The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 33

Avery stored ot Nino. She osked softly, reveoling how terrified she wos, “Did... Did I do onything thot crossed the line? Did I touch ony mon?”

“I don't know,” soid Nino in o conflicted tone. “When you were drugged, I wosn't with you. Dr. Zeller kept you under control ond osked me to come here.”

Avery noticed something criticol.

Dr. Zeller kept me under control? This meons thot someone colled her for me.

Avery sighed. Clutching her heod, she tried her best to remember. After o long while, she soid, “I remember o mon in the elevotor soying thot he's sending me to the hospitol...”

“Thot's it, then.”

Nino soid, “I wos worried thot someone would toke odvontoge of you, so I colled thot number. But it wos Dr. Zeller's number!”

When Avery heord Nino's words, she heoved o sigh of relief.

“Is there woter?”

“Yes!” Nino rushed over to pour o gloss of woter ond possed it to Avery.

Then, Nino took some fruits for her.

When Avery lowered her heod ond sow the mossive bonono in front of her, she immediotely blushed...

Perhops it wos o side-effect of the ophrodisioc, but o shomeful imoge surfoced in her mind. It wos Coyden unbuckling his belt ond pulling the zip down...

“I'm not eoting this.” Feeling speechless, Avery pushed the bonono owoy.

Nino immediotely unpeeled it. “If you oren't eoting it, I om. I'm storving!”

Avery wotched in shock os Nino ote the bonono. Another imoge floshed ocross my mind.

“Argh! Give me onother cup of woter!”

Avery thought thot she must hove lost her mind.

Whot on eorth om I thinking obout? It's so vulgor...

With the bonono in her mouth, Nino poured o cup of woter for Avery.

She dronk the woter in one gulp ond colmed down.

“Someone colled the police. Milono ond Zeldo hove been orrested, but I don't know the specifics of the police's investigotion. Now thot you're owoke, I'm ofroid thot the police will come to speok to you soon,” soid Nino.

“They were orrested by the police?”

Avery did not expect thot ot oll.

Horrible incidents, like drugging o womon with ophrodisiocs, were definitely o common sight in Milono's lifestyle. It wos likely thot she would not leove behind ony evidence. Even if there were some clues left behind, the victim would not coll the police out of shome.

Initiolly, Avery wos wondering how to toke revenge on Milono ond Zeldo.

“Why don't you continue sleeping? You don't look very energetic. Luckily you oren't o guy! If you were, you'd be deod from exhoustion!” Afroid thot Avery wos feeling depressed, Nino teosed her. Avery stared at Nina. She asked softly, revealing how terrified she was, “Did... Did I do anything that crossed the line? Did I touch any man?”

“I don't know,” said Nina in a conflicted tone. “When you were drugged, I wasn't with you. Dr. Zeller kept you under control and asked me to come here.”

Avery noticed something critical.

Dr. Zeller kept me under control? This means that someone called her for me.

Avery sighed. Clutching her head, she tried her best to remember. After a long while, she said, “I remember a man in the elevator saying that he's sending me to the hospital...”

“That's it, then.”

Nina said, “I was worried that someone would take advantage of you, so I called that number. But it

was Dr. Zeller's number!”

When Avery heard Nina's words, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Is there water?”

“Yes!” Nina rushed over to pour a glass of water and passed it to Avery.

Then, Nina took some fruits for her.

When Avery lowered her head and saw the massive banana in front of her, she immediately blushed...

Perhaps it was a side-effect of the aphrodisiac, but a shameful image surfaced in her mind. It was Cayden unbuckling his belt and pulling the zip down...

“I'm not eating this.” Feeling speechless, Avery pushed the banana away.

Nina immediately unpeeled it. “If you aren't eating it, I am. I'm starving!”

Avery watched in shock as Nina ate the banana. Another image flashed across my mind.

“Argh! Give me another cup of water!”

Avery thought that she must have lost her mind.

What on earth am I thinking about? It's so vulgar...

With the banana in her mouth, Nina poured a cup of water for Avery.

She drank the water in one gulp and calmed down.

“Someone called the police. Milana and Zelda have been arrested, but I don't know the specifics of the police's investigation. Now that you're awake, I'm afraid that the police will come to speak to you soon,” said Nina.

“They were arrested by the police?”

Avery did not expect that at all.

Horrible incidents, like drugging a woman with aphrodisiacs, were definitely a common sight in Milana's lifestyle. It was likely that she would not leave behind any evidence. Even if there were some clues left behind, the victim would not call the police out of shame.

Initially, Avery was wondering how to take revenge on Milana and Zelda.

“Why don't you continue sleeping? You don't look very energetic. Luckily you aren't a guy! If you were, you'd be dead from exhaustion!” Afraid that Avery was feeling depressed, Nina teased her.

Avery was rendered speechless.

At that moment, someone walked over. They could hear a familiar voice saying thanks. As it was a higher-grade ward, the surroundings were much more tranquil, and they could hear any sounds.

“Mr. Rumpley?” Nina glanced at Avery, who was evidently stunned. She could tell that it was

Leonardo's voice.

Avery decided to get out of bed. It had been ages since she had last seen her father.

However, after she took one step, her body felt very weird.

“What's wrong?” asked Nina worriedly when she saw Avery stopping in her tracks. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Avery was so embarrassed that she could not say anything.

Indeed! If I were a guy, I would've died from exhaustion...

However, there was no time for her to bathe and change into a new pair of underwear.

Leonardo had already entered the hospital ward. Henrietta followed behind him.

“You're awake, Ery.” Leonardo felt relieved when he saw that his daughter was awake.

Suppressing the feeling of bitterness that surfaced within her after seeing Leonardo, she glanced at Henrietta. “Why haven't you been arrested by the police too?” She refused to believe that Henrietta was oblivious to everything.

Feeling embarrassed, Henrietta tugged at Leonardo's shirt.

He sighed and walked over. Gesturing for Avery to sit, he said carefully, “Ery, don't talk to this like that to her. She's your elder, after all.”

Avery immediately felt disappointed.

Anyone would have thought that Henrietta was his original wife and Milana was his biological daughter. On the other hand, she had been picked off the streets.

“I'm relieved now that you're fine.” Leonardo's face was filled with wrinkles, and there was a frown on his forehead. Patting Avery's thin shoulders, he hesitated before saying, “Henrietta spoils Milana. Those friends she's been hanging out with influenced her badly, resulting in her personality. Deep down, she's not a bad person!”

Standing at the side, Nina was filled with disbelief when she understood Leonardo's implicit message.

Avery scoffed coldly. “I'm sure that the police will deal with it professionally. The good will be awarded, and the bad will be punished. I'm not capable enough to teach the police their job.”

Henrietta protested indignantly after hearing that, “Aren't you fine now? Are you missing a limb? Even though Milana is at fault, you shouldn't be so ruthless. Do you want to destroy Milana?”

Sounding like she was on the verge of crying, Henrietta asked, “What should we do, Leonardo?”

Avery watched expressionlessly as Henrietta placed the blame on her instead.

“We only live once. Why should I show mercy to her and suffer? It's not like we are born differently!” With that, Avery grabbed the pile of clothes beside the bed. “I'm going to bathe. If there's nothing else, you can go home.”

“What did I do wrong to have been married into the Rumpleys? I ended up being entangled with such an unfilial girl like you! Even though I came to plead with you, you turned me away so ruthlessly!” scolded Henrietta furiously.

Avery entered the bathroom, turned on the showerhead, and stood underneath it.

The sounds of the water drowned the furious yelling outside.

While peeling an apple, Nina mocked Henrietta, “Stop making such a huge ruckus here! You're so unreasonable! If you continue yelling, your veins might explode, and you'll just die on the spot.”

In the end, she chased Henrietta out.

After that, Leonardo left too.

Before dinner, Nina's parents also summoned her back too. Although Avery was in a bad mood, she realized that after she went all out, her life became much more comfortable.

At six in the evening, her phone rang.

Avery was still wearing her clothes. Although she was stunned when she saw the number, she still picked up the call.

She did not say anything.

Cayden's deep voice rang out. “Are you in the hospital ward alone?”

“I... I'm not alone...”

For some reason, she had a feeling that Cayden would come over if she was alone.

However, she knew that she was overestimating herself by thinking that.

“Really?” His voice sounded so clear that it did not seem like he was talking to her through the phone. He continued calmly, “If there are others there, it'll be appropriate for me to come. If you're alone, I won't enter. It's not good for a man and woman to be alone together.”

The door of the hospital ward opened.

Avery turned around in shock. A man wearing a suit suddenly walked in.

On the other hand, she had not finished wearing her clothes yet. Her perky breasts heaved every time she took a breath, which would easily catch one's attention.

Did I just bury my own grave?
