Chapter 2253
When His Eyes Opened
Avery couldnât help thinking of Emilio.
Travis said that he had the clues of Haze, so Emilio must also know.
Two days ago, Emilio called her to ask her for dinner, but she refused.
At that time, Emilioâs reaction was very unhappy.
Avery knew Emilio was unhappy, but she didnât want to say anything to explain her attitude.
But now, she wanted to contact him again.
She didnât know if Emilio would care about her.
She really wanted to know Hazeâs whereabouts.
Travis would never tell her, and now she has to see if she can ask anything from Emilio. Thinking of
this, she sent a message to Emilio: [Next time you come to Aryadelle, I will invite you to dinner.]
It was daytime in Bridgedale. After Emilio received her message, she immediately replied: [When you
called my dad, I was by his side.]
Emilioâs meaning was self-evident. He knew what Avey wanted to say, and he was dismissive of it.
Sure enough, Emilioâs message came again soon: [Avery, you are too realistic. When I have use value,
you can take care of me. I kicked it out of nowhere as if we never knew each other. Your face is really
ugly.]
Avery looked at the message he sent, her cheeks burning.
Emilio seemed to be right, but not right. From his standpoint alone, he is indeed what he said.
After Avery thought briefly, she replied rationally: [I am very grateful for your help in the past, and I am
willing to help you when you are in trouble in the future. The reason why I donât want to get too close to
you has nothing to do with you, but because of your dad. You clearly know the reason, why pretend not
to know? Your father wants to use false technology to make money against his conscience. Instead of
stopping it, you are waiting to enjoy it. I am ashamed.]
Emilio: [Since you are ashamed, why did you send me a message?]
Avery: [Your dad said he knew about Hazeâs whereabouts. Is that true? I feel like your dad might be
lying to me.]
Emilio: [If you send me a message just to make sure itâs true or not, then Iâll tell you that what my dad
said is true. He doesnât need to lie to you about something so important.]
Avery took a deep breath and immediately asked: [How did you find Hazeâs whereabouts? Haze is now
in Bridgedale?]
Emilio: [I have nothing to comment on. After all, I have to wait for my dad to succeed and enjoy it. If I
told you now, wouldnât it ruin my dadâs plan?]
Avery: [Emilio, Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to mock you.]
Emilio: [Why do you have to apologize to me? I was what you thought, if it wasnât for my dadâs property,
why would I be scolded by him every day with my tail between my legs?]
Avery looked at his message and didnât know how to reply.
Emilio has made it very clear that he is waiting to inherit the Jones familyâs property.
The more Travis earns, the more he will get.
How could Emilio tell Avery about Hazeâs whereabouts?
She put the phone on the pillow, intending to sleep.
She closed her eyes, and after about two minutes, the phone screen lights up.
She wasnât asleep, so after the light came on, she opened her eyes and picked up the phone.
It was a message from Emilio: [We found Sasha Johnstone. You shouldnât have forgotten her, right?
She was the one who personally sent you and Elliot to the basement in the suburbs of Yonroeville.]
Avery clenched her fingers tightly holding the phone.
Emilio continued to send messages: [Sasha Johnstone knew where Haze was. It doesnât matter if I tell
you this, after all, my dad is going to meet Sasha Johnstone tomorrow.]
