"Auntie, if it's inconvenient for you to say it, it's fine. I'm just asking casually. I'll have a word with Elliot, and I'll try to get you over for New Year's." "Avery, thank you!" "These are all trivial matters. You don't have to be so polite. Elliot has a half-sister. He has not publicly recognized her yet, but he is receptive to her. Give him more time!" Avery took a credit card from her bag and handed it over. "I'll send the password to your phone later. You can spend the money inside to your heart's desire." Susan immediately rejected it.
"Auntie, accept it. If Wanda comes to you again, please send her away and tell her to stop harassing you. If you have any difficulties, we will solve them. After all, we are a family." Avery's words made Susan completely lower her defenses.
She accepted Avery's card.

She told Elliot about her meeting with Susan today.
"I knew Wanda wouldn't let this opportunity go. She seems to be honest on the surface, but she keeps making small moves behind her back," Avery complained. "I know her too well." "Did Susan contact you?" Elliot asked.
"Well. Isn't New Year's coming soon? She said that she wouldn't return to Bridgedale for the New Year. She wants to celebrate New Year's with us, Elliot. Let's pick her up for the festival!" Avery looked at him expectantly. "If we push her away, she might be bought by Wanda. Whether you have feelings for her or not, you only have one biological mother. It doesn't matter if she lied to us once.
We just need to give her smoney, and she'll be on our side. It's not that hard." He understood what she said, but he felt disgusted.
"She lied to us." He picked up a stack of documents from the table. "I had someone go to check her details. The first tshe called me, she said she was in Bridgedale, so | had someone in Bridgedale investigate her, but nothing was found." She took the document and looked at his solemn face. "So have you investigated her in Aryadelle? "Yes. | think she got into contact with W?a'> UMW?a a long tago. She was afraid | wouldn't recognize her, so she forged her identity." After hearing his words, Avery looked down at the document.
"Elliot, what are you going to do? | met her today, and the chat went well She already knows of the feud between Wanda andand accepted the credit card | gave her. As long as she doesn't talk to Wanda in the future, we can forget that she lied to us.
After all, it doesn't matter." She scanned the document and put it on the table.

Because she has lived a tough life, she was easily deceived by Wanda. Moreover, you already know her true identity. There's nothing wrong with that. It means that her life is not as complicated as we think." Elliot looked at her: "You wantto recognize her?" Avery shook his head. "I don't want to force you to meet her. | think we could support her. She did her best. She didn't make any more demands; she just wants to spend New Year's with us." Elliot did not answer.
He needed to think about it again.
"lI don't want her to be controlled by Wanda.
| don’t want a simple thing to beccomplicated" "Let's eat first!" He held her hand. "Il want to meet her again before inviting her to our house for New Year's." "Okay, but don't have such a serious expression. People who don't know you will be frightened by you." A smile bloomed in her eyes.
