The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 207

What happened? Why does searching the word 'Avery' violate the laws and regulations?

Just when Avery was feeling confused, a group of colleagues saw a black Bentley driving toward the yard entrance, with two other luxury cars following behind it.

The leading black car kicked up a cloud of dust since it was the countryside. Despite that, its domineering number plate was impossible for others to ignore.

All the employees who came to the countryside on the work trip stood up again. They secretly put their phones down on the table as they looked at the people who got out of the cars with serious expressions.

Xavier was the person who got out of the car first.

Then, he immediately walked toward Avery.

Avery also rose to her feet. Before she could stop her thoughts about the uproar on the internet, Xavier came to her and said, “Ms. Rumpley, Mr. Moore wants to see you.”

However, Avery stood rooted to the spot.

Cayden's in the car too. Why didn't he get out of the car?

Sensing Avery's concerns, Xavier explained, “There's no need to worry. He just wants to talk about work matters.”

Suddenly, Avery saw two people get out of the third car that was parked at the yard entrance. They were the company's higher-ups.

The two higher-ups went to find Christopher and Anna, who were stationed in the town. After the two parties exchanged a few words, Christopher and Anna quickly packed up their laptops and cameras before getting into the car with the higher-ups.

It looks like Cayden is really here for work matters! It's just that... it's only been a few hours since last night. Isn't it tiring for him to go back and forth between Ackleton and the town just to give orders to everyone?

“I'll come right away.” Having said that, Avery hurriedly packed her laptop.

In Ackleton, Dylan's phone rang as he was being pestered by Milana.

When he saw the phone number on the screen, Dylan impatiently answered the call. “Why are you calling me?”

Nicole's arrogant and disdainful voice sounded from the speakers. “Why? To talk about the incident, of course! Who did you ask for help? The news stopped trending so quickly.”

“Stopped trending?” Dylan didn't know what had happened because he had just woken up.

“That's right. The topic is nowhere to be found on the internet now. This must be someone's doing! My agent also said that searching your wife's name on the internet is considered to be violating the laws and regulations.”

As such, Nicole was certain that Dylan was the one behind it.

However, seeing that Avery had better treatment than her, Nicole became upset and furious.

After hearing Nicole's words, Dylan knitted his brows even more. He insisted that he wasn't the one who did it while he lit a cigarette and smoked impatiently.

“Is it... Nicole?” Milana could vaguely guess the identity of the caller from Dylan's words.

Glaring at Milana with a vicious look in his eyes, Dylan pointed at her with his fingers holding the cigarette and shouted, “Shut up!”

That caused Milana's face to turn pale.

On the other end of the line, Nicole didn't care who Dylan was talking to. She promptly ended the call after hearing that Dylan wasn't the person who resolved the matter.

Meanwhile, the luxury caravan that Nicole was in drove slowly into a mansion. The entire road near the mansion was heavily guarded.

Before Nicole got out of the car, she turned around and stopped her agent from getting down. “There's no need for you to come in today. I want to spend time alone with my mom.”

The agent didn't get out of the car because she knew that she was not a smooth-talker, so she continued smoking while raising her hand to signal the driver to leave.

After the caravan left, Nicole stood at the door and tidied herself up. She took off one of the high heels that she had worn all the way and held it in her hand. Then, she entered the mansion looking as if she had sprained her ankle.

Claire was watching a show on TV. Through the window, she saw her daughter returning with a limping leg. Immediately, she put down her coffee and went over to help Nicole. “What happened to you, Nicole?” asked Claire.

“It's nothing. I just sprained my ankle.” When Nicole sat down on the couch, she lowered her head and looked as if she was in pain.

“The high heels that you wear are too high. I have to meet your agent and discuss this with her. It's just an opening ceremony. You don't have to be so hard on yourself. I know that you're not used to wearing high heels, so take a few pairs of flats with you when you leave tonight,” Claire said worriedly.

Nicole suddenly sobbed and wrapped her arms around Claire's neck. She looked as if she was about to cry and said, “Mom, I missed you...”

Claire felt touched and quickly patted Nicole's head. “Why are you acting like a kid when you're all grown up? I saw today's news. It's not easy to be in the entertainment industry nowadays. If you're tired, just stop being an actress and come home.”

“But... that's your dream, Mom. I just want to help you complete what you couldn't accomplish when you were younger...” said Nicole.

Claire was at a loss for words.

Her heart ached the moment she remembered her past.

She once dreamed of becoming a great actress who performed in classic dramas. However, before she could realize her dream, she met her husband, William, who came from a family with a military background. Unfortunately, the Lambert family did not approve of Claire's plan to be an actress.

That was why she gave up on her dream. After that, Claire longed for something else. She hoped that she and her husband could have their own child. Alas, things did not go their way.

Luckily, we adopted an obedient and sensible child ten years ago. Nicole has never disappointed me all these years.

“Mom, all the news articles about the incident have disappeared. Did Dad get someone to remove them?” Nicole was curious. If it wasn't Dylan who did it, it must have been her father.

Otherwise, nobody could have done it.

After all, William had a reputation to maintain since he was the state secretary.

After Claire told the housekeeper to apply ointment to Nicole's foot, she said to her daughter, “Your father is still in a meeting in Beshya, so he probably doesn't know about it yet.”

Nicole furrowed her eyebrows and wondered, Who was behind it then?

She lowered her head and quickly typed a message on WhatsApp before sending it to Dylan: I won't feel at ease as long as I don't know who resolved this matter. Please find a way for me to meet your wife. The sooner, the better.

Back in the town, after Xavier guided her into the car, Avery felt a domineering aura, which made her shudder. She put down her computer bag and couldn't help but glance at the man beside her.

Cayden wore an expensive and elegant suit while sitting in an upright posture. He wasn't wearing a tie, so his prominent collarbone and his sexy Adam's apple were exposed.

There wasn't any expression on Cayden's cold and handsome face while his thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.

Avery thought to herself, Did he see the news too?
