Hayden held Layla’s hand as the two of them stood unmoving in the front yard. Their stern expressions were in complete contrast with the bright sun shining down on them.
“Do you think Elyette Foster will take us to go find Mommy, Hayden?”
Layla’s eyes were still swollen from crying all night.
Hayden responded in a cold voice, “If he won’t take us, then he will be dead to us from now on.
Elyette and Shea emerged from the mansion the moment Hayden finished his sentence.
Father and son met eyes, but Hayden averted his gaze in disgust.
He was still a minor and could not get on a plane without a guardian.
Otherwise, he definitely would not show up here!
He just wanted to go to Bridgedale as soon as possible, and be closer to his mother.
“Hayden! Layla! Big Brother agreed to take us to Bridgedale!” Shea ran over to the children and chirped, “We’ll see Averie soon!”
In Bridgedale, Averie was approached by two men the moment she stepped out of the airport.
They were dressed in black suits and drove a black Buik.
Mike took a photo of the car’s license plate from afar. They could not act rashly and startle the enemy before they rescued Wesley.
The black Buik disappeared very quickly into traffic.
Mike saw the countless messages from Chad on hisza phone.
Chad answered soon after Mike dialed his number.
“My boss took Shea and the kids on his private jet over to Bridgedale.”
Mike raised his brows, then massaged his temples and said, “One would think he’s coming over on vacation!”
“Save the mockery, will you? How could the two of you do that last night? You abandoned Mr. Foster by himself at the airport!” Chad was furious. “I can’t figure out why a good man like him continues to cling to someone as troublesome as Averie Tate!”
“Say what you want, but why are you insulting Averie?!” Mike was also livid. “She’s already upset enough that Wesley was abducted because of her. This is Bridgedale, not Aryadelle. This isn’t Elyette Foster’s territory! Wouldn’t taking him along be sending them both to their deaths?!”
Chad took in a cold breath.
“To their deaths?! Are things that bad?”
“Someone send her a bloody, severed finger! It was Wesley’s finger!”
Mike did not tell Chad about this because he was afraid that Elyette would stop them from leaving once he found out.
“F*ck! What did Wesley get himself into?!”
“What kind of trouble could someone as strait-laced as Wesley get into? The one they want is Averie.” Mike hailed a cab by the street, then said, “That’s why you shouldn’t blame her. She’s suffering more than anybody else right now.”
“Why?!” Chad’s mind was in a mess. “Why did they have to use Wesley to get to Averie? Couldn’t they have just gone straight to her?”
Mike realized at that moment that he could no longer hide the truth.
“It’s because Averie is Professor James Hough’s last pupil. Apart from the professor, Wesley and me, practically nobody else knows about this.”
Chad was dumbfounded.
“How did you know about it?! It’s not like you’re in the same line as them!”
“Averie was the one who operated on me.”
Mike’s explanation made Chad instantly understand why he was so devoted to Averie.
“Back when Elyette Foster was trying to cure Shea, didn’t he also hire private investigators to find the professor’s last pupil? The people who abducted Wesley just used more despicable methods to do the same thing,” Mike said.
Chad was in disbelief.
He never expected Professor James Hough’s last pupil to be Averie Tate!
Elyette’s search for the last pupil cost him a fortune, but still came up empty!
Who would have thought that the person they were looking for was right under their noses?
The entire thing was a satirical joke!
The black Buik traveled for over an hour before coming to a halt.
Averie was blindfolded, so she did not know where she was.
She was dragged out of the car by a man dressed in a black suit. After walking for about three minutes, her blindfold was taken off.
Standing in front of her was a grand, white mansion.
The mansion was built on top of a mountain. There were not many trees on the mountain, and there was a cliff not too far away.
It was an extremely dangerous place.
It was almost certain that the owner of the mansion was also a dangerous figure.
“Please take off your clothes, Miss Tate!” said an unfamiliar voice. Averie turned to look at the source of the voice with a furious expression.
A white-haired man with a child-like face entered Averie’s line of vision.
“Are you the one who abducted Wesley?!” Averie demanded with clenched fists.
The man simply smiled softly, then said to the two women next to him, “Help Miss Tate change her clothes.”
“Don’t touch me!” Averie snapped, raising her guard up. “Why do I need to change?!”
“What if you’re hiding some kind of weapon or drugs in your clothes, Miss Tate?” said one of the women with a smile. “Don’t worry. We will wash your clothes and return them to you.”
Averie snatched the clothes out of the woman’s arms and said, “I’ll change myself!”
“Please change right here, Miss Tate,” said the woman while maintaining the friendly smile on her face.
“How am I supposed to change here?!”
Averie stared in shock at the bodyguards and the white-haired man that surrounded her.
How was she supposed to change her clothes in front of all these men?
The news of a Baystream G650 private jet leaving the airport of the country’s capital that morning made headlines inza Aryadelle.
There were less than ten wealthy people in the entire country who owned Baystream G650 private jets.
This was the reason the news quickly went viral online and attracted the gossip of many users.
Wanda sipped her cup of tea, then chuckled and said, “It was probably Elyette Foster. Only three people in the city own a Baystream G650. From what I’ve heard, the other two jets are parked at another airport. Elyette Foster’s jet is the only one parked at the capital’s airport. Hahaha!”
Zoe was also in a good mood.
She had felt uneasy after Averie found out about her relationship with Cole.
However, Averie was now walking into the lion’s den, and there was no guarantee that she would walk out with her life!
“Well done this time, Zoe,” Wanda praised. “If we want to get rid of Averie Tate, then we need to make her leave Aryadelle. Elyette Foster holds too much power here, after all. As long as he cares about Averie, there’s nothing we can do to her!”
This was the important matter that Zoe had visited Bridgedale with Cole for back then.
After living in Bridgedale for many years, her connections in the country surpassed Averie’s.
The white-haired, child-like man was a troublesome figure in Bridgedale.
He was infamous for being a vile man, but he was also ridiculously wealthy!
He was rich enough to be good buddies with the politicians in the country. Nobody could touch him in Bridgedale.
When Zoe went to see him, she sold him information on Averie and received a large payment!
“There’s no way Averie’s getting out of this mess.” Zoe picked up her cup of tea, and happily took a sip.
“Are you certain?” Wanda wanted Averie dead, but she was afraid that she would get lucky.” Elyette Foster’s on his way to Bridgedale now, and Mike isn’t easy to deal with… If they worked together, would they be able to save her? Although, they would have to cough up a fortune…”
Zoe let out a cold chuckle and said, “David Grimes is a psychopath.”
Wanda was surprised, then said, “A psychopath? Didn’t you say he wanted to find Averie so that she could treat his daughter’s illness? Even if he is a psychopath, I doubt he’d give Averie trouble if she manages to save his daughter.”
Zoe’s smile grew even wider as she said, “Averie can’t save his daughter!”
“We’ve basically confirmed that Averie is James Hough’s last pupil, and that her medical skills are beyond his. How can you be so sure that she can’t cure David Grimes’s daughter?!”
Zoe’s eyes filled with tears from laughing so hard.
“I’m telling you she can’t save her! Hahahaha! Unless she’s a god!”.
