Chapter 178
| put my hands behind my back as | paced back and forth. “Right, so that confirms that we are in the right place.
Luceland is east of New York. Chloe's drunken confession to Ethan’s mom has to be accurate.”
When Ava nodded, | continued. “So, the way | see it, we have two options here. We can either find Russell's old
friend named in the police report and somehow convince her to team up against Chloe. The only problem is that
she might not want to because she might have been friends with Chloe in the past, just like she was with Russell.
It's a good chance that they were all in the sfriend group.”
“Damn it,” Ava said and shook her head. “I hadn't even thought of that.”
“Right, but it's definitely worth a try,” | said. “Hopefully Russell's old friend could give us sclue as to where
his body is buried.”
“Well, our second plan is all thanks to Celeste,” Ava said with a wicked glint in her eye. “Yesterday, she and |
convinced Mrs. Windsor to bring Chloe to the spot where they had buried Russell to burn his remains and release
the spirit. Then, we can follow them and wait for them to reveal evidence that we can use against Chloe. We will
record them digging up that poor boy’ s body, then call the police. While we wait for the cops to come, we will
immediately upload the video to the inteso that there isn’t any way that the Windsor family can use their
money or connections to get Chloe out of trouble this time. The public

| crossed my arms. “I like that plan, but we don’t know when Mrs. Windsor is going to bring Chloe. We only have

Ava sighed. “You're right.”
“But | think both plans are worth a shot. We are just going to have to see what works out better at the moment.”
“Oh, definitely,” she agreed.
We shared a warm smile, and | couldn't believe how lucky | was to have my best friend withon this
investigation.
Once we were done finalizing Plan A and Plan B, we told Aiden he could cout and told him the basics of the
plan. It was the bare minimum for him to know. Ava and | didn’t want to take any more risks with his safety than
we already were by simply bringing him along.
When the sun began to set, our stomachs were growling, so we headed down to the hotel's restaurant for dinner.
But right before we walked into the elevator, Ava clutched her stomach.
“Ow, damn it,” she groaned as her face turned white. “I knew | shouldn't have chugged that iced coffee we had
gotten from that sketchy drive-thru.” She waved Aiden andinto the elevator. “You guys go to dinner without
me. I'm not feeling well.”
Having gone through the ssickness myself just recently, | put my hand on her shoulder. “Ava, | can stay with
you. Aiden

and | can order room service.”
But Ava shook her head, “No, | want to be alone right now.”
Then, she ran back down the hallway,
| stepped forward to go after her, but once | thought about it
more, | paused. It was better to respect her wishes and give her space.
“I hope Ava will be alright,” | said as Aiden and | rode the elevator down.

That just madeworry even more about my best friend.

Of course, at that moment, Alexander, Richard, and Gai walked by our table.
