At Aryadelle, Chad drove to Starry River Villa.
Mike was halone.
After returning to Aryadelle that afternoon, Hayden was called away by his teacher. Mike took a nap at hand slept until the evening.
"Avery passed out," Chad told him the news.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike instantly woke. "Elliot is really dead?" Chad nodded. "Ben said that he was driving up the mountain and his car fell off a cliff. They could not even find his body." "Damn. That's terrible!" "Which is why Avery passed out." Chad's head hurt. "I can't believe what I'm hearing.
| can't accept this." "Didn't you say that you suspect it was murder? Are you sure it's not?" Mike had almost forgotten the last the had seen Elliot.
He could not even bid Elliot farewell. What a pity! How absurd! If he had known that Elliot was going to leave the world so early, he would not have gone against him all the time.
"Ben said that Mr. Foster and Gary don't have any conflict of interest. Also, Mr.
Foster doesn't have anything to do with Sterling Group anymore. Gary has no motive to harm him." Chad pondered for a while and said, "Previously, whether Mr. Foster got hurt or if there was anything to celebrate, Gary would always visit. | think there are no problems with their friendship.
"So, it's an accident?" Mike frowned and sighed heavily. "No. | have to head to Ylore. I'm afraid that Ben won't be able to bring Avery back." "Head there tomorrow! When Hayden comes back later, you have to talk to him and Layla. | don't know what I'm going to say if you just leave without a word." Chad was troubled.
"Just tell them as it is. Do you think we can hide it from them?" Mike saw Mrs. Cooper. She had overheard their conversation.
Hearing about Elliot's death, she was extremely sad.
"Mike, go get Avery! If she were to do something stupid, what would happen to the children!" Mrs. Cooper's eyes were red." Sigh, how sad. Luckily, Robert doesn't understand anything yet." Mike walked over and comforted her. "I know you have been with Elliot for many years. You might be even more upset than all of us." "Mike. He is a good person." Mrs. Cooper broke down.
"I know. Avery says so too. Layla says so too. | believe he is a good person." "People only know :e%=RKV= remember how good he was after his death. If only people treated him better while he was still alive, this would not have been the outcome." You could hear the censure in her voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Which couple doesn't fight? Elliot's death was an accident. It has nothing to do with Avery." "I know. I'm just very upset, so | misspoke. Please don't tell Avery this." Mrs. Cooper turned and returned to her room.
Chad checked the flights to Ylore on his phone and said, "Listen to Mrs. Cooper, go to Ylore now! Thankfully, there is a flight tonight.” "Hmm. I'll head to the airport now. You wait at hfor Hayden to return,” Mike said.
"Am | to tell them the truth?" "Now that Elliot is dead, don't treat Hayden as a child. He should learn how to bear the responsibilities that he should bear." Not long after Mike left, Hayden returned with the bodyguard.
Hayden saw Chad and politely greeted him.
"Hayden, you've just returned to Aryadelle, yet you are already so busy," Chad said with a smile.
"I haven't excelled in all my subjects, and | have to work on them." "I'm sure you must be tired,” Chad said.
"Not at all,” Hayden said calmly, "Are you here to see Uncle Mike?" "No. He just left to get your mother back.” Chad got Hayden to sit on the sofa. "I need to talk to you."
