“Hey, who are you going to see?” Mike asked.
“This is Bridgedale. Are you familiar with the place?”
“Even the Devil would do anything for money. Everyone knows that. As long as I’m willing to cough up
the money, plenty of people would be lining up to risk their lives for me!” Elliot responded.
Mike watched as Elliot bragged, but he ended up being frightened by his spirit and obediently got out of
the driver’s seat.
However, Mike did not forget to take a jab at Elliot.
“Did you cry when Avery ignored you at the airport that day? I bet you did. I should’ve recorded the
whole thing…”
“F*ck off!” Elliot fired a glare at him, then slammed the car doore8 shut.
At the White Mansion, Avery got out of bed and received Wesley’s medical report.
With all of his injuries, his report came up to several pages.
Avery looked through it for a while before she was done.
“He’s not dead, Miss Tate. He’ll be fine after some rest,” said the woman who was responsible for
monitoring Avery.
It was true that Wesley’s life was no longer in danger, but he was crippled now.
Many of his injuries were irreversible.
His severed finger would never be able to be reattached.
His vision would also be affected.
Many of his wounds would also leave behind hideous scars.
Avery wanted to cry, but she was out of tears.
“Miss Tate, I suggest you get rid of that bitter and hateful expression. Men don’t like that. If you want to
keep a foothold here, then you need to get on Mr. Grimes’s good side.”
Avery felt like she just heard some kind of joke.
“A foothold? Who said I wanted to stay here?” She shot to her feet in anger and snapped,” Take me to
him!”
She wanted to see exactly what kind of illness the person David wanted her to save was suffering from
If she could save them, then she would do it quickly and leave this hellish place!
The woman smiled, then led the way.
The mansion was built like a maze. After turning a few corners, Avery was beginning to feel dizzy.
“We’re here.” The woman stood in front of a door, then said, “Mr. Grimes is inside.”
Avery entered the golden-themed room that was decorated lavishly.
“How did you sleep last night, Miss Tate?” David walked up to her with a smile as he looked her up and
down as if he was inspecting a product.
“Who do you need me to treat? Take me to the patient!” Avery glared at him with cold eyes, then said,
“Let’s make things clear first. If I cure their illness, then you have to immediately let me go!”
“Of course,” David responded gleefully. “If you can cure her, not only will I let you go, I’ll also pay you
handsomely!”
Then, he took Avery to see the patient.
The two of them walked up to a room. David opened the door, and a wave of cold air seeped out of the
room.
Avery felt that something was off!
When she finally saw the so-called patient, she let out a shrill cry of terror!
In the middle of the spacious room was an ice casket with a beautiful woman laying inside of it.
However, the woman… Was dead!
