Chapter 554 The Suggestiveness Sparked Speculation
As Avery was sitting for an examination the next day, Alina woke up at the crack of dawn and prepared breakfast
for her. It was not until Avery had finished eating that she had the driver send the latter to the exam hall.
Avery was given the examination venue of a certain well-known School of Economics and Finance.
When she arrived near the examination hall, she saw a crowd there for the examination. The entire place was
packed, making for an impressive sight.
However, the majority of those sitting for the examination this time were males, and there were relatively fewer
females.
The examination would be starting soon, and many of the examinees were reviewing with papers in their hands.
Regardless of whether they were reinforcing information they had studied or doing last-minute cramming, they all
looked exceedingly diligent.
That had always been the norm for examinations.
Since there were a lot of examinees, the driver, Jake, feared something would befall Avery if she were alone. As
such, he first parked the car at the parking lot before accompanying Avery to the exam hall.
After all, the lesson from the car accident previously was too painful, and no one around Cayden dared to be
careless anymore.
Right then, many examinees were crowded in front of the bulletin board at the entrance of the exam hall, checking
the location of the building and room assigned to them for the examination.
Avery was assigned to Room 302 on the third floor of Block D.
Jake led Avery to a shady place with few people before urging, “Wait for me here for a while, Mrs. Moore. I'll go and
have a look at the location of your exam hall. There are too many people here, so don't roam around to prevent
any accidents. I'll be back in a jiffy.”
“Sure, thank you,” Avery replied.
It was tiring for her to stand for a long time since she was pregnant.
Therefore, when she spotted a medium-sized stone bench at the side, she took out a tissue and wiped it before

Then, she also took out a book from her bag and skimmed over some important points.
Subsequently, she diligently reviewed the summary Cayden wrote for her.
While she was all focused on studying, a crisp and sweet female voice rang out. “Hello, nice to meet you. Are you
here to sit for the exam as well?”
Avery snapped her head up in surprise, only to be greeted by the sight of a long-haired girl in trendy clothes looking
at her smilingly with a book in hand.
The girl had a delicate face, looking incredibly sweet as she smiled. She gave off a sense of being harmless and
friendly.
Out of courtesy, Avery replied with a smile, “Nice to meet you. I'm also here to sit for the exam.”
“I'm Evangeline Gellana, and this is my first time sitting for the exam.” After introducing herself, the girl arbitrarily
sat down beside Avery. Gaping at her in amazement, she exclaimed, “You're an expectant mother at such a young
age? You don't look that old. Did you get married as soon as you graduated? And is this your first time sitting for the
Certified Professional Constructor exam?”
She was just like a chatterbox, her series of questions overwhelming Avery.
Some of the questions infringed on her privacy, so Avery ignored them, merely murmuring gently, “I'm Avery
Rumpley, and this is also my first time sitting for the exam.”
The girl known as Evangeline glimpsed the paper in Avery's hand.
She casually swept a gaze over it, only to be suddenly blown away. Blinking, she again asked in surprise, “Is this the
pre-exam information you compiled? Your writing is beautiful, and the content you summarized is really detailed...
Oh, there are even notes on questions examinees are prone to answer wrongly? Wow! I find your summary even
better than the educational material itself. Can I have a look at it?”
At the request, Avery wavered for a moment.
Clocking the anticipation in the eyes of the overly-friendly girl, she caved in and handed her a piece of the two-page
information written by Cayden. “Here.”
Evangeline happily took the summary and thanked her before reading it seriously.
A little over ten minutes later, Jake sprinted back with sweat dotting his forehead.
He did not expect the sheer number of examinees before the bulletin board, and he almost suffocated amidst
them.
I'm a man, but even I find it found it beyond challenging to squeeze my way in and out of that crowd. It would've
been worse for Avery, who's pregnant!
Right that instant, he was glad that he had accompanied Avery there for the examination.
Otherwise, there would certainly have been some accident if she had come to the exam hall alone.
If that were to happen, he could never escape from bearing the blame.
“I saw the location of your exam hall, Mrs. Moore...” Jake, who trotted over, trailed off upon seeing that a young and
beautiful girl was sitting beside Avery.
Scratching his head, he could not help asking in puzzlement, “Who is this, Mrs. Moore?”
“Thank you.” Avery flipped the book closed. She took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag before handing it
to him. “Have some water to quench your thirst first. This is a fellow examinee I've just gotten acquainted with. Her
name is Evangeline Gellana.”
“Nice to meet you.” Evangeline greeted Jake beamingly. Her big eyes curved into crescents, rendering her very
much delightful.
Jake's heartbeat accelerated, and he forced a smile on his average-looking face. “Nice to meet you. I'm Jake
Jackson, Mrs. Moore's driver.”
At the man's flustered look, Evangeline clapped a hand over her mouth and giggled. What a silly man!
However, her brown eyes inexorably flickered when she heard him addressing Avery as “Mrs.” and introducing
himself as the latter's driver. She began scrutinizing Avery surreptitiously.
She noticed that Avery was wearing a mid-length A-line white maternity dress with a cute round collar in black that
accentuated her fair neck.
Her eyes were so sharp that she also spotted the Irushean label at the collar and recognized it as a foreign luxury
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrand.
After catching sight of that label, she could no longer maintain a calm expression.
That was a renowned Irushean brand, and a dress cost as much as half of her annual salary.
Following that, she could not resist speculating inwardly. What exactly is the identity of this girl, whom I'd initially
thought was ordinary like me?
Meanwhile, Avery was entirely oblivious to her thoughts. Right then, her attention was riveted by a financial news
video that popped up on her phone.
The caption read: Business upstart, Cayden Moore, attends Aploth Business Summit in Beshya as a special guest to
talk about the economy in the new era.
She was not at all surprised to see Cayden on a financial news channel, but she had never expected the news to
pop out at such a time.
As a financial news channel, the focus was naturally on finance. Nonetheless, the videographer was well aware of
netizens' desire for gossip. The other entrepreneurs were all old or had potbellies, so the camera was mostly
focused on the young and handsome Cayden.
Naturally, there were also many shots of the beautiful and glamorous Wisteria beside him. In fact, most were of
them in the same frame.
Even through the camera, one could still perceive her adoration and love for Cayden. The latter, however, seemed
entirely oblivious.
It was then Cayden's turn to speak.
When Wisteria handed the microphone to her employer, her fingers brushed against Cayden's hand in a seemingly
unintentional gesture.
The suggestiveness in that action inexorably sparked speculation.
Avery saw that Cayden appeared to frown in the video. He picked up the handkerchief on the table and discreetly
wiped his hand a few times. Then, he lifted the microphone and started to speak eloquently.
Wisteria seemingly froze for a moment, her expression stiffening briefly. But in no time, she flashed the camera a
graceful smile.
Mirth bubbled within Avery. His germaphobia seems to be growing increasingly severe.
