Chapter 1324
Ruby lay in bed and waited from nine to ten, then from ten to twelve o'clock.She had slept through most of the day, so despite it being midnight, the did not feel sleepy. She had picked up her phone a few times, wanting to call Elliot, but refrained from doing so when she remembered what he said before leaving.Her father, her brother, and Elliot were all men; and all men were players by nature. Men could not possibly stay in love with one particular woman for their entire life.Since she was old enough to remember, she had seen her father dating countless women. Even now, he was still dating women. He would spoil his partner rotten every single time, but when he eventually fell out of love, he became cold immediately.Her brother was worse. He had gotten married at a young age, but that did not stop him from keeping countless mistresses throughout the years. He was worse than his father. Ruby's sister-in-law had fought Christopher a few times in the beginning, but she had soo

"I'm going to sleep in the guest bedroom." He took his pillow and started walking away."Elliot, can you please stay?" Ruby begged in a soft voice. "I won't touch you.""I'm just worried that I might bump into your wound." Seeing how lowly her tone was, he said, "We will see once you recover."Ruby was instantly satisfied by his explanation."Elliot, there's something I need to remind you of." She reached out to turn on the nightlight on her side of the bed. "I did some research on Avery today, and I finally understand why you like her. She is really brilliant, but Elliot, this is Ylore. My father doesn't like her, and for her and for your own sake, it's best that you stay away from her. You can go out and find other women if you need to. I won't get mad, but I don't want you to get into a fight with my father over Avery."Ruby finally got a clear look at the hickey on Elliot's neck."I know," he responded coldly."Then why won't you send her away?" she asked. "You managed to get

He sat on his bed in a daze, absolutely clueless.His father had sent him away two years ago to expand their business, and he has not been in touch with anyone here. "I've just come back, and already someone is trying to kill me?"Can it be Elliot?" thought Christopher. Elliot did not have any actual power yet. Gary was keeping a constant eye on his performance, and he would not give Elliot even a single shred of power if he mismanaged something. So, Elliot dared not make a move against Christopher just yet."But, who else could it be?" thought Christopher.The negotiation between the Goulds and Gary’s brothers was around the corner so those two would not do anything at this time either.Christopher tapped his head, troubled. He glanced back at his phone and tried to shut the 'death timer' off, only to realize that the screen was locked. No matter how much he tapped on it, it did not change. He could not shut the timer off, or return to the main menu, or use his phone for anyt

They managed to come across certain information."Mr. Gould, your phone got the virus at three in the morning."Christopher lifted an eyebrow. "I was f*cking sleeping at three in the morning!""Yes! We checked the time, and it was three in the morning, so it has nothing to do with whether you were asleep or awake. One thing we know for sure is that your home network has been hacked, and someone has leaked your personal information. If that information had not been leaked, the hacker would not have been able to hack into your phone.""Who the f*ck leaked my personal information?!""I don't know about that. You will need to go back and check. As for this phone, would you prefer to take it back, or you would like to leave it with us, and we could try removing the virus?" said the technician. "If we don't remove the virus, you won't be able to use your phone.""If that's the case, what's the use in me taking it back?! Who the f*ck played such a nasty prank on me?! Haha! How dare they

Elliot was about to spring up and grab Hayden when a group of men headed by Christopher walked into the restaurant.Elliot spotted Christopher the moment Christopher spotted him.It was the first time they had seen one another since the shootout, and they both still held a grudge against each other.Christopher's eyes gleamed viciously when he saw Elliot, but because of Gary and Ruby, he knew that they still had to give the appearance of calm.Hayden immediately sat back down when he saw Christopher walk in.It was his first time seeing Christopher and he thought to himself, "So this is the assh*le that bullied Mom! If it weren't for how smart Mom is, she would have suffered so much at the hands of this b*st*rd! I won't give him the chance of hurting my mom again, so he has to die now!""I thought that you were out with Uncle Nick? Why are you eating here?" Christopher asked Elliot as he glanced over at Aaron.Aaron performed the role of Elliot's bodyguard, but in truth, he was

The bodyguard hurried outside the restaurant and caught up to Hayden. "Hayden! Your folks have been looking for you! They both searched for you until two in the morning last night!"The bodyguard wanted to take Hayden to Avery, but Hayden was determined to destroy Christopher. "Let go of me!"The bodyguard was slightly afraid of Hayden, but he was also scared of Avery. "Your mom told me to take you to her once I found you, or she is firing me!""Let go, or I'll make her fire you anyway!"The bodyguard immediately released his arm. "Hayden! Big Master Hayden! Please don't go! Your parents want you to stay away from Christopher because he is a dangerous man! If he catches you—""No one can catch me! Stop looking for me! I won't leave till I destroy Christopher Gould!" Hayden roared. "Just trust me, okay?!"The bodyguard fell silent. Not only did Hayden look like Elliot, but he was also as proud and short-tempered as Elliot. The bodyguard was defeated by Hayden's confidence and do

Jed froze. If he listened to Ruby and took Avery away from Ylore by force, Avery would be furious when she woke up, and she might even end their friendship. If he did not take her away, Avery might be exposed to grave danger by continuing to stay in Ylore. After some consideration, he decided to accept the tickets and medicine."I knew you would accept these. You must love Avery, so you must understand how miserable I am right now." Ruby picked up the glass and took a sip of water."Ms. Gould, people are born differently. I can only know the pain my friend is suffering, and I can't understand yours. You have misjudged the relationship that Avery and I share," he said, correcting her assumption. He had not been in contact with Avery for years. They had only recently made contact, and there was no way he would fall in love with her in such a short period of time. However, their bonds as classmates would never change."Oh, let's just say that I've misjudged you, then! So long as yo

"Look at how thin you are right now. It's my treat tonight, and you can just buy me dinner tomorrow," he said guiltily."Alright!" Avery sat down.Jed immediately picked up the jug to pour Avery a glass of juice.The bodyguard opened a can of beer, and Jed, on the other hand, avoided both the beer and the juice, picking up a box of coconut milk instead. Avery was starving and dug in. "Let's eat. I want to walk around the area later after dinner.""You've been walking the entire afternoon, are you not tired?" the bodyguard teased."I'm fine. If you are tired, I can go by myself—""Have you forgotten about the kidnapping?" The bodyguard was impressed by her courage and said, "Just eat first! We'll see later.""Okay." Avery took a bite of her food.Just then, Jed raised his glass and said, "A toast! Hopefully, everything will proceed smoothly from now on!"Avery raised her juice and clinked glasses with him. "Is it your birthday tonight, Jed? I feel like you are acting weird."
