Chapter 1780
Avery had changed her itinerary.She booked a flight to Ylore as soon as she saw Jed's email, and she was sitting on the plane at that moment.Tears were streaming down her face as she sat there and looked at the scenery outside the window.The flight attendant called out to her but she did not answer.After a while, another flight attendant came over."Do you need anything, Miss Tate?" The flight attendant asked softly. "Are you feeling unwell? Or..."Avery wiped away her tears and looked at the blanket in the flight attendant's hand. "I'm feeling a little cold. I'll be fine with that blanket.""Okay. Do you need some warm water?" The flight attendant asked while handing her the blanket.She noticed another flight attendant holding a glass of water, so she decided to just tell them, "Thanks."The flight attendant immediately handed her the warm water."The plane will land in another four hours, Miss Tate. If you have any questions during this period, you may call us at any t

Wesley had no choice but to call Mike, and the call got through as soon as he pressed the 'dial' icon."Why can't I get through to Avery?" Wesley asked."I can't either! I sent her to the airport at noon and I haven't been able to contact her since then. Everything was normal when she was at the airport. There's no reason why she'd get off the plane without switching it on!" Mike spent almost the entire day cracking his head open.He planned to fly to her travel destination if he still could not contact her by that night."She received an email from Jed today," Wesley told him about the call from Jed's father. "Didn't she tell you about it?""No! Isn't Jed dead? How can a dead person send her an email? This is just fishy! Who knows if someone faked Jed's account to send her that email?!" Mike entertained the prospect of a conspiracy theory. "Maybe someone tricked her?"Wesley was speechless.He did not share the same views as Mike and believed that Jed might still be alive."I
Chapter 1782
Avery called Mike and gave him that reminder because she knew that Elliot would try and gain custody of Ivy if he caught wind of what was happening.She had not seen Robert for three years, and she did not even know if she would be able to meet him when she returns to Aryadelle.Letting him have custody of Ivy was the last thing she wanted because she feared it might be difficult for her to see Ivy again in the future.Ivy might well be dead, but it was better to have a little hope than to immediately assume that the child was dead.Mike knew what she was thinking.The reason she and Elliot had a divorce was because of Ivy.If she had known since then that Ivy was their child, it might not have set off the domino effect that led to the collapse of everything. It no longer mattered that she found out the truth about Ivy being her child because her relationship with Elliot had long since broken down.After the call ended, Mike went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.

"I remember that you didn't seem to tell me the follow-up to this matter. I thought I had remembered wrongly!" Mike gradually lowered his voice.Avery went to Ylore to find Ivy, and she would not stop until she found the child's whereabouts.It was not that big of a deal if there was concrete news on the child's death. After all, a short and swift pain was much less agonizing than a prolonged period of suffering! Mike's greatest concern was the lack of news and information on Ivy's whereabouts because that would only lead Avery on a wild goose chase.At Ylore, Avery took a taxi to Nick's house after having some rest the previous night.She did not bother calling him because she was staying in a hotel not far from his house.As soon as she arrived, she went to the door of Nick's detached villa and rang the doorbell.The servant in the villa stuck her head out and walked to the courtyard gate when she saw Avery."And you are?" The servant looked at Avery's face and did not immedia

Ivy had been sold off!Her daughter was sold off!She felt much more heartbroken to hear that compared to if she was told that her daughter was dead.Avery began to wonder whom Ivy was sold to after being born, but then realized that the girl would almost certainly suffer regardless of who the buyer was. It was something she could not accept!Nick was very puzzled when she saw tears rolling down like a string of broken beads."Why are you crying? Isn't it good that the child is gone? You and Elliot divorced because of her!"Avery was acting as if Ivy was someone very important to her, and Nick remembered that even Elliot never cried in front of any outsiders because of Ivy."Good? I didn't divorce Elliot because of the child. The child is innocent," Avery said between sobs. She then asked, "Didn't anyone find out where she was sold too? Whether it's in Ylore or another country?""I feel that she might have been sold to another country because we were unable to find her when we

"How has your health been recently?" Avery did not want to continue talking about something so depressing and decided to change the topic."Not well, but not terrible either. At the moment, the doctors in Ylore are still able to meet my medical needs," Nick laughed. "I heard that you've been studying for the past two years... Do you have a doctorate now?""Yes.""Would you like to spend a few more days here? I'll show you around," Nick said. "You're not going to leave after you've just arrived, right?""Sure, if it's not too troublesome for you." Avery then asked, "I'd like to visit the Gould residence.""What's so interesting about them? That house has been vacant for three years after the incident.""Then take me to visit the criminal gang's den. Are any of their people still alive?""You seem to be quite determined to find Ivy." Nick narrowed his shrewd eyes and said, "The felons in that gang are all dead, while those who committed less severe crimes are locked up in prison.
Chapter 1786
Nick became friends with Avery through Elliot, so it was only natural for Nick not to prioritize what Avery told him.If he listened to Avery rather than telling Elliot about her visit to Ylore, someone else would eventually tell Elliot about it.Nick did not want Elliot to know about it from anyone else!"You went to Bridgedale?" Elliot carried Robert downstairs.Mrs. Cooper immediately took Robert when she heard Elliot's voice.Elliot went upstairs again with his cell phone."Do you think I'd have the energy to go to Bridgedale? I just came back from a business trip, and Avery came before I even managed to get a day of rest!" Nick laughed. "I honestly thought I was dreaming when I woke up this morning and saw her at my house!"Nick deliberately exaggerated how shocked he was at the incident but did not mention a single detail of Avery's purpose for coming to him.Elliot could sense that it was a bit strange, so he lowered his ego and asked in a deep voice, "Why did she come l
Chapter 1787
Inside one of Ylore's five-star hotels, Avery had just entered the lobby after parting ways with Nick when she saw Mike sitting on the lobby sofa.Mike saw her and immediately got up."Didn't you see the message I sent you?" Mike waited for her in the lobby for three whole hours. "Let's get something to eat. I'm starving!""I was at the prison. The signal was terrible there." When Avery saw that Mike was still holding his luggage, she asked, "You haven't checked in?""Not yet. You didn't tell me your room number. I want to get a room that's next to yours," Mike said. "Or we could share a presidential suite."Avery took him to the front desk and booked a suite for him and the bodyguard."You two can stay together. I'll stay in my current one.""Are our rooms on the same floor?""Yes."After Mike checked in, he took the luggage to the room and put it there before going to the hotel restaurant for dinner."Why did you go to the prison? I don't think Ivy's in prison, is she?" Mik
