Elsewhere, in a mansion, Nick glimpsed at Elliot, then spoke to the phone slowly," Why? She pissed you off?" The weird look on Christopher's face showed that he had hit the panic button.
"Uncle Nick, h-how's your relationship with her... now?" "Didn't | ask her to attend Ruby's birthday party on my behalf today? Don't you feel dumb when you asked me that question?" Nick had lost his patience, "Now answer me, did she piss you off?!" "Oh... s-she didn't. It's just that she was caught doing the 'in-bed' thing with Elliot on our yacht today and that really upset my dad and me..." "Don't you feel ashamed to be angry?! Did you forget the shot that you'd fired at Ruby already?" scolded Nick, "I don't need you to tell me what they've done. They already have three kids, so what's wrong with them having sex?" Christopher was stunned.

In Christopher's impression, Nick was never a man like that. ‘What's wrong with this world?" he thought.
"Uncle Nick, aren't you afraid Elliot will come for you when he finds it out?" "That's none of your business!" Nick had glimpsed at Elliot again before he continued, "D*mb-ass, doesn't it seem to you that Elliot had already known it?" Christopher turned speechless. That was too much for him.
He was surprised that both Nick and Elliot were sharing the same woman! "| see! I'll send her to your place right away! " He quickly apologized, "My dad asked me to teach her a lesson, but don't worry! | haven't touched her yet!" "It looks like your dad is going senile," Nick said sarcastically and then hung up the phone.
Nick spoke to Elliot after he had placed his phone on the table, "Avery is fine. However, the act that you came to seek help from me in the middle of the night seems to me that you've remembered her." "That's not important,” Elliot said with his look unchanged, yet he felt relieved inside. "It's late. | should leave now." "Christopher said he's sending Avery here now. Don't you want to wait for her?" said Nick while playing with a fidget spinner.
Elliot shook his head strode into the dark.

Besides the pair of red eyes, Avery looked normal in one's eye.
"Uncle Nick, I've brought her here. I didn't touch her at all," Christopher promised, " It's very late. | won't disturb you any further." He left afterward.
Avery stared gratefully into Nick's eyes and thanked him, "Thank you, Nick. | won't forget about your kindness—" "Don't thank me. | didn't want to help you at all! You were really good at making up stories! You could be a great scriptwriter! If Elliot hadn't been here, | wouldn't have helped you!" Nick rubbed his forehead as he sat on the couch and scolded, "I told you to leave but you didn't! I'll surely watch you die if it happens again!" Avery's gloomy mood was gone when she heard the name "Elliot".
"There won't be a next time. Now everyone knows | have a close relationship with you, so they won't dare to bully me anymore," she smiled and once again she thanked," Nick, I'll still thank you! Can you ask your bodyguard to send me back to my hotel? I'm scared to walk alone." Nick looked at her smile and shook his head, "It looks like you're not going back to Aryadelle." "I'll wait for Elliot." "Naive! You know he can't get out of trouble now!" Nick shouted. Then, he walked to the main door and talked to a bodyguard, "Send her back to the hotel."
