Chapter 532
Judging by the way she looked, it was impossible that Avery was fine.
Even the children could feel that something was wrong, and it was not a small matter either.
“Take your sister and have dinner first, Hayden. I’ll take dinner upstairs to your mother,” said the nanny.
Hayden took Layla’s hand and led her to the dining35 room.
The nanny prepared a tray of food and took it upstairs,
In the master bedroom on the second floor, Avery’s hand was trembling as she pulled the tape recorder out of
thee8 box.
Without a hint of hesitation, she hit the pay button.
“Rumor has it that Professor James Hough had a last pupil whose skills surpassed his! Tell me who it79 is!”
“I don’t know. The professor never told me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe familiar voice in the recording made the trembling in Avery’s body87 worsen!
It was Wesley’s voice!
“I see. Since you don’t know, then I’ll cut off your finger and send it to the most likely candidate… Let’s see if we
can get her to comeza here.”
The ominous tone in the other voice was eerily sinister.
What followed was the sound of a knife slamming onto a surface, and a shocking scream!
Wesley’s cry of sheer agony made Avery break down instantly!
Tears blurred her vision as she clenched her fists. Her nails were digging into her palms, but she could not feel the
pain!
The nanny stood in front of the door to the master bedroom with the tray of food in her hands.
As she was about to knock on the door, she vaguely heard the sound of a scream from inside the bedroom.
She ran downstairs with the tray in horror.
“She’s not eating?” asked the bodyguard when he saw the nanny come down the stairs with the tray still carrying
the food she prepared earlier.
The nanny walked over to the bodyguard’s side, then whispered, “Hurry up and call Mike. Tell him to come home
right away. Something’s wrong!”
“Is Miss Tate in trouble?!”
“No! It’s that package… It was something scary!” said the nanny softly as she glanced over to the dining room.
The children were in the middle of dinner, but their eyes were fixed on the nanny and the bodyguard.
“Go outside and call Mike. I’ll check on the kids,” the nanny said, then headed toward the dining room.
The children were still young. No matter what was happening, it would be best if they were not involved.
After Mike got the bodyguard’s call, he sobered up right away.
His dinner meeting tonight was with a few of Sterling Group’s managers. They were the ones who invited him out
for dinner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was because the news of Elliot and Avery’s intimate relationship had spread through the entire company.
“Chad, something’s up. I have to go,” Mike said to Chad as he got up from his seat.
“What’s wrong?” Chad saw the heavy expression on his face, then got up and left the room with him.
“The bodyguard called and said Avery received a mysterious package… She opened it up, then locked herself in her
room,” Mike explained as he pulled out his car keys.
“You drank tonight! Get someone else to drive you,” Chad said. “Or you could take a cab…”
Mike only had a bottle of beer that night and was not drunk at all, but he obediently put his keys away anyway.
“I’ll go home and check things out. If it’s nothing, I’ll come back and drink with you guys.” Mike patted Chad on the
shoulder and said, “Go on back inside!”
“I don’t think it’s nothing.” Chad felt uneasy. “Text me when you get home.”
Mike gestured an “OK” sign at him, then hailed a cab by the street.
Over at Starry River Villa, Avery walked down the stairs carrying a small suitcase.
When Avery saw her mother with a suitcase, she burst into tears. “Where are you going, Mommy? It’s so late! It’s
dark out! I don’t want you to go!”
