Avery quickly walked to the gate. Seeing Elliot's weary and sleep-deprived face, she furrowed her brows.
"Elliot, what on earth is wrong with you? It's only six. The sun isn't even up yet..." Avery felt a little lightheaded. She felt as if she
had run out of breath.
"Open the gate." Elliot looked at the locked gate.
"Tellwhy are you here first." Avery looked at his reddened eyes. She suddenly thought about Layla's call the night before.
At that thought, before he could answer, she opened the gate and let him in.
"Do you know why I'm here?" He looked at the opened gate. He took a jab at Avery. "
Avery, don't you feel guilty?" "Guilty of what? | have never committed any crimes or betrayed my loved ones." Avery was so furious
she was trembling. She strode inside.

Elliot followed her and entered as well.
"Miss Tate, since you're up, I'll go get you sbreakfast?" The bodyguard could sense the oppressing aura around them. " What
do you want to eat?"
It was too early at that moment. Avery did not have an appetite. "lI don’t want anything. You go get sfor yourself!"
The bodyguard responded and was about to head out.
"Geta bowl of granola, a croissant, and a cappuccino. If there are bacon pancakes, get them fortoo," Elliot said.
The bodyguard was stunned. Did Elliot eat that much for breakfast every day?
Avery was stunned too. "If you want breakfast, go get it yourself. Why are you ordering my bodyguard to do it?"
After she said that, Elliot immediately took cash out from his wallet and passed it to the bodyguard. "Thank you."
The bodyguard did not hesitate. He accepted the cash and said gratefully, "I'll go get it right now. Please wait for a while."
After the bodyguard left, Avery looked at Elliot coldly.
"Say what you want to say. After that, I'm going back to sleep.”
Elliot looked at her. "Someone toldthat your boyfriend is short and ugly. Showhis photo."
Avery was stunned by the words short and ugly.
"Who told you my boyfriend is short and ugly?"
"I put out a bounty for fifteen million dollars for information on your boyfriend. Naturally, people will tellabout it." Elliot did not
mind telling her what he had done.
"Fifteen million dollars?" Avery could not help but cough. "If you really want to know, just ask me!"

"Aren't | here asking you now?"
"Have you given away your fifteen million? " Avery blinked. She thought that he was extremely foolish!
"Not yet. | need to confirm the matter with you first. Only you can tellif it is true or not." "Oh..." Avery let out a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest. "Why do you want to know about my boyfriend? Elliot, | have never pried into your personal affairs, right?
You're invading my privacy."
"Layla cto talk tolast night. She cried terribly." Elliot saw how defensive she was, so he told her the truth.
Avery did not think he would bring it up.
"I know. Layla toldthat you were hiding in your study secretly crying." At that, she lowered her gaze. She did not dare to look at
him. "Elliot, what do you wantto do? You're making things awkward. [—"
"The detective | hired calledlast night. He said that a group of human traffickers have been captured. After the arrest, a burial
pit was found. There were many baby bones in the burial pit. Our daughter, Ivy, might have died in that pit."
Elliot explained why he had been crying the night before. He had not told Layla the truth because Layla, in her misunderst=a"?
SNT?ing, had opened up to him.
