Seeing Mike’s reply, Avery calmed down a little.
Since she already had her suspicions, she should find a way to confirm them.
Whether or not it was as she thought it was, at least, after confirming it, she would no longer think about it.
However, she needed to look after Shea's child at the moment. She could not go to Ylore.
She had to wait until Shea's child had a smooth birth, then only could she make plans.
Perhaps, she had been thinking too deeply into this matter; her head hurt a lot.
She walked over to the bed. She planned to sleep for a while to see if she could relieve the pain.
At Sterling Group, after Ben received the call from Ruby asking for help, he called her back almost immediately. The call connected, but no one picked up.
Under normal circumstances, if one saw an incoming call, one would either pick up or reject the call.
If they truly did not want to answer the call, they could block the number. That way, the other party would not be able to call back.
However, Ruby had not blocked him. Why would she just ignore his calls?
Could she have not seen it? However, after she had called him to ask for help, he had called back immediately.
No matter what, he refused to believe that Ruby would fall asleep soundly right after calling him for help.
As time passed by, Ben grew certain that something must have happened to Ruby.
"Elliot, Ruby's phone has been turned off." Ben called Ruby once more. When he heard the automated response, his expression darkened. "Something must have happened!"
Elliot had come to the same conclusion as Ben. Ever since Ben had called Ruby, and she had not picked up, he had already come to that conclusion.
"Ivy is in danger right now. She will understand," Elliot said and shut his computer.
"Don’t be impulsive. Let's wait for Nick's reply first! If we head to the airport now, we won't be able to receive any news for a long time after boarding. It's too torturous." Ben sat in the chair and consoled him," Everyone knows that Ivy is your daughter. Whether it's Edward and his gang, or some other enemy of the Goulds, they will most probably not dare to harm Ivy."
"I'm just afraid of accidents." Elliot gritted his teeth. He said what he was thinking: " Mike has told me previously that he wanted to kill Ruby and Ivy."
Ben was taken aback.
Mike?!
At that moment, a phone rang. The sudden ringtone caused the nervous atmosphere to reach its peak.
Elliot picked up his phone and saw that it was from Nick. Ben immediately stood up from his chair and walked over to Elliot. He wanted to listen in on the call.
