Lilith was doing a mental calculation. She should just take the three thousand. Even if Ben did not drink too much, she would still want to earn it. She was not with another man. Ben would not be too fierce, right?After receiving the three thousand in her account, she entered the room."Lie in bed, don't turn on the light. We'll send him in later," The fat man said, "You should be close to Mr. Schaffer, right?""I don't know him well!" Lilith said nervously with shifty eyes."He got you in his car the last time, yet you're still denying it! If you were to stick with him, you won't have to worry for the rest of your life."The fat man looked at the time. "I'll go check up on Mr. Schaffer. Don't run!""I've already taken the money, I won't run," Lilith said, but she was starting to panic.Ben would surely scold her because he often looked down on her job. She did not want to be scolded by him, so on a whim, she took her bag and entered the washroom.Soon after, she realized th
"Okay, I'll go look for a place for her.""Hmm." Avery thought for a while. "She's a lady living alone. Find her a safe neighborhood.""If I find her a good place, will she take it for granted?""If you're worried about this, you can rent her a house first and you pay the rent," Avery suggested, "If you're satisfied with her, then you can buy her one."Elliot's gaze was cold. "Other than you and the children, I do not want to pay for another person's life.""I know, but she is your sister. Also, Nathan is not as evil as we think. If he didn't surrender himself…" Avery could not continue her sentence."Go shower! I'll show you once I pick a place," Elliot did not want to continue the topic."Okay."The next day, Avery headed over to Ben's early in the morning.Ben's house door was shut tightly. They seemed to not be up yet.Avery took her phone out and dialed Ben. At that moment, a shuffling of footsteps came from behind.When she turned around, she saw Lilith.Lilith had a
Given Avery's current relationship with Cole, if Cole did not deliberately make things difficult for her, it was considered great already.What nice things could he give to her? Avery's thoughts ran wild. Was he planning or scheming again?!"You'll know it once you see it! I guarantee you it's something good!" Cole asked, "Where are you right now? I'll get someone to send it to you."Since Cole wanted her to see what it was so urgently, Avery wanted to know what it was too!She pondered for a few seconds and said, "Send it to the office!" If she were to send it to Elliot's mansion, Elliot would surely see it."Okay." Cole hung up.Avery came out from the neighborhood. She had just gotten in the car when Elliot called. Even if he did not call her, she was planning to make a call to him."Avery, Ben just called me, saying that you have already dealt with Lilith." Elliot did not expect things to go so smoothly. "Was she uncooperative or did she throw a tantrum?""No," Avery said
"I wanted to drink some water last night, so she served me a cup of water in the dark. I told her to turn on the lights, but she outright refused. I suspect that she must be extremely ugly, if not she would not have been like that. Forget about it, I don't want to cause her any trouble. She's so ugly I guess she could only earn some money in the dark. It's not easy too."Chad was stunned! "She's so ugly, yet you two…"Ben coughed and said awkwardly, "Don't tell others! It's too embarrassing! I had one too many drinks last night, I wasn't in control of myself. Sigh! My alcohol tolerance is not as good as before.""It has nothing to do with your alcohol tolerance. You overdrank last night. No matter who it was, they would be drunk too.""The next time, if I ever get drunk, I'll pay you one hundred and fifty thousand." Ben decided to use this method to control himself. Upon saying that, there was a knock on the door. They looked over and saw Elliot entering."Mr. Foster, why are
Upon reaching the office, she immediately shut her office door. She quickly opened the bag and had a look inside. There seemed to be a smaller bag inside.She walked over to the window to have a clearer look at what was inside. She gasped! She immediately took the small bag out. It was blood! A bag of dark, red blood!She was instantly dizzy. Her legs felt like jelly. She felt as if she was going to fall over. She was not afraid of blood, but she could guess whose blood this was!Her phone in her bag rang. She took a deep breath, strode to her desk, and took her phone out of her bag.She picked up the call. Cole's sinister laugh rang through. "Have you received it yet?""You animal!" Avery scolded. "What the hell do you want?""Don't you want to ask me whose blood this is? Forget about it, I won't tell you. Just take it to a lab! Anyway, you'll get your answer in half an hour." Cole chuckled. "Seeing how angry you are, I'm guessing you already know whose blood it is.""Cole, I
"Why didn't you knock before entering?" Avery grumbled."I did!" Mike scratched his head. "I knocked, but you didn't hear me. What happened? Did you have a fight with Elliot? That shouldn't have happened! Haven't you two been quite close recently?""It has nothing to do with him." Avery took some tissues and wiped away her tears. "I was watching the news just now. A middle-aged man disguised himself as a cobbler on the streets just to pay for his daughter's education. Every time I see this type of news, I will think of my mother. I feel for the people at the bottom of the social ladder.""Is that so?" Mike pointed at her clenched fist. "What is that in your hands? Let me have a look. If you don’t let me see what it is, I won't believe what you said.""How does it affect me even if you don't believe me?" Avery quickly recollected her thoughts. "What are you looking for me for?""Hey! You're saying this as if we're strangers. I heard you're in the office, so I deliberately came over
Avery sat in the lobby. Her eyes were in a daze. She was shuddering. She seemed to be in despair. She did not know what to do.She did not want to tell Elliot because if she told him, he would really kill Henry and Cole. She did not want him to become a murderer! However, if she did not tell Elliot about it, she would have to see Adrian and Shea die.No matter what she thought, she only came to one solution. She sat in the hospital for a while before dialing Cole."Have you thought it through?" Cole answered her call, waiting for her reply."Let's meet and talk!" Avery came out of the hospital. "I'll send you the location. Come as soon as possible.""Are you setting me up? Avery, let me tell you, Adrian is in our hands. If you're up to any tricks, Adrian will surely die!" Cole said nervously."I know," Avery said and hung up.40 minutes later, they met in a private room of a restaurant near the hospital.Cole carefully scanned the room."We're only meeting up, why do you hav
Cole's eyes were reddened and bloodshot."Dad! Don't give her Adrian! I would rather die than give in to them!" Cole yelled.Henry choked up, "Cole, where are you? I'll come to rescue you…""No! Don't come! Just look after Adrian! If they don't give us money, we won't give them Adrian!" Because Cole was moving about so much, the dagger pierced into his neck.Blood oozed out of his wound.Avery looked at the blood oozing out of him. She relaxed her grip on the dagger quite a bit.Would she really dare to kill Cole? Would she really dare to do so? She asked herself countless times.She lost it once she had the answer in her heart. She might say harsh words, but she did not dare to kill a person!As a doctor, she knew which part would easily kill Cole, but she did not have the courage to do so! "Avery, if you dare to do it, kill me! If you really kill me, you and Elliot the devil are a true match! Hahaha!" Cole laughed maniacally.Avery's hand with the dagger trembled nonstop.
