Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 531
Advertisement
It was natural to make a comparison between Diana and Avery because both of them got close to Evan.
Grandma picked up Avery's gift package first. After having a glance over it, she wasn't interested in it and even and even wanted to put it away and turned to Diana's gift, Maureen Fletcher whispered to her, "Grandma, we can have a look. All in all, I believed that I believed that Avery must make efforts to prepare for it."
Grandma would have planned to give Avery a chance to make full preparation, but she had never expected that Diana did such a good job.
However, when Avery heard Maureen's suggestion, she wasn't happy with it because she knew Maureen didn't want to help her. Instead, Maureen just wanted to make a comparison between Diana's gift and Avery's.
No comparison, no difference, so there is no hurt.
Avery had expected that Diana must prepare a perfect gift, but she had never believed that Diana made a lot of effort so that she lost all that weight.
Still, Avery tried to calm down though everyone laughed at her.
Then Avery had a glance over Maureen. She still had short hair, thin lips, and a pair of long eyes. All of a sudden, Maureen found Avery stared at her, so she looked back calmly and joyfully.
Grandma opened Avery's gift package. As expected, it was a delicate Hetian jade bracelet carved white gold on edge.
"It seems that it is the limited edition bracelet made by D.O. I hadn't gotten it even if I had waited for one month."
"It is worth millions."
"But you can't buy it even if you can afford it."
"So what? It is just a bracelet."
Grandma agreed with the man, "It was just a bracelet." She had more than dozens of bracelets, so she just put the bracelet back with disdain.

"Grandma, look at this one," Maureen gave a sign to a maid, and then the maid put the gift before grandma.
Grandma unloosened the ribbon effortlessly. As soon as she opened the box, everyone couldn't help make an exclamation:
"Beautiful!"
"Is this embroidered? How wonderful it is."
Hearing the praise from the crowds, Maureen was extremely pleased.
Some people even tried to move forward and look at the gift, saying, "Is it a handmade gift by Diana? No wonder that her mother said Diana took a lot of pains to prepare this gift. It is a perfect cheongsam. If you ask me to make such a beautiful Cheongsam, I must be blind, not to mention lose weight."
When the rich women heard that Diana made the cheongsam, they were amazed, "Does Diana make it? Marvelous! How talented she is! It is the best gift, I think."
"I envy. How lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law! I want it."
"It's my pleasure," Diana said with a smile. Although everyone was praising her, she was still elegant and humble.
"It is good. Make a gift. Rather than buying a gift."
"That's right. We are all envious of having such a good gift."
Avery said nothing still. She didn't care about what people praised.
At that time, a man said, "When have you learned to make a cheongsam from Abbie Veronica?"
According to the voice, Avery turned to look at the man. It turned out to be Sophie Johnson.
Sophie was the CEO of D.O. and Byran's mother.
Diana was surprised to hear someone mention Sophie Johnson, but Maureen arrogantly answered for Diana, "Who is Abbie Veronica? Diana must do a better job than her when it comes to the embroidery technique. If Diana focuses on this area, she must be the No.1."

Sophie walked forward and looked at it carefully, saying, "The cheongsam is made in the same method with my friend Abbie Veronica. We have known each other for so many years. I am familiar with her method. As you can see, the full-fashioned kitting method is the same as my friend's method."
Diana became a little bit embarrassed; however, Maureen directly pushed Sophie's hand away, growling, "It is normal to find the method they conducted. If you don't have any evidence, you shouldn't defame Diana. What a bad man!"
Grandma was unhappy too, but she said one sentence because Sophie was a powerful woman in the City, "Mrs. Johnson has lived in the B Country for many years. Now that you are very interested in the cheongsam, later, I can ask Diana to show the technique before you."
"All right. I indeed like the technique very much, but I think that today is a suitable time," Sophie answered while she secretly winked at Avery.
Avery had not met Sophie for a long time. I was surprised to see her at grandma's birthday party.
"Is she trying to give me a hand?" Avery thought to herself.
"Doing embroidery is not an easy thing. We need time to do it."
Hearing that, Sophie smiled and pointed at the last step for making a cheongsam, "Abbie Veronica has her way to make the last step. Unlike others who like to put the thread within another thread, Abbie likes to choose the thread whose color is close to the clothes to knit. Moreover, she is accustomed to embroidering her name in the neckline. Please look at it."
Sophie showed the neckline to others. It was true that there was the name of Abbie Veronica.
"It is true…"
"Diana does not make it, but she pretended to make a lot of effort to do it. She is not honest."
"Yeah. Why did Diana lie to us?"
Diana, however, kept smiling, "I have never said I made it."
The crowds were shocked as if they realized something. Diana was right. She didn't mention it, but the groups assumed she made it.
Grandma was very embarrassed and said hurriedly, "All right, I love the gift no matter if Diana made it or not. Forget about it."
Sophie shook the head, saying, "Do you think the bracelet is just a limited edition from D.O?"

The Pokemon Ranger
Summoned from his unjust suffering in the mundane world, Spike finds himself before Arceus, who opts to send him to the world of Pokemon with the request to assist in maintaining the world's harmony. Afterwards, Arceus sends him off with the egg of a Riolu who will be his partner along the journey. Next thing he knows, he wakes up with a headache in the body of a five-year-old boy in the middle of a forest in Hoenn. Thus begins the journey of a Pokemon Ranger who will come to be feared by those hiding in the dark of the Pokemon world.____________________________________________________________Author Note:Please keep in mind that this is an AU (Alternate Universe). I will be taking aspects of the Pokemon world that I find to be the most fun and enjoyable and editing some things as I see fit. The world will contain some elements and characters from the anime, manga, and games, but it will also have some original characters and a mostly original storyline. It will not go fully grimdark like some gritty parts of the manga or some more realistic fanfictions, but also won’t be all sunshine and roses like the games. Overall, I do want to keep the story on the lighthearted side, but there will be some more serious plots as well. About 90% taking the story seriously and 10% wish fulfillment, I suppose. Note: I am also posting this fanfiction on Webnovel. No difference on release times for chapters.Also, as an update because of the people who messaged me about the multiple transmigrators, the existence of other transmigrators won't have much, if any, affect on the main plotline (or the harem if that's what those people are worried about). There will only be a handful of interactions with a few of the transmigrators during some of the more dangerous scenarios I have planned. I don't expect this to change anybody's mind, but thought it was worth mentioning. Also, I edited the first chapter to make this more obvious.Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or speak for GameFreak, Nintendo, or Pokemon. I'm just a fan having some fun in his free time.

Life in another world with an Immunity System
NOTE: I just finished a large scale editing with the chapters. From now on, the world is no longer a 1000X Earth. I have added my original element. From here on, with a few exceptions, no similarity can be found with our Earth. Thank you. The change has been applied from chapter 1. So if anyone finds any missed places or traces of my previous world-building, please comment and notify me. Andel lived in a world where those with powers will have the final say in everything. In his world, having no aptitude to either magic or Ki means you are even worse than ants. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any aptitude to either. His life should have been hell, but due to being the son of two powerful parents and descendant of a powerful family saved him from a wretched fate. Life was harsh, but Andel wasn’t one to mourn and do nothing. From his childhood, he learned all kinds of close-combat styles and martial arts, proving himself to be a genius at close combat as long as ki isn’t involved. As genius as he was, there was no way he could match those with powers, right? Wrong! Andel had another identity. He was originally a person from Earth who got transmigrated after an accident. Moreover, during his transmigration, he also gained a system that gave him resistance to various things in exchange for experience points. With the Immunity System in hand, Andel decided to finally step into this magical new world and make a name for himself, after spending twenty years in training.

Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
