"Okay, I'll go look for a place for her." "Hmm." Avery thought for a while. "She's a lady living alone. Find her a safe neighborhood." "If I find her a good place, will she take it for granted?" "If you're worried about this, you can rent her a house first and you pay the rent," Avery suggested, "If you're satisfied with her, then you can buy her one." Elliot's gaze was cold. "Other than you and the children, | do not want to pay for another person's life." "I know, but she is your sister. Also, Nathan is not as evil as we think. If he didn't surrender himself..." Avery could not continue her sentence.
"Go shower! I'll show you once | pick a place," Elliot did not want to continue the topic.
"Okay." The next day, Avery headed over to Ben's early in the morning.

Avery took her phone out and dialed Ben. At that moment, a shuffling of footsteps cfrom behind.
When she turned around, she saw Lilith.
Lilith had a face full of dirty makeup. Her hair was in a mess too. Avery did not know what had happened to her.
"You're Lilith, right? We met when we were in Bridgedale. Elliot gotto cto look for you," Avery asked tentatively, "Does your job require you to work the night shift? Lilith pursed her red lip. She unhappily unlocked the gate and entered the courtyard.
Avery followed her.
"Elliot found you a place to stay. Lettake you there right now! It's rather inconvenient for you to stay at Ben's." "How is Elliot so kind?" Lilith mocked. "I thought he doesn't acknowledgeas his sister." "He has promised your father that your basic needs will be met." Avery followed her into the living area. "We'll leave after you pack up. I'll let Ben know later." "Oh," Lilith entered the guest room and started packing.
"Lilith, I heard that you're working for a modeling agency. How is that going?" Avery saw Lilith's dressing. She wanted to persuade her to leave the job.

"Don’t you care about me? | don't like going to school, | won't go to school.” "Just save my number! You can tellif you have any difficulties. Elliot has a bad temper. If you look for him, he might not have the patience.” Lilith picked her phone up :a);WLU= saved Avery's phone number. Then, she asked," Are you still in contact with Adrian, that idiot?" "No. He is not an idiot." "I'm just calling him an idiot affectionately. Don't take it so seriously. | have been staying with him for more than ten years. Before you performed the surgery on him, | had taken care of him every single day. My dad and brother wouldn't even care about him." Avery was stunned when she heard what Lilith said.
"I haven't seen him in a long time. | wonder if he is dead or not." Lilith packed up quickly. She dragged the luggage along with her. "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go." Avery cto her senses. Her heart constricted tightly. She did not know how Adrian was doing at that moment.
When she sent Lilith to the rented place, Avery dialed Ben and explained the situation to her.
Ben rubbed his throbbing temples and sighed. "Avery, thank you! You have solved a huge problem of mine!" "Elliot was the one who askedto take Lilith away. It has been hard on you all this while." "It's fine, it's fine! As long as she has left." Avery was about to say a few more pleasantries when a call came.
She looked at her screen and saw that it was from Cole. She immediately said to Ben, "I have an incoming call. We'll talk next time." She hung up Ben's call and answered Cole's call.
"Avery, where are you right now? | have something nice to give to you." Cole laughed sinisterly which sent chills down Avery's back.
"What is it?" Her voice tightened. She clenched her fists!
