Ethan's cold and icy gaze made Gray's spine shiver.
However, since he dared to come back, he was not afraid of being questioned.
"To the hospital," Gray calmly looked at Ethan and said without changing his expression, "I did indeed drive Madam out in the morning and took her to the hospital. I saw her get out of the car at the entrance, and then I drove back."
Pretending to be unaware of Avery's disappearance, he asked with a worried expression, "What's wrong, Third Master? Has Madam disappeared?"
"I didn't say anything, how do you know she's disappeared?" Ethan didn't suspect this young man in front of him at first, but when he heard the last sentence, his narrow phoenix eyes dangerously narrowed.
"I've checked the hospital's surveillance footage, and she didn't appear at the hospital entrance. You tell me honestly, where did you take her? If you tell me the truth now, I won't hold you responsible. But if I find out you're lying, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be!"
In fact, Ethan hadn't had a chance to check the surveillance footage yet.
The reason why he said this now was to get some information out of this " Ryan Flynn".Most people wouldn't dare to lie in front of him.
If this person knew what was good for him, he should honestly tell him where Avery was.
But Gray's mental resilience was unusually strong. Faced with Ethan's questioning, he immediately showed an innocent expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, Third Master. The hospital didn't have surveillance footage because I only stopped a hundred meters away from the hospital to drop off Madam."
In order to avoid being exposed, he continued to pretend.
"I don't want to lie to you, Third Master. It was Madam who asked me to say that. She said the hospital had a strong smell and she didn't want to go there, especially with that child who couldn't speak. Madam said it was boring to be with a mute every time, so she asked me to drop her off about a hundred meters away from the hospital."
"What did you say? A mute?"
Ethan frowned, and a blazing fire burned deep in his deep eyes.
"Did she really say that?"
How could he believe that his wife, whom he had decided to treat well, would say such things to an outsider about Julian who had autism!
If it was really like this, then all the good things that she did for Julian were just for him to see?
No, he didn't believe it. She looked exactly like that person, and her heart couldn't br different...
The more Ethan thought about it, the more uncertain he became.
Gray apparently noticed that Ethan was on the verge of anger, but still lied fearlessly, "Third Master, I'm telling the truth. Madam did tell me that."
He continued, "Madam asked me to drop her off nearby, saying she was going to school. I don't know if she went or not."
"Alright, you may leave." Ethan's face was terrifyingly dark.
According to Gray's words, it meant that Avery had run away by herself.
But if she didn't go to school, didn't go to the hospital, and didn't go home, where could she have gone?
At this moment, Ethan had a faint answer in his heart.
Other than this home, Avery had nowhere else to go. The only place she could go was the Wells family's old mansion, where her grandparents who loved her were.
Although her parents didn't like her, she had not gone to the hospital. Since she didn't go to the hospital, she must have gone to the family's old mansion. Right, she was still in the family's old mansion. Thinking about it, Ethan immediately turned on his phone screen and planned to call her before going to catch her. It would be best if she could come back on her own and admit her mistake.
He no longer wanted a wife like her who was so contemptuous. Even if her scent was so tempting last night, making him reluctant to leave.
Ethan quickly found her phone number and dialed it.
The first time, it rang for a while on the other end, but no one answered and the call was hung up directly.
He called again, but the other end had already turned off the phone.
"Damn it..." That woman dared to hang up and even turn off her phone!
Ethan frowned and looked at Qin with sharp eyes. "Qin, prepare the car and go to the Wells family mansion immediately!"
He must catch her and let her know what the consequences would be if she dared to cross his bottom line!
"Yes, sir." Qin left the living room and went to the underground garage to get the car.
In the living room, Ethan picked up his suit jacket and was about to go out.
At this moment, Alexis, who had been staying in the guest room upstairs, happened to come down . Upon seeing Ethan, her beautiful face immediately showed a worried expression. "Mr. Blackwood, are you going to find Avery? I think... you might not be able to find her."
"What did you say?" Ethan had originally planned to go to the old mansion of the Wells family, but upon hearing Alexis' voice, he immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and stared at her with sharp eyes.
His delicate lips were tightly pressed together, almost gritting his teeth, as he spoke each word with force, "So you know something about my wife's disappearance?"
"I know a little bit," Alexis faced his cold expression and dared to speak up, "I just received a call from Parker Styles. He said that he took Avery with him when he went back to his hometown this morning."
"So, you're saying that my wife, has eloped with someone? "Ethan's face turned cold and dark, and at this point, he had already clenched his fists. " Alexis, Miss Wells, you have been talking nonsense in front of me more than once. Do you think I would believe your lies?"
Being looked at by Ethan like this, Alexis couldn't help but feel guilty, but she knew that what was done was done, and there was no turning back.
"Mr. Blackwood, you must believe me this time. Avery has always been very clear about her position, not to mention that she gave herself to you last night. Parker just said that it's a clean break..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ethan slammed the table and shouted, "Pack your things and get out of here right now!"
"Mr. Blackwood..."
Ethan had no patience to listen to what she had to say anymore. He gave her a fierce look and hastily left the house.
Qin, who was in the driver's seat, saw that Ethan's face was extremely unpleasant and asked cautiously, "Sir, are we going to the old mansion of the Wells family now?"
"Yes! Let's go to there immediately! I want to see that woman right away!" Ethan didn't believe Alexis' words.
"Okay, sir." Qin immediately started the car and was about to leave.
At this moment, Ethan said, "Wait!"
"Sir, do you have any other orders?"
"Immediately contact Chad and ask him to notify the police in Parker's hometown and retrieve all the surveillance footage of the areas where Avery might appear!"
In the end, Ethan didn't not believe Alexis, he just didn't want to accept the fact that Avery had eloped with another man.
To be precise, he was afraid that the same thing would happen to him for the second time.
