Chapter 355- All Teeth Were Knocked Out
The conversation between the two children remained silent for a while.
Leila thought about the task her mother had assigned and pretended to be disappointed, saying, “Oh, yes, my cheap dad was quite
poor.”
She turned and smiled, looking at Avery’s daughter with an envious expression, and praised, Fernanda, your dad is so amazing! Did he buy you these red, pink, and blue little stones?”
“My uncle said that these small stones could be exchanged for many, many candies,”
Could pebbles be exchanged for candies?
Avery’s daughter curiously asked what kind of small stone it was. Leila quickly reached for her necklace and pointed to the ruby in the middle, saying, “It’s this kind. Did your dad buy one for you and your mom?”
The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then continued, “He didn’t buy one for me and Mom, but I did see Dad give one to my aunt. However, her necklace didn’t have this small stone of yours.”
Leila, who caught the important information, brightened her eyes and said, “Wow! So your dad was really nice to your aunt.”
Hmm, my dad was the best dad in
the world. When my mom was on a business trip, he even helped my aunt take a bath.
As soon as the child finished speaking, he heard an incredulous voice of a woman, breaking down, “Fernanda, what did you say? What helping your aunt take a bath? What did dad do when mom was on a business trip?”
“That Fernanda, I have something to do, so I’m leaving. I gave you this necklace, you can take it and exchange it for candy to eat.”
Leila placed the million–dollar ruby necklace on the sofa and just like that, she gave it away. Jaxon and Joshua, who had been standing guard at the door, quickly took he
away. Under the protection of the bodyguard, the three children swiftly returned to
Hazel’s residence.
Leila patted her chest and said, “That
was
close, that was close.”
Curiously, she asked Jaxon, who was carefully pinning a small bunny brooch on her clothes, “Brother, why does Fernanda’s dad help her aunt take a bath? She’s a little baby, can’t she bathe by herself?”
Jaxon shook his head, “I don’t know either, but our dad wouldn’t help Auntie take a bath.”
Joshua handed Leila a small water bottle and reminded her to drink water. He cleverly said, “I know, that’s how it’s portrayed in TV dramas. Fernanda’s dad is the villainous bad guy…”
At this very moment, Jaxon turned off the little device that was transmitting real–time recordings.
The audio abruptly stopped in this sentence.
The air in the meeting room seemed to have frozen, and everyone’s gaze fell on the disheveled Avery on the ground. No one spoke again, and a deathly silence enveloped the surroundings.
Hazel’s fingertips lightly tapped on the table, and everyone’s attention was drawn to the sound.
“Avery, is there anything else you need to explain?”
A man who portrayed an image of frugality and devotion to his wife and daughter every day, all the lies were shattered at this
moment.
Hazel reminded him, “Gathering evidence was just a matter of time.”
The aura emanating from her overwhelmed Avery, making it hard for him to breathe. He lowered his head and suddenly started laughing, the sound gradually getting louder and louder, until the entire space was filled with his laughter.
“Explanation? Ha, why should I explain? Wasn’t I also involved in this project? I was one of the researchers too, so why can’t I use
this data?”
“Yes, you did give us a raise, and it was more than ten times higher than the salary at other research institutes, but that was fifty million! Do you know how difficult it is for an ordinary person to earn fifty million, and how long it takes?”
68.4%

“Prof. Robinson, you prepared the house for us, but we have to wait for 10 years at the research base before it can be fully transferred to us. Isn’t this just a show? Why can’t you simply give us the house? Wasn’t it initially promised to us that a house would be arranged for us?”
Avery’s words immediately sparked anger among the other colleagues.

“Avery, have you lost your mind? Do you know how expensive houses in Seattle are? Just one can cost millions. Living for free for ten years, and after ten years the house still belongs to you. What’s the difference between that and a gift?”
“And as for the spot for Fernanda to attend school, if it weren’t for Prof. Robinson’s help, do you think your child would be able to study at such a good school in Seattle given your situation? Don’t act like you’re not responsible and don’t sow the seeds of trouble for your child.”
Hazel, once again struck by human thoughts, sat silently in her seat, listening to Avery’s complaints.
Time passed slowly, and others worried that Avery’s speech would affect their subsequent benefits. They quickly stepped forward to express their opinions, but Avery wouldn’t listen to anyone.
Because in his heart, he believed he was not wrong!
At this moment, the door of the conference room was forcefully pushed open from the outside, accompanied by Avery’s wife’s calm yet angry voice, and she directly hit his head with an ashtray.
Everyone looked at each other, and they waited until she finished venting before stepping in to mediate.
“Avery, we are still in the period of our marriage now, even if you sue me, it would at most be considered a family dispute. Let me tell you, if you
dare to cheat on me, I dare to make sure you won’t see the sun tomorrow!”
No one had expected that the usually well–mannered woman would become so furious.
At that time, Avery’s face was covered in blood, and several of his teeth had been knocked out by his wife. He was shouting loudly, demanding that his wife be sent to jail, his voice filled with anger.
Hazel would have already had the meeting room surveillance cut off, he had no evidence, he could only say that others had seen it.
-But when officials asked others, everyone said they were unclear about what had happened, and unanimously stated that Avery was
behaving like he suddenly fell ill, unrelated to any woman.
The incident of the data leak in the “Artificial Womb” biological project has come to a close.
Avery has also confessed to his own actions.
The person was taken away by the authorities.
When the woman came over to give a ruby necklace, Hazel was swinging on the swing with her daughter. She glanced at the necklace in the box and smiled, saying, “Since it’s a gift from a child to a child, I’ll accept it.”
“This won’t do, this necklace is too valuable, we cannot accept it.”
The swing had stopped, and Leila sat on it, swinging her little feet. Innocently and purely, she said, “Auntie, this is what I gave to Fernanda. Take it and exchange it for candy for Fernanda to eat.”
Hazel also comforted with a smile, “Accept it, it’s a child’s heartfelt gift.”
“Thank you,” the woman tightly held the box in her hand, her voice slightly choked.
I saw that she did not leave.
Hazel saw the woman hesitating and not knowing how to speak, understanding her concerns.
She took the initiative to speak up, Don’t worry, there won’t be any changes to the house and Fernanda’s school because of Avery’s
situation.”
“But it was necessary to wait for Fernanda to come of age before transferring it to her name.”
This is also to prevent Avery from coming out later and taking half of the house through the marriage relationship.
