Elliot got up from the sofa. He intended to return to his room to get some rest. Dawn was fast approaching, and he still had not gotten any sleep.
In a few hours, he would be speaking to Edward and Ted as Gary's representative.
That day was destined to be an unusual day, whether Christopher died or not.
Just as his hand landed on the doorknob, he heard Hayden's door swing open.
He looked to Hayden's room. Their eyes met. Despite not speaking, they knew what weighed on the other’s mind.

It looked like Elliot had trusted his plan to work. Elliot, on the other hand, saw the results of the plan in Hayden's expression.
"Christopher is dead," Hayden said.
Elliot immediately looked at his phone. There were no calls or messages.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Are you doubting me?" Hayden said coldly.
"Did you hire someone to do it?" Elliot no longer felt sleepy. He walked over to Hayden. "How did you do it?" Hayden had already avenged Avery, so he did not mind revealing his plan to Elliot.
"| found out that his wife was having an affair with the butler. They had to kill Christopher, or they would have wound up dead." Elliot instantly understood what Hayden was hinting at.
Gary had stationed numerous bodyguards around the mansion to protect Christopher, not suspecting that the killer was the person closest to his son.
"Go back to your room and rest." Elliot looked at his phone. There was still no news on Christopher's demise. He instantly had a bad feeling.
When Hayden entered his room, Elliot asked once again, "Have you packed?" "I'm packing right now." "Hmm," Elliot said. "I'll see if Ruby has heard anything." He made his way to the master bedroom. He opened the door, and it was pitch black inside.
He did not need to ask her to know that she had not heard the news.
If Christopher was dead, Gary's bodyguard would be the first one to notify him of his son's death.
"Why was Gary not notified of his son's death? What is he feeling? What is he planning to do? " thought Elliot.

Just when Elliot was about to leave the room, Ruby woke up.
"Elliot, is that you?" Ruby said, switching on the lights.
Elliot's expression was dark. "Your brother is dead." Tears streamed down her face. "How did he die? Was it your son—" "My son is in his room. He didn't go anywhere," said Elliot, defending Hayden." It was not him. This has nothing to do with him. Remember this, alright?" Ruby cried ?f+>WNS? nodded. She quickly picked up her phone, but her father had not called her.
"Did my father call you and tell you about it?" She anxiously got out of bed.
"No," said Elliot, confusion coloring his voice. | suspect that he is up to something." "As my father did not call you, how do you know whether my brother is dead or not?" Ruby approached him, intending to discover the truth. Elliot's expression said everything.
"I'm going to see my brother!" Ruby went to her closet. She planned on changing her clothes before leaving.
Elliot said, "If you were to go there on your own, how do you plan on explaining your knowledge of your brother's death? Go back to bed. I'll get the driver to check on the situation outside." Ruby suppressed her tears.
She placed the clothes that she had taken out of her closet back into her closet. She walked over to the bed and lay down." Elliot, if my brother is dead, my father will go mad."
