shopping separately, and there would be no influence on each other.
But the guest in front of him ordered the court, which would offend all the other guests. How could he do business?
However, Evan was not satisfied with the manager's explanation and uttered a few words in a cold and frightening tone that made people tremble.
"There are seven minutes left."
The manager, "..."
Seeing that the manager was not responding, Evan squinted, "Seven minutes are not a short time. If you want my men to do it, they can smash your store in five minutes. Do you believe it?"

As soon as the manager heard this, his face turned pale and quickly said, "Mr. Howel, may I make a phone call to ask our boss?"
"There are six minutes left."
"I'll invite the other guests out."
Then the manager came to the side and quickly dialed a number, "Boss, there is a guest here asking for a site-clearing."
"Do as he said."
"..."
The boss's reaction made the manager confused, but he still invited other guests who were complaining out. The huge wedding dress store was cleared, leaving only a few of them.
When the other guests were sent out, the manager wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurried to Avery and Rebecca, "Which lady wants to try on her wedding dress, please?"
Rebecca narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the guests who had been invited out one by one with evil eyes.
She knew that Evan did that to protect Avery. The more he wanted to protect the woman, the more she wanted to crush the protection.
"Miss?"
Rebecca suddenly regained her mind, "Yes, I'm going to get married, but the two of them can try nice dresses, too."
With that, she turned to Avery and Jessica and said, "Anyway, you have to wear a dress to attend the wedding. Why don't you choose one and let them customize it?"
Avery just shrugged her shoulders, and Jessica said yes. Then the two people whispered while watching sample pictures of dresses. Suddenly Jessica said, "Avery, is the ring your wedding ring? Why didn't I just find out you had it? This should be red beryl. This color is so pure."
Just now, Avery's ring-wearing hand had been blocked by the sample pictures. So it's normal for Jessica not to see it.
Evan looked at them and took a special look at the ring. He was, of course, familiar with the ring. He had proposed to give it back to Charles, but unexpectedly the ring had been taken away by the woman.
If it had been before, he would have cared if she had worn a ring from another man, but now he thought perhaps it was a self-defense device because he remembered that she had stabbed his chest with a needle hidden in the ring.
Rebecca walked to the mannequin not far away, pointed to the wedding dress, and asked him, "Evan, what do you think of this one?"
Evan looked up at it and did not speak.
Avery looked down her direction and nodded gently, "Well, it's nice."
She had to say that Rebecca was certainly so smart that she knew what she was suitable for and what she wanted.
Unfortunately, Rebecca was scheming, mean, and cruel.
If she hadn't been so scheming, Avery would probably like her with the friendliness she showed, not to mention that they were cousins anyway.
The store manager graciously went to the mannequin to take off the wedding dress and was suddenly stopped by Rebecca, "Wait, I think the two dresses next to this wedding dress are also beautiful. Avery, Jessica, do you want to try them, too?"

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
