Jed started a conversation, "Elliot, have you really forgotten Avery already? Her bodyguard told me that you used to love each other very much." "Wasn't her bodyguard following her today? " answered Elliot with another question.
"Nope. Nick sent someone to send her to Ruby's birthday party today, so she let her bodyguard take a day off," Jed became more annoyed when he thought about that, "Blame me for that!

"You're Nick Felix's lover? For real?!" Avery's utterance sounded like a joke to Christopher. He found it funny, but at the same time, he was too scared for it to be true.

He had fallen in love with me at first sight since then, so he started to pursue me! Since that, we have been in a secret relationship until now! | didn't plan to tell you about this, but | didn't expect you to be such a j*rk! He won't let you off lightly if he knows what you've done to me! " What Avery had told Christopher sounded so real in his ears. He could not be furious at Avery anymore.
"I'll call Uncle Nick now. If what you told me is true, | would let you go right now, but if it isn’t, I'll torture you to death!" After Christopher had said it angrily, he took out his phone from his pants that he threw on the floor, ?h%:VMU< phoned Nick.
