Chapter 1782
Avery called Mike and gave him that reminder because she knew that Elliot would try and gain
custody of Ivy if he caught wind of what was happening.
She had not seen Robert for three years, and she did not even know if she would be able to meet
him when she returns to Aryadelle.
Letting him have custody of Ivy was thest thing she wanted because she feared it might be
difficult for her to see Ivy again in the future.
Ivy might well be dead, but it was better to have a little hope than to immediately assume that the
child was dead.
Mike knew what she was thinking.
The reason she and Elliot had a divorce was because of Ivy.
If she had known since then that Ivy was their child, it might not have set off the domino effect that
led to the copse of everything. It no longer mattered that she found out the truth about Ivy being
her child because her rtionship with Elliot had long since broken down.
After the call ended, Mike went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.
He then remembered that Avery wanted a photo of Ivy and recalled having saved Ivy’s photos on
his phone before. However, he did not remember going to the trouble of deleting them, which meant
that they might still be somewhere in his gallery.
Once he came out of the bathroom, he searched his cell phone for Ivy''s photo and sent it to Avery
before calling Chad to get some information about Ivy''s situation.
He never asked about Ivy from Chad when Elliot previously tried to find her, and Chad did not take
the initiative to tell him either.
Moments after making the call, Chad finally answered the phone.
"I''m very busy today..." Mike''s call happened toe at a time when people at Aryadelle were
about to clock in for work. It was the busiest time of the day for Chad.
Mike never called him at that sort of time.
"I have something very important to ask you, but you need to go to the bathroom and hide!" Mike
demanded.
"What is wrong with you? Just spit it out. What''s so important?" Chad did not follow his instruction to
go to the bathroom, not unless it was genuinely that important. "I''d like to ask about Ivy. Is it
convenient for you to speak right now?" Mike asked. " Remember when Elliot went to Ylore to find
Ivy? What happened in the end?"
Chad did not expect him to ask that question.
"Why are you asking me this during my working hours? Who told you to ask this?" Chad walked
toward the bathroom.
Mike had never asked any questions about Ivy during the past two years or so. It was therefore so
much more surprising that he asked that question out of the blue.
"It just suddenly urred to me that I don''t remember whether or not she''s ever been found. I
guess I''m just thinking too much because I have too much time on my h;f-; UKS>s.” Mike
remembered Avery''s reminder to him.
It was always best not to tell Chad anything that should be kept secret from Elliot. After all, the two
of them worked together every day, and if Chad could inadvertently tell Elliot about it when sober,
there was an even greater chance that Chad would let the cat out of the bag if the two of them
drank together.

"Are you joking? What does this have to do with you? I''m appalled that you have the nerve to call
that important!" Chadshed out as he went out of the bathroom. "You want an answer? I''ll give you
an answer. I have no idea because I didn’t go to Ylore with them and I didn''t ask them either."
"Them?"
"Ben went with Elliot. If you really want to know the whereabouts of that child, you can always ask
him," Chad said and was about to hang up.
"Hmph! I''m not going to ask Ben! I''ll ask Lilith to ask him."
"Well, aren''t you a smarty pants?" Chad praised. "I don''t think he found Ivy though. I haven’t heard
about it at all, and if there really was any news, I wouldn''t have known nothing about it."
