Natalie’s assistant immediately said, "Miss Jennings, what do you mean?"
"She previously eavesdropped on my call. She was clearly standing outside my room door eavesdropping, yet she said that she had overheard that conversation."
After that incident, Natalie purposely played music on her phone in her room. She could not hear the music when she walked into the hall. Only by standing outside her room door, she could hear a little.
"Maybe, she's just a curious young girl!" Her assistant said, "She is your cousin, not Avery's. I believe that she is on your side."
"You're right. Although I'm uncomfortable with her pretending to be ignorant, she has
a sweet mouth." Natalie thought that she was overthinking things. "I wasn't close to her, but she and Avery aren't close at all."
"No matter what, you two are relatives.
Both your parents were close to each other!"
"Hmm."
"Miss Jennings, could she have eavesdropped on something important?" Natalie’s assistant asked.
Natalie sobered up a little. She said lazily," It's nothing important. I only care about my privacy."
"Then it's fine."
"Yes." Natalie hung up and walked over to her room.
There was no news from Elliot for such a long time. He was most likely dead.
Although Avery was not dead, she was
probably much more miserable alive than dead.
At that thought, Natalie smiled smugly.
Previously, when she returned from Ylore, Chad had said that he would send someone to check the private flights stopping in Ylore during the past few days.
Chad sent her a table of all the flights. Not only had he found the fight number,
Avery went through the table. One of the aircrafts belonged to someone in Bridgedale. That aircraft had stopped in Bridgedale for a few days when Avery and Elliot had been trapped in the cellar.
The private aircraft belonged to the boss of a pharmaceutical group in Bridgedale.
Avery furrowed her brows.
The pharmaceutical group was famous in Bridgedale. Avery had heard of them before. She knew people who were connected to the company.
She sat on her sofa and thought for a while. She slowly remembered that when she had been doing her master’s, all of her classmates called a certain classmate 'Sir' because his father was the boss of the pharmaceutical group.
However, Avery no longer remembered what he looked like or what his name was. She did not even have his contact information.
