“‘Why do you think it’s called the darknet?
That’s because it’s filled with all kinds of criminal activity… I don’t think you have the mental capacity for it!” Mike teased.
Chad’s mental capacity was not as bad as Mike said.
After all, he was Elyette Foster’s right hand man.
He’s been through thick and thin with Elyette, so how could he possibly get frightened easily?
“You’ll know what I mean when you see it.”
The two of them entered the room, and Chad sat Mike down in front of the computer.
Mike glanced at the information on the monitor… To be exact, his back broke into a cold sweat after he saw the photo on the screen!
It was a photo of Laura Jensen.
Laura was Averie’s biological mother.
She passed away two years ago, so what was her photo doing on the darknet website?
Could it be…
Mike’s hand tightened around his mouse as his pale blue eyes turned cold.
He finished reading the information on the screen and gritted his teeth.
“It’s scary, right?
This user named Lilo wants to buy a middle-aged woman who looks like Laura Jensen.
What does she want to do with her?
I bet she’ll use it against Averie!” Chad drew a cold breath.
“Hurry up and look into this Lilo person, Mike.
Find out who she is!”
Mike lifted his head to look at Chad.
“How did you find this information?”
“I suddenly had an idea in my head!
Chelsea had found a woman who looked very similar to Averie and tried to use her to replace Averie.
Her plan failed, but she caused countless arguments between Averie and Mr.
Foster.
I thought about it.
If a woman who looked like Averie’s mother appeared, wouldn’t they have complete control over Averie?”
Chad was rambling rather speedily.
He did not expect a simple thought to be true!
“That’s why I searched for keywords related to middle-aged women and came across Laura Jensen’s photo!”
Mike opened up the user named Lilo’s account, but there was not much information there.
“I need to check her IP address…” Mike mumbled as his fingers began to tap away at the keyboard.
“Get some rest.
I’ll let you know when I find something.”
“Okay.
I’m going to go see my boss.
I need to tell him about this,” Chad said, prepared to walk out of the room.
“He’s asleep,” Mike called out.
“He’s pretty knocked out.
He didn’t even wake up when the kids opened the door.”
“Alright, then!
I won’t bother him,” Chad said, then awkwardly adjusted his glasses.
It was as if he was contemplating if he should stay or leave.
“I’m afraid I’m going to have to work through the night.
You should sleep here!” Miked leaned back against the chair, then said lazily, “Your boss didn’t leave either, right?”
“Ah… It’s because he’s still here that I feel bad about leaving.” After further consideration, Chad decided to leave.”
“Why are you afraid of him?
He already knows about our relationship.” Mike got up from the chair and pinned Chad down on the bed.
“He has no time to care about us at all.
Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
Chad’s face reddened slightly and he shoved Mike aside.
“Hurry up and find out about Lilo!
I’ll stay and wait for your results tonight.”
“That’s more like it.” Mike was satisfied and returned to the computer.
“What would your boss do if Lilo turns out to be Chelsea Tierney?”
Chad was sitting on the edge of the bed with a stern expression on his face.
“He’d either throw her in prison or straight up kill her.
The point is that he won’t show any mercy.
She really crossed the line this time.”
Mike was suddenly filled with energy, but he was still slightly concerned.
“I’m just worried that she left the country like Nora did.”
“It’d be worse than death for her to spend the rest of her life like a coward,” Chad said.
“Keep working!
I’m taking a shower.”
In the master bedroom, Averie woke up in the middle of the night and noticed the man sleeping next to her through the dim light shining in from outside the window.
She recognized him through his blurry features and the smell of his cologne.
Elyette’s breathing was deep.
He had spent the past few days taking care of her and hardly got a wink of sleep.
He was by her side every time she woke up in pain in the middle of the night.
Although the nanny took care of her during the day, he still insisted on doing everything by himself.
Averie had not been in the best mood the past few days, so she did not notice how well Elyette was treating her.
Not only did he have no complaints, he was also obedient and accommodating in every aspect.
It was hard for Averie to imagine how she would overcome this hurdle without Elyette’s care.
Averie could not help but reach out and touch Elyette’s face.
She was shocked by the coldness of his skin.
The thermostat in the house kept the indoors at a constant temperature.
However, since it got colder outside, it was still necessary to use a blanket at night.
Averie covered Elyette with the blanket that was on her and inched closer to him.
He had some wine before bed, so his scent had turned intoxicating.
While Averie was half asleep, she suddenly heard Elyette’s hoarse voice.
“Averie.
I’ll be a good dad… I will…”
His voice was low, as if he was talking in his sleep.
Averie opened her eyes and looked directly at his face.
She could not clearly see his features in the dark, but she could see that his eyes were shut.
He was dreaming and talking in his sleep.
He was promising her in his dream that he would be a good father.
Elyette was sleep-talking, but Averie was still moved to tears.
One’s thoughts during the day would turn into dreams at night.
He was only having a dream like this because he remembered her words.
She believed that he would be a good father.
Every time the doctor sent him a new photo of the baby, he would show it to her right away.
He would tell her about the tiniest changes in the baby.
It was unlikely for there to be too many changes in the short span of two to three days.
He thought that the baby was changing because he was overly serious.
He would not repeatedly flip through the baby’s photos if he did not love him.
