Later that evening, Ben sent Lilith a message to tell her that Avery went to Bridgedale.
Lilith immediately replied: [Are you sure she's coming to Bridgedale? She didn't tell me!] [She's probably still on the flight, but I'm positive she went to Bridgedale. She divorced Elliot today. He signed the divorce agreement and she took Hayden with her.] [What did | miss?? Why did this happen all of a sudden?] After Lilith won second place in the modeling competition, her agent accepted sactivities on her behalf, and she was very busy because those activities often require traveling to various cities [Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone right now? I'll call you and explain ] [Just do it through the chat. You can send voice messages if you don't want to type.] Ben sent her a voicemail, saying, "Ruby's dead and Ivy's missing. It's highly likely that Ivy's dead too. Elliot went to Ylore to look for Ivy but failed to find her, and Avery divorced him because he went to Ylore." Lilith was stunned.
Ben continued, "lI don't get her at all. Isn't it great that Ruby's dead? Why is she so angry? And besides, even if Elliot decides to accept lvy as his child, it's nowhere near an unforgivable sin. Does Avery need to break things off with him? She lost custody of Layla and Robert right now, and it seems she's more than willing to give up her two children just to get a divorce from Elliot." Lilith was a little confused.

Lilith called him right away.
Ben answered it and asked, "Isn't it inconvenient for you to answer the phone? What are you doing now?" "I'm in the bathroom now. There were a lot of people earlier." "Oh. Anyway, when Avery arrives in Bridgedale, you should take the tto visit her," Ben said.
"I will. How is Elliot?" Lilith asked.
"lI haven't met him yet, but Chad toldthat he's not doing too well. First of all, Layla didn’t want to be with him and threw a fit at home. Second of all, it wasn't Elliot who wanted to get a divorce-Avery was the one who dumped him." Ben did not want to portray Elliot in such a miserable light, but there was nothing he could do to change the fact.
"Oh... Then he must've made shorrible mistake if she was so insistent on divorcing him. | don’t think it's solely because he went to Ylore..." "You don't believe me? In that case, you can ask her why she wanted a divorce when you meet her. Letknow if you managed to find out." Ben was also very curious as to why Avery insisted on getting a divorce. He was certain that there were other reasons.
"Okay, I'm hanging up then if that's all." "Wait! It's been a while since we chatted. Let's talk a little longer!" Ben was actually very tired at the moment, but it was a little difficult for him to fall asleep since he already slept in the afternoon.
"My agent's gonna think that | fell into the toilet bowl if | don't go out soon " "Then you should walk out right now! Just talk within front of her. It's not like there's anything she can do about it," Ben said.

You might be able to brag in front of other people, but it's not going to work with me." "Okay, when's your vacation? I'll go ;a!? TJT? hang out with you." "lI don't want to hang with you when I'm on vacation. I'll spend twith Avery and Hayden." "Alright, you can look for them when you have the time! But don't forget to ringwhen you're free." "We'll see!" Lilith hung up the phone and cout of the bathroom.
A few hours later, Lilith called Hayden after she was done with her day's work.
Hayden answered the phone.
"Hayden, where are you and your mother now? I'm done for the day, so I'm going to visit you!" Lilith wanted to ask Avery what was going on.
"We're busy," Hayden replied concisely. " Focus on your job and don't think about anything else." Lilith was stunned for a moment. "Where's your mother? | called her but | couldn't get through.” "Don't call her. She wants speace and quiet." "Oh..." Lilith was at a loss and did not even know how to begin her question.
