Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 565

Avery looked at Moore with a beautiful smile. She had never imagined that the day Moore would be gentle to her would come so soon. "Okay, I know. Don't worry too much about me." She gave Moore one last reassuring smile before she turned to look at Adolf. She knew that she must confront him today, so after taking a deep breath and mustering up the courage, she walked firmly and slowly toward him.

Zed and Moore were closely following Avery in order to protect her if either of the men in front of them ever raised a hand on her or verbally abused her. The three of them stood in front of Adolf at the same time.

Adolf eyed Avery with his sharp eyes. Then, he turned his head to look at both Zed and Moore. He looked them up and down before finally fixing his eyes on Zed. He smirked and mocked, "Mr. Qi, it's already midnight. Shouldn't you be sleeping at you home now? Also, what are you still doing here with Avery? Aren't you afraid that your wife will be jealous because you're here and not with her?"

"Avery is my friend, so it's normal for me to visit my friend, isn't it? Besides, I came here with Moore, so you may rest assured that my wife will not be jealous. But I am not sure how my wife would react to any of your concern."

A firm smile formed on Zed's face after replying to Adolf.

Adolf raised an eyebrow in disdain and snorted. "Is that so? It seems like you have married a good wife."

"Of course, I have a great wife. No one can outmatch her. Besides, she's my wife. I have a huge confidence with her and so does she about me, so don't worry about this, Adolf." Zed didn't care about Adolf's rudeness. He had other problems besides that. He then looked sharply at Albert, who was standing by Adolf's side, and then asked Adolf without turning his gaze away from Albert, "How about you, Adolf? Just like you said, it's already midnight. Shouldn't you too be sleeping in your place as well? Or is it because that you knew we will visit Avery tonight, so you specially came here to meet us?"

Albert stopped Zed impatiently and pretended to be angry. "That's totally nonsense! You'd better frankly tell us where you want to take Avery to in this time of the night!"

Eyes opened wide, both Avery and Moore turned to Albert and were astonished by his words.

Several hours ago, Albert came to their house to persuade them to take Avery out from the hospital. But now, he seemed to stand on Adolf's side and speak for him as if everything hadn't happened. Obviously, it was all his trick and deceit. They had not expected that he was such a despicable man.

Zed knew that there was some bad atmosphere in Albert, and he was right about it now. He couldn't help casting a deep look at him. Although he looked almost the same as Adolf, he was not mentally strong enough compared to Adolf.

No wonder although they were twins, he still served under Adolf and was so scared of him.

'Now that you dared to play a trick on me, don't ever feel regret for what you had done, ' Zed thought to himself.

Then he looked at Albert with a look of sympathy on his face and asked, "Albert, why are you asking us that? You told us to come to the hospital by midnight to pick up Avery. You said that Avery had been badly scolded by Adolf, and that we should take Avery out of the hospital, so that she could escape from the cruelty of him, didn't you? What's more, it was you who had deliberately distracted the bodyguards at the door. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to take Avery out."

Zed pretended to feel puzzled about Albert's behavior. He stared at Albert with a frown of confusion.

Albert didn't expect that Zed would question him and expose his trick in front of Adolf. He felt very guilty and was afraid that Adolf would believe Zed's words, so he stole a glance at Adolf quickly. After seeing that Adolf didn't look angry because of Zed's words and looked as if trying to decipher the truth, he became more bold and sneered, "Mr. Qi, do you forget that you are a CEO? How can you say such words to slander me?

Why should I help all of you to take Avery out? I don't gain anything if I do so. Besides, both Avery and Adolf are the closest people around me. How can I be so cruel to separate them? Plus, Adolf has always treated Avery very well. Frankly speaking, I even feel a little bit jealous of her sometimes. So, who told you that Adolf had badly scolded Avery? It's totally nonsense!"

There was astonishment and anger on Albert's face as he said these words, but he tried hard to conceal his emotion.

Hearing Albert's words, Zed couldn't help but admire his nerve.

'Now that he dares to play this trick in front of Adolf, he has absolute certainty that he can make Avery and Adolf turn against each other.

It seems that he is a dark and vicious man. I have underestimated him, and he is absolutely not as coward and incompetent as he looks.

He almost got away with it just now. What a cunning man!' Zed thought, impressed at how Albert still could keep up his deceit.
