Chapter 988

After a moment's consideration, Elliot decided to head to Rosacus City to check things out for himself.

If Chelsea truly was dead, then he and Ben can bury her together.

The only worry was that Chelsea was still alive and Ben was the one who was in trouble.

At ten in the morning, the vice president of Sterling Group knocked on Chad's office door, then walked
in and asked, "Is Mr.Foster not coming in today? Why haven't I been able to contact Mr.Schaffer since
yesterday?"

"Mr.Foster is busy, so he won't be in the office today.As for Mr.Schaffer, I can't contact him either.I don't
know what's going on with him."

"Oh, could Mr.Schaffer be in some kind of trouble? This has never happened before," said the vice
president worriedly.

"Is Mr.Foster going to look for Mr.Schaffer?"

"Probably! He didn't say for sure."

Chad adjusted his glasses, then said, Don't worry.There's shouldn't be a problem.Mr.Foster would tell
us if something really happened."

The vice president nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said, "That Sierra University that
Mr.Foster went to for the training course a few days ago just announced its permanent closure today."

"Oh? I haven't heard about it yet.Where did you hear the news from?" Chad asked.

"A friend of mine from Mount Sierra told me about it."



Then, the vice president lowered his voice and said, "He said that Roger Goldstein offended everyone
who went for the training course a few days ago.Nothing dangerous happened at the time, but
everyone saw Goldstein's true colors and cut ties with him.Even if he didn't shut down the course, I
doubt anyone would ever sign up for it again."

"That's true.Goldstein must have been out of his mind to have been used as someone's puppet like
that."

"Do you know who was inciting him?" asked the vice president.

Chad shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"That person sure has guts.I can't figure out who it was at all! Let me know if you find out," the vice
president said, then strode out of the room.

Once the vice president left, a lightbulb lit up in Chad's head.

Could Ben's radio silence have something to do with whoever was behind the Mount Sierra fiasco?
Could that person be...

Chelsea Tierney? Chad's entire body broke into goosebumps when he thought of the possibility.

After her disfigurement, it was as if Chelsea had turned into a completely different person.

If she truly was behind the plan to annihilate Villa de Sierra, then Chad would not find it strange at all.

It was as if she was the only person who could come up with such an insane idea.

Avonsville Elementary was the top private elementary school in the city.

It was an excellent school in every aspect, from the teaching staff to the rate of further education
among the students through the years.



Avery did not hesitate in her choice to send Layla here when she was looking at elementary schools,
because it was the same school that she wanted to go to when she was younger.

Once morning classes were over, the students made their way to the cafeteria in an orderly manner.

Layla her classmates got their lunch trays and took their seats at the dining tables.

A teacher brought over a few containers of fruit.

"We have fresh cherries today.Everyone gets a share."

The teacher placed the container with the most cherries in front of Layla.

Once the teacher walked away, the little girl who was sitting next to Layla looked enviously at the
cherries in front of her.

"You got more cherries than we did, Layla! The teacher's playing favorites!"

Layla handed her cherries over to the little girl and said, "I don't really like cherries.You can have them!"

Excitement washed over the little girl's face as she said, ''You're the best, Layla! Cherries are my
favorite! Thank you!"

"You're welcome! Eat them if you like them!"

Moments later, Layla finished her lunch, then got up and prepared to return to the classroom.

Just as she had taken a few steps away, someone suddenly screamed, "Kiki! What's wrong, Kiki?! Why
did you fall asleep?! You haven't finished your food yet!"

"Kiki! Wake up!"
