Hearing Avery's voice, Elliot stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door.
The bodyguards dared not stop Avery.

"Avery, let's talk." Avery was fuming, "What gives you the right to bring Hayden to your house!? Did you have my permission? What you did was against the law!" Elliot's brows furrowed, "I did not hurt him! | only wanted to know when did he meet Shea? Why did they fall out?" Avery refuted, "Can't you ask Shea instead?! Elliot, | know Shea means a lot to you, but this is not a reason for you to bully my son!” Elliot's head was hurting badly. Indeed, he did not have her permission to bring Hayden home.
"I did not bully your son!" Elliot said.
"You brought him to your house by force and made him sit on the floor. Is this not bullying? Then, tell me! What is bullying?" Avery suddenly saw the tooth mark and dried blood on Elliot's neck.
Did her son bite him? Suddenly, she grew uncertain.

She had not seen Mrs. Cooper for years but she still seemed as friendly as ever.
"Fighting won't solve the problem." Mrs. Cooper walked to Avery and patted her shoulder, "Don't stand outside, come in and have a seat." Avery was unwilling to go in but Mrs. Cooper pulled her by her arm as she walked in.
The interior design and decoration were the same as they were four years ago.
Avery had an unsettling feeling inside her.

However, Avery seemed hostile toward her brother. She was scared of her.
After the study room door was shut, Hayden instantly walked over.
Shea saw and followed.
The two of them leaned on the door of the study room, listening to the conversation inside.
Mrs. Cooper saw the two of them and found them amusing.
Inside the study room.
Elliot broke the silence, "Before Shea went missing, she had no friends from school. So I'm guessing that she met your son when she was missing." Avery remained a calm look, her tone was calm too,’ Oh, go and ask them, then! | don't know anything." When Elliot saw her hardened face, he did not feel good, "Your son never mentioned anything about Shea?" "No. My son doesn't speak most of the time." Avery ended the topic quickly, "Stop asking about my son. If you want to know, ask Shea. If there's nothing else, | will leave now." Elliot said, "There's another thing." Avery halted.
"I heard that you've moved in with that dude," Elliot said directly, "Moving in so soon, were you two together before our divorce?"
