"Are you afraid | can't pay you?" she asked.
"Miss Tate, I'll take the file, but you don't have to pay me," The detective explained." Mr. Foster has cto me. He has given me
Ivy's photo but because | have too little information, there was no progress all this while. Now that we have your additional
information, I'll look for her properly, but my team and | won't be looking for her in Aryadelle."
"Why not?" Avery asked.
"From the information, Mr. Foster gave me. The child might have been sold to the surrounding small countries around Ylore and not
a place so far away like Aryadelle."
"But the lead | have gotten is that the child has been sold to someone in Aryadelle."
"Can you trust the authenticity of your lead? " The detective asked.

"How can | be sure?" Avery furrowed her brows. "Try looking in Aryadelle! | can match Elliot's price."
The detective smiled. "Miss Tate, do you know how much he is paying me?"
"lI don't know, but | saw hisworth from the list of billionaires last year. The price he can offer, | can offer it, too, " Avery said
determinedly.
The detective's gaze darkened a little." Since you're so confident. I'll do my best."
"Thank you!" Avery said. "lvy looks a lot like my daughter when she was younger. I'm sure that she hasn't changed all that much
now that she is grown up. Take my daughter's photo and look for her. I'm sure you won't get it wrong."
"Okay."
After the two of them finished talking, the detective left Avery's place.
In the car, the detective called Elliot.
"Miss Tate looked for me."
"I knew she would." Everything was as Elliot had expected. "Did you tell her about it?"
"I did, but she said the child might be in Aryadelle. She wantsto look around in Aryadelle," The detective said. "Mr. Foster, she
said that she saw yourworth on the list of billionaires last year. She said that no matter how much you are paying me, she can
offer the same. Is she that rich? "Aren't you the detective? Can't you just secretly investigate to see whether she has the money or
not?" Elliot retorted.
The detective said awkwardly, "lI have never heard that Miss Tate has so much money, but from what | saw, she didn't look like she
was joking."
"From the news | got, she is having a hard tmaking ends meet."
"Oh... | see!"
"Since she asked you to look around in Aryadelle, go look in Aryadelle. Put the fee on my tab," Elliot said. "What else did she say to
you?"

"She said to look for the child using Layla's photo." "Do what she says."
When Elliot finished the call, he heard a knock on his office door.
Chad entered.
He had drunk the night before ?d#
He had just reached the office, but he felt he needed to let Elliot know.
"Are you feeling better?" Elliot immediately asked when he saw Chad.
Chad heard his boss' concern, and he felt conflicted. Why did he do such a despicable thing?
Faking the recording! He never thought that Avery would hear it.
"What are you gawking about?" Elliot saw him in a daze. He raised his voice a little." Last night, after you sentthe message, |
contacted Avery. | planned to pay her alimony, but she refused." "Oh..." Chad was not surprised.
