Chapter 258 Two Years Later

Braylen almost lost his head. Avery had come here, so it was impossible to avoid seeing him.

Braylen was in a good mood when he suddenly found Darlene. On the way back, he was humming a tune with a happy expression.

Even if Darlene’s current situation was not optimistic, it was a huge surprise for him that she was still alive.

His original good mood disappeared when Braylen saw Avery outside the window.

Braylen quickly adjusted his expression and got out of the car with a tired and annoyed face.

When he opened his car door, Avery immediately went closer to the door of the driver’s seat and looked at the passenger seat and back seat to see if Braylen had brought anyone back.

When Avery looked inside, Braylen directly closed the car door with a bang and looked coldly at the suspicious man.

“What are you doing here? Mr. Gallard, you should know that I have been in a bad mood recently. You’d better not go crazy in front of me.”

Avery carefully examined Braylen’s expression. The news he just got wouldn’t be wrong. Braylen returned to the Swale’s villa at midnight but suddenly drove away from the villa not long after.

Moreover, Braylen’s destination was very clear. He directly drove to a villa not far from the Beaufort Sea on the outskirts of the city.

Avery had checked. That villa was a private residence that belonged to the famous great painter and model Callie, who had just returned to America.

Avery questioned, “What did you do just now?”

Braylen looked at Avery as if staring at a madman. “What does it have to do with you where I went? Avery, I’m afraid that you are used to controlling others as you control my sister. You think that anyone has to report to you whatever they do.

“My family has no time to settle accounts with you regarding my sister’s death. Yet you showed up yourself.”

Braylen walked into the villa. “Get lost. I don’t have the mood to deal with you right now. You’d better go as far away as possible. Otherwise, don’t blame me for hurting you.”

Avery followed Braylen from behind,

“Braylen, you went to look for Darlene, right?

“You ran outside in such a panic at midnight.

If not for Darlene, you wouldn’t have gone out when you returned to the Swale’s villa not long ago.”

Braylen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and was about to punch Avery. “I’ll say it again. None of your fucking business.”

Avery was unwilling to leave no matter what. He extended his hand to block the fist that was thrown at him.

Braylen only punched Avery in the palm. Avery still stood there motionless, staring at Braylen. “I won’t do anything else. If she is still alive, let me take a look at her. As long as she is fine, I promise I won’t

disturb her.”

Braylen was angry, and he punched Avery in the face with the other hand again. “Are you deaf or blind?

“You know better than anyone whether my sister is dead or alive right now. Don’t pretend to be affectionate now. Avery, you are the most unworthy.

“If you want to see her, kill yourself and see if you can meet her in heaven.”

Avery was so exhausted that he fell into a coma. He had just received the news and came out of the hospital to look for Braylen in a hurry.

Avery did not have much strength now.

Braylen punched him a few times, and Avery fell to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but he did not give up. “Braylen, I really won’t do anything. If she is still alive, let me see her.

“The Swale family can do whatever you want. If you think that I killed her and forced her to do so, I will admit it. In front of the police, I will not change my word. Just let me see her.”

Braylen’s eyes were red, “I won’t force you to do that. Why don’t you do this? If you can find her alive and let my family take a look at her…

“We won’t sue you. Instead, we’ll be grateful. How about it? If you have the ability, go and find her alive.” explained or hid anything, he could guess that Braylen had found Darlene alive.

But Braylen did not. Braylen broke down and looked extremely terrible. Avery could not find any flaws.

Braylen took a step closer and growled,

“What a great deal! Go and find my sister. Avery, aren’t you very capable? Don’t you always think that Darlene is still alive? Go find her!”

Braylen roared in a low and hoarse voice. filled with extreme anger and hatred.

Avery could not continue asking. He could not say a single word.

Everyone knew that Darlene was dead but didn’t want to admit it. It was only because the corpse had not been found.

Braylen’s eyes were red. He grabbed a pot outside the door and smashed it hard at

Avery’s feet. “Get lost! Whether my sister is dead or alive, you are not worthy of seeing her again!”

Avery let out a heavy gasp. Braylen angrily beat him up, scolded him, and smashed him with things. Avery just did not leave.

He staggered to Braylen’s car and the trunk to check. He murmured, “She is not dead.”

Cyrus came down from the car behind and grabbed Avery’s arm. “Mr. Gallard, please go. It’s almost morning. Don’t disturb Mr. Swale’s rest.”

Avery shook his head. “Cyrus, she is not dead. Her body has not been found, so she must still be alive. How can a dead person not have a body? A dead person will leave a body behind.”

Braylen walked in with a sullen expression and said coldly, “Get lost. I don’t want to see you again.”

Cyrus took Avery away in his car. Not until the sound of the car slowly faded away did

Braylen stop in his tracks and turn around to look at the car that had disappeared into the night.

He sneered. “Bah, you deserve it. You’d better get angry and die.”

After entering the villa, Braylen called Adam.

Since the villa had not been cleaned up,

Braylen asked Adam to go to Callie’s place to pick up Darlene later after the villa was ready.

At this time, Adam left Callie’s place with Darlene.

Adam picked up the phone. Braylen said,

“Don’t come. Go to the villa in the southern suburbs. I’ll come back later.”

“Okay.”

Two years later.

In the living room, the TV was on. A piece of news was being broadcast.

“Yesterday morning, the police arrested five drug users in Blue Dawn in Baltimore. It was found that a huge drug trafficking gang was involved. At present, the police are still conducting a further investigation.”

“In the nightclub room that night, the president of the Gallard Group, Avery Gallard, was also among them. As for whether Mr. Gallard was a drug user, the police are still investigating it…”

Darlene was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and drawing. She probably heard the news and turned back to take a look.

The maid Jane Houen was just casually watching TV. She immediately turned off the volume anxiously and switched to another channel.
