The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 269

Allie sighed deeply. As it was not a good idea for her to lose her temper in front of her grandchildren, she said, “My dears, don't let yourself be fooled by this woman. She's a vixen, and all she does is seduce men. She doesn't possess a kind heart. Be good and come back with Grandma. Your great-grandpa misses you a lot...”

Avery felt as if her heart was being stabbed multiple times. Allie was trying to manipulate the children right in front of her.

Just as Avery was about to open her mouth, Zachary suddenly turned around.

“Grandma, you've gotten prettier since the last time I saw you. You shouldn't get angry or upset. My teacher said that getting upset would make a person grow older. I want you to always stay pretty, Grandma.” Rory used her little fists to massage Allie's leg in an attempt to butter her up. Her words were so sweet that they managed to make Allie smile.

Seeing how filial her granddaughter was, Allie said in a gentler tone, “You're being so sweet, and you know just how to make me feel better. How many pieces of candy have you had?”

Rory held up her fingers adorably and started counting seriously. “One, two, three... Um, I don't remember. I just know I ate a lot.”

“You cheeky little thing! You know how to make me happy.” Allie kissed her granddaughter's cheek, her smile growing wider.

Zachary took a tangerine from the fruit basket, peeled it, and gave it to Allie. “Here, Grandma. This is a tangerine from Jadeborough. It's very sweet. Try it!”

“Good boy, Zach.” Allie took the tangerine, popped a slice in her mouth, and patted his head. She doted a lot on Zachary, who looked a lot like Cayden.

“Grandma, please don't be angry with Mommy. Rory and I wanted to come here. If you want to scold someone, you can scold us. It's all our fault.” Zachary lowered his little head guiltily, looking as though he had done something wrong and was ready to take any punishment from Allie.

Avery was jolted by his words. The bitterness and anger in her heart seemed to have dissipated.

It turned out that her two children were trying so hard to butter Allie up because they did not want her to feel aggrieved.


At that moment, Avery felt overjoyed, yet sad at the same time.

Allie, on the other hand, tried her best to suppress her anger.

I love my grandchildren to death. How can I bear to scold them? But I still can't bring myself to like Avery.

Suddenly, she lost her appetite for the tangerine. She placed it on the coffee table, took Rory's and Zachary's hands, and headed outside. “This isn't your home. Come back with me to the Moore residence. Your great-grandpa misses you both so much that he can't sleep.”

“Grandma, I don't want to go back to the Moore residence. I want to be with Mommy.” Rory struggled with all her might. It was the first time she had gone against Allie.

Allie had always preferred boys, and she favored Zachary more. The moment Rory behaved defiantly, Allie could no longer control her temper.

She turned toward Rory and screamed at the top of her lungs, “Why are you so disobedient? This is not your home, so what are you staying here for? Do you really want to piss me off? You are going back today no matter what. There is no room for discussion!”

Rory was shocked and aggrieved.

She had always been spoiled, and Allie had never raised her voice at her before.

Fat tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed, “You shouted at me, Grandma. I don't like you anymore...”

Allie wanted to do it again but was stopped by Avery.

Avery shielded Rory and glared at Allie. “Ms. Musk, this is my house, and you are not allowed to do whatever you want here. How could you shout at Rory? Get out! You're not welcome here!”

With that, she shoved Allie out the door and slammed it shut.

No matter how much Allie shouted and screamed, Avery refused to open the door. Allie gritted her teeth in fury. With no other choice, she could only stomp away noisily in her heels.

Inside the house, Rory was bawling her eyes out.

Avery brought Rory into her embrace and patted Rory's back. When she saw how shaken Rory was, her hatred toward Allie intensified.

It's fine if her target is just me. But how could she do this to her own granddaughter?

After calming an almost inconsolable Rory down, Avery felt her heart grow all the colder.

If I can't divorce Dylan or if Cayden marries another woman, there's no guarantee that the other women would treat my children as their own. It would not be so bad if their so-called stepmother was kind-hearted. However, if they were anything like Milana and her mother, what would my poor children do?
