Avery had been married into the Sterling family for four years. Everyone treated her like nothing more than a pretty vase who only knew how to spend money. In truth, she had been a legendary jewel thief in her past life.When the “Weeping Blood Rose”—a custom piece commissioned by a Middle Eastern royal family—vanished without a trace from the Sterlings’ S-level vault, the family suddenly faced a five-billion-dollar claim.Drawing on her razor-sharp knowledge of security weaknesses, Avery systematically dismantled every layer of protection: the ventilation shafts, the liquid-nitrogen cooling system, the surveillance buffer zones. She exposed Grant, the security consultant, as the mole inside, then teamed up with Ethan on the rooftop to take down the hired mercenaries and recover the gem.Once the crisis was over, Ethan shoved the offer letter for Chief Technical Consultant into her hands. Avery’s carefully cultivated image as a beautiful waste of space was shattered for good.
