Chapter 21
This was the first time in his life that he had done such a thing in the car.
But he could no longer hold it back. Damien had visited his parents’ manor just now, and his father told him that in the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow, he was planning to sign an agreement that clearly distinguished the ownership of shares of each member of the Radbury family. The marriage between Damien and Ava was a marriage of convenience that was closely tied to the Radbury family and the Nagel family’s business relationship. Both families derived benefits from each other, and Ava was supposed to have some of Radbury Group’s shares too. But according to Karen, even though Ava was the Radbury family’s daughter-in-law, she was still an outsider. Hence, if she and Damien were to get a divorce one day, she wasn’t supposed to get anything from the Radbury family. His parents were obviously keeping their guard up when it came to Ava. And it seemed that they were already planning for Damien and Ava’s divorce.
A divorce?
Damien sneered. So, this woman was already starting to look for her next husband, huh? “Selden Oakley. I’ve investigated him. He’s the second young master of Oakley Corporation. Quite a good candidate for your next husband, I would say.” Damien stopped thrusting himself into Ava, and there was a mocking expression on his face.
“What nonsense are you spewing?” “Since you like him so much, you shouldn’t have climbed onto my bed back then.” “I don’t…” Ava’s body ached all over. She wanted to shove Damien away, but she was unable to move at all. He grabbed both her wrists and put her hands above her head. He then pried open her legs with his knees and forcefully thrust himself into her again. Damien’s movements were not gentle at all. With every thrust, it was as though he wanted to swallow her up. Even though Damien was a playboy, he didn’t appear skilled at having sex at all. His thrusts were way too forceful and brutal, and he seemed to derive pleasure from her pain. Ava bit her lower lip to stop herself from moaning in pain. He was grasping her neck, and she wasn’t able to breathe at all. Finally, she fainted.
When she woke up again, she was already lying on a bed.
She realized that she was lying on the bed in the master bedroom, and that the bedsheet had been changed back to the original one. Someone had also put on pajamas for her. Every inch of her body ached horribly. She raised her hand and saw that her arm was covered in bruises.
burning pain in her neck. He had choked her back in the car. Was Damien trying to kill her? Ava struggled to get up. This was when a servant walked in. “Young missus, the young master ordered me to make you some porridge?” “Huh? He asked you to make me porridge? The servant didn’t say anything more. She merely put down the bowl of porridge and left. Ava hesitated for a moment and picked up the bowl. It was hot, and there was

The spiral staircase was right behind her. Ava widened her eyes in disbelief. She didn’t even use that much force when she slapped Beth just now. How was it possible for Beth to fall because of it? She reached out and tried to

it. I didn’t push her!” “Don’t call me ‘mum’! The Radbury family can’t afford to have a heinous daughter-in-law like you!” After Karen said that coldly, she followed the servants,
In the hospital, the doctor told Karen, “Sorry, we tried our best.”
Karen wailed sorrowfully. She was so sad that she almost collapsed. Ava subconsciously tried to help her up, but she shoved Ava away in disgust. “You heinous woman! Beth is your sister, and the baby in her belly is the Radbury family’s heir. Not only are you infertile, but you also tried to end the Radbury family’s bloodline!” “I didn’t!” No matter how Ava defended herself, Karen wouldn’t buy it. 2 After all, seeing was believing. “A woman like you has no right to stay married to my son! Bodyguards, capture her now! You better sign the divorce agreement immediately. I’ll get even with you later!” The moment Karen gave the order, the Radbury family’s bodyguards immediately held Ava down. Ava tried to struggle, but Karen slapped her twice across the face. Karen’s gaze was extremely fierce, and it was obvious that she was about to punish Ava terribly. “I didn’t push her. I really didn’t!” “Shut up! Ava Nagel, it seems that you can only be cowed by force!” Karen was so furious that she kicked Ava twice with her high heels. This was when someone stood between her and Ava. “Stop it.”
Damien’s voice was calm but firm and domineering.
He turned around and looked condescendingly at Ava. “Harming your own sister like that, Ava Nagel, you’re getting bolder and bolder indeed.”
“I didn’t make her miscarry…”
Ava felt that no matter what she said, no one would believe her. “Of course you didn’t make her miscarry.”
Damien sneered all of a sudden.
“I had never even touched her before. How could she have a baby?”
