Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 746
Advertisement
Maeve was applying a facial mask at the time. When she heard Avery was coming, she hurriedly took off the mask and let the makeup artist help her make up.
It was an hour later when she was dressed up, and she came down from the stairs, "Avery, it's late. Can I help you?"
"It's about white worms."
"As I have said before, it is clear that the white worm is a scarce creature of our country. It's left for the people in our country for generations, and I do not want the white worm to die out in my hands."
This explanation was reasonable, and Avery agreed with what Maeve said. After all, the requirement of the living environment of white worms was extremely high. If white worms were really extinct, it would be a pity for human beings. Avery also didn't want white worms to die out.
But out of selfishness, she could not wait for her baby to die.
"Can we try again? After this time, whatever the outcome is, we respect your decision."
��Really? As you know, the little baby cannot be cured by one treatment."
"I understand." Avery bit her lips. She had no other way, although she didn't want to accept her destiny.
"But why should I help you?"
Avery raised her head. Indeed, Maeve didn't have an obligation to save the baby, so this was why Avery came to her.
"What do you want?"
Maeve kept silent for a moment, and she raised her extremely delicate eyebrows.
"I heard Mr. Lautner, and you were in a relationship?"
Avery was not surprised that Maeve knew it. Even if Maeve did not hear any gossip, Yuki would tell her.
But it's not beneficial when Maeve mentioned it at this time.
From her obsession with Evan these two days, did Maeve want Evan?
No way. How could Avery give Evan away?
Besides, even if she agreed, Evan would not agree.
Thinking about it, Avery asked, "What do you want?"
Maeve was still on the stairs, looking down at her, "I heard that you were angry when Mr. Lautner invited me to the candlelight dinner by the lake this evening. I know that women are jealous about me, but now that you've married Charles, I hope you won't badger Evan anymore."

If Avery didn't badger Evan, would Maeve save the baby?
Could Avery not do such a simple thing?
Besides, she didn't want to badger him.
She was still angry.
Fortunately, Maeve only knew that there was only a relationship between Mr. Lautner and her. If she knew the truth, she probably wouldn't just put forward such a simple request.
It seemed it's right to keep the distance from Evan.
Avery agreed with her without any hesitation. Avery thought it was over, but Maeve shook her head and said with a meaningful smile, "What I mean is not that simple."
Avery frowned, "You can say it directly."
"How do I know if you will abide by our agreement when you live in the presidential palace? Yuki said you are shrewd."
Avery was not angry but smiled after listening to her words. Maeve was the most outspoken person she has ever met.
"You want my promise?"
Maeve took two steps down the stairs, which was only one step away from her, and said, "I want you to live in the woods."
"In the woods?"
It's full of trees, and it's a place where white worms grew. There were various venomous snakes and beasts.
Avery had been lost when she had gone there during the day. If she lived there, the degree of terror and danger was conceivable.
It's no wonder Maeve made such a simple request. Her ultimate purpose was not that simple.
"If you don't feel relieved that I live in the presidential palace with Mr. Lautner, I can move out of the presidential palace."
"If you don't want to live in the woods, it'll be fine."
"Yes, I want to live here." Avery had no choice. She would do anything for her baby.
"There is a hunting hut where hunters rest here. I'll have it cleaned up."
"When should I move out?"
"Right now."
It seemed that the ban was against Avery.
Maeve was afraid that Avery would take Evan in the woods together?
It was obvious that Maeve wanted Avery to live alone in the woods at night.

Avery stared at her delicate face. Maeve still maintained the elegant posture, but she was definitely not that kind, as Avery thought.
Maeve was mysterious.
It was better not to let Avery know why Maeve was obsessed with Mr. Lautner in a short period of time; otherwise, she would have to take revenge on her.
Avery kept calm as usual, and she said, "It's fine."
"But I don't think it's enough." Maeve suddenly said.
Avery, "..."
This was really the complicated trick Avery has encountered. What else did Maeve want?
At last, Avery was still a little out of control and said with displeasure, "Can you say your conditions at a time?"
"Of course, but I'm afraid not everyone's IQ can keep up with mine. What if you can't understand me when I finish it all at once?"
"I think you don't have to worry about my IQ, and I can understand what you said."
"Is that so?"
Maeve looked like Mr. Black when he was dressed as a woman.
Sure enough, they were brother and sister. Their voices sounded the same.
At this time, Maeve said, "If you cannot do what I said, what's the punishment you should have?"
"I think you have come up with the answer, or you won't ask it."
"You are not as stupid as I thought you were."
"I think it's a compliment."
"If you can't do it, you'll lose the chance to save the little baby with the worms."
Avery smiled and said, "I know my situation, so I have no choice."
Avery was now in the presidential palace of Ancient Country. If Maeve has not been interested in playing with her, perhaps she would let the guards directly kill her.
Even if Avery asked Logan to send troops to attack Ancient Country, it's late.
Before leaving, Avery asked, "Can I watch that movie about the white worms?"
Maeve agreed to her condition because she was in a good mood. She briskly called a servant to take a disc to her.
***
In the quiet and secluded forest, a towering castle became a landscape of the woods.
It's evening. Jessica was brought here, but she fainted because she was too nervous.
James held her all the way into the castle.
At this time, Jessica lay quietly on the bed, her black hair lying flat on the snow-white pillow.
James stood in front of the window. Behind him was a group of famous doctors in all fields. These doctors were called to the castle overnight to examine Jessica.
Among them, there were brain surgeon, physician internist, and psychologist.
"Miss Clifford will wake up tomorrow. Coupled with a lack of sleep, she was stimulated and fainted."
"Besides, Miss Clifford is in very bad health and has not got nutrition for a long time."
All people could see how skinny she was.
James waved his hands and let them out, leaving only the brain surgeon.
The brain surgeon walked quickly and uneasily behind him.
James's slender figure was cast on the glass.
He remembered some of the pieces he recalled in the car and asked, "How do you tell if a person has amnesia? How can one get his memory back?"
The brain surgeon stupefied for a moment and said, "Normally, if a person does not know he has amnesia, he may be hypnotized. Parts of his memory may be lost, so he will not know whether he has amnesia."
After a pause, the brain surgeon saw that James had no doubt and said, "As for how to get back the memory, it depends on the cause of amnesia. If the person who lost his memory is hypnotized, he has to be hypnotized again. There is a risk."
When James heard his words, he suddenly turned around, "What is the risk?"
"Maybe the memory loss will be more serious, or maybe..."

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!
