"You know who Jed is, right?" Elliot looked her in the eye and asked, "How did he die?"The smile on Ruby's face froze. "He's dead? I had no idea! I've been home all this ti—""You don't need to leave home if you wanted to kill him.""I didn't kill him! Why would I kill him when I have nothing against him?" Ruby reached out and grabbed Elliot's arm. "I do know him. I ran into him at the hospital when I sought consultation at the hospital for the test-tube baby. He begged me to help Avery get out of here, but I told him that my father was angry and that I could only help him when my father cooled down.""That's all?" Elliot pushed her hand away."Yes! I didn't have anything to do with him other than his request for me to help Avery..." Ruby saw that Elliot did not entirely trust her, so she continued, "There was one other time when I took the initiative to invite him to our home as a guest. I heard that Avery had a man by her side, so I wanted to know what their relationship was."

Avery knew that Elliot only said that to calm her down, but nothing anyone did could soothe her emotions!She was heartbroken, and the more uncomfortable she was, the more painful the wound on her head became."Stop thinking about that, Avery!" Elliot held her hand tightly and emphasized, "I don't care if the sky is about to fall. Just don't worry about it! We'll talk about everything once you're discharged from the hospital!"She tried to take a deep breath and calm her trembling body.It took her a few minutes before her mood calmed down."Close your eyes," Elliot urged in a low voice. "You'll recover quicker if you rest well."She did not heed his advice to close her eyes because she did not want to.Jed's face would appear in her mind whenever she closed them.She never suspected anything when she saw Jed's message, and it was truly horrifying to know that Gary was so cruel!She could not let herself act as if nothing had happened, and she had to stay awake even if she cou

"You did well on that task I had you do, Elliot," Gary said cheerfully when he saw Elliot. "By the way, how was the discussion with Edward and Ted? I believe they already approached you?"Elliot nodded. "I have met with them. Their initial consensus was that Mickey and Julian's assets—""Those are mine! The assets belonging to Mickey and Julian are already mine! I bought it from their widows at a reasonable price, and I did so legally!"After Mickey and Julian's death, Gary unscrupulously bought their property at a very low price.It was ostensibly a buyout, but in truth, it was an outright robbery.Edward and Ted ended their friendship with Gary because of that!They could care less if Gary used such underhanded methods to deal with outsiders, but Mickey and Julian were comrades from the same alliance. How could he take their property all for himself? Even if they wanted to take their property, they should split it with each other. Gary had no right to be taking all of it for hi

Gary was so furious that it looked as though Elliot had done something to wrong him.Elliot stopped walking. "You're sick right now, so you should have more rest and refrain from thinking too much. Ruby mentioned that she isn't feeling well, so I'll check up on her."Elliot's gentle tone made Gary feel as if everything he said earlier had no effect at all.Gary was very upset after Elliot left."He's becoming more and more capable of hiding his feelings," Gary said to the bodyguard. "He looks as if he's respecting me, but the truth is that he resents me.""All because of that doctor named Jed? I don't think Jed is worth being angry for, right?""He's not doing it for Jed... He's doing it for Avery." Gary frowned. "Didn't you hear him mention that Avery was feeling down? She's feeling that way because of Jed's death.""Let her hate you if that's what she wants. She's powerless, it's not like she can do anything even if she hates you to the bone." The bodyguard laughed. "That goes

After the meeting ended, Mike was naturally worried.Mike would probably be less worried if the executives did not seem so calm.Mike called Chad out for lunch."Not only did they not blame me, they even tried to comfort me. They said that they didn't blame me and I don't have to feel bad," said Mike as he took a swig out of the can of beer in his hand.Chad watched how worried his friend was, he could not help but feel sorry for him, he knew that Mike hadn't gotten a good night's sleep ever since this whole ordeal happened.Even if it was in no way, shape, or form his problem, Mike still decided to shoulder the responsibility."You could call Avery, and see if she has any advice for you? It doesn't matter what she says, you could at least get another opinion on this matter," suggested Chad."She just got out of surgery, there is no way am I going to trouble her now! She also said that it doesn't matter if the company goes bankrupt, she's ready to accept it. I'm the only one who

"I will make sure that she arrives at Aryadale safely, and after she is back in Aryadale, I'll see that she will go for her scheduled check-ups," promised Elliot.The doctor could only give his permission for Avery to leave.Avery felt that she was being pushed around, she could not help but frown at Elliot interfering in her life."Elliot Foster, I'm not leaving," said Avery, as she dragged Elliot by his arm out of the room."I already booked your flight, you are leaving today," said Elliot."I'm not going," said Avery."You have to go. After you leave, I will make sure that they get what they deserve," promised Elliot. Avery could feel something in her throat, there were a billion things she wanted to say to Elliot, but somehow she could not find the courage to say anything.Avery wanted to tell Elliot that she had to end Gary's life personally, only then would she be able to finally rest in peace knowing that Jed had been avenged.However, Avery also knew that she was in n

"Yes, I don't have any preference, you can get anything, just not too much," said Avery.Wesley nodded and left the room.Avery finally felt that she could relax.Avery walked over to the bed and laid down. She turned on her phone and called Mike."I'm now at Bridgedale, I'm not leaving anytime soon," explained Avery."You finally left that hellhole," said Mike."Elliot's still there," said Avery."Still better than the both of you being there. Elliot already has experience dealing with them, he will be fine," replied Mike."How's the company doing?" asked Avery.Mike hadn't told her the exact details of what was happening in the company, that's why Avery was still quite worried.Mike finally told Avery everything that happened. After listening to Mike's report, Avery actually became more optimistic."We still have some new products that have yet to be put into production. If worse comes to worst, we can stop the production of the new products. We have to do everything in ou

Avery also felt that it was quite strange.Avery asked Jed about it at that time, but Jed said that it wouldn't cause her to lose consciousness.Avery trusted him, and she did not notice how much of it he used.Even when Jed told her that she needed to repeat medical imaging, she also believed him, even though she found it to be quite strange.This was why Avery had no answers to William's questions."What was Jed trying to do? With his expertise, he would not commit such a rookie mistake," said William."William, do you actually think that something is wrong with Jed?" asked Avery.Avery could feel a wave of pain emanating from her head.Before the surgery, Avery never felt discomfort. Avery did not believe that Jed would harm her when she was unconscious.But Avery could not justify what Jed did."William, I don't know why he did that, but I'm not feeling any discomfort as of yet. I don't think there's any problem with him," said Avery."Let's start with a full-body check-
