Chapter 1906
Whether it was a photo or video, it would be less clear than seeing it for herself."How long does it take to get there from the hotel?" Avery turned and asked him."At least an hour," Elliot replied."Why did we not look for a hotel near the pit?" Avery thought that the traveling time was too long. Going there and coming back took at least two hours.She was still dealing with the time difference. Her head was dizzy. If she had to sit for another two hours in the car, she was afraid her body would not be able to take it."The bones from the pit will be taken to the hospital in the city center for tests." Elliot had checked up on it before arriving. "The hospital is near the hotel."Avery took her clothes and stood up. "I'll still come with you to have a look!"Since she insisted, he could only give in to her.In Bridgedale, Chad brought Layla and Robert out from the airport.Mike was waiting to pick them up. Looking at the two children, Mike first gave Layla a huge hug before
Chapter 1907
Layla leaned back in the chair. She pouted and complained to Mike, "Uncle Mike, I have a new class teacher. She is Natalie Jennings' cousin. I don't want her to be my teacher.""Natalie Jennings' cousin is an elementary school teacher?" Mike was shocked. "If you don't want her to be your teacher, let Elliot know! Get him to change your teacher."Layla harrumphed coldly. "Daddy has gone far away. I haven't called him yet!""If you don't want to tell your Daddy, then let your Mommy know!" Mike suggested. "They are now together. Telling your Mommy is the same thing as telling your Daddy.'"I'll let her know later! I'm a little hungry.""Hmm. We'll go have some food first."The car arrived at the restaurant. When they passed by the main hall of the restaurant, there was a huge screen in the main hall. The screen was playing a talk show.Chad walked past the screen and heard a familiar voice. He turned back and looked at the screen.Something exploded in his mind. Was that not Wanda

Chad rolled his eyes at Mike. "Can you not talk nonsense in front of the children? We're about to eat. Who are you trying to upset?"Mike immediately shut his mouth."Uncle Chad, Robert and I are no longer three-year-olds," said Layla, reminding Chad of how old she and Robert were. "This evil old hag killed my Grandma. Hayden said that he will get his revenge. I believe Hayden would be able to do so for Grandma."Mike said, "Don't worry, this old hag won't live for much longer."Chad took a deep breath. "Do you think it's suitable to talk like this in front of Robert? Aren't you afraid that you might embed the seed of hatred in Robert's young mind? This isn't great for his mental or physical growth…"Robert blinked his clear eyes. "Uncle Chad, don't worry. I don't understand what you all are talking about."Chad was speechless.Robert did not even know who Grandma was. After all, he had never seen her. Even if he had heard Layla mentioning her before, he had no recollection.In

"Hmm, we've just reached." Elliot took a bottle of water, twisted the cap off, and passed it to Avery.Avery accepted the bottle and drank some water."Do you want to eat something?" Elliot took the desserts he brought over and passed them to her. "I'm afraid you might not be able to eat anything tonight."Avery shook her head, pushed open the car door, and got out of the car.After getting out of the car, she walked forward a little while before seeing the tape all around. Beyond the tape, there were many people busy at work.The pit was in the old cellar of a dilapidated brick house. The cellar had originally been used to store food. No one had expected the crime organization to use it as a burial pit!The brick house was dilapidated with tall weeds obscuring it. On the ground, there were many skeletons. Some were complete and others were not. Avery stood by the cordon tape, looking at the scene in front of her. Her eyes could not help but turn wet.She thought of how Ivy wo

During dinner, the bodyguard came to knock on the door.Elliot opened the door."Mr. Foster, do you want to have dinner now or later? Do you want to go to the restaurant to eat or order room service?" The bodyguard asked."Why don't you all go ahead and eat first!" Elliot said.Avery's bodyguard stood by the door and looked inside. "Where is Miss Tate?""She has locked herself in her room." Elliot had wanted to enter her room a few times to look for her, but he did not dare to do so.When her bodyguard heard that, he immediately entered the presidential suite. "How could she not eat! No one said that Ivy is dead! What is she doing!"The bodyguard entered and realized that the suite was like a maze. There were too many rooms. He did not know which room Avery was in.Elliot's bodyguard had wanted to drag Avery's bodyguard out of the room. He could not believe the man had entered the suit without Elliot's permission. However, Elliot gave him a look, asking him to not move.At t
Chapter 1911
The good thing that had come out of that was that their sacrifice had paid off. After Natalie graduated, every job she got was better than the last. Her salary had gradually increased from a normal person's salary to an exorbitant one.Then, she became the executive of Tate Industries. On top of her salary, she even got a huge annual bonus. Leah's father was in business. Their family had always done well. It was just too bad that Leah did not have a head for business. She had always wanted to become a teacher, but a teacher's salary could not compete with that of an executive's. Leah was not envious of Natalie earning more than her. She was just curious about Natalie's capabilities."I can get you out. It's just about spending money," Natalie said. "I also spent quite some money contacting you. The main issue now is not about money. It is also not about whether I can get you out. Since I found a way of contacting you, I'm sure I can help you leave Ylore…"The voice on the othe

Leah cleared her throat and said, "Natalie, I'm a little thirsty. Do you have any water here?"Natalie immediately went to get her some water."I only drink bottled water." Natalie passed a bottle to her. "I usually boil it before drinking, but it's fine to drink it directly too.""Oh. Natalie, you're so sophisticated." Leah looked at the brand of the water bottle. It was a high-end brand."I just like the taste of this water better. My skincare products are cheap, but that's also because I'm used to them, so I have never changed them," Natalie said pleasantly. "Drink up.""Oh…" Leah twisted open the cap of the water bottle, drank some water, and calmed down a little. "Natalie, I only heard a little. When I took the sip of water, I forgot everything. Perhaps because what I heard was nothing worth remembering…"Natalie closely observed her cousin's face, trying to determine the truth of her words."Natalie, I'm a little scared of you looking at me like that. Were you on an import
Chapter 1913
"Hmm. They seemed to have passed away when you were young.""My grandfather passed away when I was four. My grandmother was grief-stricken when my grandfather passed away. She was in so much pain and grief it caused all sorts of chronic diseases to flare up in her body. She died painfully in the end." Avery's eyes turned wet when she said that. "Before they died, they were still protecting our family, so we weren't in such a tough spot. After they left, Wanda started getting brazen.""How did your grandfather die?" Elliot looked at Avery's eyes, heartbroken.Seeing the tears in her eyes, his hand reached out reflexively. Avery pushed his hand away and wiped her tears. "My grandfather suddenly fell and hurt his brain. He could not be resuscitated. I remembered it clearly. Back then, my father brought me to the hospital to see my grandfather one last time. I wanted so badly to treat him and keep him with me so that he would look after me.""Avery, don't be sad. Your grandparents ar
