Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 567

"Dear me, dear me, Avery. It looks like you are still nowhere near as important to Adolf as Albert, even though you've been working together for so long. After all, Albert is his brother whereas you, you're just a tool for him to earn some money," Zed suddenly said to Avery in a sarcastic tone.

"Zed, stop it." Avery's face had turned pale and she was really horrified to hear Zed say these things right in front of Adolf. "Adolf has always been nice to me. Though he might lose his temper sometimes, we are still good friends," she explained in a hurry.

"That's enough. You both stop it." Adolf interrupted her with a serious expression on his face before she could even finish her sentence. Then he turned towards Zed and remarked in a displeased tone, "Mr. Qi, no matter how I treat the celebrity that I'm in charge of, it's none of your business."

"Right. Adolf, are you enraged now?" Zed lifted the corner of his lips and sarcastically asked, "And what's that you said? Celebrity? To you, Avery is still just a celebrity while she herself is calling you a friend. Adolf, it isn't very fair, is it?"

"What do you want?" Adolf angrily roared as he looked at Zed with a flame of rage burning in his eyes. "What are you here for? Are you really here to pick up Avery to see your wife? Are you really here to see if I'm mistreating her?"

As he became more and more furious, his voice got louder and louder.

"Shh..." Zed reminded him to be quiet and put on a smile, an even calmer one this time. "Are you going to let Avery leave with us since you already know what we are here for?"

"Of course not!" Adolf sneered at once. He stared into Zed's eyes and added in a cold tone, "Even if I need to break the contract, I won't allow Avery to get in touch with you guys any more. I am doing it for her own good so that she doesn't listen to you guys and get angry with Albert and me."

"Adolf, I'm not displeased with you," Avery hurriedly tried to control the situation as she explained in an anxious voice. "I'm just tired. I'm really, really tired. It's been three years since I became a celebrity and I've been working so hard from that time. What's more, my schedule has always been so tight. I kept going on and shooting for movies, and TV series and what not. I haven't even rested for one day in those three years.

Adolf, please, let me have a rest, alright? I was too tired and I didn't have a good rest. That's why I'm sick now and end up in the hospital this time. I promise that I'll just rest for three days. Three days later, I'll do whatever you ask me to."

Avery pledged a promise to him as she stared at Adolf's serious face. She really did look poor and sick right now.

The air seemed to have solidified. The atmosphere was unsettlingly quiet and embarrassing.

Zed and Moore turned towards Avery as they were stunned to hear that she hadn't had a single day of rest in three years.

How terrible!

She was not a robot. She was a human!

Even a robot needed to be well maintained and given some moments to recover from wear and tear.

"Adolf." Moore broke the silence suddenly as he felt sorry for Avery and angry with Adolf. "I'm Avery's classmate. We didn't have much friendly interaction at that time but I used to teach her Chinese. We lost touch with each other ever since we graduated and this is the first time we have met in four years.

But when hearing Avery plead you so hard just for three days of vacation, I feel so sad. She's not a robot. She can be tired. When she is busy, you will definitely be busy as well. Don't you feel tired? Don't you feel sorry for her on hearing her words?

I'm really grieved to hear that and I pity her. She used to be such an optimistic girl. And look what tiredness and a busy schedule has done to her now! She is an exquisite celebrity in public. But no one knows how much pain she is bearing in private. If you really want to do what's good for her, please take good care of her and let her have enough rest."

"Moore." Avery hadn't expected that he would speak out for her and she stopped just at his name. Her throat was sour and tears were lingering in her eyes.

Seeing her pale face, Moore reached out his hand and tapped her shoulder. "Don't worry. It doesn't matter whether Adolf agrees with us or not, you're coming with us tonight. We'll help you get some rest, food, and sleep."
