Chapter 1307
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

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

When Ben and Lilith arrived at Starry River Villa, Hayden was about to go out.He bought a flight ticket to Ylore that would depart at three o'clock in the afternoon.However, Lilith's arrival disrupted his travel plan."Hayden, I'm so sorry to trouble your Aunt. Lilith didn't want to stay at my house, so I brought her here. I'll explain to your mom later," said Ben.Hayden then glanced at Lilith.Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked aggrieved as if she was bullied.Her head was hung low when she was carrying her luggage to the room she used to live in."The child is gone," Ben told Hayden after Lilith had walked far away, "She was set up by a young lady who used to live next door to me.""Scram! I don't want to see you," Hayden did not want to hear any more sentences from Ben.Ben felt guilty when he heard Hayden. He wanted to say something but he knew that whatever he said would only be superfluous to Hayden.After Ben had left, Hayden put his backpack

Jed strode out of the ward afterward.Right as he stepped out, he saw Elliot standing not far away from him.Elliot was leaning against the window smoking a cigarette.To Jed's surprise, Elliot had already returned to the hospital.Yet, he did not step into Ruby's ward all this while.Jed then walked up to Elliot and saw a lot of cigarette butts in the trash can in front of Elliot."Is Avery safe now?" asked Jed."Yeah. I saw you fell asleep, so I didn't wake you up." Elliot threw the cigarette he was holding into the trash can, "Off you go.""I was about to. By the way, she already woke up. You should check on her."Elliot pursed his lips and strode back to Ruby's ward while Jed headed to the lift.For some unknown reason, Elliot was terrifying in Jed's eyes.Although Elliot looked calm on the outside, Jed could sense that a storm was coming when he looked into Elliot's eyes.To Jed, Elliot was like a dormant beast that would wake up at any time!Time flew, and the sun wa

"Only he knows," Avery was distracted.She felt that Elliot had already remembered her, but she was not sure as long as Elliot did not tell her personally.To her, Elliot might have saved her last night because of the intimate affair they had on the yacht."What's your next step?" asked Ben, "Do you need my help? He's forgotten you but not me.""Has he ever contacted you?" Avery curiously asked."No," Ben was embarrassed, "I received a call from an unknown number calling from Ylore not long ago and didn't pick it up. However, no one answered when I called back.""I know his phone number in Ylore," Avery anticipated, "Show me.""Okay," Ben then found the unknown number which he did not save in the call log.Avery's heart beat fast when she heard the number from Ben, "Ben, it's him! He's using this number in Ylore!""I knew it! He only forgot you but not me! That's why he remembers my number!" Ben breathed heavily, "But why didn't he pick up my phone? I know he's not into romanc
