Gwen looked at Nathan’s slightly hunched back, his eyes couldn’t help but get wet.
Nathan is no longer the tall, violent and frightening man in her eyes. He is not a qualified father. He has never loved her like a normal father, but it is undeniable that she was raised by him.
Gwen lied to him when she said she would throw away his ashes just now. She did not contact the crematorium staff at all. She said that on purpose to make his father angry. She wanted to see if he would be frightened and came to beg her.
After coming out of the detention center, Gwen stopped a car on the side of the road and reported the address of Ben Schaffer’s home.
After she told Ben Schaffer that she wanted to go to school, Ben Schaffer found her the admission brochures of two universities and let her choose.
Although she has been quarreling with Ben Schaffer, Ben Schaffer took what she said to heart, which moved her very much. She was determined not to live the same life as before. Averie said that life is yours, and the path you choose to take is entirely up to you.
Back at Schaffer’s house, Gwen entered the door code. After the courtyard door opened, the black car parked in the courtyard attracted her attention.
This was not Ben Schaffer’s car.
When Gwen came out of the house, the car was not in the yard. She crossed the yard anxiously and walked to the door of the villa.
Before she could press the code, the door was pulled open from the inside. A man with kind eyes and facial features like Ben Schaffer appeared in front of her.
Gwen immediately guessed that this was Ben Schaffer’s father.
Gwen: “Hello, uncle.”
“You are Gwen, Come in.” Russell Schaffer invited her into the room.
After entering the house, she saw Juniper sitting on the sofa and was drinking tea.
“Gwen, come here.” Juniper glanced at Gwen calmly, “I came over today with your uncle and saw a woman’s luggage in the guest room, we didn’t know you lived here, Ben Schaffer last time Said that after you moved out, you didn’t tell me that you moved back again. So I accidentally flipped through your luggage and saw this.”
Juniper picked up a color ultrasound form from the coffee table.
This is the color Doppler ultrasound that Gwen did when she went to the hospital for an examination. It was confirmed that there is a gestational sac in the body.
“Auntie, this is mine.” Gwen walked over and took the ultrasound form.
“Well, your name is written on it. Gwen, can you tell me about the child in your womb…”
“I can’t tell you.” Gwen didn’t want to lie to her or tell her frank.
Her relationship with Ben Schaffer was too embarrassing. If Ben Schaffer knew that the child belonged to him, he would definitely be tougher to let her get rid of it.
“Oh… Does Ben Schaffer know about this?” The smile on Juniper’s face disappeared.
“he knows.”
“He knew you were pregnant, and he let you live in. It seems that you are pregnant with his child. Haha! That’s great. I knew you two were having fun.” Juniper laughed excitedly, suddenly remembering the news of Elyette’s death, “Hey, I heard about your brother, don’t be too sad, don’t move the fetal gas. If you give birth to this child, everything in Ben Schaffer will be your child’s in the future, and your child’s will be yours.”
“Auntie, no, I didn’t want to use the child to get his property. Everything was an accident.” Gwen seemed to be on trial. She had never been so ambitious.
“You two are alone in the same room, of course accidents are prone to happen. Hahaha!” Juniper couldn’t hide her joy, “You are Elyette’s sister, and his father and I will definitely not treat you badly. I know You have suffered a lot in the past, and we will take care of you as our own daughter.”
Gwen looked at the kind faces of Juniper and Russell, the rebuttal words were on her lips, and she could not say them.
She had never felt such warmth from her elders. She seemed to be drowning in a honeypot and was reluctant to come out.
She knew it was bad, but She couldn’t control it.
……
Yonroeville.
Ben Schaffer went to and from several times and found one of Kyrie’s subordinates.
“Mr. Foster died in a car accident.”
“Did in a car accident? Are you sure it was an accident and not a murder?” Ben Schaffer was furious, “Bring Kyrie here. I want to confront him.”
His hand lowered his head: “Mr. Schaffer, Don’t embarrass me. After Mr. Foster’s accident, Brother Kyrie was heartbroken, and now he is in the hospital.”
“Are you sure he is too sad, not hiding in the hospital and afraid to come out?” Ben Schaffer roared.
The subordinate said, “This is Brother Carrier’s territory, and Brother Carrier is not afraid of anyone. Brother Carrier and Mr. Foster are friends, how could he murder Mr. Foster? Besides, didn’t Mr. Foster already take over the Sterling Group’s equity in the company been transferred out? What benefits will Brother Kyrie get from murdering him at this time?”
Ben Schaffer couldn’t answer.
“Mr. Foster came here by plane. It means that in his heart, he still regards Brother Carrier as a friend. And there is no interest between them for a long time. How could Brother Carrier attack Mr. Foster?”
“Mr. Schaffer, I understand that you are very sad and also We are too.” The man’s face was heavy.
“Where did he get into the car accident? Where is his body?” Ben Schaffer thought for a while, and it was true that Elyette and Kyrie had long since lost interest.
Kyrie shouldn’t kill Elyette.
“Mr. Foster was involved in a car accident on the winding mountain highway. That day, Brother Kyrie invited Mr. Foster to listen to the scriptures on the mountain. Because Mr. Foster was in a bad mood, Brother Kyrie specially invited a high-ranking monk, hoping to make Mr. Foster feel better. It was raining lightly that day, and the road was a little slippery, so there was an accident.”
Said his subordinates, and took Ben Schaffer out.
“That section of the winding mountain road is a bit steep, but it’s no problem for an experienced driver to drive. Brother Kyrie goes up the mountain to listen to scriptures every half a month, and has never had a problem.”
Ben Schaffer heard a burst of pain in his heart: “Has his body been found?”
“Not yet. You can see why after seeing that mountain. “
His subordinates drove Ben Schaffer to the place of the accident.
The railing next to the winding mountain road was knocked off, and standing on the side, you can see obvious traces of the car rushing down.
At the bottom of the mountain, there were endless rocks and abyss.
This mountain was relatively high. Falling from here, there will be absolutely no possibility of surviving.
And because of the special geographical location, it was difficult to carry out search and rescue work.
“Brother Kyrie asked several groups of rescuers to search and rescue. The person in charge of the search and rescue work said that there are too many dead corners below. If you unfortunately fall into a dead corner, there is no way to find the body. Unless the entire mountain is razed to the ground. But This is unrealistic. The temple on this mountain is one of the oldest temples in Yonroeville, and it can’t be moved at all.”
Today’s weather in Yonroeville is very gloomy, and there is a dull feeling that the mountains and the rain are about to come and the building is full of wind.
Ben Schaffer loosened his neckline, but still felt that he could not breathe.
“Mr. Schaffer, let’s go back first. It’s going to rain heavily.” The subordinate reminded, “The weather is too bad, it will be very inconvenient to drive. There was only a car accident here, let’s be careful.”
After the two came down from the mountain, as expected, it rained heavily.
It’s getting dark.
It’s only three o’clock in the afternoon, and the sky is dark, as if the end of the world.
Ben Schaffer looked at the rain that was constantly beating on the car window, and his eyes were wet.
It’s summer, and the body was exposed to the wild, and within a week, it’s completely decomposed. There was such a strong rainstorm now… let alone a week, after today, the remains would definitely be completely destroyed.
When the phone rang, his emotions pulled away from his grief. He took out his phone and reached out to wipe the tears from his eyes.
He answered the phone, and Averie’s voice came from the other side: “Ben Schaffer, where are you? Have you found the news about Elyette? I just got off the plane, and I’m going to find you now.”
“You’re staying at the airport. Don’t move, I’ll pick you up.” Ben Schaffer quickly adjusted his mood and began to think about how to settle her.
If Averie was told of Elyette’s car accident on the mountain and her body could not be found, she would definitely collapse.
……
Averie stood at the gate of the airport, looking at the pouring rain in front of her, feeling restless in her heart. She never dared to think about what would happen if Elyette really died.
But now, looking at the sky that seemed to be falling down, she couldn’t restrain her pessimism and frustration.
If Elyette is really dead…what should she do…
In her heart, there was no answer.
The strength in the body seems to be drained, and the body seems to fall down at any time.
She was now hanging on with one breath, she was still alive in gambling Elyette.
About half an hour later, Ben Schaffer appeared in front of her with a black umbrella.
“Why hold a black umbrella?” Averie is now sensitive and vulnerable. Seeing something black was like seeing Elyette’s body.
