“Where’s the address?” Avery’s voice was trembling. He wanted an answer desperately.
“The abandoned industrial areas.”
Hunter looked straight at Madison. He knew it had happened when Leia kidnapped her. He didn’t realize she had gone through so much. He knew she must’ve been scared to be so close to a dead body.
Madison looked at Hunter and said, “I’m indebted to Mr. Avery. This is your city. Help him out.”
Hunter saw that there was nothing between Madison and Avery, so he didn’t act petty and jealous. He agreed, “Alright, leave it to me. I’ll get someone on it right away.’
The auction for the emerald pendants had just started. As soon as Madison made a bid, everyone looked toward her room.
The people present knew that Madison was a powerful person due to the commotion that happened in front of her room just now. So, no one placed a bid after Madison. She was able to get the pendants back relatively easily.
She had seen these pendants when she was a kid. But she had no idea what they were for. She only started to grow sentimental about these items after she grew up. The pendants were important not just because they were expensive but also because they held a lot of memories.
Madison put the pendants away carefully. Hunter had also prepared the helicopter. He turned to look at Madison and said, “You should go back and get some rest.”
Madison wouldn’t have cared about the body of a stranger. For some reason, when she thought about the dead body on the boat, she felt a different emotion.
“I’ll go take a look. The helicopter is fast; it won’t take long.”
On the helicopter, Hunter asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you saw a dead body?”
Madison fell silent for a while before sneering, “Nothing would’ve changed even if I had told you. Would you have avenged me against your sister? Do you think this is all she has done to me?
“I didn’t even tell you that she’s the one who leaked my location to Mr. Davis. She also tried to inject poison into me that night by impersonating a doctor. If she hadn’t gotten news of you finding Toxic Hive’s base, I would’ve been dead.””
Madison said everything in a calm tone, but Hunter’s expression changed drastically.
“Madie, I’m sorry.”
Madison looked at the hand she couldn’t even feel and smiled. “You don’t have to apologize. You made a choice. When you chose her, that was the end of us. Hunter, I have no choice but to live under your protection now. But I’m doing this for the babies. It’s not what I want to do.”
Raising her head, she looked Hunter in the eye. Her expression was stern. “I hate Leia, but I hate you more. If I ever get the chance, I’ll inflict the pain I felt back to you several times over.”
The helicopter landed on the spacious platform. When Madison stepped out of the aircraft, she could feel a heatwave from all directions.
Hunter held her hand carefully and said, “It’s hot outside. You should wait for me in the helicopter.”
“No need.”
Madison was determined to get off the helicopter. Avery had also gathered a lot of men. He tried to suppress the fear in his heart as he asked, “Madison, where did you see the body?”
Madison found the boat she got on when she fell into the ocean from memory. “It’s that one. The body was still there then. But it’s been six months. I’m not sure…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Avery was already running toward the boat. He disregarded Bryce’s words.
“Be careful, Mr. Avery. Don’t forget that you’re not in good health.”
Avery didn’t listen. He had been looking for his sister for so long. Now that he had a lead, it was about her death.
Avery, who was usually calm, felt like his legs were about to give way. His mind was in disarray. But still, he moved forward.
The wind was howling in his ears as he climbed up the boat. The bodyguards got up to the boat before him. Everyone had their flashlights on as they entered the cabin. Before long, they could smell the pungent scent in the air.
The wood had been soaked in water for a long time. It became moldy and smelly. There was also the smell of rotting meat.
Bryce said, “Mr. Avery, the smell is putrid. Maybe you should wait outside.”
Avery ignored him. He turned on his flashlight and walked faster. His heart was beating erratically, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
A loud voice came from inside the boat. “We found it. Over here.”
Avery’s knees gave out. He almost fell to the ground, but Bryce was able to catch him in time.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Avery. Even if there is a body, it might not be Ms. Evans. Her necklace was gone, so maybe the earrings and ring were also bought by someone else.”
Avery wanted to say, “I hope so”, but no words came out.
He trembled as he ran toward where the voice came from. The closer he got, the more unpleasant the smell became.
He finally saw the body under the light of several flashlights. After six months of decay, the body had been reduced to a partial skeleton, and some clothes were scattered on the ground. The diamonds were shining under the glow of the flashlights.
“Mr. Avery, it’s indeed the rose diamond earrings.”
One of the men wrapped the jewelry in tissue and picked it up. There were the earrings and the sapphire ring.
Avery took a look at them. It was precisely as Madison described. He should feel lucky that this area had been abandoned, which was why the scene could be preserved.
Although he had found the jewelry, he still couldn’t prove that the body was his sister. Avery steadied himself and said with great strain, “Secure the scene. If this is the primary crime scene, there will be more clues.”
“Yes, Mr. Avery. About that body…”.
“Bring it back. Let forensics examine it carefully. I want to do a DNA test.”
Avery hobbled off the boat. His mind was wandering, and his eyes were out of focus.
Madison saw the body being wrapped in white sheets. She knew that the body had been found.
“Are you okay, Mr. Avery?”
Avery came back to his senses and looked at Hunter. “Mr. Williams, I’m afraid I need to ask for your assistance.”
Hunter looked at Madison, and he didn’t refuse. “Tell me what you need.”
The Evans Family was internationally renowned. But it was still harder for Avery to get things done outside his country.
Hunter still had more accessible resources in Aldenvine.
Hunter quickly mobilized some people to perform tests on the body. Avery didn’t move at all as his gaze drifted into the distance.
Madison brought him a glass of lemonade and said gently, “The results will be out soon, Mr. Avery. You don’t have to worry.
“It might not be what we thought it was. Have some water.”
Avery came back to his senses. He hoarsely said, “Can you tell me how you saw her?”
Madison recounted the story of how she escaped to the boat. She talked about hiding in the same pool of dirty water as the body.
She even mentioned seeing the fish swimming from the body’s eye socket.
The expressions of both Hunter and Avery turned serious.
Hunter had known about her escape, but he didn’t know how hard it was.
Avery’s eyes became bloodshot. He clutched his knees with his hands. The fabric of the pants was scrunched up.
“Don’t be sad, Mr. Avery. The results are not out yet. You’re ill, and you shouldn’t be overly emotional.
Avery shook his head and said, “Madison, I have a bad feeling about this. The body might be Quinn’s.”
Madison had just gone through the whole incident with Jeff. She understood the pain of losing a family member. She tried her best to comfort Avery.
Before she could speak, Avery interrupted her, “Six months ago, me and my brothers would have this dream pretty frequently. In the dream, Quinn was crying for help in the water.
“She wanted us to help her. We thought it was a coincidence. But we were also afraid that something might have happened to her. So we started to look for her.
“We searched for Quinn for six months, but we couldn’t find her. The bastard also went missing. But the dream about Quinn never stopped.
“She was always clutching her chest with dirty water all over her body. You mentioned that a gunshot wound killed the body, right?”
A chill went down Madison’s spine when she heard that. She nodded with a blank expression.
“I’m not sure if the gunshot wound was the killing blow, but when I saw her, she seemed to have died for a week to half a month.
“The gunshot wound was very apparent on her chest. I can be sure she was shot when she was alive.”
Avery clenched his fists. He knew in his heart what the results were.
Although Quinn lived a lavish life, she was still a good kid. If she just ran away from home, it would be unfeasible that she never called home for so long and let her family know she was safe.”
Recently, everyone in the family was worried out of their minds about Quinn. They asked everywhere for Quinn’s whereabouts.
There were some elderly in the family. Quinn wouldn’t want them to worry.
Since she didn’t call home, something probably happened to her.
Hunter wasn’t interested in the affairs of another family. He pulled Madison to a seat and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll bring you home.”
“No need. The results will be out soon.”
Madison was praying for Avery inwardly. She didn’t want the body to be Quinn’s corpse.
Madison inhaled sharply, suddenly frowned, and expressed mild surprise.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just felt some pain in my stomach.”
“See, even the kids are asking you to sleep.”
Madison knew that a pregnant woman shouldn’t always be nervous. She was almost five months pregnant.
Fetal movements would be more frequent. But it was like Madison’s babies didn’t want to hurt her.
They never made huge movements.
That kick just now was pretty rough. Madison sat down and sipped on the water Hunter handed to her.
She turned and saw Hunter staring at her stomach.
“What are you looking at?”
A flash of uneasiness appeared on Hunter’s face. He said in a softer voice, “Can… I touch them?”
Madison remembered when she felt the baby’s movements during her first pregnancy. She was as happy as a child, and she eagerly shared her joy with Hunter.
That day, she sent many voice messages and videos to him, but she didn’t receive any reply.
When he finally returned at night, she happily went up to him and told him, “Hunter, the baby moved. It’s real. I felt the baby moving. Come on, try touching it.”
She was only three months pregnant back then, and her tummy wasn’t protruding too much. Hunter only glanced coldly at her before leaving.
She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped onto her, and the coldness seeped into her heart.
At that moment, she finally realized that not everyone was as enthusiastic as her.
Later, the child grew bigger, and their movements became more obvious. But she never told Hunter about it again.
Back then, Hunter would either spend almost the entire day outside or be away for extended periods. He didn’t notice the changes in her body at all.
In the few months she was pregnant, Hunter never once touched her belly.
But today, he had carefully voiced his request. There was even a pleading look in his eyes.
Madison opened her mouth to decline when a knock came from the door. Avery and Madison immediately looked at the entrance.
Bryce and Brent came in one after the other. Bryce was holding a paper bag in his hands. He said with a grave expression, “Mr. Avery. The forensic expert is still in the middle of the autopsy.
“The DNA test results were released early, and I was there throughout the whole test. There is nothing wrong with this report.
Avery slowly took the paper bag. His fingers were visibly shaking as he opened the bag.
In the silent room, Madison even held her breath. She subconsciously gripped her skirt.
