When Avery approached Logan Arlington's study, he sat on the sofa, with his hands habitually resting on his overlapping knees.
Staring at Avery, Logan asked, "Are you the daughter of Olivia and Anthony?"
"Yes." Avery stopped in front of him, and there was a coffee table between them.
Logan's fingers moved slightly on his knees, and the subtle movement may not even have been noticed by himself.
"To be frank, I'm not just here to see you."
Logan raised his eyebrows, "What else do you want?"
He looked at Avery again, who was in front of him and had a pair of bright eyes, which revealed her calmness and intelligence.
"If you want me to delete the video, I have two requirements."
"Just say it."
"The first one, get us out of here. Second, I want to see Cindy Michelle." The ring in Cindy's hand was the thing Avery was interested in.
Ten minutes later, she saw Cindy in the meeting room, and Cindy was stunned. With a cigarette in her hand, Cindy smoked heavily.
"You and your baby are fortunate."
Her words were familiar to Avery, who also seemed to understand, "You are Cindy?"
"How do I look? You didn't recognize me?" Cindy laughed, and continued to smoke, having no intention to take care of the pregnant woman in front of her.
"Why are you here?"
"I escaped here, or I would have died at your husband's gun. Oh, I forgot, you and Mr. Howel have divorced. Congratulations."
Avery was a little surprised. Although Cindy was in Country B, she knew a lot of things.
Finding that Avery was looking at her, Cindy also looked at her, "You don't just want to make sure I have plastic surgery, do you? Are you curious why I wanted you dead at that time?"
Cindy sat on the coffee table in the room, and her whole body leaned back. Soon, she heard Avery deny it.
"No."
Avery looked at her finger, "I'm curious about the ring on your hand."
Cindy looked down at the red diamond ring on her finger, "You say this one?"
Avery thought she wouldn't tell her truth so easily. Unexpectedly, Cindy confessed, "This ring is not mine. It's your mother's."
Her being outspoken, on the contrary, made Avery surprised.
It's rare to see Avery's dull appearance. Cindy was very proud to say, "What a surprise, right? Your mother and Logan have been in love before."
"You don't know?" Cindy smiled and said, "I have to play the role of your mother in front of Logan every day, and I was asked to have plastic surgery according to your mother's look."
"!!!"
"Don't look at me like that. The plastic surgery failed on purpose."

"On purpose?" It's no wonder that Cindy didn't look like her mother very much.
"Do you think that Molly will let me go? She used to be jealous of a dead woman, and now it's time for her to compete with me. She really has no idea how old she is."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Cindy kept silent for a moment, and her eyes flashed a trace of gloom, "Because I used almost to kill you. Oh, I heard that Leonie went crazy. She really deserved it. She was the one who wanted me to kill you."
It's really Leonie! However, Leonie was crazy, and there was no need to bother about it with a madman. But Cindy used to be at odds with Avery. Could Avery believe what she said to her?
Like seeing through her thoughts, Cindy tried to make herself look indifferent and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I can't go back to your city anyway. I just want to stay in Country B, and there is no conflict of interest with you. It's no good for me to do anything wrong with you. I won't be so stupid."
"Do you know anything about my mother and the president's wife?"
Cindy has lived in the presidential palace for a while, and she might know something from gossip even if she didn't take the initiative to ask about it.
Cindy raised her mouth corner, disdainfully. As the cigarette burned out, she pinched out the cigarette end in the ashtray, "The two women fell in love with the same man. How could your mother win Molly with her personality? I heard that Molly was pregnant later and that your mother went back to the city. Soon she got married, and you were born a year later. Molly also married Logan as she wished."
Avery did not expect to hear the story of her mother from Cindy. Feeling that her head was going to blow up, she pressed her finger against the temple, and the pain was relieved a little.
There were many puzzles in her mind, such as whether her mother got the newly developed toxin, resulting in a significant change of character.
And why would her mother be so obsessed with jumping off the cliff?
Avery thought Cindy probably didn't know it. After all, these things happened in the city.
"Thank you." Avery thought that this information was enough, "The ring..."
"I won't give it back to you. This is the reward for telling you so many secrets."
Avery nodded, "Just put it at your place for the time being."
Cindy did not expect Avery to be so generous, took out another cigarette, and squinted at her through white smoke, "I'll tell you another secret as a gift."
Avery has turned around to leave, and she was pressed in place by Cindy.
"Logan has been sending people to search for your mother all these years. When your mother jumped off a cliff and killed herself, Logan was stunned. He has never believed that your mother was dead. He said that if he could not find her body, he could not believe her death. Oh, he was so faithful to your mother. He did not touch me even if I flirted with him. I really don't know how Molly got pregnant in the past."
No wonder Logan was very calm in the face of Cindy that day.
Avery's mother tried to jump out of the building many times in the city, but all stopped by Anthony, so Avery's memory always stayed in the picture of persuading her mother not to jump.
But her mother was determined to die, sneaked on the cliff, and jumped off.
When Avery got out of the living room, she felt that all the strength of her body had been drawn away, and her legs were soft and almost immovable.
Evan was at the door. Logan had ordered all the people not to stop them. Avery leaned forward to hug him, "Hold me."
Evan held her up by the waist and went all the way out.
Of course, on their way out of the presidential palace, they also heard that Rebecca was temporarily out of danger.
