"I know, Mommy. One of my classmates invited me to her birthday party a few days ago but I said no. I've been in a bad mood because both you and Daddy are gone, so I don't feel like going out to play. I come home right after school every day so I'm safe. Don't worry about me," Layla said sweetly. She knew that Avery was exhausted from trying to find Elliot and she did not want to cause Avery any more worry."I know you are a good girl. Your dad and I have put you through so much when you shouldn't have to face something like this," Avery said sorrowfully. "Once I find your dad, I will try talking Hayden into moving back with us. After that, we are never going to part as a family ever again.""Yay! I'm so happy that you said that, Mommy."Avery started chuckling at the sight of the overjoyed expression on Layla's face.After the call, she turned around and noticed that the doctor was standing behind her with his briefcase. She cleared her throat awkwardly and asked, "When did you ar

After making up her mind, she made a call to her mother."Natalie, are you okay? You haven't picked up your calls for the past two days, and I'm about to lose my mind!" Mrs. Jennings said anxiously. "I can't reach you, so I could only call Dean. It's only after he told me you are fine that I could finally get some sleep.""I'm just in a really bad mood, Mom! I hope you understand." Natalie picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip of liquor. "Have you called Auntie?""Yeah. I told her what happened to you. She tried calling Leah but Leah hasn't been answering her call." Mrs. Jennings sighed. "It could really be Leah who told Avery about you. How could she? How could she tell an outsider something so important? Does she not know that this could get you killed?!""Why are you still speaking like you are on her side, Mom? She's going to get me killed and you are still siding with her?! She's not a child. She's an adult in her twenties now! She knew what she was doing and knew

"Avery, how are you?""Good. Why are you here all of a sudden?" Avery asked. "We are close, and soon, we will find Elliot.""You've done well. I came because you are certain that Elliot is here. Besides, Natalie could be hiding here as well. I feel disgusted whenever I think of what she's done." Ben scowled. "She signed a contract with Elliot, so I can wait. Once Elliot walks free, he will deal with her!"Avery nodded. "When did you arrive?""I arrived at two in the morning and went to the hotel to rest for a bit. I figured you would be awake around this time and came over." Ben looked her up and down. "I heard that you were injured. Are you okay?""Much better now. I'm fine." Avery glanced at the kitchen.The nanny was waiting inside and noticed Avery's gaze. "Breakfast is ready."Avery turned to look at Ben. "Have you eaten?""I did at the hotel, but I can eat more." Ben walked with her to the dining room. "Is Hayden at school? Mike's still sleeping, huh?""Probably. Mike ha

After breakfast, Avery returned to her room to change, and by the time she came out, Mike had already woken up and was chatting with Ben."Mike, Ben will be going out with me today. You can stay home and rest," she walked over and said to Mike.Mike scratched his head. "I rested last night.""If you don't want to stay home, you can go to the office! I've promised Ben he can come," she said and turned to look at Ben. "Let's go!"Mike saw them off. "Let me know first thing if there are any updates!""Alright! You should stay home and rest. You look horrible!" Avery went into the car and glanced at Mike before closing the door."Do you know me at all? I have dark circles even after I sleep... Wait, these are more like eye bags." Mike closed the car door for her and commanded ten of the bodyguards to follow them.Once Ben and Avery left, he returned to the house and enjoyed his breakfast, before driving to the office.In the Dream Maker office, Mike parked his car in the undergroun

"I saw this person in a lot of Dean's photos on the internet," Hayden said. "Which means that he must know a lot of Dean's secrets. I found him and offered him money in exchange for the confession.""That must have cost a fortune, right? Dean is a formidable force in Bridgedale and his former bodyguard wouldn't be moved to betray him in exchange for a small payment. Once this video gets out, Dean will hunt him down and kill him."Mike had guessed correctly."I helped his family escape and paid him a fortune that would allow his family to live like kings and queens overseas," Hayden said."Big H, you've gone radio silent for the past few days and this is what you've been doing? You are the man! You are brilliant!" Mike was impressed."I'm not going to forgive him for what he did to my mom." He shut his laptop and asked, "Where's my mom? Why aren't you with her today?""Ben is here and he's with your mom today." Mike sat down on a chair beside Hayden. "I wonder if they could get so
Chapter 2056
Ben attempted to get close enough to eavesdrop, but Avery and Professor Greens were whispering to one another. Even when Avery appeared to be frustrated and miserable, her voice remained contained out of fear that she would disturb others in the bookstore.Failing terribly at eavesdropping, Ben returned to his original position and took out his phone to take a picture of Avery and Professor Greens, before sending it to Mike.[Guess I'm the third wheel here.]Mike replied. [Hahahaha!][Judging from the look on Avery's face, things are quite bad.][Can Elliot be dead?][You shut your mouth!][You are the one who said it looks bad...][She just seems a bit frustrated.][You just haven't spent enough time with her lately. She is always frustrated.][Oh! I guess I am overthinking then.][Something fun is about to happen later today.][Fun? Where?][You are so nosy! Focus on keeping Avery company instead of trying to have fun!][???][Let me know what Avery and that professor

Dean narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the video."I've worked beside Dean Jennings for fifteen years. I quit my job two years ago and returned home due to a severe injury. For the past year or so, I've been tormented, and every time I close my eyes, I'm haunted by countless spirits that died in vain because of him... Throughout the fifteen years, I've worked for him, I've killed a total of eighteen people, including his lovers and children. Of course, those children aren't really his children. Dean Jennings tells the world that they were his children to cover up the fact that he had long lost the ability to make children!""Baam!"Dean threw Sebastian's phone onto the ground, but the video was still playing."Eighteen lives, gone, simply because he wanted them gone. He had more bodyguards under his command killed… Even Dean Jennings himself must have lost track on how many women and children died because of him.""B*st*rd! Shut up! Shut up!" Dean barked and stomped ferocio

Dean's mood instantly lightened. The money he spent was only meant to ward off bad luck, and he could always earn more again.Meanwhile, after chatting with Professor Greens, Avery stepped out of the bookstore wordlessly and locked herself inside her bedroom after arriving home.Ben tried a few times to ask what had happened, but he could not bring himself to actually ask the question. Once he got Avery home, he called Mike and told him to hurry home.When Mike hurried home, he went to knock on Avery's door but did not dare to intrude when she did not respond.In the evening, Ben urged Mike to get Avery. "Go tell her to come out for dinner!"Mike shook his head. "I don't dare to. I think Elliot might be dead. Why else would she stay quiet the whole time?""You keep saying that! I'm really going to get upset!""Then go ask her! What's the point of shouting at me?" Mike shoved Ben toward Avery's bedroom door. "You probably won't be able to eat if you don't ask her."Ben took a de
