Chapter 462: Chapter 462
Midnight.
Avery left the hospital and drove back to her villa alone.
In the evening, when Ruby saw the video of Isaac falling from the top of the department store, she was so frightened that her heart stopped beating for a moment and she fainted on the spot. Fortunately, the caregiver discovered it in time and the doctor saved her. After receiving the news, Avery immediately went to visit Ruby and performed a small operation on her. Thanks to her, Ruby’s vital signs stabilized.
However, Ruby could not speak. She looked at Avery with her old eyes, which were filled with sadness and worry.
Avery understood what Ruby was thinking and said, "Grandma, Isaac is fine. There’s a life net downstairs. He fell on it. His body is fine. He just got a shock and needs to rest. "He’ll come and see you after he has a good rest."
Avery paused for a moment and said gently, "Also, I’ve talked to Isaac’s family seriously. They know that they’re wrong and will repent. You don’t have to worry too much about them." Avery knew Ruby had been worrying about Isaac, although she didn’t say it.
After all, Isaac was Ruby’s only child. No mother would give up her children just because they let her down.
In the past few years, Ruby had never mentioned or met Isaac, which was very hard for her.
The reason why Avery comforted Ruby like this was because Ruby didn’t have much time left.
Avery couldn’t let her grandmother leave this world with regret and grief, without her family.
Therefore, when Ruby’s condition was better, Avery would force the Murphy family people to see her and act like filial children.
Along the way, Avery was in a bad mood at the thought of the shamelessness of the Murphy family.
However, at this moment, a sports car and a few small cars blocked her way, forcing her to stop.
The door of the sports car opened and a familiar man got out of the car.
Avery wanted to roll her eyes when she saw the man.
She was surprised that Lucas dared to come to her.
Lucas’s body was a little shaky, and he was holding a wine bottle in his hand. He had probably drunk too much.
As for how Lucas found her, it was possible that Lucas had been waiting for her in this area and recognized her car.
At this moment, Lucas stared at Avery and staggered to the driver’s door. He raised his hand and smashed the wine bottle on the door heavily. He roared, "Avery, get out of the car or I’ll burn your car." Avery did not move and observed him.
Lucas waved his hand.
The dozen or so minions he brought immediately unscrewed the white plastic pot in their hands and poured the gasoline in the Miracle.
It was drenched with gasoline.
Then Lucas pointed at Avery and signaled for her to come out
Avery sneered and thought Lucas was crazy.
Coincidentally, she was not in a good mood and decided to teach him a lesson.
Avery leaned forward and pushed open the passenger door. She got out of the car on the other side and walked to a spot about 10 feet away from Lucas. She interlocked her fingers and cracked her knuckles as she said with a smile, "Lucas, how do you want to die?" "How do I want to die?" Lucas staggered forward and grinned. "I should be the one asking you that!"
He gave vent to his pent-up grievance and anger and roared at Avery, "I’m your fiancé. I’ve pursued you wholeheartedly for three whole years. Why did you lie to me?
"We could have been the happiest couple in the world, but you ruined everything..."
Tears fell from his eyes as he continued, "Back then, the Harper family was the richest in Rosemont City. I didn’t want your money. We could have signed a prenup. Why did you hide your true identity from me? "If you didn’t, my family wouldn’t have forced me to break up with you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt his vision blur as he received an inexplicable punch to his chin. It was so painful that his face tilted and his jaw almost fell off. He staggered and fell to the ground. Avery rushed forward and stepped between his legs.
Lucas screamed. His body curled up into a ball and he trembled in pain, unable to get up.
Avery’s movements were too fast to be seen, and those hooligans were stunned, watching helplessly as Lucas was crippled by Avery.
She said, "I’m a combat expert. You’re with so few people. Even if you have more, I can easily knock you guys down." Avery kicked Lucas heavily. "Well, I’m a reasonable person. I don’t like fighting."
"Since you come to me and choose to pick on me on a road with no one around, I won’t be easy on you."
With that, Avery turned around and walked towards the nearest burly man. She threw an uppercut punch at his chin.
The burly man instinctively decided to fight back.
However, it was useless.
Avery’s movements were too fast. Just as the burly man raised his hand, Avery’s fist smashed into his chin. The burly man’s jaw was dislocated and he staggered back. He fell to the ground before he could make a sound. The other hooligans were dumbfounded.
Such a refined young girl was so strong that she could knock down a man with one
punch.
They found it disbelieving.
They thought it should be Avery catching the man off guard because she was too pretty.
"Go!" Lucas roared in a hoarse voice. "After you catch her, she’ll be all yours!"
Under normal circumstances, Lucas would not dare to treat Avery like this tonight.
However, the past two days had been too tragic for him.
He had convinced the Harper family to invest 300 million dollars in the
Murphy family’s building in the east of the city. Now, he had lost all his capital and even caused the share price of the Harper Group to fall to the issue price.
The Harper Group was disappointed in him. He was relieved of his positions in the company and lost his shares. His father even brought back his illegitimate son and prepared to train him.
This meant that Lucas was given up by the Harper family.
In addition, no daughter of a wealthy family was willing to marry him. He had no chance of making a comeback.
As the once high and mighty heir of the richest man in Rosemont City, Lucas couldn’t stand it.
He had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol for the past few days.
It was the same tonight. He met his former friends who mocked him in public. He was greatly agitated and decided to take revenge on Avery.
Hence, he spent money to hire more than ten hooligans with gasoline and wooden sticks and waited for Avery on the way to her home. Finally, he saw Avery.
The hooligans received a lot of money from Lucas. When they saw how beautiful Avery was, they were excited and pounced on her together.
Two minutes later.
The hooligans fell to the ground and wailed in pain. They begged for mercy. "Miss, we were wrong. Please let us go. We’re wrong..."
Avery looked down from above. "Either I break one of your hands or one of your legs. You can choose."
The hooligans cried bitterly. "Please don’t. We’ll turn ourselves in. We’ll compensate, okay..."
"No." Avery said calmly, "Scumbags like you will do evil again. At the very least, I have to break one of your hands or legs to make you remember it for the rest of your lives. In this way, it’s not convenient when you do evil." "Miss, we don’t dare to do this anymore. Please let us off..."
Avery said, "Well, I’ll take it that you choose to give up your third leg."
The hooligans were stunned.
Their expressions changed drastically. "I, I choose my left hand.
"My left leg..."
Most people chose their left or left legs.
Avery walked over one by one and crushed their elbow joints or kneecaps.
In the end, she walked up to Lucas amidst them and said, "It’s your turn."
Lucas curled up into a ball and tried to hide his fear. He shouted fiercely, "Avery, no matter what, I’m from the Harper family. Don’t go too far..."
All of a sudden, he was slapped in the face, and his cheek instantly swelled up.
Avery said calmly, "Lucas, it’s your honor that I beat you up.
"Well, I’ll only beat you up this once. If there’s a next time, I’ll make you vanish from this world."
"You, you..." Lucas wanted to say "don’t you dare", but when he met Avery’s cold and indifferent gaze, he was terrified.
With Avery’s current status, it was easy for her to kill him without others knowing.
A wave of fear swept over him and he yielded. "Left, left hand..."
Avery raised her leg and stomped heavily on his right elbow.
She strengthened her force on his elbow to make him suffer.
Lucas’s entire face was distorted from the pain, and he let out a scream. He felt that his entire right arm was broken.
"I-I’m talking about my left hand..." He said in a hoarse voice, "Y-You stepped on my right hand..."
He was a right-handed person, and now that his right hand was crippled, he was unable to live a normal life.
"I did it on purpose," Avery said calmly. "You are the leader. You must be punished more severely."
After saying that, she did not look at Lucas again. She glanced at everyone and said, "I’m Avery Carter, the boss of the V Group. If you want to take revenge on me or the Carter family, prepared to be exterminated." The hooligans wailed, "We don’t dare. We won’t..."
If they had the guts and ability to take revenge on big shots, they wouldn’t bully a girl for money.
They blamed Lucas for not telling them that they were going to teach Avery a lesson tonight. Otherwise, they would not have dared to agree.
They decided to take revenge on Lucas once they recovered from their injuries.
