Haven't you two been quite close recently?” "It has nothing to do with him." Avery took stissues and wiped away her tears. "Il was watching the news just now. A middle- aged man disguised himself as a cobbler on the streets just to pay for his daughter's education. Every t| see this type of news, | will think of my mother. | feel for the people at the bottom of the social ladder." "Is that so?" Mike pointed at her clenched fist. "What is that in your hands? Lethave a look. If you don't letsee what it is, | won't believe what you said." "How does it affecteven if you don't believe me?" Avery quickly recollected her thoughts. "What are you looking forfor? "Hey! You're saying this as if we're strangers. | heard you're in the office, so | deliberately cover to look for you. Also, we're not living together anymore. | haven't seen you for a few days." Mike sat down on a chair opposite her. "Although you have askedover to Elliot's for a meal, | really don't want to go over to his place.” "Then let's meet outside once a week," Avery suggested a solution.
"Sure! But you still haven't toldwhat happened. If Elliot hears about this..." "Don't you dare threaten me!" Avery looked at him seriously. "The incident just now, you cannot tell anyone. Not even Chad.” "Sure, but you have to letin on it a little! If not, I'll be worried! Avery, you can't only think about yourself and not think about how | feel!" Mike replied equally seriously," If you were me, would you just let yourself be?" "Henry and Cole are evil people,” Avery choked up and said, "They threatenedwith Adrian. They askedto give them Elliot's shares." "Bloody hell! | knew something like this would happen!" Mike said agitatedly, "That father and son might seem like normal people, but they are thugs! The last person that gavethis feeling was Charlie Tierney." "Mike, | don't know how to bring it up to Elliot. He will surely not give his shares to them. | know his temper. He would surely not doit." "If it were me, | wouldn't give it to them either!" Mike raised his brow. "Should | get someone to just kill them?!" Avery looked at him in disbelief. "Are you really trying to help me?" "Yes! I'm really trying to help you. If you don't give them money, but you don't kill them, only Adrian would die," Mike said coldly, "Do you think they would pay the price if they killed Adrian? They won't! They would cout with sreason to cover their murder!" The tears Avery had forced back flowed once more.
"Stop crying. They knew that you would be soft-hearted, so they cfor you. See, they don't even dare to look for Elliot!" Mike took stissues =c’;VIR: passed them to her. "But, Elliot also won't possibly give them money because of Adrian, right? Unless they have Shea in their hands." "What if it was Shea?" Avery asked bewilderedly.
Mike was stunned. "If it was Shea...Elliot might not even hand out his shares. He would be like me. He would choose to kill them." Avery was speechless.

"Stop askingthis. | have to head out. You cannot tell anyone about our chat.” "Don’t worry. I'll keep this a secret, but I'll advise you to heed my suggestion." Mike walked Avery out of the office.
"No. | won't commit murder," Avery refused.
Coming out of the office, Avery drove to the hospital. She needed to test that bag of blood.
An hour later, she received the results. It was RH negative blood type O.
Among the people that she knew, only Shea and Adrian had such a special blood type! That meant that the blood in the bag belonged to Adrian!
