Chapter 779
Mike summarized the incident in simple wordings and sent it to Avery while attaching a photo of Elliot
that he took in secret along with the message.
It was ten at night in Bridgedale. Avery had just gotten into bed and had yet to fall asleep.
When she saw the message Mike sent, she tried to picture the reason behind Elliot‘s action, but her
siblings.

If it was done to seek revenge from Chelsea for causing Avery to go into delivery early, why would he
burn Charlie‘s apartment down, and why did he choose to do so at such a time?
There had to be something else going on apart from his history with the Tierney siblings.
Had it been any time before, Avery would have confronted Elliot to ask him what had happened
between them, but she no longer had the energy for that.
Her three children had taken up eighty percent of her energy; and what little was left was reserved for
treating Adrian‘s illness.
She hade to an agreement with the White Family that she would perform the first surgery on
Adrian after new years. After the first surgery, they would decide if they could proceed with the second
surgery based on the oue.
Seeing that she did not reply, Mike took a photo of Hayden and La and sent it to her.
This time, she couldn‘t help but reply, ‘why are La‘s eyes so red? Did she cry?‘
‘Yeah. Shea‘s photo was disyed at the funeral and she cried when she saw it.‘
Avery was overwhelmed with emotions when she received his reply. If she was at the funeral, she
wouldn‘t be able to hold back her tears as well.
After remaining silent for a while, she sent another message.
‘How is he?‘
‘Which one? Are you talking about Hayden or Elliot?‘
Avery gasped awkwardly.
Mike was teasing her on purpose, but did not want to enrage her, so he replied right away.
‘Hayden didn‘t cry, but has been frowning the entire time. Elliot is the same. There‘s no doubt that they
are father and son. They are practically identical.‘
Avery held onto her phone slowly began to drift off the sleep.
Shea would rest in peace and all the pain would sooner orter fade.
Meanwhile, in a hospital in Aryadelle.
Wanda rushed to the hospital at the first chance she had to visit Charlie. It wasn‘t that she truly cared if
Charlie lived or died; she simply wanted to see how miserable he was.
Elliot told her the night before that she would not have a happy ending, and because of that, she had
not been able to sleep much since the fire.
She had seen her share of vicious people, and she herself was someone who would do anything to get
what she wanted; but Elliot was different from them all.
Because of how powerful and wealthy Elliot was, it would take someone with nine lives to defeat him in
Aryadelle.
Inside the ward, Charlie‘s body waspletely wrapped in bandages except for his eyes and mouth.
Wanda set the flowers and fruits she brought down and consoled Charlie‘s mother.
"Sis, this is not an ident," she said, "Elliot set the ce on fire."
When she spoke, Charlie reacted right away from the bed. He tried to nod but his eyes were soon filled
with tears from the pain.
His mother felt even worse when she saw her son‘s reaction.
"Charlie, we just need to protect our own properties. If you focus too much on taking something that
belongs to others, you could risk what you have in the end!" Charlie‘s mother knew how ambitious her
son was, and felt helpless when she saw what had happened to him.
"Don‘t cry, sis. Charlie will get better," Wanda said, "I want to talk to him, alone. I will talk some sense
into him."
Charlie‘s mother nodded and left the room.
Wanda said to Charlie, "I seeing how you‘ve ended up is like looking into my own future, but I don‘t
want to submit to my fate, so I have to gamble. I thought of a perfect n and I will surely be able to
get that box. However, I will not be working with you any longer, because you have been utterly
defeated this time."
