"Mmm..." At the moment her mouth was covered, Avery's heart skipped a beat, and she was so scared that her courage was about to break.
The person dragged her away from the top floor and forcefully pulled her into the elevator before letting go.
"Miss Wells, I apologize for the rudeness." Chad's voice came from behind.
"Chad? Why is it you?"
Avery took a deep breath and turned around. This time, she not only saw Chad respectfully standing behind her, but also Ethan's icy face.
Although she was not brave, she was not stupid either. In an instant, she associated the incident of Sandra being locked on the top floor with the man in front of her.
"Mr. Blackwood, did you lock up my friend?"
Mr. Blackwood?
Hearing this title, the man raised his eyebrows unhappily.
Ethan stood tall with a calm face, emitting a chilling aura all over his body. He was like a huge ice sculpture standing there.
"That woman has a twisted mind. In the future, it's best if you don't have any contact with her."
So it was really him who did it.
Perhaps it was because of the incident at the birthday banquet where he was drugged, this ice-cold man knew that it was Sandra who did it.
Thinking of how Ethan was known as the god of death, how could he tolerate being drugged?
Avery knew that Sandra deserved punishment, but she couldn't help but worry about her good friend who was drugged and locked up in a dark room as a girl...
She was very worried and hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "How is she doing now? When she called me, her condition was very bad. Is she in danger?"
Chad, who was standing aside, spoke up: "Miss Wells, our third young master just returned what Sandra did to her. Right now, she's just locked up in a room and will be released once the effects of the drug wear off. There won't be any danger."
"But the drug this time is stronger than the one she gave to our third young master last time. The process will be difficult to endure."
"Are you sure there won't be any danger?"
Upon hearing this, Avery was still worried.
"What if someone takes advantage of the situation and harms her? She still has to get married in the future..."
"You can rest assured. It took our third young master half a month to find Sandra .He did it just to save face for you. No one outside knows about this, and our third young master has no other intentions except to make her suffer a bit." Chad said, "As long as it doesn't pose a physical threat to her, it's fine. That girl has been looking for a rich man since she started working."
Avery finally felt relieved after hearing this.
As long as it doesn't pose a physical threat to her, it's fine. That girl has been looking for a rich man since she started working.
She didn't know if Sandra had used this method on others before. This time, she ran into Ethan Blackwood a tough nail. It's time for her to learn a lesson.
Seeing Avery calm down and standing obediently in front of him with her head down, not pleading for the woman upstairs who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, a satisfied curve appeared on the man's cold face and his delicate lips slightly curved.
...
Ethan handled the matter very discreetly.
Before going to the coffee shop, someone had arranged everything in advance, going up from the back door and coming down from the back door again.
No one knew that the prestigious third young master of the capital had been here today, let alone Sandra, who was locked up on the top floor.
She was in the dark room and didn't hear the man's terrifying voice from hell again. She didn't even wait for Avery to arrive.
As the medicine took effect, her body grew hotter and hotter. With the increasing heat she felt like she was in a sea of fire.
The strong medicine and the high temperature in the room consumed her. At first, she still had the consciousness to curse and call out Avery's name. But eventually, she couldn't resist the scorching heat and fell into a painful coma.
The soundproofing in the room was good, and the top floor had been prepared in advance. No one came up, and no one knew that she was up there.
Sandra was unconscious for less than half an hour before someone came to take her out and secretly sent her to the hospital to clean out the remaining drugs in her body.
This was also arranged by Ethan beforehand.
Sandra's had drugged him, and even if she was Avery's friend, he couldn't tolerate it.
But it was also because she was Avery's friend that he arranged for her to go to the hospital afterwards.
When Sandra came out of the hospital, it was already dark outside.
"Avery ,you hypocritical woman, you're no longer my friend!" Outside the hospital, she looked at the passing cars on the road, her eyes full of hatred. Why, why could Avery marry Mr. Blackwood and become his woman?
Shouldn't good friends share good fortune together? Mr. Blackwood was the kind of person who definitely didn't lack women around him, yet Avery would rather let other women be with him than share the good fortune with her good friend!
What kind of friend was this?
She didn't want this kind of fake friend.
After coming out, Avery followed Ethan to a restaurant for lunch. Like the past half month of dining at home, the two of them barely spoke at the table. Ethan occasionally picked up food for her, and she would eat whatever he picked up, even if it was something she didn't like. She obediently finished everything without complaint. The two of them finished their lunch quietly without saying a word.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, they left the restaurant. "There are still some things to deal with at the company. Will you go back by yourself or do you want me to send you back?" Ethan glanced at his watch, his voice cold.
Of course, she would go back by herself. Avery silently accepted his words and looked up at the man's cold blue mask.
"I'll go back by myself, Mr. Blackwood. You can go ahead. Don't worry about me. I'll just take a taxi later."
"Mr. Blackwood?" Ethan had heard this address countless times and showed obvious displeasure on his handsome face. "Avery, if I remember correctly, we got married half a month ago."
Avery suddenly felt uneasy in her heart. "If not Mr. Blackwood, then what should I call you?" Although they were already married, it was only in name. Calling him "husband" didn't seem appropriate, and it felt awkward.
Ethan suddenly remembered that he had torn up the marriage certificate a long time ago and furrowed his brows. "Never mind. Call me whatever you want. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, Mr. Blackwood. See you tonight," Avery said with a sweet smile, as if she was bidding farewell to her husband.
"See you tonight." Seeing her eager to leave, Ethan frowned. After getting into the car and driving for a while, he looked through the rearview mirror and found that Avery's figure was no longer there.
"Third Master, are you worried that Miss Wells will go back to that coffee shop?" Chad asked while driving.
"In fact, you don't have to worry. Miss Wells knows her limits. If she wanted to go, she would have begged you to release her friend," Chas continued.
"It's not that," Ethan slowly rolled down the car window and glanced at the rearview mirror.
"We are being followed."
In the mirror, a mysterious license plate appeared in their sight.
