Upon hearing these words, the color drained from Avery’s face.

“If you dare utter one more word of nonsense, I’ll have you dragged out this instant!”

“Avery, everything I’ve said is true! Why won’t you believe me but instead trust an outsider? After all, we are cousins! Doesn’t our years of relationship count for something? Does it not outweigh someone you’ve just met recently? I’m already in this state; what reason do I have to lie?”

Phoebe’s tears fell uncontrollably, as if she had been wronged to the extreme.

Avery didn’t believe a single word. “Neera would never take the initiative to hurt anyone. Even if she did, it must be because you did something, Phoebe. Now, I’m really curious: What exactly did you do to push her to this extent?”

As he spoke, he suddenly advanced step by step, his gaze sharp and cold.

Taken aback, Phoebe stepped back, a hint of evasion in her eyes.

After a few seconds, she feigned bitterness, crying as she revealed the “truth.”

“I-I was just worried about you. The thought of you out there, facing danger at any moment, kept me awake at night. I felt so useless, unable to help you. That was why, after much thought, I-I steeled myself, took a risk, and hired people from Freo Market, hoping to send them to assist you. But before they left, I wanted to test whether Neera’s feelings for you were true, so I sent them to her first to see how many people she has around her and whether she was genuinely helping you.

You shouldn’t trust her!” Phoebe accused vehemently, her voice hoarse with

emotion.

that woman claimed to be committed to the Cox family and promised to lend you all her skilled people to assist you. But what was the reality? She kept all the truly skilled ones by her side. Even when she goes out for a stroll, she always has them close. She doesn’t care about your life or death at all! After the incident, she even sent her people to break into our home, drugging everyone unconscious so that they could do as they pleased and commit all sorts of atrocities! She simply doesn’t respect our family! Besides, the experts around her are quite suspicious. How could she possibly have so many skilled people by her side? There must be something fishy! Rumors were circulating before that she was getting close to the

Estate for her. On the surface, she’s still the ninth elder of Bartitsu Guild, but she’s been colluding with Lordsworth Estate behind the scenes! Avery, wake
