Mike picked up a cup of water. "What happened to your boss? Please don't come looking for Avery every time he is in trouble—" "He is dead.” Chad felt uncomfortable.
Mike spat out the water. "Are you pulling my leg? You said he died? How did he die?" "I don't know. The internet said that he is dead." Mike was speechless. Seeing how Chad was almost in tears, he immediately placed the cup of water down and headed to his room.
"Don't worry. Let me ask Avery. She was on the phone with me yesterday afternoon. She said that her injuries were not that painful anymore. She should be able to return in a few days. She didn't say that anything had happened to Elliot—" "It happened early today morning.” Chad followed Mike into his room. "We can't get to him or his bodyguard. | have been with him for so many years. This is the first time that this has happened.” Mike got his phone and called Avery. At the same time, he put it on loudspeaker.

"Avery!" Mike's emotions had been influenced by Chad. He was anxious. "I heard that Elliot is dead. What happened? I'm sure it had nothing to do with you, right! Avery lay in bed, looking at the ceiling. Her voice was hoarse. "| did it." Mike was bewildered. Chad was speechless.
"I did it," Avery said once again.
"A-Are you alright?" Mike pulled his hair in disbelief. "Why did you kill him? Why?" "I don't know..." Avery had been crying for a long time, and her throat hurt. Her voice was hoarse. "I don't know how it turned out this way—" "Okay, stop crying! I'll come get you immediately!" Mike said and grabbed a jacket from his room. "Don't turn off your phone!" When Mike ended the call, Chad was completely numb.
His boss was truly dead. Avery was the murderer.
"Hehe! How comical!" he thought.
He had initially thought them to be truly in love with each other despite the numerous arguments, and that they would be together once they had resolved everything.
Never had he thought that tragedy would be the outcome! When Mike was by the door putting on his shoes, he suddenly saw Chad.

He had said that to him, Avery was more important than family. No matter what she did, he would never leave.
Chad took his glasses off and wiped away his tears. Cutting ties with Mike had not been the saddest part of the day. The saddest part of the day was knowing that his boss was dead.
For a while, he could not figure out how to get back to his office, and when he was finally back at his office, he did not dare tell Shaun the news.
Chad called Ben and told Ben what he heard.
Ben said, "Did she really say so?" "I heard it myself. She said she did it," Chad choked and said, "I never thought that she would be as impulsive and bold to do something like this!" "Don't cry. I'm at the hospital. The news | got is that he is still in the emergency room, being resuscitated.” Chad was stunned for a while. Then, he immediately collected his emotions.” Where did Mr. Foster get hurt? Why is it so serious?" "The heart.” Chad exclaimed, "How could she be so cruel!" "The bodyguard said that he did it to himself." Ben looked serious. "Even if Avery did it, he would not blame her.” "Is that what he said?" "The bodyguard told me. He had passed out long before he had arrived at the hospital.” Ben rubbed the middle of his brows. "His estate attorney has also come after seeing the news."
