The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 584 I Found Your Biological Daughter

Cayden helped Avery to change into house slippers.

Then, he wrapped an arm around her before walking toward Allie. His greeting was colored with an admonishing tone. “Hey Mom, I'm back with Avery. She brought a present for you.”

His frosty gaze caused Allie to shudder involuntarily. She promptly turned her head away, hiding her displeased expression.

It's all because of Avery that the relationship between my son and me is becoming worse!

Naturally, Allie's hatred toward Avery only deepened by the day.

“Mrs. Moore,” Avery greeted her before handing her a gift box of beauty products. “I heard you were a fan of this brand, so I bought a gift set for you when I went shopping.”

Allie turned around and shot her a sharp look.

Her sullen expression showed no signs of easing since Avery's arrival.

Her well-manicured fingers stroked a coffee cup lazily as she ignored Avery and addressed her son instead, “Cayden, didn't I tell you never to bring this woman home again? Why can't you listen? She embarrassed the Moore family at the engagement party and turned us into a laughingstock. Are you trying to anger me on purpose?”

Undeterred, Cayden tightened his arm around Avery and encouraged her to join him on the couch. He scrunched his brows in displeasure and returned, “Mom, Avery is your daughter-in-law.”

“I don't need a daughter-in-law who'll drag our family name through the mud. Thank you very much!” his mother spat coldly.

When her gaze landed on the branded beauty products Avery placed on the coffee table, Allie added disgustedly, “Ask her to take these back! I don't want to ruin my face!”

Impressively, Avery's smile never slipped throughout the exchange. She piped up, “I chose them when I was out shopping with Cayden, Mrs. Moore. He said this is your favorite brand.”
