"By the way, didn't you mention that Elliot pays you every month? Is he still doing so?"The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know! My wife manages my bank account.""Whatever. It's not that important. I should give you a bonus once we get back." Avery realized that her bodyguard had not rested and had even sacrificed his time with his family. She decided that she was going to reward him with a big bonus once they got back."Now that I know that, I won't dare force you to return to Aryadelle," the bodyguard teased."Let's just eat! Once we find Hayden, I will consider going back to Aryadelle with him."Though their plans had upset Avery, she was greatly inspired by them. She was not in great danger at the moment, and she did not want to endanger herself in the future. She could not drag her bodyguard and Jed down with her.At the same time, Christopher was having dinner at home. His new phone was working just fine earlier, but by the time he was done, he picked

"We will see when she comes back! She might not love money that much, but she still cares a lot about Tate Industries. Her father left her this company right before he passed away, so she is definitely going to be really sad if Tate Industries goes bankrupt."In Ylore, Christopher had not slept for the whole night.At midnight, he fulfilled his promise and killed a servant with his own hands.If he had to suffer, everyone at home would have to suffer with him. He stayed awake until morning and as he stared at the time slipping away from the timer, he came up with a plan.The hacker had to be in Ylore. Christopher knew that his enemy was hidden in the dark while he was an easy target out in the open. He simply had to comb through the information of people that arrived into Ylore in the past few days to narrow down his search.At noon, his bodyguard delivered a big pile of documents to Christopher."Mr. Gould, here is the information sent by the airport. I have categorized them by

Avery did not think that that was a good solution, but there was no other way to hide Hayden. She would not feel safe hiding Hayden anywhere else. At least with Elliot, she could be less concerned. However, there was also Ruby to worry about..."If Elliot told you to send Hayden over, it means that he has reached an agreement with Ruby," said her bodyguard, consoling her. "The women here in Ylore are quite traditional. They are taught to obey their husbands, and most women would have to take their husbands' family names. Had Ruby not been the lady of the Gould family, she would have had to change her surname as well."Avery scowled, "But I can't find Hayden!""Have you tried calling him?""I called him, and his phone was out of service.""Try again, maybe?"Avery immediately unlocked her phone and called Hayden, and this time, he picked up.Once the call was answered, Avery said in excitement, "Hayden! Where are you right now? Christopher already knows that you are here and is s

"You don't know the answer," laughed Avery. "So you still don't remember me. I'm still glad, though, that your attitude towards me has improved so much even if you don't remember me. If I continue to stay here, you will fall in love with me once again.""Avery, is this the right time to talk about this?""What else should we talk about? About you and Ruby Gould?" Avery was on the verge of a mental breakdown. "She is so obedient to you that I feel like her love for you rivals my love."Are you enjoying this? You are out having fun, and you are able to keep your family at the same time," she said sarcastically. "If this carries on, sometime soon… I will give up."Elliot tightened his fingers around the phone."I will wait until the end of this month, at most. If you insist on remaining in Ylore, I will give up. You won't have to fight for over custody of the children, since your wife is very young. I'm sure she will be willing to bear you a dozen children," she said, giving him her

Ruby furrowed her brows and asked, "Why are you not asleep yet? It's almost one. Do you always stay up late?"Then, she walked over to the desk.Hayden hesitated for two seconds, debating on whether he should power off his laptop or not. In the end, he decided not to.Ruby had not even graduated college. After she had married Elliot, she had decided to simply drop out of college and stay home.Also, Ruby majored in philosophy. She did not have the expertise to understand the lines of code on the computer screen. "Who got you to come?" Hayden asked Ruby."I… I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that you were taken away by my brother," said Ruby, lying. "So I came over to check on you.""So, are you hoping that I was taken away by your brother or the other way around?" Hayden asked. "If your brother takes me away, Elliot will become the Goulds' puppet, and he will do whatever you ask of him."Ruby was speechless. She never thought that Hayden would say such a thing."Although
