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

Avery could not answer that question because she had never been a member of a criminal gang."You need to show sincerity if you want to join a gang, and by sincerity, I mean doing bad things and proving that you're a bad person." Mike then lowered his voice, "Those old people and women that you see in prison are far from insignificant. Besides, do you genuinely think the goings-on within the gang are kept secret from some people?"Avery could see the logic in his reasoning but seemed a little puzzled. "Why did Nick lie to me, then?""I wouldn't know.""Going by your logic, I would think that Elliot would share the same thoughts too. After all, they were the ones who destroyed the gang," Avery continued to raise her doubts."It's possible that these people are more tight-lipped and refuse to confess!" Mike then summarized, "From my experience, gangs don't keep secrets amongst themselves.""You say that as if you've been in that kind of gang before." Avery noticed that he had finis

"Oh, he must be quite old, right? Is he married? Single? Do you have a future with him? You're still young. This is the time to give your all for your career and—""I'm single, Mr. Griffith," Ben interrupted and walked over. "Lilith and I are in a serious relationship. We're going to get married."Howie looked at Lilith in disbelief when Ben said that."You should get to work! I'll go home by myself later and you don't have to pick me up!" Lilith sent Ben away.After Ben left, Lilith walked up to Howie and said, "Howie...""Stop! I don't want to hear it!" Howie did not look pleased. "Your boyfriend is rich, so does that mean you're working just to pass the time?""No. I'm in a relationship with him, but I'm not sure if we'll get married in the future! I don't know what's going to happen in the future, so I think it'd be better to depend on myself rather than relying on a man. If you get any jobs are that suitable for me, please just go ahead and arrange them for me. I'm not afrai

Ben erupted in laughter and could not resist slapping the table."I took her word for it and didn't notice anything wrong with it. I even thought to myself that I was let in on a huge secret, but now that you mention that, I realize that I was a little stupid. How rich is 'rich' for Lilith? A hundred and fifty thousand is probably an astronomical sum of money for her."Elliot could sense that Ben was in a good mood from the latter's self-deprecating laugh."You just said that Avery went to Ylore, right? What for? Do tell!" Ben remembered what he wanted to ask and sat upright. "Why did she go to Ylore for no good reason? I don't remember her having any relatives or friends in Ylore!""She wants to find Ivy." Elliot rubbed his eyebrows. "She suspects that Ivy is her child and she wants to do a maternity test.""But..." Ben had a look of disbelief on his face. "Ivy's been missing for three years! Why would she decide to look for Ivy and do a maternity test after so long? To be honest

"There's a fire," Avery said, immediately running outside with Mike. Other guests on the same floor also came out of their rooms. Due to the power outage, the elevator was unavailable, and everyone had to leave through the emergency access. Fortunately, there was no crowding. When everyone descended to the first floor in an orderly manner, they smelled a burning smell. "It's a fire on the first floor." Avery took Mike out of the hotel, and after breathing in the fresh air, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It started in the restaurant we ate in last night." Mike sighed and coughed a few times, "Fortunately, it didn't happen during our meal last night. That would've been scary!" Avery said, "If the cause of the fire wasn't arson, the fire safety protocols of the hotel would need to be questioned." "I was sleepy at first, but now I am completely awake." Mike said and looked at Avery, "Aren't these the clothes you wore last night? Didn't you take a bath last night?"

She dashed towards the hotel. Mike gave chase, but he couldn't catch up with her. She was too fast! When Mike ran to the hotel door, he saw Avery getting into an ambulance! The bodyguard stood behind Mike and asked, "Should we go after her?" "I don't think we can. The ambulance is faster than us." Mike turned around and walked towards the breakfast shop, "There are doctors and policemen inside the ambulance, she will be fine. When she is done, she will come back." "She is starting to get precocious." The bodyguard said, "She hasn't even had her breakfast but still ran like the wind." "She thinks Ivy is still alive. So she wants to find this child quickly." Mike said, "Do you think this child is still alive?" "Of course not!" the bodyguard said firmly, "Well, then again, maybe she is alive. If I am that omniscient, I won't be working as a bodyguard here. I'd be the president." Mike said, "Actually, I hope this child is still alive. If this child is still alive

"I will bring it to you before nightfall." She promised to give her what she wanted, "But now you must tell me where my daughter Ivy is. It would be better if you gave me more detailed information." "I don't know much." The woman answered quickly, "I just heard them talk about it, saying that this child was Elliot's daughter... It should be the child you mentioned." "Yes, I think so." Avery came to her side and asked, "Where was she sold to?" The attending doctor saw that the arsonist on the hospital bed opened her lips and gave Avery an answer. Avery seemed relieved after getting the answer. She turned around and walked toward the attending doctor. The two came out of the ward. Without waiting for the doctor in charge to ask, Avery asked, "Is euthanasia legal in the country?" The attending doctor was stunned for a moment. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Does she want to be euthanized?" Avery nodded. "She doesn't want to go to jail and just wants to die
Chapter 1794
"Mike, even if anyone brings Ivy to me safely, the custody must still be given to Elliot. I won't complain about that." Avery's main concern was Ivy, not about her custody. "Since you said that, we can join forces with Elliot to find her! The more, the merrier." Mike put forward his own suggestion, "After all, Aryadelle is Elliot's territory." "I think he should have looked for her in Aryadelle before. He cares about this child very much." Avery put the change in her purse, turned, and walked towards the hotel door, "Let's go back to Aryadelle first. We can find him if we need any help in the future." In the hospital, at Avery's request, the doctor injected a small dose of sleeping pills into the arsonist. The arsonist quickly fell asleep. In the evening, she woke up and was stunned by what she saw! Wasn't she supposed to be dead? Why was she alive? She wanted to move, but the burns on her body hurt severely. She was not dreaming! She really didn't die! Avery
