A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Treat Her as Your Sister

Avery had always been a person who could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force, and he hated being threatened the most.

He was enraged, and he said to Darlene in a low voice, “Go back to your ward.”

Darlene did not want to stay here any longer. Andrew had raised her, so she would not argue with him.

She knew very well that no matter if it was Andrew or Avery, they had been fooled by Vivian all these years.

Teresa was aware of this, but she had gone.

Darlene turned around and walked towards the elevator, wanting to go downstairs to buy breakfast.

Behind her was Avery’s cold voice. “Grandpa, you can let the board of directors remove my position as president and take back my shares. As long as the board of directors and shareholders have no objections, don’t worry, I will fully cooperate.”

Andrew was so angry that he knocked the cane on the ground a few times. “Bastard! You’re crazy!

“Darlene is trying to ruin you! Before your grandmother passed away, she gave twenty percent of the Gallard Group’s shares to Darlene! It is worth more than dozens of

billions of dollars! Your grandmother must have been threatened by Darlene!

“Darlene is an outsider! Her living in our house can only bring us bad luck! Today, it will

be confirmed. She wants to grab everything you have!”

Darlene walked to the elevator entrance. Those words were all heard by her. She

clenched her fists and felt everything she did before was pointless.

After so many years, the Gallard family still treated her like a thief.

Avery frowned in displeasure. “She had already given me Grandma’s shares. Grandpa, you can go to look up the shareholder list.”

Andrew said coldly, “This is her scheme. She has a plan. Now that she is married to you, one day she will ask you to give her everything that belongs to our family!”

“Grandpa, that’s enough. Darlene is now my wife.” Avery’s voice became gloomy.

Avery said, “As for Ms. Sheridan, she helped me and the Gallard family. I will remember that. If I find out that those things really have nothing to do with her, I will never pursue this matter again. Nothing will ever happen between me and her.”

Vivian still had tears in her eyes. She said in a soft and anxious voice, “Avery, don’t worry. During those two years when I wasn’t around, it was Ms. Garcia who took good care of you. Now that you fall in love with her, I can understand.

“Avery, if you choose Ms. Garcia, I can quit. I won’t have any complaints. I only hope

that I can stay by your side as a friend or your sister.”

“Vivian, you’re a good girl.” Andrew looked at Vivian and felt well–disposed.

Andrew said to Avery, “The photos you received may be fake. Since there is not enough evidence to prove that it was Vivian who did it, if you leave her now, you own her that.”

There was a trace of sarcasm in Avery’s voice. “Anyway, let’s find out. I hope that Ms. Sheridan is really innocent. Then I will apologize to her.”

Vivian said softly, “Avery, I don’t need you to apologize. You can trust me. I don’t have any relatives or friends. As long as you can trust me, I can do anything.”

Andrew said, “Fine. There is no complete evidence of the truth, but the fact that Vivian

saved you is true.

“She was hurt during those two years, and she suffered a lot these days because you didn’t trust her during this period of time. The psychologist said that she was having a

nervous breakdown.

“She has no one to rely on since she returned to the country, and she feels scared to live alone. Just treat her as a sister and let her live in Scenery Villa.”

Avery wanted to refuse. He thought of how Darlene had always been cold to him recently. Perhaps if he had Vivian by his side, Darlene could care about him more

because of this.

Moreover, if Vivian had ulterior motives, he might be able to get more proof.

He did not say anything and acquiesced.

Vivian revealed a smile, “Thank you, Avery. Don’t worry. I will definitely not cause you

and Ms. Garcia any trouble.”

Andrew said, “I heard that the Gallard Group’s film company is preparing to film a new movie recently. Vivian is interested.

“She is young. It is also the time when she needs more experience. You should help her fight for the female lead. Just give the role to her.”

Avery did not hesitate this time and refused coldly. “No.”

That movie was adapted from a comic, and that comic was Darlene’s famous work three years ago.

Although Vivian was quite popular recently, he still hoped to discuss with Darlene about choosing the female lead.

Andrew said, “Avery, you should know that there are still many things that I have the final say.” Andrew lowered his voice a little.

“Although you get the Gallard Group, I have some prestige in the company. If I make a request, there will be many old shareholders in the company to support me. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to deal with them.”

Avery’s expression was gloomy, and he did not respond for a moment.

Andrew took a step closer and continued, “Many of the biggest business partners who are close to the Gallard Group are also my best friends. I don’t want to go against you.

“But you should also be clear that when it comes to that, you may not be able to gain many advantages. Vivian is an orphan. You should take care of her. I only have this one request.”

Avery was silent for a long time. In the end, he felt that there was no need to go against Andrew for such a small matter. It was just a movie, and even if Vivian became the

female lead, it would not affect him much.

Avery responded, “Fine. But Grandpa, you really shouldn’t meddle in my affairs.”

Vivian heaved a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Avery. I will definitely do well and not

disappoint you.”

Andrew did not stay any longer and left after settling the matter. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Darlene had just bought something and went upstairs. Avery’s bodyguards were still by her side. The corridor was empty.

She entered the ward and pushed the door open. She heard Vivian’s voice. “Avery, as

long as I can be by your side, I am not afraid of anything…”

Darlene felt sick. Out of courtesy, she forcefully suppressed the desire to vomit and immediately turned around to walk out. “You guys continue. Sorry for disturbing you.”

Avery called out to her in annoyance. “Come here. You’ve been out for so long. Where do you want to go?”

Darlene did not want to stay here. “I still have things to buy.”

Avery gestured for the bodyguards to stop Darlene. “I’ll go shopping with you later. Come here. I have something to discuss with you.”

Darlene turned around and looked at him, sneering, “Are you serious? Don’t you always have the final say on everything?”

Avery did not reply to her. He placed a copy of the contract that Cyrus had just sent on the coffee table. “Do you remember the film copyrights of ‘Star and You‘ that you had previously given to the Gallard Group for free? It has already been three years. It is time to prepare for filming.

“Back then, your request was for Aleena to be the female lead, but she’s just a Z–list actress. I intend to give the role to Vivian. What do you think?”

Darlene narrowed her eyes and turned to look at him. “What did you say?”
