Chapter 113

Travis was aware of Robert's concerns, so he interrupted, "We can't let him go. Tell Aunt Charlotte that I will delay Aidan for two hours. Tell her to take advantage of this time to come settle things." In the end, Robert nodded. Aidan went downstairs. Travis drove him to the company in person. He first sent Caleb to investigate who dared to use his name to hurt Eliana. He wanted to take that person's life. After Caleb left, Aidan arranged for a few more trusted subordinates to investigate who had a hand in hurting Eliana when she was in the prison. As the female prisoners were fickle and divided, all it took were a few threats and he had the list of people involved. Aidan held the list with hatred burning in his heart. He ordered his men to return the damage threefold to the women who had caused Eliana all that pain and suffering. Eliana had suffered two years of torture, so they had to stay locked up and suffer for the rest of their lives. They would not stop until they were dead. "Also." Aidan pointed to the name of the ringleader, Olena, with a determined look in his eyes, "This woman, torture her in the cruelest way possible, but keep her alive. Let her know what it means to suffer h*ll on earth." "Yes." The subordinate left. After Aidan had arranged everything, he got up and left. On the sofa, Travis stood up and said, "Aidan..." Aidan looked at him, and his eyes returned to their previous dispirited and depressed state. Travis lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him directly. "I... have contacted Aunt Charlotte to ask her and Connor to pick Eliana up and bring her to the funeral home." Aidan's heart almost stopped for a second and he felt that even breathing was painful. Then, he ran out of the room. Travis stepped forward and blocked his way. "Aidan, stop this. Let Eliana go." Aidan raised his hand and gave Travis a hard punch. He roared with all his strength. "Get out of my way." Travis staggered a few steps and stood still. He could only watch as Aidan rushed out of the door. Along the way, Aidan continuously overtook other cars as he prayed in his heart that it was still not too late. The car stopped at the entrance to the funeral home. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw his third aunt, Charlotte, wearing a black dress, and Connor, her son, coming out of the car together. Connor was tall and handsome, and he always looked gentle, but right then, his face was full of sadness, and in his hand, he held... Aidan's heart felt like a knife had been twisted in it. His legs seemed to have lost all strength and he knelt on the ground in fear as tears streamed down his face. As she looked at him, Charlotte, who had been silently crying, finally burst into sobs. She quickly ran forward and squatted down before Aidan, patting him and pushing him vigorously. "Are you satisfied? Are you happy to see that the Harvey family is gone? Why do you have the gall to cry here? I told you not to hurt them. Why didn't you listen to me? Aidan, why are you so cruel? Do you know how much Ellie loved you? Huh?" Aidan's hands trembled and he held Charlotte's arms. His voice was full of sorrow, tension, and fear. "Aunt, where is Ellie?" Travis stepped forward and squatted in front of them. He held the urn of ashes in front of Aidan. "Ellie is in here." Aidan suddenly let go of Charlotte's hand, fell to the ground, and moved back desperately. He shook his head and said with an expression full of denial and resistance, "Nonsense, how can Ellie be in there? Ellie... My Ellie is 1.65 meters tall. Although she is very thin, she is fair and beautiful. She is very good-looking when she smiles, and she..." When Charlotte saw Aidan's reaction, she panicked and held his cold hand. "Aidan, what's wrong with you? Ellie has already..." Aidan hugged Charlotte and cried sadly like a child, "Aunt, Travis said that you took Ellie away. I know I was wrong. I dare not bully her anymore. I will treat her well, love her well, and protect her. Please give her back to me, Aunt... I can't lose her. I beg you. Give her back to me..."
