Gary acquiesced to Elliot's query with his words.
"Gary, if you hand Avery over, I'll make sure she leaves Ylore right away," said Elliot. He did not want to piss Gary off by saying too much.
Avery was now in Gary's hands. Elliot could not imagine what kind of torture she would suffer.

"Didn't you say you weren't interested in women at the moment? | promise she won't die, so you may go back and have a good rest now!" Elliot intuitively felt Avery was in great danger when he heard Gary, "Why not tonight?" "Christopher was mad when he found out the things you had done with Avery at Ruby's birthday party. So he decided to teach her a lesson. Don't worry. I've told Christopher to keep her alive, so he will only 'play' with her.
She's not your wife, so if you can 'play' with her, so can anyone, right?" Elliot went furious as his forehead became veiny. He clenched his fists and said," Gary, you know it was on me.
You may punish me if you want, but please leave her out of this!" Elliot gritted his teeth and then knelt after a moment of hesitation, "She's the mother of my three kids. | don't want anybody to sully her." "Two among the three do not share your surname!" teased Gary.
"I can change that as soon as | return to Aryadelle!" "Then how would you know if she's willing to have fun with Christopher?" Gary squinted his eyes and said coldly.
Gary thought, 'He just knelt for Avery! How can | believe that he does not care about that woman?!" "Let me ask her in person! If she says so, | would never interfere in her affairs again!" "Elliot! You've cared about her over Ruby! Even though Ruby took a bullet for you, all you think about is still your ex-wife! If | don’t ruin her, you'll only be meaner to Ruby!" Gary said ruthlessly, "This is Ylore, my place! That's a lesson you must learn even if you'll hate me for that! That's the consequence of disobeying me!" Gary was harsh. He got up from the couch and said, "If you don't want to go back, stay here for Ruby!" Then, he strode out of the ward. Elliot stood up :a.=RLS> gritted his teeth as he watched the door slam shut.
Elliot knew how influential Gary was in Ylore. He knew it only took an order from Gary to get him killed if Gary wanted to.
He was clear that he could not save Avery at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLater, his bodyguard walked in and reported to him, "Mr. Foster, A guy named Jed wants to meet you outside." Elliot swallowed and said, "Bring him in." He paused, "And buy me a pack of cigarettes." After that, the bodyguard went out as ordered.
Jed came in afterward and glared at Ruby on the bed. He then walked tremblingly to Elliot.
"Didn't | ask you to save Avery? Why are you here?" Jed questioned Elliot. After he could not unlock Avery's phone and had not heard back from Elliot, he asked around to find out which hospital Ruby was in. Fortunately, he found Elliot here eventually.
However, it seemed to Jed that Elliot did not care about Avery.
"How did you find this place?" Elliot looked at Jed and asked.
"I asked Miller, the vice president about where Ruby is, and he asked me to come here." Jed's look then turned indignant," Elliot! Even if you can’t remember Avery, you can't leave her to die like that!" "She won't die," Elliot replied.
It was because Gary had never broken his promises.
