Chapter 1328
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."

It became clear that Jed and Avery's bodyguard did not want him there, and it was clear that they did not want him to drink the juice. The juice was average juice, and so the reason they did not want him to drink it could not be because it was some kind of precious or expensive juice.Suspecting that something was wrong, Elliot raised the glass and pretended to drink it."Hey! Don't drink that!" Jed said and snatched the glass out of Elliot's hand.Avery's expression instantly darkened."Why can't he drink it?" She glanced at the glass of juice in her hand. "Is there something wrong with the juice?"As soon as those words were out, the entire table fell silent. Both Jed and the bodyguard lowered their heads, uncertain of what to say.Arron picked up the spoon and said, "There might be something wrong with the juice, but the food is fine, right? I'm starving! Can I eat?""The food is fine so go ahead!" Jed said."'The food is fine', so you are admitting that something is wrong w

"By the way, didn't you mention that Elliot pays you every month? Is he still doing so?"The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know! My wife manages my bank account.""Whatever. It's not that important. I should give you a bonus once we get back." Avery realized that her bodyguard had not rested and had even sacrificed his time with his family. She decided that she was going to reward him with a big bonus once they got back."Now that I know that, I won't dare force you to return to Aryadelle," the bodyguard teased."Let's just eat! Once we find Hayden, I will consider going back to Aryadelle with him."Though their plans had upset Avery, she was greatly inspired by them. She was not in great danger at the moment, and she did not want to endanger herself in the future. She could not drag her bodyguard and Jed down with her.At the same time, Christopher was having dinner at home. His new phone was working just fine earlier, but by the time he was done, he picked

Elliot looked at her quietly and waited for her to explain."I want Avery to leave Ylore, but it's not only because I'm afraid that you'll fall in love with her again! I'm worried that if she stays, she will affect your career," said Ruby. "Elliot, you are my husband now. You are the most important person to me, but my brother doesn't see you the way I do. He sees you as his enemy. If I have to choose between you and my brother, I will definitely choose you. You have lost everything in Aryadelle, so I want you to get back on your feet here. My father trusts you, so can you refrain from enraging him before he actually hands his power over to you?"Ruby's words changed the way Elliot viewed her."I actually wanted your plan to work, because I want her to leave, too," he said.Ruby was relieved. "I thought that you would be angry with me for doing what I wanted...""You overstepped your boundaries; you should have told me ahead of time.""I will tell you before I do anything next ti

"We will see when she comes back! She might not love money that much, but she still cares a lot about Tate Industries. Her father left her this company right before he passed away, so she is definitely going to be really sad if Tate Industries goes bankrupt."In Ylore, Christopher had not slept for the whole night.At midnight, he fulfilled his promise and killed a servant with his own hands.If he had to suffer, everyone at home would have to suffer with him. He stayed awake until morning and as he stared at the time slipping away from the timer, he came up with a plan.The hacker had to be in Ylore. Christopher knew that his enemy was hidden in the dark while he was an easy target out in the open. He simply had to comb through the information of people that arrived into Ylore in the past few days to narrow down his search.At noon, his bodyguard delivered a big pile of documents to Christopher."Mr. Gould, here is the information sent by the airport. I have categorized them by
