Chapter 816 - 816: I Want You To Be Happy

The casing of the cell phone was damaged.

Tinder added, "I've got it fixed. It can be opened now."

Evan took it over and got the phone out from the bag. It was a black phone and got white in the explosion. The screen was changed and remained intact.

Evan opened the phone and clicked right to lock it. Tinder removed the password, and it could be open.

Evan opened the FB, and there was nothing. When he clicked texts, there was one unsent one.

"Avery, I delete and change the text numerous times. I don't know if I have the courage to send it to you. I want to tell you I don't regret anything I do. Your beauty is what I pursue in my life. I want to have it and fight for it. I know what I do makes you feel terrible. But as far as I'm concerned, that's how I try the most to get you. I want you to know you deserve the best in life. I also have regrets. I regret not trying hard enough to let Evan have you. So I prepare the anti-allergy drugs myself, so it combines with the drugs inside you. If Evan has s.e.x with you, the poison would be transferred to his body as I told you... Unfortunately, I'm not cruel enough. I have wondered if I'm too selfish, seeing how Evan never lets you go. Forget it. I have the maids put the anecdote drug in your room. It would remove the poison."

It read at last, "I want you to be happy."

The date of the text was saved on the day Charles died. He probably didn't see that coming himself.

Tinder looked at Avery and said, "Sir, the phone..."

Before he said more, Evan cut him off.

Tinder immediately shut up. This matter has come to an end. Evan probably didn't want to mention Charles in front of Avery in case she felt bad.

Gabrielle put her head on Avery's shoulder, saying, "Avery, I don't want to come with you."

Avery looked up from the pictures of her daughter with amazement, "Why?"

Gabrielle said, "I have things to do in the Ancient Country."

Avery stared at her for a moment. She shook her head with disbelief, "I can't leave you alone. This is dangerous. The land is full of mysterious tricks, and you might get hurt. Good Gabrielle, come back to C Country with me. After our business is dealt with, I'll make arrangements if you want to finish shooting films in A Country."

Gabrielle insisted, "Avery, what if I must stay?" She put her chin on Avery's shoulder. Although her tone was gentle, it was also firm.

Avery asked, "Why?"

Gabrielle said, "Can I not say?"

Avery said, "No!" If Gabrielle didn't have a special reason, Avery couldn't leave her alone here.

Gabrielle pouted and sat straight, saying, "Have you heard of mysterious tricks to control wolf?"

"Mysterious tricks to control the wolf?" Avery frowned. It was impossible not to know it was spending such a long time in the Ancient Country. She nodded, saying, "I've heard of it."

Gabrielle said, "Before I fell from the cliff, I used it to train wolves. I found they responded well. I've thought about whether I am a werewolf or something."She smiled with a delicate face.

How wild would that be if it were true?

Gabrielle wondered if she could jump among the trees wearing a leopard bikini as she saw in the movie.

That seemed to be Tarzan.

Gabrielle got rid of the images in her mind. She kept going, "I heard there's a girl named Tina that looked a lot like me. Do you remember the look on Mr. Black's face when he saw me? Perhaps this is real."

Avery had no idea Gabrielle went through so much in such a short period of time. Hearing how Gabrielle mentioned it like it was no big deal, Avery felt it was in another life. Gabrielle was no longer the same girl who was timid and trying to please people all the time. On the contrary, she knew better than anybody what she wanted.

"Are you sure?" Avery asked again, "If you want to stay here, I'll ask some of my men to protect you."

Gabrielle said, "No, Avery. They're not as good as the wolves."She could train them to listen to her. Could someone beat that?

Gabrielle never knew how impressive the wolves were. Thinking back what happened that night, Gabrielle still thought it was amazing.

Avery never saw Gabrielle getting so insistent on anything. She hesitated for a second and agreed. Then she told her some things she needed to look out for.

But Avery secretly thought about sending a bodyguard or two to tag her along. Or she wouldn't feel assured.

If Avery decided to stay in the Ancient Country, she and Evan would stick to the plan to head back to B Country by plane.

Avery's look landed on Evan. It was not on purpose. But what she promised him could become a reality soon.

Not only that, but Avery could also help Jessica there.

***

Jessica rolled over on the bed and suddenly sat up. She found herself covered in sweat. She had a nightmare where her grandpa struggled in the sea, but no one helped him.

Jessica called out as hard as she could. She screamed grandpa, grandpa. But her throat was choked, and she couldn't make a sound.

Jessica suddenly woke up and looked around, realizing it was nothing but a dream. She was relieved. Then there was the sound of cracking, and it got louder.

What happened?

Jessica hurried to get downstairs and came to wherever the sound came from. The odd thing was she didn't see any maid along the way until she came down.

The maid said, "Miss Jessica, you're awake?" For some reason, the maids gathered downstairs. One shouted out, "Miss Jessica, why don't you wear your shoes?"

Jessica paused and looked down. She realized she came down in such a hurry that she forgot to wear shoes.

"Silly girl, forget to wear your shoes? Hum?"James came over with an apron. There was white flour on the apron, his arms, and face.

"Sir, I'll go and get Miss Clifford her shoes..." A maid volunteered, and James glared at her. So she stopped moving.

Jessica's fair and crystal feet were on the dark wool carpet. She curled up her toes with embarrassment.

"I..." Jessica stepped back to go back upstairs, but James grabbed her arm. He seemed to have flour in his hands, and so was her arms.

"Miss Jessica?" James suddenly called.

"Hum?"

James said, "Step on the back of my feet." His tone was coaxing. James stood in front of Jessica and looked down at his feet. He thought he made himself clear.

Jessica said, "What?' Her eyes were wide open. She seemed to have trouble processing the message. Wouldn't his feet hurt if she stepped on it?

The young maids looked at Jessica with jealousy. If such a handsome and rich guy asked them to step on his feet, they would die for him right away.
