"By the way, didn't you mention that Elliot pays you every month? Is he still doing so?" The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know! My wife manages my bank account." "Whatever. It's not that important. | should give you a bonus once we get back." Avery realized that her bodyguard had not rested and had even sacrificed his time with his family. She decided that she was going to reward him with a big bonus once they got back.
"Now that | know that, | won't dare force you to return to Aryadelle," the bodyguard teased.
"Let's just eat! Once we find Hayden, | will consider going back to Aryadelle with him." Though their plans had upset Avery, she was greatly inspired by them. She was not in great danger at the moment, and she did not want to endanger herself in the future. She could not drag her bodyguard and Jed down with her.

No matter how much he tried, he could not get rid of the timer. The situation was made worse by the fact that the timer was the same one from this morning.
[61:05:33] "I only have sixty-one hours left to live?!" he thought and threw his phone to the ground.
Startled, his daughter burst into tears, and his wife immediately carried their daughter back into the room.
"Call everyone out!" Christopher barked at the butler. "There's a traitor in my house! | am finding the traitor tonight!" The technician from this morning had mentioned that even the best of hackers would not be able to hack into his network or phone without his personal information. It could only mean that someone had leaked his personal information, and that information had landed up in the hands of the hacker, resulting in the hacking of his phone.
Shortly after, all servants in the house gathered in the living room and stood in two lines.
Christopher scanned every one of their faces.
"Someone amongst you sold my personal information," he said with a sharp dagger in his h=h%:VNT?. "If no one owns up to it tonight, | will resolve this my way!" Everyone was terrified and held their breath in anticipation.

He sat down on the couch and hissed, "I don’t care if | have to kill all of you!" The scent of death loomed over the entire mansion and the atmosphere was suffocating.
The butler’'s expression darkened, and he glanced at Christopher's wife, who was standing a significant distance away from him. She had wanted to walk over, but the butler shook his head in her direction.
Elliot returned home and Ruby was surprised to see him. "Elliot, have you eaten?" Ruby was recovering well. Her doctor had told her to rest in bed, but she could not stand it any longer and had decided to take her dinner in the dining room.
"No." Elliot studied her pale face and said," You seem better today.” "Yeah. The wound doesn't hurt as much, so | came down to eat." Ruby walked with him to the dining room and once the two sat down, the nanny reheated the food and placed it on the table.
Once the nanny left, Elliot broke the silence and said, "Your plan failed." Ruby was stunned for a moment. She did not realize what he was talking about.
"Avery won't be leaving Ylore tonight," he said.
Realizing what he had meant, her face flushed. "Elliot, let me explain!"
