Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 514
Advertisement
Avery screamed, and Evan reached out to save Olivia. Luckily, Olivia fell to the other side of the water reservoir. If she fell into the reservoir, it's hard to imagine what would happen.
After Olivia stabilized, she stood up again with the power of Evan and then leaned against the iron door along the edge.
Avery took a deep breath, followed her mother's footsteps, and walked carefully.
The three soon clung to the edge of the wall on the right side of the iron gate. Outside, the bodyguard was still crawling forward tenaciously. Evan shot him directly in the head.
"Don't look", Evan told them that the scene was too bloody, and he reminded them to open the door later.
Evan had just watched the bodyguard press the switch, so he naturally knew where the switch was. They didn't hesitate to open the iron door. As the iron door rose, the outside world completely appeared in front of them.
There were dense plants outside. The sun shone down from the seams of the trees.
Not far from the ground, the bodyguard was lying in the blood.
Olivia could not help screaming. Avery reached over and blindfolded her eyes, and Evan blindfolded her eyes.
She took his hand away and said, "I'm fine."
Suddenly, the bushes began to rustle, as if someone was hiding in it.
"Who's in there?" At the same time, Evan and Avery took out their guns and aimed at the bushes alertly.
There was a burst of applause in the bushes.
A tall figure riding a brown horse went out.
It's Logan.
How could he be here?
"The palace is full of my men, and you think you can really escape?" Logan was sitting on horseback, "But I have to admit that you are brave enough."

"Logan, that's enough. We don't want to stay here. What you did will really make you happy?"
"When you're gone, I'm the only one left. Will I be happy?
Avery clenched her fist. She expected that the escape would fail, but even if she failed, she would convey their determination that they didn't want to stay in the presidential palace.
"Take them away." Under the command of Logan, there was no room for discussion.
Hundreds of soldiers with guns immediately surrounded them. Evan held Avery's hand tightly.
"I'm afraid we'll have to go back with them." Said Evan in a low voice.
It's impossible for them not to go with them, so Avery gnawed her teeth and said, "We..."
Olivia suddenly stood in front of them, "Logan, I will marry you if you let them go."
Avery looked up in surprise, and murmured, "Mom."
"Let's go back first. I'll send them back later." When Logan said this, he was satisfied and proud.
"Mom?" Avery did not understand the situation. Hearing Logan promise to let them go, she was not joyful but worried. She knew her mother was in despair.
Olivia was pale, but when she turned around, she had a smiling face and took Avery's hand, "I'll stay here. I'm sorry. I didn't talk to you earlier. Logan promised that if I marry him, he will let you go. I'm so selfish."
"Mom, stop it. I understand."
Avery knew that her mother did not want to stay here and did not want to be with Logan and that she preferred to run out with them rather than marry Logan.
"If I knew that the secret passage was so dangerous, I wouldn't do this. Forgive me. Forgive me for being so selfish. Avery, I'm sorry." Olivia hugged Avery, burst into tears, and felt guilty. If there were something wrong, Olivia would probably not want to live.

"Mom, it's not your fault. If you don't want to stay here, I..." Avery wanted to say that she would find a way to take her back if she had the opportunity. If she didn't have, Gabrielle would help her.
But Avery stopped when she thought that Logan was still here.
Olivia wiped her tears and glanced at Evan next to her, "Don't think I'll look at you differently. If you are not nice to Avery when you go back, I'll go over there and take her away from you."
"Will you have the chance?" Evan said with a sneer.
"Mom, what are you saying? We are not leaving now." Avery reminded her.
Olivia seemed to say good-bye to them.
Olivia probably understood the meaning of Avery, glared at Logan, and asked, "When can you let them go?"
"After we get a marriage certificate."
Logan was afraid that Olivia would go back on her words after they left.
"How about getting a marriage certificate today?" Olivia thought about it and said, "How about a few days later? Then you can stay a few more days."
"..."
Avery was embarrassed. She wanted to spend a few more days with her mother, but there was no time, "Mom, one of my friends is going to have surgery, so I probably have to go back as soon as possible."
Hearing Avery's words, Evan's face darkened in an instant and grabbed Avery's wrist, "You're in such a hurry to get back for him?"
Charles, who had helped her escape from Evan's side, has always existed in Avery's heart.
A soldier took a black horse and handed it to Evan. Olivia was taken on the horse's back by Logan. The two rode on the same horse and marched in front of Avery and Evan.
Evan hugged Avery on the horse's back and darkened his face all the way. Avery knew what he was thinking and poked him in the face, tenderly, "Are you angry?"
Evan glanced at her, ignoring her.
As Evan ignored her, Avery leaned against his solid chest, smiled, and said, "Do you know you have a lot of rivals in love now?"
Evan still didn't speak, so Avery said in a low voice, "Don't be jealous."
Then she asked, "In fact, there is only one rival from beginning to end. Do you know who it is?"

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
