Chapter 1331
"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."
Chapter 1332
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

"This is the same f*cking person!" Christopher compared the photo of Hayden online with the photo on the document and exclaimed.The bodyguard took a look at the photos and felt the same."If this is Hayden Tate, it means that he's been here in Ylore for a couple of days now!" Christopher hissed, "Elliot did a good job hiding him. I didn't even know.""Of course, he doesn't dare let word get out! If this child falls into your hands and the Boss', you are going to get the perfect bargaining chip! You can talk it over with Boss and see if we should capture this child," the bodyguard said.Christopher pulled out his phone, intending to call his father, only to see the death timer. He asked his bodyguard for his phone instead.After he had explained the situation, Gary remained quiet for a few moments and said, "Capture him in secret. If you succeed, Elliot will be our puppet!""I get it! I will send my men to look for him."Christopher could sense the expectation in his father's vo

Avery did not think that that was a good solution, but there was no other way to hide Hayden. She would not feel safe hiding Hayden anywhere else. At least with Elliot, she could be less concerned. However, there was also Ruby to worry about..."If Elliot told you to send Hayden over, it means that he has reached an agreement with Ruby," said her bodyguard, consoling her. "The women here in Ylore are quite traditional. They are taught to obey their husbands, and most women would have to take their husbands' family names. Had Ruby not been the lady of the Gould family, she would have had to change her surname as well."Avery scowled, "But I can't find Hayden!""Have you tried calling him?""I called him, and his phone was out of service.""Try again, maybe?"Avery immediately unlocked her phone and called Hayden, and this time, he picked up.Once the call was answered, Avery said in excitement, "Hayden! Where are you right now? Christopher already knows that you are here and is s
Chapter 1338
Instantly, Elliot focused his attention on Hayden. They had rarely spent time together in private, mainly because Hayden did not like him and would avoid Elliot whenever he had the chance.Because of that, Elliot did not quite know how to face his son. Had it not been for the circumstances, they would not find themselves alone with each other."Do you know how dangerous it is to just come here?!" said Elliot, unable to refrain from reprimanding his son. "Mind your own business!" Hayden said."Didn't you think that your mom would challenge Christopher if he had caught you?" "Christopher wouldn't have been able to capture me even without your help! I wouldn't have come here if my mom hadn't begged me to!"Elliot arched his eyebrow. "So you are refusing to eat because your mom is not begging you to eat? Should I call her now and get her to beg you?"Hayden glared at him coldly. "Leave my mom alone!""I will, but you will need to listen to me while you are here!" Elliot stared
