Avery sighed a little. She wanted to explain the situation to Layla, but Elliot spoke instead."Layla, your Mommy doesn't want to stay in the same room with me, but I insisted on her staying with me because the security isn't great here. I'm afraid that your Mommy might be in danger…""I think you're the biggest danger there." Layla did not give Elliot any face.Elliot instantly blushed. He could sense the change in his daughter. When Layla was not with Hayden, she would not be so merciless.Avery could not help but smile. She walked over to the sofa and sat down."What are you all doing?""We're just… having fun!" Layla took the phone and changed the camera to the back camera. Mike and Chad appeared on screen.They were sitting together at a side, talking amongst themselves.Layla had changed the camera to face them, but they still had not noticed."Chad, thank you for taking Robert and Layla to Bridgedale. Did they cause you any trouble on the way there?" Avery said politely

After washing up, Avery got out of her room.The next-door room door was closed tightly. Elliot should still be asleep. Avery decided to head down to have some breakfast. Just when she was by the door about to head out, Elliot's room door opened. He was properly dressed, looking fresh. He walked over to her."Why are you up so early?" Avery asked in surprise."Aren't you up too?" He followed her out of the door. "Look at your eyebags. Did you not sleep last night?""No, I slept, but I kept having nightmares," she said and covered her mouth to yawn. "Let's go and see that person after breakfast!"Elliot looked at her sleepy face. He said, "Do you want to try catching up on some sleep after breakfast? It might be easier for you to sleep during the day.""Is there a scientific basis to this?""None," Elliot said. "Or take some medicine?""I don't have trouble sleeping. I don't need medicine." Avery rejected his offer. "Don't rely on medicine too much. They are part poison.""Bu

Avery pulled Elliot aside and said in a low voice, "I've met her before. The last time I came to Ylore, she was the one who told me that Ivy had been sold to someone in Aryadelle.""There is no evidence that indicates that Ivy has been sold to someone in Aryadelle. She might have been lying to you," Elliot replied in a low voice."Why would she lie to me? Since she knows about the pit, that means that she knows about a lot of other things…" At that, Avery suddenly said, "I think she noticed me. She told me about Ivy, and in exchange, I was supposed to give her pills that she could use to kill herself, but I didn't do it in the end. She must hate me."Elliot looked at that woman. Sure enough, the woman was looking at Avery with a loathsome expression."Why don't you go out? I'll talk to her," Elliot said to Avery."Okay, see what you can do about it. If she is not willing to say anything, forget about it," Avery only said that because she thought that she had already gotten the ans

The woman pondered for a while before stating her request.Coming out of the detention center, Elliot received a call from his bodyguard.Avery walked to the side and took her phone out. She saw missed calls and messages from her bodyguard.Before arriving at the detention center that morning, she put her phone on silent mode.When she got out of the detention center, she put her phone back into normal mode and returned her bodyguard's call."Miss Tate! Where are you? You were not answering my calls or replying to my messages! I was worried sick!" The bodyguard was so worried he sweated profusely. He was pacing around the hotel lobby with Elliot's bodyguard."Don't worry. We just came out to do something," Avery explained to her bodyguard. "We got up earlier today, so we didn't call you two.""How could you two do that? Where are you right now? We'll meet you there," the bodyguard said.Avery hesitated for a while before refusing his offer.At the same time, Elliot had already

Avery and Elliot had already discussed the matter that afternoon. To prevent the woman from taking any actions apart from their agreed plan, Avery would drive while Elliot guarded the woman.The woman's hands and legs were cuffed. It was unlikely that she would do anything beyond their control.After they entered the car, Avery asked, "Now, can you tell us the address?""Have you two been to the pit?" the woman asked."Yes." Elliot's face darkened. "Are you saying that Ivy's in the pit?"Avery's hands clutched the steering wheel tighter. Her ears perked up, waiting for the woman's answer."No. She's on the other side," the woman replied with determination. "Drive over there. Once you're nearby, I'll guide you." Since the journey was long, Elliot said to Avery, "Why don't I drive!""No need. I can drive." Avery pulled up the GPS on her phone and started driving. The atmosphere in the car was eerily quiet.Avery felt a little suffocated as if someone was choking her. "Is my

"Why did you come so far to look for a job?" Elliot suppressed his grief. He was afraid that if he looked too sad, it would affect Avery."My family forced me to marry an old man. I was not willing to do it… so I escaped. Back then, I was just thinking of running as far away as I could, so I came all the way here. It's a bustling city. There are many job opportunities…" Holly did not continue further.Elliot's gaze no longer had murderous intent.Holly secretly let out a sigh. She considered herself safe for the time being. She did not want to reveal too much of her past to them. These were her wounds. Telling people meant that she was showing them their wounds.Avery listened to them chatting occasionally. Her heart was empty, yet it was also painful.Actually, she had long prepared for the worst. Now, she had received the confirmation of the worst. An hour later, the car arrived at the first pit."Continue ahead. There will be a fork, and you need to take the path to the righ

Holly turned back and smiled at Elliot and Avery."Look at the row of houses. Don't they look like a prison?"Elliot and Avery re-examined the houses. Since the rooms were surrounded by weeds, they had not looked at the houses closely.At that moment, when they got a closer look, they noticed that the houses were indeed not like ordinary houses.An ordinary house would have doors and windows, but the houses in front of them had no doors."I'll take you two over. You will get lost otherwise." Holly quickly walked forward. Elliot and Avery followed her closely.There was a huge door on the ground." Holly took them around to the main entrance.The main entrance was at the side of the house. It was a door made of steel.Elliot grabbed the doorknob. He wanted to open the door but could not do it.It was locked. They needed a key."Don't worry. There is another entrance," Holly said calmly. "The other entrance is to enter from the ground.""An underground entrance?" Avery sounded

Avery's words moved him.She said that, if they were together, they could care for each other.Holly walked for a while. She could not help but turn around and look in the direction of Elliot and Avery. They seemed to have already gone down into the cellar.Holly stopped in her tracks. She smiled an evil, triumphant smile.'Elliot Foster and Avery Tate, your time has come!'"Who would have thought that the legendary business tycoon would die so easily in my hands! Hehehe!" Holly giggled to herself. A while later, a helicopter appeared in the skies.On the ground, a group of men in black appeared. The men ran straight to the well.Holly looked over delightedly. "Cover it up! That way they can't escape!" Holly instructed the men in black after walking over to them. "There is no water or food down there. They will starve to death in three days! Hahaha!"The men in black were long ready.The well cover was welded shut in no time.The helicopter behind them slowly came to a ha
