Chapter 145 The New Year's Eve
Frank also bought a new set of clothes for Ethan.
The children were all happy, shouting, "It's the New Year."
Avery didn't expect that she would spend New Year's Eve on a special island with a group of strangers.
And Ethan was in her arms.
After dinner, as soon as it got dark, the children gathered to set off fireworks. Even Ethan had two sparklers stuffed in his hands.
Avery had taken many photos of him in the past few days, and her phone had run out of battery.
Luckily, Frank came back with a charger connected to a solar panel. Her phone was then charged up.
As Avery pressed the shutter, the corners of her mouth curved up.
For a moment, she forgot about the pain of being imprisoned by Jacob. She just wanted to indulge herself in happiness.
"Avy, come and set off firecrackers with us."
"Sure."
Firecrackers soared into the sky, and beneath the dazzling fireworks were the joyful faces of the children.
Unlike their joyous days, in the study room of the Hill Mansion...
Jacob smashed the ashtray in front of him onto the ground. So far, no news had come from his networks.
First, the identities of those people couldn't be traced, and secondly, their whereabouts were unknown.
He thought the other party would quickly make demands, but to his surprise, it had been five days without any follow-up.
