Ivy had been sold off!Her daughter was sold off!She felt much more heartbroken to hear that compared to if she was told that her daughter was dead.Avery began to wonder whom Ivy was sold to after being born, but then realized that the girl would almost certainly suffer regardless of who the buyer was. It was something she could not accept!Nick was very puzzled when she saw tears rolling down like a string of broken beads."Why are you crying? Isn't it good that the child is gone? You and Elliot divorced because of her!"Avery was acting as if Ivy was someone very important to her, and Nick remembered that even Elliot never cried in front of any outsiders because of Ivy."Good? I didn't divorce Elliot because of the child. The child is innocent," Avery said between sobs. She then asked, "Didn't anyone find out where she was sold too? Whether it's in Ylore or another country?""I feel that she might have been sold to another country because we were unable to find her when we

Nick became friends with Avery through Elliot, so it was only natural for Nick not to prioritize what Avery told him.If he listened to Avery rather than telling Elliot about her visit to Ylore, someone else would eventually tell Elliot about it.Nick did not want Elliot to know about it from anyone else!"You went to Bridgedale?" Elliot carried Robert downstairs.Mrs. Cooper immediately took Robert when she heard Elliot's voice.Elliot went upstairs again with his cell phone."Do you think I'd have the energy to go to Bridgedale? I just came back from a business trip, and Avery came before I even managed to get a day of rest!" Nick laughed. "I honestly thought I was dreaming when I woke up this morning and saw her at my house!"Nick deliberately exaggerated how shocked he was at the incident but did not mention a single detail of Avery's purpose for coming to him.Elliot could sense that it was a bit strange, so he lowered his ego and asked in a deep voice, "Why did she come l

Avery could not answer that question because she had never been a member of a criminal gang."You need to show sincerity if you want to join a gang, and by sincerity, I mean doing bad things and proving that you're a bad person." Mike then lowered his voice, "Those old people and women that you see in prison are far from insignificant. Besides, do you genuinely think the goings-on within the gang are kept secret from some people?"Avery could see the logic in his reasoning but seemed a little puzzled. "Why did Nick lie to me, then?""I wouldn't know.""Going by your logic, I would think that Elliot would share the same thoughts too. After all, they were the ones who destroyed the gang," Avery continued to raise her doubts."It's possible that these people are more tight-lipped and refuse to confess!" Mike then summarized, "From my experience, gangs don't keep secrets amongst themselves.""You say that as if you've been in that kind of gang before." Avery noticed that he had finis

Ben erupted in laughter and could not resist slapping the table."I took her word for it and didn't notice anything wrong with it. I even thought to myself that I was let in on a huge secret, but now that you mention that, I realize that I was a little stupid. How rich is 'rich' for Lilith? A hundred and fifty thousand is probably an astronomical sum of money for her."Elliot could sense that Ben was in a good mood from the latter's self-deprecating laugh."You just said that Avery went to Ylore, right? What for? Do tell!" Ben remembered what he wanted to ask and sat upright. "Why did she go to Ylore for no good reason? I don't remember her having any relatives or friends in Ylore!""She wants to find Ivy." Elliot rubbed his eyebrows. "She suspects that Ivy is her child and she wants to do a maternity test.""But..." Ben had a look of disbelief on his face. "Ivy's been missing for three years! Why would she decide to look for Ivy and do a maternity test after so long? To be honest

She dashed towards the hotel. Mike gave chase, but he couldn't catch up with her. She was too fast! When Mike ran to the hotel door, he saw Avery getting into an ambulance! The bodyguard stood behind Mike and asked, "Should we go after her?" "I don't think we can. The ambulance is faster than us." Mike turned around and walked towards the breakfast shop, "There are doctors and policemen inside the ambulance, she will be fine. When she is done, she will come back." "She is starting to get precocious." The bodyguard said, "She hasn't even had her breakfast but still ran like the wind." "She thinks Ivy is still alive. So she wants to find this child quickly." Mike said, "Do you think this child is still alive?" "Of course not!" the bodyguard said firmly, "Well, then again, maybe she is alive. If I am that omniscient, I won't be working as a bodyguard here. I'd be the president." Mike said, "Actually, I hope this child is still alive. If this child is still alive
