Chapter 415
Avery couldn't make up his mind. He could only turn to the doctor and ask for his opinion.
"Well, if their relationship is particularly good, it's better for her not to stay here, because it will affect his condition. After all, Kendall is the key to the matter. It's not a good thing if someone else is involved." The doctor explained coolly.
Braden nodded as he listened. "I understand. Then I'll bring Anne home first. Shall we come over tomorrow morning?"
"Right." The doctor's tone was serious. "This is no small matter. If he suddenly enters this state while driving, there's a high chance that he'll have an accident."
Everyone's expressions became more serious.
After Braden left, the others waited for Rick to fall asleep before leaving.
Charlotte and Shane sat in the back seat, while Cole sat in the driver's seat and drove the car. The moonlight outside the window was very strong, and the bright light fell directly on the car.
Charlotte usually spoke very little with Shane. In any case, she was not in the mood to talk about the company's affairs, so both of them were
silent.
Charlotte kept looking out of the window. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She took it out and glanced at it. It was a message from Riley. In addition to some information, there were also very clear pictures and videos. She just glanced at it for a moment and turned the phone off. Her heart beat faster and faster. She was afraid that Shane would notice.
After a while, she took out her phone again and transferred all the information to her inbox to store it.
She didn't know why Riley had sent her the information although they hadn't reached an agreement yet. However, since he had sent her the information, she had to give them the money.
After she returned home, Charlotte asked for Riley's account and immediately sent 100,000 dollars to him.
Actually, she was the kind of person who would pay even more than this. However, because Riley had been rude to her before, she didn't want to say too much to him and didn't want to give him more money.
As for the information...
A glint flashed in Charlotte's eyes. She would ask Avery about it another day.
If Avery could confirm the veracity of the information, and if Shane had asked Avery to cover it up, she would really be disappointed in Shane.
She didn't understand why he had to hide it from her.
In Avery's villa.
Kendall sat on the swing in the garden and looked at the moon.
Rick was already asleep, but she didn't feel sleepy. She didn't know why, but she didn't want to be close to him now. When her enthusiasm subsided for him for so many months, she felt that it was not necessary for her to like him.
When she thought about it, Kendall laughed and shook her head.
It was impossible for her not to like Rick.
Right at that moment.
Her phone rang.
"Hello?" She came back to her senses and picked it up.
"It's me."
A low and deep voice came from the other end.
"You are... Zayden?" Kendall almost forgot who the man was.
"Yes," Zayden replied. He flipped through the report in his hand and said with a chuckle. "Have you been living with Rick recently?"
"I..."
"Don't lie to me. Since I didn't betray Rick, it's impossible for me to betray you. Many people have been looking into you. The highest price for information about you is more than four million dollars, did you know that?" Zayden's voice was very low and cold, but his tone was very soft. There was a sense of extreme contrast.
Kendall was taken aback. "What did you say?" she asked in disbelief.
Zayden lowered his voice and said, "I say, a lot of people are looking for you, and they've offered a high price. Do you know about this?"
"I, I don't know."
"I thought so. Rick must be protecting you very well."
Kendall suddenly thought of the state that Rick was in. Her heart pounded. She immediately braced herself and asked, "Zayden, can you explain it to me clearly? Why are they investigating our whereabouts?" "Have you eaten?" Zayden asked.
"But now I... just forget it. Can we meet now?"
Rick was asleep and didn't need her, but if she could meet Zayden now, it would be fine.
Zayden glanced at his watch and his smile widened. "Of course, it's not a problem. But Kendall, won't your Rick be angry at you having dinner with another man in the middle of the night?"
Why would he?" Kendall mumbled. "Besides, whatever I do doesn't matter to him. It used to be like this and will be like this in the future, unless he likes me."
"He likes you."
"Come on, I would rather believe that you like me."
"Well, I really like you, Kendall." Zayden got up and switched the hand holding the phone. "In fact, Kendall, I should admit that I have been paying attention to you from the beginning because of your value. After all, even if the Stevens Family is gone, the shares you have are enough for us to split the Stevens family's assets."
Kendall was speechless as she clutched her phone. "And here I thought that you were really worried about whether I was hungry or not."
"It's probably this stupidity that makes me like you very much, Kendal." Zayden laughed. "Have you ever thought that Rick is not suitable for you at all? He has a lot of responsibilities. People like him, who have many problems to consider every day, may not be able to give you all his love."
"We're not going to talk about this."
"Okay, I'll pick you up now. Give me an address, somewhere far away from where you live."
"It doesn't matter. If you want to come, then come. In any case, I've been talking to you for so long that you should be able to track me by now." Kendall hung up the phone directly.
Zayden looked at the address he tracked on the computer screen, and his thin lips curved slightly. He held his forehead helplessly and turned to look at the remaining lights in the dark city.
They said that she was a little fool, but in fact, she was very smart.
That was right.
If she was not smart, how could she stay with Rick for so long? Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Zayden's car was parked in front of Rick's villa. He did not call out to Kendall. He stood in a corner she could not see and observed her in the backyard.
She rested her head on her hands and looked at the twinkling stars and the moon in the sky.
She looked a little depressed with her lips pouted.
Zayden reached down to pick up his phone and dial her number.
"Have you arrived?" Kendall asked in a low and muffled voice.
"Hungry? I see you rubbing your stomach."
"I didn't eat much today..."
She hadn't bought a lot of food. And she was busy cooking for Rick because he was in such a good mood. She hadn't eaten much at all. Now she was asked by Zayden, of course she was even more hungry.
Zayden chuckled and said, "Do you like barbecue?"
Barbecue?
"Do you want to treat me to a barbecue?" Kendall's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Can I?"
"Let's go! Where are you now?"
Zayden slowly drove the car to the front of her and stopped outside the gate. He rolled the window down and smiled at her. "Kendall."
Kendall turned around abruptly. When she saw Zayden, she ran over at once. "I'm starving!" "Don't worry, eat this first." Zayden opened the
glove box and took out a chocolate bar. "I often eat this to fill my stomach. You won't be too hungry, so it doesn't matter if you don't eat later. So don't eat too much, just half or a third will be enough."
"Is this very filling?" Kendall tore open the package and took a bite. It was so sweet. It was delicious and not bad at all. But she just didn't like it very much.
"It's okay. It'll be better if you drink some water." Zayden opened another box.
"Is your car magic?"
Kendall looked surprised.
How could there be so much food here?
