The more Madison heard, the more suspicious it sounded to her. “Mr. Evans, this doesn’t sound like eloping. It feels more like it was planned ahead of time.
“If they could launder the money in such a short time, they must have a professional team behind the scenes. They could even avoid getting tracked by your family. Do you think Ms. Evans was scammed?”
Avery agreed. “We thought the same as well. We went to look for the man’s family, but we realized that his nationality and identity were all faked. No one knew who he truly was.
“My family has been searching for a whole month. I especially came to Aldenvine because she said that she loved this country and wanted to live here.
“I’ve been here for a week, but I haven’t heard any news about her.”
Avery sighed heavily. “We’re all very anxious these days. We just want to find Quinn as soon as possible. That child…”
The phone on the desk started vibrating. Giving Madison an apologetic look, he answered the call.
“Hello.” His voice was gentle.
A charming female voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Have you found Quinn, Avery?”
Avery answered honestly, “I haven’t gotten any news so far.”
“She might have left Aldenvine already. Take care, Avery. Don’t miss your dialysis appointment. You’re all alone outside, and I’m worried about you.”
“Silly child, I’m fine. Just stay home and take good care of Dad and Mom. I’ll bring Quinn back.
“Okay. Then I won’t bother you anymore, Avery.”
The call ended. Avery said, “That was the sixth child of our family, Sia. Unlike Quinn, she’s gentle and obedient.”
Madison noticed the tenderness in his gaze. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “You have quite the lively family, Mr. Evans.”
“Yes, my parents have always been close to each other. After Sia was born, my mother’s health declined. It was only then that she stopped giving birth.”
Avery remembered what he read from Madison’s documents. Her parents divorced early on, and she had been living in a single-parent household all this while.
Her father got into an accident two years ago, and she got divorced six months ago. He could see that her life was quite tough as well.
“Would you like something more to eat?” Avery asked gently.
Madison shook her head. “It’s okay, I’m quite full. Thank you, Mr. Evans.”
Thinking of something, Madison returned to the topic.
“Mr. Evans, can I ask a few more questions about Toxic Hive? I heard that they did a lot of experiments in various countries, and they hurt a lot of people. Is that true?”
Avery took a sip of the lemonade. “Yes, but no one probably told you about Toxic Hive’s previous form.”
Madison was a little surprised. “Toxic Hive’s previous form?”
Avery touched the glass in his hand. There was a deep look in his eyes, which Madison couldn’t understand. “Everything in this world has two sides. Nothing is entirely good, nor is there anything wholly bad.”
Seeing that there was no one around them, Avery revealed the truth.
“In reality, the medical organization that was first established was called Peace’s Embrace. The name signified their wish for everything in the world to be embraced by peace.
“At first, this organization was established for research that would benefit humanity. It invited top scholars and specialists from various countries.
“This was so that they could focus on illnesses that humanity couldn’t cure. Examples would be cancer, AIDS, leukemia, rabies, and other diseases caused by viruses.
“But gradually, there was a disagreement within the organization.”
Madison asked, “What disagreement?”
“Some experiments were inhumane. Experiments usually need clinical trials. It wasn’t something you could achieve with the loss of one or two human lives.
“They hired anyone willing at a high price. Those volunteers would sign the death waiver of their own accord. But not everyone was willing to do that.
“Since they lacked subjects, they would have to get more via special methods.”
With that, Avery glanced at Madison. “You know about organizations that profit by illegally selling humans as goods, right? They don’t care about their consciences at all.
“People who were bought through those channels usually had a strong desire to live. That’s when the disagreement happened.
“Some people thought that it was inhumane to conduct experiments on people who wanted to live. It was no different from killing them.
“The others only wanted good results. They thought that it would be worth sacrificing the lives of a few to save even more.
“Hence, after a huge argument, a part of the organization left with the extremists. Then, they established the organization known as Toxic Hive.
“Toxic Hive and Peace’s Embrace are like the sun and the moon. They had different methods of doing things. In the end, things went out of hand, and Toxic Hive didn’t care about human lives anymore.”
When Madison heard that, she felt emotional. “I didn’t know it had such a history.”
“According to what I know, Toxic Hive has connections with officials in many countries. But your country has always strictly prohibited them.
“Toxic Hive can’t officially build their nest here, so they would do it in secret at most. As soon as they were found out, they would be rooted on the spot.
“So, only a minor branch of Toxic Hive is stationed here. Its roots are also quite shallow, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Avery reached up to pat Madison on the head, but he stopped himself in time. He was too used to comforting his sisters at home.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
Madison chatted with him for a while until Kelvin knocked on the door. “Mrs. Williams, Mr. Williams is waiting for you at home.”
Madison gave Avery an apologetic glance. “I have to go.”
“Okay.”
They exchanged contact information. Avery said gently, “I’ll contact you as soon as I get information.”
“Thank you.”
Madison followed Kelvin into the car. Kelvin’s expression didn’t look too good. “Mrs. Williams, do you know his identity?”
“Yes, I do.”
“He’s a prominent figure, but he invited only you for a meal. I think he has ulterior motives.”
Madison was feeling frustrated with everything going on at that moment. So, she didn’t react too well either. “What’s the matter? Do I not have the freedom to dine with someone of the opposite sex now?”
“I don’t mean it like that. I just worry that you might be in danger. Toxic Hive is still out and about, but Mr. Evans asked to meet you for no reason.
“I was just worried. You still don’t know what happened to Ms. Davis, right?”
The topic suddenly changed. Madison looked at him. “What happened to Andrea?”
“Mr. Williams wanted to meet up with her to ask about some things. But on her way here, she met with an accident. The driver died on the spot, and she was taken away.”
It was Madison’s turn to be surprised. “Was it a serious accident?”
“Judging from the traces at the scene, it was very serious. There was a lot of blood in the backseat. Even if Ms. Davis didn’t die, she won’t be alive for long.”
Back in the Williams residence, Hunter had a slightly sad look on his face. But when he saw Madison, his gaze instantly turned gentle.
“You’re back.”
Madison couldn’t care about what had happened between them. She walked right up to Hunter.” What happened to Andrea?”
“We’re not sure if she’s alive or not.”
“Is it the work of Toxic Hive?”
“We can’t be sure about that yet. I wanted to meet up to ask her about Ms. Parker. I didn’t expect something to happen to her even before we managed to meet up. But she probably won’t die.”
Madison asked, “Why?”
“If they wanted to silence her by killing her, they could just give it a little push after the accident. She was barely alive then, and she would be considered dead because of an accident.
“They went through the trouble to take her away, so it’s obvious that they’re not after her life.”
Madison frowned as well. She asked, “Why would they do something to Andrea?”
If Madison was Chloe’s reason for getting harmed, she wondered what Andrea’s was.
Hunter rubbed between his eyebrows, exhausted. “There’s one thing we can be sure of. Andrea has something to do with the sudden worsening of Ms. Parker’s condition.
“They were probably worried that Andrea might tell me something when we met up. So, they planned the accident.”
Madison punched the back of the couch. “Who exactly are they? Why would this benefit them at all?”
At first, she could pinpoint it on Leia. But now that these things had happened, she couldn’t understand what they were trying to do at all.
She wondered if their ultimate goal was to get rid of Hunter and everyone close to him.
