In the General Hospital's VIP ward, an old man was roaring angrily as a tall man walked out of the door.
Jeffrey slammed the table and exclaimed, “Cayden, you unfilial trash!”
Although he heard his grandfather's bellowing, Cayden was unperturbed and kept walking.
At first, nobody cared about Avery and Dylan's marriage. But now, it had become the center of attention because of Nicole.
Having just slept with Avery in his arms last night, Cayden was enraged to see her and Dylan's marriage certificate shown by numerous major news outlets.
Yellow dried leaves that were scattered on the road outside the hospital gave the city a more desolate feel. On the side of the road was a black Bentley. When Xavier spotted his boss, he hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for the latter.
Then, Xavier got back into the car and started the engine. After the car left the hospital, Xavier reported to Cayden, who was staring at his phone while frowning in the back seat, “I've told the relevant parties to take care of it, so the news will soon be removed.”
Seeing that Cayden didn't respond after hearing what he said, Xavier stopped talking as he knew that Cayden was not interested in other matters for the time being.
It was evident that Cayden was in misery, knowing that the woman he loved had married another man.
To make matters worse, the whole world also knew about it, even though it was only a marriage by contract.
As the car was moving on the road, a person in charge of the public relations department of a certain website sent a message to Xavier: We're sorry, Mr. Dartsley. We are dealing with it as quickly as we can. Please inform Mr. Moore.
Meanwhile, Lily and Kendrick arrived at the hospital early in the morning and followed Allie to the ward.
Seeing those faces made Jeffrey annoyed.
“Dad, where's Cayden?” asked Allie as she couldn't see him anywhere.
It turned out that Jeffrey had conspired with the doctor beforehand. He wanted the doctor to tell the rest that his condition was very serious and that he couldn't be saved. However, with an embarrassed look, the doctor said he was cured and in excellent health. When Jeffrey was about to bribe the doctor, he was caught in the act by Cayden, who had rushed back from town early in the morning and heard everything.
As such, there was a grim expression on the old man's face, and he refused to say a word.
“Just say something, Dad. You've already seen the news early in the morning. If you don't stop Cayden now, I'm afraid he will soon be involved in the entertainment industry's scandals.” Allie knew that she couldn't put a leash on her son, so she asked Jeffrey for help.
Jeffrey was starting to get a headache from hearing her yapping. Impatient, he waved his hand and said helplessly, “Just let me get discharged from the hospital and stop bothering me...”
Seeing that Jeffrey was about to get out of bed to proceed with the discharge procedures, Lily quickly urged Kendrick to hold him down. “You're not fully recovered, Dad. What are you doing?”
Kendrick chimed in, “Please lie down, Grandpa. If Cayden's here, he won't let you leave the hospital so soon either.”
Jeffrey was the elder of their family, so they couldn't let anything happen to him.
Jeffrey couldn't help but sigh. If Cayden were here, I would be so embarrassed. To think that an esteemed person like me pretended to be sick.
Seeing that Jeffrey had calmed down, Allie asked again, “Dad, did Cayden...”
“Don't bring him up anymore. I believe that... Cough cough... Cayden... knows what he's doing...” Jeffrey said weakly while coughing.
“Stop asking, Allie! You're making his condition worse!” Lily couldn't take it anymore. After all, her father-in-law, who used to be spirited and lively, couldn't stop coughing now.
Meanwhile, Milana was at a bar in Ackleton, which she frequented.
Since the bar was owned by Dylan, he only allowed regular customers to enter. On top of that, even the new ones were only allowed after being introduced by the regulars, so there was no need to worry about people with ulterior motives entering.
The waiter knew that Milana had something going on with his boss, so he let her in.
When Milana went upstairs, she saw that Dylan had just woken up.
Seeing that Dylan was wearing his shirt, Milana quickly went over to help. “Let me help you.”
As her soft hands were buttoning the man's shirt, she quickly took the opportunity to touch the man's sexy and muscular chest, seducing him.
“Just tell me what you want. I'm not interested in you.”
Dylan knew better than to get in bed with the woman who had just threatened him.
As Milana observed Dylan's expression, she knew that he was really not into her and said, “You know that I'm jobless, and those other jobs aren't suitable for me because I'm an impatient woman. I hope that you can help me since I've made you feel good so many times. Besides, I'm Avery's sister.”
Dylan had poured himself a glass of water. However, he paused after he heard what she said. Then, he turned to look at her with knitted brows. “Help you? How?”
Milana immediately replied with gleaming eyes, “Could you help me enter the entertainment industry? There are rumors on the internet saying that you are Nicole's benefactor, so I gave it some thought. The crime you committed five years ago was so serious, and yet, you didn't get sentenced to life imprisonment and even got released after only five years. That only means only thing—you must have a lot of power.”
Milana reckoned that Dylan learned how to keep a low profile and not reveal his background easily after being in prison.
Moreover, Nicole became the lead actress in a movie directed by a famous director when she had just debuted and gained high popularity all over the world. Because of that, she had the opportunity to attend major international film festivals and walk the red carpet. All that could only have happened if Nicole had someone powerful helping her.
“I don't need you to make me as popular as Nicole. After all, I know where I stand...” Milana leaned forward and rubbed her soft chest against Dylan's back. She continued, “I just want to make a living. I don't mind being the supporting actress...”
At the same time, Anna was scrolling through her phone while working as she wanted to check out the latest gossip. However, she suddenly realized that the relevant content had disappeared.
She couldn't find anything about the news no matter how hard she searched for it.
“What's going on? The content that I searched violated the laws and regulations? I can't even search for the word 'Avery' anymore!”
Hearing Anna's complaints, Avery stopped typing on the keyboard in trepidation. She hurriedly picked up her phone and tried searching for the news too.
She found out that nothing came up when she searched the internet for the names of the people involved in the incident.
Everything had disappeared without a trace.
Instantly, the incident stopped trending on the internet.
The strangest thing was that she had even violated the laws and regulations just by searching for the word 'Avery.'
