"Why did you come so far to look for a job?” Elliot suppressed his grief. He was afraid that if he looked too sad, it would affect Avery.
"My family forced me to marry an old man. I was not willing to do it... so I escaped.
Back then, I was just thinking of running as far away as I could, so I came all the way here. It's a bustling city. There are many job opportunities..." Holly did not continue further.
Elliot’s gaze no longer had murderous intent.
Holly secretly let out a sigh. She considered herself safe for the time being. She did not want to reveal too much of her past to them. These were her wounds.
Telling people meant that she was showing them their wounds.
Avery listened to them chatting occasionally. Her heart was empty, yet it was also painful.
Actually, she had long prepared for the worst. Now, she had received the confirmation of the worst.
An hour later, the car arrived at the first pit.
"Continue ahead. There will be a fork, and you need to take the path to the right," said Holly, guiding Avery. "I don't know if the car can manage. It's a mud road, and it might be hard to drive. If the car can't go, we need to walk."
"How long do we have to walk?" Elliot asked cautiously.
"About more than ten minutes! That place is where we stay. No one has been staying there for a long time. I think the people abandoned it." Holly's gaze was cold without any focus. "Elliot, don't tell me you're regretting it? I have told you where your daughter is. I'm not asking you for money. I only ask you that you let me go..."
"Once we find her bones and confirm it with a DNA test then we'll see." Elliot looked at her coldly.
Holly started to secretly worry due to his gaze.
"Holly, if my daughter were still alive, I would have surely let you live, but now that she is dead... Even if you were forced to do their bidding, you deserve to die, and all your friends deserve to be locked away forever. All of you will die!"
Elliot's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He did not bother hiding the decision he had arrived at.
