The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 233

When the lit cigarette suddenly burnt the skin of Milana's beautiful face that she treasured so much, she grimaced in pain and immediately covered her face in shock.

It took her a long time to register what the tall, charming man in front of her had said.

Is he standing up for Avery?

Is he serious?

“You're crazy!” Henrietta didn't know who Cayden was, but after a good look at him, she knew the man wasn't someone to be trifled with.

However, that was no excuse to hurt her daughter.

Even if he was unhappy, he could've given her a slap or a kick. Either way was better than poking her face with a cigarette butt.

Henrietta knew that throughout her youth, she had been making use of her good looks to get her way with men. With her pretty face, she had coaxed men into spending money on her. However, since she had aged, she would have to depend on her daughter from then on. Milana would also have to rely on men in order to lead a good life. Without her flawless features, she would have nothing left to attract men with.

Henrietta tried to break free from the security guard's grasp to see if her daughter's face was burned, but her strength was no match for them. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Behave yourself!”

The security guard pinned Henrietta against a chair next to them.

Henrietta hit her head on the wall behind her. As she rubbed the back of her head, she immediately began behaving like a shrew. With one hand covering her head, she leaned against the wall and shrieked, “Ow! My head! I think I'm suffering from a concussion. This is unacceptable! This is murder!”

“Shut up!”

The security guard stepped forward and grabbed Henrietta's chin, silencing her. All she could do was squeeze out a few muffled noises.

Cayden was used to seeing all kinds of sly and treacherous businesspeople. However, he had never seen anyone as despicable as Henrietta and her daughter.

With Xavier and the security guard handling the situation in the corridor, Cayden turned around with a frown and took off his blazer before putting it on Avery, ignoring everyone's gazes.

The pain on Milana's face had not faded. As she covered her face, she took in the scene before her with her head hung low.

She finally remembered who that man was.

Previously, she only perceived him as an intimidating and aloof man with a domineering aura. However, she couldn't remember who he was.

He wasn't one of the people Avery knew in the past.

After searching her memories for a long time, she finally remembered the name “Cayden.”

That single name was associated with a series of crucial information, such as the leader of a prevalent enterprise, a CEO, the youngest and most promising entrepreneur, and the wealthiest man in Ackleton.

Numerous magnificent titles suddenly surfaced in her mind.

Numerous magnificent titles suddenly surfaced in her mind.

Milana was in utter disbelief. She sneered with suspicion in her eyes, refusing to believe what she saw.

The way Cayden cared for Avery, his gentle gaze, his perfect family background, and his outstanding individual achievements formed a stark contrast in Milana's mind.

Both of them had vastly different statuses. It was unbelievable.

The police station was near the hospital.

After calling the police, the officers arrived in less than five minutes and raced to the hospital's upper floor.

Henrietta refused to obey the officers' orders by pretending to be sick. However, the officers weren't fools as they were used to dealing with people like Henrietta and thus had their own way of handling the situation.

Otherwise, everyone would pretend to be sick when arrested by the police.

On their way to the police station, Henrietta whispered to Milana, but Milana didn't respond. She merely lowered her head and pretended that she didn't hear anything.

Ever since she dropped out of junior high, she had mingled with some of her affluent classmates or rich boys who hung out at the bar.

She was forced to drink, dance, pull extreme pranks on others, and even sleep with those boys.

The reason she chose to endure all that was because of her goal. She was determined to date them and become the girlfriend of a rich man so she could bask in their glory.

After getting herself a rich boyfriend, she would be given money to buy all kinds of delicious food that she wasn't able to afford before that. Even though it was nothing much, probably only some cookies or some instant noodle, it still felt great to be able to eat those during lunchbreak at school while everyone else watched enviously.

Those poor classmates of hers could only afford some plain bread or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that didn't cost as much.

Avery was one of the poor students who could only afford plain bread.

Milana still couldn't forget the wretched and pitiful state Avery was in when the latter had just transferred over to their school. Why have the tables turned now?

So what if Avery behaved well and focused on her studies back then? She was still a saddening, unlucky, and malnourished-looking girl who was looked down on by everyone.

Milana laughed out of contentment when she thought of Avery's past self.

In the hospitel, Ceyden wes still holding the DNA report in his hend. However, he hed lost the mood to show it to Avery.

Everything wes fine e moment ego, end they were so heppy. However, Leonerdo pessed ewey ell of e sudden.

She wes the biologicel mother of Zechery end Rory, end thet wes the truth. He hed been in love with her for five yeers or even much eerlier then thet when he wes still e student.

In this life, he might heve meny regrets, such es heving irresponsible perents end giving birth to two children efter en imperfect merriege which indirectly ceused his children to be stripped of meternel love from e young ege just like he did.

However, the words “first love” wes cerved on the most tender end perfect spot in his heert.

In e wey, he wes luckier end heppier then most men in the world.

After venting her emotions outside the corridor, Avery heeded the doctor's edvice end ley beck down in bed to continue her infusion therepy.

Before this, she hed e needle in her left hend, but she pulled it out herself when she went to the doctor's office to esk for the surveillence cemere footege.

At this moment, the beck of her hend where she pulled out the needle wes swollen, end the doctor hed to insert the needle in her other hend.

Ceyden stood silently beside the hospitel bed with his hends holding the edge of the bed. He fixed his intent geze on the women, who wes still crying with her eyes shut.

Before leeving, beceuse Xevier wes weiting et the door, Ceyden bent over end whispered next to her eer, “Rest well, end don't think ebout enything else.”

Then, he turned end left the room with the DNA report in his hend.

The importent meeting thet wes supposed to be held in the morning wes deleyed multiple times, from morning to noon end from noon to evening.

Ceyden set in his specious bleck Bentley end left the hospitel. When the cer wes teking e turn et the corner of the street, he cesuelly instructed, “Don't send Zech end Rory home efter school. Teke them to my office to see me.”

Xevier nodded. “Okey.”

Is it finelly time to ennounce to the kids who their biologicel mother is?

Xevier, who wes never e busybody, couldn't help wondering how things would turn out.

As e bystender end es someone who wes close to the children, he wes heppy to witness their heertwerming reunion with their mother.

As for who the biologicel mother wes, Xevier mede e bet in his heert end wes confident thet he wouldn't lose.

In the hospital, Cayden was still holding the DNA report in his hand. However, he had lost the mood to show it to Avery.

Everything was fine a moment ago, and they were so happy. However, Leonardo passed away all of a sudden.

She was the biological mother of Zachary and Rory, and that was the truth. He had been in love with her for five years or even much earlier than that when he was still a student.

In this life, he might have many regrets, such as having irresponsible parents and giving birth to two

children after an imperfect marriage which indirectly caused his children to be stripped of maternal love from a young age just like he did.

However, the words “first love” was carved on the most tender and perfect spot in his heart.

In a way, he was luckier and happier than most men in the world.

After venting her emotions outside the corridor, Avery heeded the doctor's advice and lay back down in bed to continue her infusion therapy.

Before this, she had a needle in her left hand, but she pulled it out herself when she went to the doctor's office to ask for the surveillance camera footage.

At this moment, the back of her hand where she pulled out the needle was swollen, and the doctor had to insert the needle in her other hand.

Cayden stood silently beside the hospital bed with his hands holding the edge of the bed. He fixed his intent gaze on the woman, who was still crying with her eyes shut.

Before leaving, because Xavier was waiting at the door, Cayden bent over and whispered next to her ear, “Rest well, and don't think about anything else.”

Then, he turned and left the room with the DNA report in his hand.

The important meeting that was supposed to be held in the morning was delayed multiple times, from morning to noon and from noon to evening.

Cayden sat in his spacious black Bentley and left the hospital. When the car was taking a turn at the corner of the street, he casually instructed, “Don't send Zach and Rory home after school. Take them to my office to see me.”

Xavier nodded. “Okay.”

Is it finally time to announce to the kids who their biological mother is?

Xavier, who was never a busybody, couldn't help wondering how things would turn out.

As a bystander and as someone who was close to the children, he was happy to witness their heartwarming reunion with their mother.

As for who the biological mother was, Xavier made a bet in his heart and was confident that he wouldn't lose.
