Chapter 1332


    It became clear that Jed and Avery’s bodyguard did not want him there, and it was clear that they did


    not want him to drink the juice. The juice was average juice, and so the reason they did not want him to


    drink it could not be because it was some kind of precious or expensive juice.


    Suspecting that something was wrong, Elliot raised the ss and pretended to drink it.


    "Hey! Don''t drink that!" Jed said and snatched the ss out of Elliot''s hand.


    Avery''s expression instantly darkened.


    "Why can''t he drink it?" She nced at the ss of juice in her hand. "Is there something wrong with


    the juice?" As soon as those words were out, the entire table fell silent. Both Jed and the bodyguard


    lowered their heads, uncertain of what to say.


    Arron picked up the spoon and said, "There might be something wrong with the juice, but the food is


    fine, right? I''m starving! Can I eat?"


    "The food is fine so go ahead!" Jed said.


    "''The food is fine'', so you are admitting that something is wrong with the juice, then? Were you nning


    on poisoning her?"


    "Why would we ever poison her? It’s just sleeping pills," Jed exined frantically.


    Once the truth was out, Avery immediately got up to leave.


    "Avery, let me exin!" Jed caught up to her and pulled her back. "We wanted to take you back to


    Aryadelle. Look at you, even Hayden is worried about you. He came all the way here for you. If you


    continue to stay here, what will you do if your other childes over as well?"


    "So you decided to lie to me and drug me?" Avery could not ept what they plotted to do to her.


    "Boss, you won''t listen when we try to reason with you!" the bodyguard said in resignation. "We


    wouldn''t have resorted to this unless we had run out of options!"


    Avery was still furious.


    "They are right. You should leave,” Elliot drawled.


    "I can’t leave now! How can I leave when Hayden is here? Even if I were to leave, I have to leave with


    him." Avery red at him. "You are barely managing to take care of yourself, so I don''t need you to


    worry about me."


    Seeing that the two were about to get into an argument, Jed sighed. "Let''s just eat first, or the food will


    get cold. If you don''t want to leave, then we will stay. Just me me for what''s happened tonight. It''s


    my idea."


    "Miss Tate, it''s no Jed''s fault. Ruby Gould was the one who came up with this idea. She came looking


    for him earlier today."


    Once Ruby''s name was mentioned, everyone turned to stare at Elliot.


    "You all go on! I am leaving now." Elliot felt ufortable >a*=TIR> stood up to leave.


    Aaron caught up to him, and soon, the two disappeared from sight.


    Avery called the waiter over to take the jug away while the bodyguard and Jed kept their heads down,


    not daring to look at her.

    Jed and the bodyguardplied.


    "What else were you two plotting? Go on and tell me!" She took Jed''s coconut milk and filled her ss


    with it.


    Jed shook his head. "We only nned to get you out of here. You should have woken up by the time


    we left the country."


    "Aren''t you afraid that I would end our friendship?" She took a sip of coconut milk and asked.
