As Ted often allowed Edward to lead, he nodded along and said, "I think Edward is right. Rather than be sitting ducks, I would attack first. Elliot has clearly suspected us. This is our territory. If we join forces, we will easily be able to handle him and his bodyguard. It will be as easy as stepping on ants.
"Back then, us dealing with the Gould family was also an easy job, right?" Ted said.
They had planted moles in the Gould family ahead of time, and that was how they had been successfully able to infiltrate the Gould family's defenses.

Even if we do manage to easily kill him, do you think we can sit back and relax as we did with Ruby? You are too naive!" "Are you afraid that Elliot's men will seek revenge? Ylore and Aryadelle are so far away. No matter how many of Elliot's men come, we'll deal with them! The territory is our advantage. What is there to be afraid of?" Edward said with disdain. "If we don't attack first, are we going to wait until Elliot causes trouble for us? Who would have thought that Ruby's child was actually Avery's..." The only reason they had decided to join forces to wipe out the Gould family was because Elliot did not care about Ruby. He had not felt anything for Ivy either. Which was why they had thought that even if they had killed Ivy, Elliot would not react. On the contrary, they thought that their getting rid of her would be relieving Elliot of his burden.
As it turns out, when they had destroyed the Gould family, Elliot and Avery had crunning to Ylore looking for Ivy, saying Ivy was their child.
Therefore, they did not tell either Elliot or Avery that they were the ones who had destroyed the Gould family.
However, the truth was bound to get out in the end, and Elliot was determined to get to the bottom of this. The answer might appear very soon.
"We don't have to be so worried about this first! He hasn't checked on us yet!" Nick tapped his cigar onto the ashtray and said calmly, "Let's wait for him to contact us!" Avery was in Aryadelle though her heart had left with Elliot.
Mike and Hayden were back, so Layla and Robert no longer stuck to her.

they At noon, after her lunch, she returned to her room and found her phone. She wanted to call Elliot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn fact, that morning, she had chatted with Elliot. Elliot had said that he was a little tired that day, so he would go to bed earlier. Avery pulled up her contact list and scrolled through them before locating Nick's contact.
After hesitating for a moment, she hit call.
It was midnight at Ylore at that moment. Avery knew that it was not a good tto call him, but she could not control her worry.
Mike had been telling her for the past two days that the murderer might be close at hand and that had sent her into a spiral of worry. She wondered whether the murderers might be them. Nick answered the call.
"Nick, am I disturbing you?" Avery said apologetically once he answered.
