"By the way, didn't you mention that Elliot pays you every month? Is he still doing so?"
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know! My wife manages my bank account."
"Whatever. It’s not that important. I should give you a bonus once we get back." Avery realized that her bodyguard had not rested and had even sacrificed his time with his family. She decided that she was going to reward him with a big bonus once they got back.
"Now that I know that, I won't dare force you to return to Aryadelle," the bodyguard teased.
"Let's just eat! Once we find Hayden, I will consider going back to Aryadelle with him." Though their plans had upset Avery, she was greatly inspired by them. She was not in great danger at the moment, and she did not want to endanger herself in the future. She could not drag her bodyguard and Jed down with her.
At the same time, Christopher was having dinner at home. His new phone was working just fine earlier, but by the time he was done, he picked up his phone to find that the death timer had returned.
No matter how much he tried, he could not get rid of the timer. The situation was made worse by the fact that the timer was the same one from this morning.

"I only have sixty-one hours left to live?!" he thought and threw his phone to the ground.
Startled, his daughter burst into tears, and his wife immediately carried their daughter back into the room.
"Call everyone out!" Christopher barked at the butler. "There's a traitor in my house! I am finding the traitor tonight!"
The technician from this morning had mentioned that even the best of hackers would not be able to hack into his network or phone without his personal information. It could only mean that someone had leaked his personal information, and that information had landed up in the hands of the hacker, resulting in the hacking of his phone.
Shortly after, all servants in the house gathered in the living room and stood in two lines.
