Chapter 567 I Am Just Tired

"Dear me, dear me, Avery. It looks like you are still nowhere near as important to Adolf as Albert, even though you've been working together for so long. After all, Albert is his brother whereas you, you're just a tool for him to earn some money," Zed suddenly said to Avery in a sarcastic tone.

"Zed, stop it." Avery's face had turned pale and she was really horrified to hear Zed say these things right in front of Adolf. "Adolf has always been nice to me. Though he might lose his temper sometimes, we are still good friends," she explained in a hurry.

"That's enough. You both stop it." Adolf interrupted her with a serious expression on his face before she could even finish her sentence. Then he turned towards Zed and remarked in a displeased tone, "Mr. Qi, no matter how I treat the celebrity that I'm in charge of, it's none of your business."

"Right. Adolf, are you enraged now?" Zed lifted the corner of his lips and sarcastically asked, "And what's that you said? Celebrity? To you, Avery is still just a celebrity while she herself is calling you a friend. Adolf, it isn't very fair, is it?"

"What do you want?" Adolf angrily roared as he looked at Zed with a flame of rage burning in his eyes. "What are you here for? Are you really here to pick up Avery to see your wife? Are you really here to see if I'm mistreating her?"

As he became more and more furious, his voice got louder and louder.

"Shh..." Zed reminded him to be quiet and put on a smile, an even calmer one this time. "Are you going to let Avery leave with us since you already know what we are here for?"

"Of course not!" Adolf sneered at once. He stared into Zed's eyes and added in a cold tone, "Even if I need to break the contract, I won't allow Avery to get in touch with you guys any more. I am doing it for her own good so that she doesn't listen to you guys and get angry with Albert and me."

"Adolf, I'm not displeased with you," Avery hurriedly tried to control the situation as she explained in an anxious voice. "I'm just tired. I'm really, really tired. It's been three years since I became a celebrity and I've been working so hard from that time. What's more, my schedule has always been so tight. I kept going

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

said, "Avery, it's not that I don't want to give you three days. It's that you are sick now."

"I'm all right," Avery added in haste.

Adolf was obviously displeased, judging from the frown that came on his face.

"Don't worry about it. We'll take good care of Avery these days and bring her back to the hospital for a check every day. We'll return her to you safe and sound in three days." Zed assured him.

Suddenly, Adolf sneered as he looked up to Zed and asked, "Mr. Qi, why are you being so warmhearted and trying to help Avery? As far as I know, you are not such a warmhearted person. Are you really doing that just for your wife?"

"Yes," Zed replied with a bitter smile. Then he added, "It's known in H City that I don't fear anything except my wife's unhappiness. I want her to be happy no matter what. Now if she wants to get close to Avery, there is no way I am going to prevent her from doing that. I don't have any reason to stop that unless Avery is a man, do I?"

Upon hearing Zed's words, Adolf turned less serious. He sighed, looking at Zed, "It seems that both of us have our own situations to think about. Fine. Take care of her please. And do remember to bring her back safe and sound after three days."

"Adolf." Hearing that Adolf had agreed, Albert was astonished. He got anxious and tried to stop them. "How can you agree to such a preposterous idea? Avery has such a tightly fixed schedule. How can you allow her to leave now for three days?"
