Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 499

Evan became cheerful and strode to Avery, "Who told you that I don't like the watch?"
"When we were in the car, you had told me."
"Because it isn't the watch you give me."
Avery lowered her head, smiling, "Don't mind that I give you the same gift as others?"
"I don't mind as long as it is from you," Evan answered and immediately took his watch off.
Then he gave the watch that Avery bought to Avery, saying, "Could you please help me wear it?"
At first, Avery was worried that it would be meaningless if she gave the same watch to Evan. However, Evan only cared about whether to prepare the gift for him or not. Probably, that's the difference between men and women.
When Avery helped Evan wear the watch, Evan found there was a button on one side of the watch and clicked it. Then Avery's voice came out, "Evan Howel, I don't know how to prove I love you. I love you 'till the end of time…"
Avery recorded "I love you" in 83 languages.
Avery was a little embarrassed and then turned off the switch.
Evan touched her face, saying, "I almost miss such a good gift."
Avery was joyful. She now understood that Evan just wanted her love.
"Mrs. Howel, the noodle has been done. Shall I put it on the dish?" Robert rushed up and asked. When he arrived, he happened to see that Evan and Avery held each other, which made him embarrassed.
"Don't have to," Evan glared at Robert and then took Avery away.
"Don't have to? Where are we going?" Avery didn't know what Evan wanted to do, but she had to follow him.
"I had prepared a gift for you," Evan answered with a smile.

"It is your birthday. Why do you send me a gift?"
"You will know the reason soon."
Evan didn't take a driver. On the contrary, he sat on the driver's seat and drove by himself. Avery was pregnant, so Evan drove slowly with opened windows. As soon as the gentle wind blew, they felt extremely comfortable.
Soon, they stopped in front of a big castle.
When a maid heard the voice, she rushed out of the castle, shouting, "Hello, Mr. Howel. Mrs. Howel."
A maid had opened the car door for Avery.
Howel's Castle
"Why does Evan take me here? The gift is in the castle?" Avery asked herself. With these questions in her mind, she followed Evan to the study room.
Evan was more excited than Avery. He can't wait to open the door and hold Avery's hands tight, walking to the desk.
The study room was decorated in Chinese style with a bookshelf that had hollow rectangular lattice. On the bookshelf, there were various books and antiques.
Evan got a square and brown wooden box on the right grid. It was classic and carved with a dragon, smelling like sandalwood. There was a buckle on the box but unlocked.
"What's this?" Avery gave a glance over the box and then looked at Evan, asking.
"According to the size of the box, is it a bracelet?" Avery thought to herself.
"Open it," Evan didn't answer her directly, but he was sure that the woman would like it.
Avery became more curious and nervous. After taking a deep breath, she finally opened the box.
"What's this?" Avery had a close look, but she couldn't figure out what it was. It was empty.
"It is just a box. Why does Evan take me here?" Avery said to herself.

Seeing that, Evan became angry. He grabbed the box and threw it on the desk, shouting, "Call all servants over here."
Robert became serious. He called several servants over here and lined up in two rows. They lowered his head as if something doom was coming.
They knew Evan was outraged. If they did something wrong, they would probably be dead.
"Who came to the study room and touched the thing?"
Evan knew the defense policy of the castle was always strict. With the infrared monitors, as soon as a suspicious person was found, the alarm would sound. However, the alarm didn't sound, and nothing was moved. Therefore, Evan presumed that the suspected person must be the maids.
It was quiet in the study room. No one dared to say a word or raise the head. Since people in the study room were afraid that they would be dead, they all held their breath.
"Say it! Who did touch the things in the bookshelf? I don't want to see the monitor. Tell me. Who. Otherwise, if I find the truth, you all will be punished."
No one answered, still. Even if someone touched, the man wouldn't admit now.
"Get whips," Evan requested seriously.
Several bodyguards got whips, respectively. As soon as Evan gave an order, they started to shake their whips violently. The whip made the servants' clothes broken, and their skin hurt.
Some servants had fainted. Some servants kept mourning.
"All right. If it is not very important, let the servants go," looking at the servants who got severe injuries, Avery held Evan's hands, saying.
"Mr. Howel, it is not our fault," a servant knelt and crawled to Evan, saying, "We didn't take the thing in the box away. It is you who asked us to give it to Miss. Summer."
"Give it to Miss. Summer?"
"You told us that, Miss. Summer didn't feel good, so you decided to give it to her. It is not our fault. You can ask Miss. Summer. We had given the medicine to her."
"Have I ever asked you to give it to her?" Evan became very angry.
Then he strode to the desk and opened the drawer. He found there was the same wooden box in the drawer, but the color was less bright than the box in the bookshelf.
Avery recognized the wooden box, which was for keeping ergotamine.
"What's going on?" Avery walked to Evan and picked the wooden box up, "Miss. Summer didn't use it?"
Evan was angry. He grabbed the wooden box, threw it out. The wooden box smashed to bits, and a small plastic bag fell out. It was a white powder.
"That is to say that Diana didn't eat ergotamine? But she looks very well today. Is it help from the hospital?" Avery asked herself.
"What do you want to give me?" Avery tried to divert Evan's attention and made a look at Robert, showing that the servants should leave; otherwise, one of them would be dead.
The study room was in a mess. All servants were beaten, and there was blood on the ground.
Evan's eyes were full of blood. He turned to Avery, saying, "It's the thing you want to have the most."

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
