NovelOnlineOnce Avery left Ylore, Gary might never allow her to return.
It was a long time before a cedar coffin-borne by the members of the Gould family, exited the hotel. She saw Elliot's towering figure. He had clearly become a part of the Goulds.
Gary would not have him carry Christopher's coffin otherwise.
Soon, they placed the coffin into the hearse. Many expensive cars left, disappearing from sight.
Avery, with the umbrella in her hand, followed the crowd and left.

She did not hail a taxi. She slowly walked back to the hotel. Her bodyguard and Jed were having tea in the lobby of the hotel when they saw Avery entering the building. They stared at her in shock.
They had thought that Avery was resting in her room.
"Miss Tate!" her bodyguard gasped.
Avery was in shock, and she mechanically headed for the lift. It was an action born out of habit.
Jed realized that something was not right. He approached her and stopped her.
"What happened to you? Why do you look so down? Don't tell me you went to Christopher's funeral?" Avery came to her senses. "Hmm. What are you doing here?" "Why didn't you tell us anything?" Jed pulled her to the sofa in the main lobby and sat her down. "What if you were in danger?" "No one would notice me today." Avery slowly sobered up, but her voice remained cold. "Elliot has agreed to Gary's demands so that Hayden could leave. Gary is making him have a child with Ruby, and he is going to stay here, forever.
Jed had long known about this, and he did not look surprised.
The bodyguard was stunned. "Damn! Then, what are we staying here for? Why is Gary not letting us leave?" "Maybe it's because Elliot cares too much for Avery," sighed Jed, explaining things to the bodyguard. "To Gary, Avery is a chess piece he can use to control Elliot." The bodyguard said, "You sure know plenty about Gary!" "It is all too easy. Just step into Gary's shoes and you'll be able to guess his moves. " Jed furrowed his brows. He did not know when they would be allowed to leave.
Avery's bodyguard had tried purchasing tickets with their identity numbers. They had managed to buy tickets for themselves but not for Avery.
At nine that night, Elliot and Ruby left the hotel after greeting all the guests.

Gary was drunk when they exited the hotel. He hooked his arm in Elliot's. It was a threat and a reminder. Elliot had to bear him a grandchild. The baby could not be a girl; it had to be a boy! One child was great; two children were better. He did not mind if they had three, too. Best if they had four, five, or six. Only then would he let Elliot leave.
Throughout the funeral, Elliot had been expressionless. He had lost his soul in the bargain he had struck with Gary.
Ruby knew that he did not want to have coitus with her. However, she believed that gentleness and children would bring him around.
Returning to the mansion, Ruby ran a bath for him and got him to take a shower. Elliot did not refuse.
Half an hour later, he came out of the bathroom. His gaze darkened when he saw Ruby in sexy lingerie waiting by the bed.
"Elliot, my injuries don't hurt anymore." Ruby looked at him flirtatiously. She loosened his robe. "I know that these past few days have tired you out, so you can just lie down and leave the rest to me!"
