Avery clearly felt the scorching touch and her heart stopped for a moment. The next second, she used all her strength to push the man off her in an instant. As Ethan's body fell backwards, his head hit the cabinet behind him. In that moment, his confused mind suddenly became clear and he felt a splitting headache. His eyebrows furrowed tightly. Seeing this, Avery quickly went over and asked, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"
No matter what, he had only acted out of being set up. If her push had ruined the future of the Lu family, then her grandparents' hard work would also be in vain... Just as she was thinking about this, a scream suddenly came from behind her along with the sound of the door being kicked open. "Xiao Qian, something bad has happened, what do we do..."
"Sister, calm down and tell me what happened?"
Avery quickly got up and looked at her sister . Was there anything more troublesome than what had just happened to Ethan?
"They... they..." Alexis' face turned pale and her trembling finger pointed to the door. Her once rosy lips had lost their color. Before she could finish her sentence, the door was kicked open with a loud bang and a cacophony of screams followed. "You wicked girl, what are you doing!"
"How could you do this to your sister? Alexis is your sister, and Mr. Blackwood is her brother-in-law. How could you do this to your sister and put her in his bed..."
When Avery turned around and saw the faces of the newcomers, Harrison and Victoria ,she suddenly felt that they were extremely ugly.
They must have heard the news quickly and rushed over to see this scene. They probably thought that she had set a trap for Ethan, making him sleep with her sister. With their minds, they must have thought that Ethan was unattractive, and that she couldn't bear their biased treatment, so she wanted her sister to be defiled as well. But the truth was, she didn't do it.
"I didn't do it," she said, trying to explain.
To Avery's surprise, the newcomers were not only her parents. A group of guests also quickly rushed over from the hall and formed a mini audience.
"Is it true? Did the young miss of the Wells family really do such a thing?"
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes? I said she went out in a hurry and came back in a hurry, there must be something going on..."
"Shocking! The young miss of the Wells family actually sent her own sister to her husband's bed. This is definitely the most explosive news in the capital!"
"That's right, that's Ethan Blackwood we're talking about. They say he's unattractive, but I think he looks pretty good. How could the young miss bear to do that?" "Good-looking? You go and see for yourself. I heard that the half of Gu San Ye's face that's covered by a mask can scare your soul away..."
"Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. My cousin went to see him a month ago because she admired his reputation, but she was scared away. She's still hiding at home and afraid to go out now..."
Among the guests were respected CEOs from the business world, young ladies and noblewomen from high society, as well as journalists from various media outlets in the capital city. They crowded around the door, catching sight of Alexis' disheveled dress and Avery's flushed face as she struggled with Ethan by the bed.Sharp comments and whispers poured into the ears of the few people in the room. Alexis stood beside them, pale-faced and clutching her unbuttoned collar, trying to explain to everyone.
"It wasn't her"
"Who else could it be? How can you still speak up for this freeloader at a time like this?" Her mother was so angry that she stepped forward and slapped Alexis in the face.
Then she glared at Avery and said fiercely, "Mom knows you're mad at us for having you, but we had no choice. How could you drag your sister down in a fit of jealousy?"
"It wasn't me, I swear" Averiface turned pale as she tried to defend herself.
Harrison sneered, "It wasn't you? Then was it me or your mother?"
"Who knows?"
Avery's heart shattered at his words, and she couldn't help but retort,
"You can send me, your third daughter, away, since you've already done this disgusting thing. Sending my sister away would just be in line with your usual style, wouldn't it?"
"Ungrateful wretch! You're really asking for it!"
Harry cared a lot about his reputation. He couldn't bear to be insulted in front of so many people by Avery.Despite having one wrist in a cast, he still had his other hand. After shouting in anger, he raised his healthy hand and struck at Avery. Looking atThe man lying on the bed she simply couldn't take it, she protected her sister, and looked angrily at her parents. "Dad, Mom, it wasn't Avery's fault. You blamed her wrongly. Also, don't always push the blame onto her whenever something happens. She and I are both your daughters!"
"Is she our daughter? She's just a white-eyed wolf who came to collect debts!" Harrison was originally feeling sorry for his eldest daughter, but when he heard her say this, he was so angry that his veins bulged on his forehead.
"Alright, dear, don't say anything more. Look at what you've done to Alexis," Victoria felt sorry for her eldest daughter and tried to calm her husband down. She quickly went to her side and gently touched her daughter's swollen cheek.
"Alexis, don't blame us. We're just worried about you. Why are you so foolish? You were harmed by this girl, and yet you still talked to her. If she had half of your kindness, she wouldn't have done this to you..."
At this moment, Avery listened to her mother's words and laughed in despair.
She calmed down and looked at her .
"I've said it before, I didn't do it."
