If Elliot was on the yacht, was it possible that his mother was also on that yacht? Thinking of this, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed Avery.Avery answered the phone quickly."Mom, where are you now?""I'm in the hospital." Avery glanced at Jed and said to Hayden, "Mom has a classmate who has broken a bone and is hospitalized. I'm visiting him now.""Oh." Hayden was relieved, and at the same time, he asked in doubt, "What classmate?""He's a classmate from my graduate school. He happened to be traveling in Ylore and unfortunately broke a bone.""Got it." Hayden said after being silent for two seconds, "Mom, I'm going to start school soon."Avery apologized, "Hayden, I'm sorry! I can't take you to school in person. Let Uncle Mike take you there, alright? Mom will see you soon when I finish my stuff.""Yeah." Hayden knew that this would happen, but he still felt very disappointed.After hanging up the phone, Hayden clicked on the mouse, exited the news interf
At the same time, Gary also woke up.When he came to his senses, he was furious when he knew what had happened! Ruby was shot in the left scapula and had been sent to the nearest hospital for surgery to retrieve the bullet.Christopher and Elliot were outside the operating room, waiting for the operation to end.Of course, Christopher would not admit that the shooting was his own.But Gary didn't listen to his explanation at all.Gary slapped Christopher in front of everyone!"Why didn't you just kill me?" Gary's face was ashen, "If you had killed me, you could inherit my inheritance directly, wouldn't that be more convenient?!""Dad!" There was a clear palm print on Christopher's cheek, "I really didn't do it! Besides, I wouldn't dare kill you, I'm not an ungrateful bastard!"Seeing that he refused to admit it, Gary raised his hand, ready to give him another slap.Seeing this, Elliot blocked Gary's arm."Since he has said he didn't do it, stop being angry," Elliot said coldly
"Elliot, go back to take a shower and change your clothes." Kevin looked at the blood on his white shirt and told him, "You've been through a tiring day, take a bath and get a good night's sleep. Ruby won't wake up for quite a while. You can come back to the hospital tomorrow morning to see her."Elliot got up from the chair and strode out of the hospital.Seeing Elliot's figure disappear from sight, the expression on Kevin's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.Today was Ruby's birthday, but Elliot and Avery were making out on the yacht where the banquet was held.In addition to not taking Ruby seriously, he was not taking the entire Gould family seriously.Kevin couldn't stop him from messing around with women outside, but on such an important occasion today, expressing complete disregard for the dignity of the Gould family annoyed Kevin very much indeed!Did he really think that the Gould family couldn't live without him?Kevin gritted his teeth, and his anger grew stronger
After breakfast, Lilith went out.Someone wanted to meet her and she agreed.She did not know who the person was, but she knew it was a woman, and she said she was a good friend of Ben.Since she was Ben's good friend, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.After leaving the Schaffers' house, she took a taxi from the side of the road and reported to the restaurant that the woman had made an appointment at.About twenty minutes later, her taxi arrived at the restaurant.Lilith got out of the taxi and walked towards the door of the restaurant.As soon as she entered the restaurant, a mature woman sitting by the window immediately waved to her.She walked over and took a seat."Are you Lilith?" The woman spoke first, and at the same time looked at her carefully. "You look really tall and beautiful, no wonder Ben likes you.""He doesn't like me!" Lilith corrected her and inquired, "Didn't you say that you were his good friend? Since you are his friend, why didn't you know that I w
After a while, two cups of milk tea were delivered to them."Try it, the milk tea served in this restaurant is very delicious."Lilith took a sip. The taste felt similar to the milk tea from the milk tea shop outside.Due to the absence of common topics, the conversation was unsuccessful. Lilith finished drinking the milk tea in a short while."How did you get here?" the woman asked."I came by taxi.""I came by car. You can go back with me!" The woman picked up her bag and got up."Don't bother. I'll take a taxi." Lilith also picked up her bag and got up, "You really don't want to tell me your name?""There's nothing to say. There are so many women who like Ben, but he has never put me in his heart." The woman let out a faint smile and then walked away.Lilith watched her leave and murmured to herself. This woman was really queer. Did she ask her out just for a cup of milk tea?Taking a taxi back to Schaffer's house, Lilith suddenly felt a cramping pain in her abdomen.She
The man in black suddenly grabbed Avery's arms with lightning speed!Bang!Avery’s phone fell to the ground.Before she could react, the man had dragged her into the car.Jed hurriedly chased after the man and pulled on Avery’s hand!"Who are you?! Let her go! I'll call the police if you don’t!" yelled Jed at the man.However, Jed had just been discharged from the hospital. He did not have enough strength to stop the man.Soon, Jed reached the car’s door.Yet, the man turned a deaf ear to Jed. He was not afraid Jed would call the police, and he even punched Jed in the face!Jed’s glasses flew away from his nose instantly! He was now blind without it. However, he did not let go of Avery’s hand."Jed! Let go of me! Get Elliot to save me!" Avery shouted at Jed while she tried to shake his grip off. She did not want to drag him into this mess.As soon as Avery got rid of Jed’s grip, she was dragged into the car.Bang!The door was then shut forcefully by the man.Shortly, the
The black car went all the way down the road and eventually stopped at the gate of an abandoned factory in the suburbs.The time was near eleven at night. There were no street lights but only a yellowish light from the abandoned factory.That light set a strange and frightening tone for the factory and that gave Avery the shivers.She then saw a man standing in the factory while facing away from her.However, she could already tell who he was from his back because they had met once at the doorway of the room at Elliot and Ruby's wedding.That man was the boss who set up the shooting on the yacht earlier that day.Avery knew they had come for her because they failed to kill Elliot on the yacht.The man in black pushed her into the factory and then the iron gate behind her was slammed shut immediately."Christopher, why did you kidnap me here?" said Avery in a calm and disdainful voice. "Forget it if you’re planning on using me to threaten Elliot. Because he still can’t recognize
Gary acquiesced to Elliot’s query with his words."Gary, if you hand Avery over, I’ll make sure she leaves Ylore right away," said Elliot. He did not want to piss Gary off by saying too much.Avery was now in Gary’s hands. Elliot could not imagine what kind of torture she would suffer."Deal, but not tonight," Gary stared at Elliot and said coldly."Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in women at the moment? I promise she won’t die, so you may go back and have a good rest now!"Elliot intuitively felt Avery was in great danger when he heard Gary, "Why not tonight?""Christopher was mad when he found out the things you had done with Avery at Ruby’s birthday party. So he decided to teach her a lesson. Don’t worry. I’ve told Christopher to keep her alive, so he will only ‘play’ with her. She’s not your wife, so if you can ‘play’ with her, so can anyone, right?"Elliot went furious as his forehead became veiny. He clenched his fists and said, "Gary, you know it was on me. You may
