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

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

"Oh, since you said that, I'm relieved!" Jed sighed, "You didn't see how fierce the man in black was! He shattered my glasses!"When Elliot looked at Jed, Jed's swollen-red eyes reminded him that Avery was still in danger.He clenched his fists and strode out of the ward. Jed tried to catch up to his pace, "What are you going to do?"And Elliot replied, "To smoke. Are you coming?""I'm not good..." Jed was about to reject, but much to his annoyance, he changed his mind, "Let's go!"A moment later, the bodyguard handed Elliot a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.Elliot took the stuff from the bodyguard and paced to the smoking zone, while Jed was following behind him.They both lit up a cigarette each. A cloud of white smoke then rose and lingered in the air.Jed started a conversation, "Elliot, have you really forgotten Avery already? Her bodyguard told me that you used to love each other very much.""Wasn't her bodyguard following her today?" answered Elliot with another quest

Elsewhere, in a mansion, Nick glimpsed at Elliot, then spoke to the phone slowly, "Why? She pissed you off?"The weird look on Christopher's face showed that he had hit the panic button."Uncle Nick, h-how's your relationship with her… now?""Didn't I ask her to attend Ruby's birthday party on my behalf today? Don't you feel dumb when you asked me that question?" Nick had lost his patience, "Now answer me, did she piss you off?!""Oh… s-she didn't. It's just that she was caught doing the ‘in-bed' thing with Elliot on our yacht today and that really upset my dad and me…""Don't you feel ashamed to be angry?! Did you forget the shot that you'd fired at Ruby already?" scolded Nick, "I don't need you to tell me what they've done. They already have three kids, so what's wrong with them having sex?"Christopher was stunned.He did not feel wronged by Nick's fury, but he was confused by how righteous Nick himself thought he was when he had chosen to be a cheater.In Christopher's impr
Chapter 1311
Avery walked up to Nick and said firmly, "I will at least ask him to give me an explanation before I leave.""I'm too lazy to care about your business!" said Nick. He had had enough of her stubbornness."I know your bark is worse than your bite. So is Elliot's," said Avery. She felt a glimmer of light in her heart.Although she was kidnapped and humiliated, she was happy that she had known Elliot's thoughts.'If Elliot had had no feelings for me, he wouldn't have come to seek help from Nick,' Avery thought."That's mushy! Don't you feel shy?" Nick blushed and strode out of the living room.Somewhere in the city, Nick's bodyguard left Avery after they had arrived at the hotel safely.When she walked to the lift, her bodyguard walked to her and patted her shoulder, "Avery! You're finally back! Jed called me and said that you were kidnapped, and I was super anxious!"Avery's bodyguard was new to Ylore. He did not have a lot of friends here, hence he could not get any information a
