In their past two meetings, Avery had been in a rush. Avery wasn’t sure if it was because of her looks, but he felt a sense of familiarity around her.
“You don’t have to be so formal, Ms. Evans. Have a seat.”
The two sat down opposite each other. Madison clasped her hands together as she spoke in a trembling voice. “Pardon me, Mr. Evans, but I have something to ask of you.”
“Please don’t say that, Ms. Evans. You saved my life. It doesn’t matter what sort of help you want me to provide. You can just tell me.”
Avery had an earnest look on his face. Madison knew that he must sincerely wish to thank her. Otherwise, he would’ve settled it by giving her money.
“Time is of the essence, so I won’t beat around the bush. Mr. Evans, how much do you know about Toxic Hive?”
Avery took a few sips of the lemonade. Setting down the glass, he had a serene look on his face.
“Hm, I may know more about them than the average person. Ms. Evans, tell me what you want me to do. As long as it’s something I can do, I won’t decline.”
Madison replied, “I was kidnapped by people from Toxic Hive some time ago, and I almost died. Their people targeted me on various occasions.
“Not only that, but my mother was diagnosed with leukemia. We still haven’t found a matching bone marrow donor for her.
“She wasn’t supposed to be in the advanced stage. But her condition suddenly worsened this morning. The doctor has already issued an advanced directive.”
Madison spoke quickly. She didn’t hide anything from this stranger that she had only met for the third time.
“I’m suspecting that Toxic Hive did something to her. That’s why she worsened ahead of time.
“Now, to save my mother’s life, my stepfather is going to make a trade with Toxic Hive. I fear that they may already have a trap in place.”
Madison looked helpless. “I’m sorry for asking you to do something like this even though we just got to know each other, Mr. Evans. But I have no other choice.
“Six months ago, my father got into an accident. Now, my mother only has a few dozen hours left. I only dared to ask you for help after learning about your identity.”
Avery said, “Please don’t say that, Ms. Evans. I wouldn’t just sit by and watch even if it’s solely because we share the same last name.
“I can do something about Toxic Hive, but what do you want me to do?”
Madison’s mind was in a mess. “I … want to save my mother’s life, but I don’t trust Toxic Hive. There’s a deep grudge between me and Toxic Hive. To be honest, I don’t know what to do.”
She spoke at a slow pace. “If possible, I want to find the person who keeps trying to kill me. But she has gone into hiding these days, so I can’t find her anywhere.”
With that, Madison seemed a little regretful. She thought that she sounded a little pathetic for telling a stranger about this.
She didn’t know what came over her. She felt very reassured when she met Avery. Before she knew it, she had already told him everything on her mind.
Avery rubbed his fingers against the smooth glass. “Calm down. I’ll think of a way to help you figure out who tried to kidnap and kill you.
“As for your mother, I’ll send people to ask around in Toxic Hive. I’ll try to make sure that stepfather won’t be harmed. Is that okay?”
your Madison nodded. “Do you have a way, Mr. Evans?”
Seeing her gleaming eyes, Avery had the urge to get her even the stars in the sky.
“Yes, I have some connections. I’m glad that I can help you too. It’s getting late, so do order something to eat. You need to eat to get energy. I’ll go out and make a call.”
Madison nodded, watching the man leave elegantly. She felt much more secure now.
Avery walked to a deserted corridor, his assistant following right after him. He had a dark look n his eyes. The gentleness he had when he was with Madison was gone.
“Two things. One, find the person who tried to kill Ms. Evans. Two, protect Chris.”
Bryce nodded. “Understood, Mr. Evans.”
After thinking for a moment, Bryce added, “Mr. Evans, why are you so nice to Ms.
Avery returned to the private room with a faint smile on his lips. “Sorry for the wait. I’ve already sent someone to deal with your problems. Don’t worry.”
The man looked a little pale. When he smiled, there was a tiny dimple on his left cheek. He looked much friendlier now.
“Thank you so much. Mr. Evans, you don’t look too well. Why don’t you get treated at the hospital? It’d be dangerous if you fainted again like you did last time.”
“It’s an old issue. It’s nothing too serious.”
The waiter came over with their food. Madison smiled at Avery. “I ordered some food. I don’t know if you’d like what I ordered, though.”
Avery had maintained this amicable air about him. So, Madison didn’t feel as nervous as she did at the beginning.
As they dined, Madison was surprised to find that her tastes were like Avery’s. They dropped slightly more of the formalities from before.
Avery gazed at her with a gentle look in his eyes. “I think of my sister when I see you. She’s about the same age as you.”
“Your sister must be very pretty.”
At the mention of his sister, Avery’s eyes lit up. “Yes, she’s very pretty. She was the apple of everyone’s eye since young. We pampered her to no end. But then…”
With that, the light suddenly went out of Avery’s eyes. Madison hastily asked, “Did something happen to her?”
“That troublesome child went missing. I came here to look for her. I received news that she had entered this country.”
“Is she still in Aldenvine?”
“I’m not sure. The only thing I know for sure is that she came here. She might have hidden her tracks to prevent us from locating her. So, even after arriving here, I still haven’t found her.”
“No wonder you fainted by the road that day. Was it because you were looking for Ms. Evans?”
Avery nodded. “Yes.”
He pulled up a photo on his phone. “This is my sister. I will be leaving Aldenvine soon. If find any clues, please inform me.”
you The woman in the photos was wearing a black outfit as she leaned against a black motorcycle.
She looked cool and wild.
“Ms. Evans has quite the personality. I thought that people from great families like yours would always be elegant. I never expected her to be this cool.”
“Ah, yes.”
At the mention of his sister, Avery added, “Quinn was quite docile when she was young. But then, she somehow started rebelling.
“She refused to study, and she would either chase after celebrities or race on the streets. We’re very concerned about her. Last year, she got herself a boyfriend, and she insisted on getting married to him.
“She’s already of marriageable age, but she’s the treasured daughter of the Evanss, after all. It’s not that we only accept wealthy candidates …
“However, the man had a less-than-satisfying background. He also has a history of domestic violence and being generally unkind to women. He also didn’t seem like the ambitious type.
“Ms. Evans, if it were you, would you let your sister get married to someone like him?”
Madison shook her head. “Marriage is different from dating. It’s a woman’s second chance to change her life. If she chooses the wrong person, she will fall from heaven right into hell.
“I can see that Ms. Evans was taking the plunge without thinking about it.”
Madison knew this all too well. Hunter had an amazing background, but in the end, he left her with nothing but wounds and scars.
“Yes, we just want Quinn to marry someone reliable, and someone who’d sincerely treat her well. But no matter how you look at that man, he didn’t fulfill those requirements.”
Madison had more or less guessed what happened. “After your family objected to it, did Ms. Evans run away with this man?”
Avery frowned deeply. “Yes. For the past six months, the man had convinced her to stand up against her family. She thought that we wanted to marry her off so that the family’s status could be secured.
“I’m not boasting here, but there aren’t many families in this world that could rival ours. We’re not in any financial crisis, either, so why would we form a marriage alliance?
“Even if we did want to arrange a marriage, she has four older brothers. We would be the ones getting an arranged marriage instead.
“We can’t possibly sacrifice the future of our sister, who we pampered and loved since young.”
Madison could imagine how much the Evanss loved Quinn. She was also amazed at how rich they were.
She couldn’t imagine just grabbing a billion dollars and running away.
“So she never contacted you?”
“No. She blocked us before she left. We couldn’t contact her at all.”
“What about the money? She’ll have to spend some money at least, right? Can’t you figure out where she is based on the sources of her expenditure?”
Avery shook his head. “I wish we could. Two months ago, she caused quite a lot of damage to the house. When she left, the whole family was cleaning up after her.
“We feared that she would do something even worse if we cornered her. So, we decided to let her leave for now.
“We hoped that she would choose to come home after realizing how dark things could be outside.
“But we didn’t expect her to hide her traces. She also began laundering the money quickly. She transferred the billion dollars out of her account.
“When we realized that something was wrong, she had already arrived in Aldenvine. Her account was empty, so we couldn’t locate her based on her expenditure.”
