“I asked the lawyer to draw up a document. After you sign the document first, I’ll consider whether I should give you a way out.” Elyette sat in the boss chair and looked at her lazily.
“What document?” Norah asked nervously.
Elyette picked up the phone, checked the time, but didn’t reply to her.
Chad was very curious, so he leaned into Elyette’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Boss, are you planning to abolish the gambling agreement?”
“Yes.” Elyette replied softly.
Their voices were not too loud, but just enough for Norah to hear.
Norah was now like fish on the anvil, even if she was told, it didn’t matter.
She would know when the lawyer brings the papers in later.
“I can sign an agreement to abolish the previous gambling agreement. Without Travis’s help, I would not have been able to accomplish the goal you set.” Norah knew that she had no other choice.
Even if she didn’t want to, Elyette would force her to sign the agreement.
Elyette doesn’t want to have any connection with Norah now, nor does he want to see Norah have any connection with the Tate Industries anymore.
…
The villa that Mike bought for the five experts was about half an hour’s drive away from where Averie lived.
The location of the villa was a little remote. The advantage was that the single-family villa had a relatively large area, which was especially suitable for doing research for them.
After Averie arrived, she found that there was no one on the first floor, but when ahe got to the second floor, ahe could hear their discussion.
The content revolves around the working principle of the device in Elyette’s head.
“You’re talking too much. If it is controlled by people, Margaret died yesterday, but isn’t Elyette still alive and well?”
“Margaret is dead, but there are other people in her team. There must be other people who also have this technology. If it is not controlled by humans, how do you explain the theory through which this device works?”
“The brain is not the same as the heart!”
“I didn’t say the brain is the same as the heart, Didn’t Averie find Margaret’s research materials? I stayed up late to read these materials, this special device made by Margaret is equivalent to remodeling a ‘neuron’…”
“I have also seen Those materials are gone! This neuron made by Margaret is an ice-cold machine! That’s why I propose that this device is controlled by humans!”
Their arguments were in full swing, and Averie stood outside the door and listened for a while. Then, a knock on the door interrupted their quarrel.
“Averie, you came just in time! How is Elyette today?” Ivory pulled her to sit beside him, “Fatty said Elyette is now a living robot under human control. His words and deeds…”
“Hey! Who are you calling fat!” The expert who was called fat was a little angry.
“You are the fat man! Among the five of us, you are the fattest. Your real name is so long, who can remember it! Just call you fat!” Ivory said with conviction.
“Okay, a fat man is a fat man. It’s really hard to remember my name.” The fat man said angrily.
“Averie, you live with Elyette every day. You know best whether Elyette is a robot or not.” Ivory pulled back to the topic, “Is there anything unusual about his speaking habits and behavior?”
Averie said without hesitation, “I can tell you with certainty that Elyette is no different from before. He has his own independent thinking mode, including his conditioned reflex behavior, which is the same as before. He was not manipulated by humans. So this assumption can be crossed out.”
The three senior of them at the head showed regretful expressions one after another.
“Ivory, have you read Margaret’s research materials? What do you think?” Averie asked.
“If it is the special device that keeps Elyette alive now, and Elyette’s entire thinking pattern is the same as before, don’t you think it’s very contradictory? Didn’t you say Margaret could control him? What did Margaret use to control him? A computer or a special remote control device?” Ivory put forward his own idea, “Now that Margaret is dead, you should find the thing that can control Elyette.”
“Yes! I have the same idea as Ivory. As long as there is a controller, we can push it backwards and make the device in Elyette’s head!” Someone echoed.
Averie also wanted to find the controller. The problem is that even no one knows where Emmy is now. How to find the controller?
“Averie, let’s talk alone.” Ivory pulled Averie out of the room.
“Is there anything you can’t talk about in the conference room?” Averie asked.
“Because I can’t use them.” Ivory pulled Averie downstairs, “I want to see the device in Elyette’s brain, please let me see it!”
“I had sent over the CT of his brain. Didn’t you see it?” Averie wondered, “I remember it clearly, I put it in a cardboard box.”
“No. I’m not looking at that CT film.” Ivory leaned into her ear, whispered, “Let’s open his head and take a look at the device! Use a high-definition camera to record its appearance, so that we can do research? What Margaret used remote control, it doesn’t matter! The most important thing is The breakthrough is actually in Elyette!”
It’s said that, Ivory’s mind was very flexible.
This was a method Averie never thought of.
The reason why she didn’t think about it was because Elyette was only operated on by Margaret. Now that he still has a wound on his head, his brain can’t bear to open it again.
“Not now.” Averie refused. “His brain can’t handle it. I can’t let him take risks beyond my ability.”
Ivory: “Okay! I know it’s not the time yet. By then, we haven’t made a breakthrough yet, so just follow the method I said just now! I think he should agree, after all, we did this to save him.”
Averie: “We’ll talk about this later, but now we’ll think of other ways.”
At 5:00 p.m., Averie left from the secret research base of six of them and went to the city to buy chestnuts.
On the way, she messaged Elyette and asked him what he was doing.
Elyette quickly replied to her message: [At home.]
Averie looked at the message he sent and was stunned for a moment: [Where’s Hayden?]
He replied again in seconds: [Also at home.]
Averie felt a little suffocated.
Father and son were alone at home, would they quarrel again?
“Ali, go home first.” Averie said to Ali.
“Didn’t you buy chestnuts?” Ali wondered, “Is something wrong at home?”
“Elyette and Hayden are at home, I’m afraid they will quarrel again.” Averie said worriedly, “Hayden still so angry to me. He must also be angry with Elyette.”
Ali comforted her: “When you didn’t come out of the room last night, they didn’t quarrel. Hayden only had an attack when he saw you come out.”
Averie’s temple hurt a bit: “I’m still worried.”
Ali: “Then let’s go back now.”
The villa.
The nanny gave Elyette a bowl of chicken soup, and then brought another bowl of chicken soup to Hayden’s room.
When the nanny brought soup to Hayden, she told Hayden that Elyette was back.
So Hayden came out of the room with the chicken soup.
This was his mother’s home, which was equivalent to his home. As Averie’s legal ex-husband, Elyette was an outsider in the family, so he won’t hide in the room and let Elyette saw jokes.
The nanny did not expect Hayden to come out. But seeing Hayden finally willing to come out, she was relieved. But when Hayden walked to the living room and saw Elyette, he gasped again.
Father and son meet each other, shouldn’t it be like last night…
“Hayden, why don’t I go out for a walk with you? You haven’t gone out all day today…” The nanny wanted to take Hayden Get out and avoid.
Hayden’s eyes were fixed on Elyette’s face.
Elyette’s heart beat faster when his son watched.
Elyette said to the nanny: “Go and get busy! I’ll chat with Hayden.”
“Oh oh… OK!” The nanny quickly walked towards the kitchen.
In the living room, only the father and son were left.
Elyette sat down on the sofa, picked up the soup bowl, and took a sip of soup.
Hayden also walked to the sofa and sat down. Not to be outdone, he picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of soup.
“Hayden, you can be mad at me, but don’t be mad at your mother. She blamed herself last night, tossing and turning all night and couldn’t sleep.” Elyette broke the silence, “No matter how much you blame me or hate me, It’s okay. It’s okay if you scold me. But don’t hate your mother for that.”
Hayden: “Don’t try to sow discord there. You can’t sow my relationship with my mom!”
