Shocked, Ted went after Edward without hesitation. "Don't get mad, Edward! Wait for me!" Once the two left, the tension in the dining room eased, and Elliot placed a scoop of mashed potato on Hayden's plate.
"Eat up." "I don't need you to serve me." Hayden did not want to be treated like a child.
"Alright. Serve yourself, then. Eat more," Elliot said before turning to look at Nick. "Is there anything you want to say?" "I really don't know where Ivy is." Nick shrugged. "Edward was the one who reached out to Walter, intending to control Juliet's actions and prevent her from saying the wrong things. No one expected her to take her own life." Elliot frowned.
When dinner was coming to an end, a thought emerged in his mind. "I want to go to the Goulds' mansion. Is there anyone there?" "Probably not at this time. The place is locked most of the time," Nick said. "Whenever I pass by, it looks locked up. I think there are servants who clean the place every once in a while! You can ask the person in charge of Midas Enterprises. You have their contacts, right?" The Midas Enterprises and the Goulds' mansion were properties under Ivy, and since her body was never found, she was still officially the heir of the Gould family.
"Nick, have you done anything to Ruby's belongings after her death? I think Ruby would have collected Ivy's photo at spoint, but I didn't find anything related to Ivy. Ruby's phone was severely damaged and all the data is gone. All her jewelry and valuables are still there, but there is nothing related to Ivy." "Ruby sent you a photo of Ivy when Ivy was still a baby, right? I think all the photo albums of Ivy were destroyed by Edward and Ted. They probably didn't want you to get upset when you saw them. The only thing I agreed to was not selling them out. That's my part in this mess," said Nick. "I didn't support the idea of them attacking Ruby, but Edward and Ted couldn't wait. Had I refused, they would have turned against me. I admit that I was tempted, too, so it's not like I'm trying to deny my role in all of this, but I might have Ivy's photos on an older phone. I took swhen I went to see her. Lettry looking for them." Nick set his wine glass down and went to look for his old phone. Once he was gone, Elliot and Hayden were the only two left at the table. Hayden took out his phone to text Mike, explaining the situation, white Elliot texted Avery. S [Our son bought three missiles.] Avery replied, [???] [I think he spent quite a lot of money on them. He's done a lot to protect me.] [...] Avery did not know about this and felt stunned when she heard Hayden's plan included mi [I am so moved. If only he would call'Dad' someday.] Elliot typed.
[Are you drinking right now? Just take things slow and let things run their own course.] [Yeah. If only you were here next to me. I feel so happy right now.] [Found anything about Ivy?] The smile on Elliot's face faded. [No.]
