Chapter 1920
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

At the hotel in the evening, the bodyguards could not reach their bosses. They were anxious, panicking in the hotel lobby."It's already so late, could it be that they are already back?" Avery's bodyguard wondered aloud. "Just like how they left this morning without telling us?"Elliot's bodyguard furrowed his brows and pondered this for a while before saying, "Why don't we head up to their suite to have a look?""Okay."The bodyguards took the lift to the suite.Much to their surprise, the door to the suite had a 'Do Not Disturb' sign hanging on it."Damn! I was correct!" Avery's bodyguard exclaimed. "Both of them are back! I'm guessing they are resting."Elliot's bodyguard looked at the sign and nodded. "Then, let's go have dinner.""Okay! Since they didn't look for us, that means they don't need us for the time being."The bodyguards walked to the lift while chatting."I wonder what they did today.""Who knows! They are being mysterious and not letting us follow them. I w
Chapter 1925
In the underground cellar on the outskirts of the city, upon realizing that the entrance they used had been sealed shut, Elliot and Avery had found another exit to the houses above.The only problem was that this door had been locked from the outside. They could not open it at all.When they realized that they could not leave, they immediately took their phones, planning to call for help.However, there could not get a signal.They knew what a tough situation they were in."Why would Holly do this?" Avery leaned on Elliot's shoulder and said in a low voice. "Just because I lied to her at the hospital?""I don't think so. Someone must have helped her." Elliot's tone turned cold. "There are only two possibilities. That the crime organization was not wiped off completely, so there are others aside from Holly who escaped and want to kill us to seek revenge for the rest of them who were placed on the death penalty; or that Holly has been bought off by someone.""I think the latter is

"I've never stopped loving you," he confessed without hesitation. "When we fight, and you refuse to listen to me, I might resent you for a time, but I'll always forget about it in the end."A lump formed in Avery's throat at his words. She wanted to say something but was not sure what to say."Avery, I'm not pursuing you again simply because I want to give our children a complete home. It's quite the opposite, actually.""Say no more, Elliot." Her eyes glittered with unshed tears, and she suppressed her urge to sob. She had a lot of questions for him, but she realized that none of them mattered any longer."Avery, there are a lot of things that I want to ask you, too," he said, hoping that he would die knowing all the answers he had been craving for."I won't ask you anything, so you shouldn't ask me any questions, either," she said. "If you think that's not fair, I can answer one question.""Sure." Elliot considered what question he wanted to ask."Elliot, I love you, too." Ave

"I can't get Mom on the phone either." Hayden did not proceed to try calling Elliot. If Layla could not reach him, there was no point in him trying."What time is it in Ylore right now? Could they be sleeping?" Layla asked.Hayden checked the time and said, "Probably not. It's just eight at night in Ylore.""Oh... Let me call their bodyguards to ask." Layla searched for the bodyguard's contact on her phone and called him. The bodyguard answered right away."Uncle, Robert wants to call Dad but he's not answering the call," Layla said."Did you try calling your mom? They stay together.""I did, but she won't answer her phone either." Layla glanced at Robert. "Robert insists that he needs to video-call Dad. Why have they both turned off their phones?"The bodyguard blushed. "Layla, you want your parents to get back together, right? They are both resting in the same room right now... So I can't disturb them."Layla was slightly taken aback. "Are they going to bed this early?""The
