NovelApp"lI remember that you didn't seem to tellthe follow-up to this matter. | thought | had remembered wrongly!" Mike gradually
lowered his voice.
Avery went to Ylore to find Ivy, and she would not stop until she found the child's whereabouts.
It was not that big of a deal if there was concrete news on the child's death. After all, a short and swift pain was much less
agonizing than a prolonged period of suffering! Mike's greatest concern was the lack of news and information on Ivy’s whereabouts
because that would only lead Avery on a wild goose chase.
At Ylore, Avery took a taxi to Nick's house after having srest the previous night. She did not bother calling him because she
was staying in a hotel not far from his house.
As soon as she arrived, she went to the door of Nick's detached villa and rang the doorbell.
The servant in the villa stuck her head out and walked to the courtyard gate when she saw Avery.
"And you are?" The servant looked at Avery's face and did not immediately recognize her.

"I'm Avery Tate. | chere three years ago," Avery began. "I didn't call Nick because it's a little early. | wonder if he's at home?"
The servant immediately opened the courtyard door and let her in. "You chere at just the right time. He just came
back yesterday from a business trip. He hasn't got up yet, so please do wait in the living room!" "Sure, thanks."
The servant looked at her and asked, "Why did you calone?"
Avery felt embarrassed. "Elliot and | got a divorce."
"I'm aware of that! I'm asking why you didn't bring a bodyguard with you." The servant brought her into the living room and poured
her a glass of water. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I've eaten. You can get back to your duties. I'll just wait here."
Nick finally cdownstairs when the twas past ten.
When he saw Avery sitting on the sofa in
the living room, his eyes widened and he thought that he was still dreaming.
"Nick," Avery got up from the sofa and walked toward the stairs. "I'm sorry to drop by unannounced, but | have squestions to
ask you."
Nick looked at her in surprise. "Don't you think you're asking the wrong person? You; c%;QLX: Elliot never got along with each
other, right? Elliot and | are still good friends, you know!"
Avery held Nick's arm and whispered," Let's talk in your study!"
"But | haven't eaten yet, and I'm starving!" Nick removed her hand. "Just go ahead and ask what you want to ask! | trust the
employees in my house, and | promise not to let anyone know about our chat," Nick said as he walked to the dining room.
Avery followed him in.
"I chere to ask you about what happened to the Goulds' three years ago."

The two went to the dining room and had a seat, whereupon the servants immediately brought sfood to the table before
excusing themselves.
"It's been three years since that happened. Why do you care all of a sudden?" Nick looked at her in confusion. "You divorced Elliot
three years ago because of this, didn't you? It stands to reason that there's no incentive for you to bring it up now."
"I just want to know what happened to her," Avery explained the purpose of her visit." I've been having nightmares recently and |
dreamt that Ivy beggedto save her. | feel like | need to chere and address that or else it'll be a pain to have nightmares all
the time." "How strange." Nick lost his appetite immediately. "lvy never entered your dreams three years ago, so why now? Maybe
she died recently."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that Ivy was never found?"
"That's right. Ivy was taken away by the Goulds’ driver and he managed to escape. But he was a gambler, so he sold Ivy after
rescuing her..." Nick told her what Ivy went through. "Elliot still couldn't locate her even after getting those clues and destroying
the criminal gang."
Avery's body ran cold and her hand was trembling uncontrollably as she held the cutlery.
