"Avery, your jewelry today is also sponsored by Grant. You need to be careful, 'Time Legend' isn't cheap. If you lose it, you might really have to pledge yourself to Beckett Wright."
Angela Scott said to Avery with a smile, but there was an unknown jealousy in her eyes.
She probed Avery's intentions, wanting to see how Avery felt about Beckett. Avery should already have a relationship with Joshua Hughes; she couldn't possibly be with one and lead the other on, could she?
"Scott, you really love to joke. How could I ever deserve him? I've been married before." Avery lowered her head in melancholy. She wasn't just married; she had also become the mistress of the most powerful man.
Mistress was a courteous title. As Joshua Hughes had put it, she was merely a bedfellow, or worse, a vessel for his strong desires.
Thinking of this made her feel so bitter that she found it hard to go on living.
Even now, her body still bore the traces of his wild abandon from last night.
