Chapter 384
As soon as Aveline heard the name of the poisonous worm, Aveline’s face suddenly became serious, “Mr. Kingsley, I won’t hide this from you. The people who kidnapped me and Nora previously are related to the Poisonous Worm. They are not good people.”
“I know. I used to hate them deeply. They treated people’s lives like nothing, but they could also bring people back to life. For the sake of Liz, I had no other choice.”
Aveline didn’t know if the other party was targeting Elizabeth because of her, but the other party was full of bad plans; maybe they had dug another hole for Adam.
“If you’re looking for them, you’re dealing with the devil.”
“Aveline, do you want to watch Liz die?”
If it were a week ago, she would not care about Elizabeth being alive or dead. Last night, she was embraced by Elizabeth, and Aveline could not watch her die a vague death.
When she arrived, Lucas also told her the results of their investigation. No one was in or out of the ward, only Nora.
But would Nora really do such a despicable thing to her adoptive mother? What was she planning?
In any case, this was just her speculation, without any substantial evidence.
Seeing Aveline’s silence, Adam patted her shoulder and said, “Aveline, I’ve made up my mind.”
Aveline watched his departing back and felt a sense of powerlessness spreading throughout her body.
She didn’t want things to be like that, but she had no power or influence, and she didn’t know anything about the Poisonous Worm.
She wanted to help Elizabeth, but that move was not the right one. What should she do?
Should she ask for Alexander’s help?
Layla was in front, and Nora was behind.

Chapter 384
The two candidates that Aveline had blacklisted both had a close relationship with Alexander, so Aveline did not trust him.
Aveline stood up, her handbag fell to the ground, and a business card slipped out from the unzipped pocket.
She bent down to pick it up, and her gaze paused for a moment on the words Evan.
He was the CEO of Everest Group of Companies, so he must know about the Poisonous Worm. Can she ask him for help?
But she was not familiar with him at all. Was it inappropriate to ask him to do such a thing?
Aveline was conflicted. She looked up and saw a group of people crying miserably in the distance as if they had just lost a loved one.
Aveline gritted her teeth and dialed the number on the business card.
She was prepared to be unable to reach him. After all, for such a busy person, it was difficult to get through this kind of work phone.
Unexpectedly, after three beeps, a man’s elegant voice spoke out, “Hello.”
It really went through!
Aveline’s heart was beating wildly. She was somewhat at a loss and said, “Mr. Blackwood, hello. This is Aveline. Sorry to disturb you.”
The other party recognized her voice and said with even more joy, “Miss Blackwood, are you in trouble?”
“Yes, I am in a bit of trouble. Can I meet with you to discuss it in detail?”
“That will be my pleasure.”
The two finalized the location to meet, and Evan hung up the phone.
His index finger lightly tapped on Aveline’s documents in front of him. His assistant that stood beside him, Edwards, spoke up and said, “Mr. Blackwood, do you have any questions? This Ms. Blackwood has never been abroad, so her appearance should only be a coincidence and have nothing to do with the Blackwood family.”

Evan sighed and rubbed his temples. “Well, I was overthinking it. She looks the same as my sister looked when we were young.”
“There are many similar people in this world, so it’s not surprising.”
Evan closed the folder, tidied up his clothes, and got up, “Prepare the car. Even though we are not related by blood, I still want to meet her.”
