Chapter 143 Finding Solace

Frank looked at her, confused. Instead of looking at him, Avery gazed into the distance and continued,

"To be honest, when I said I would help you, it wasn't out of sincerity. Once you get involved with that

person, there's no way to come out unscathed."

"When you receive the ransom, you will fall into his trap. Not only you, but everyone on this island will

be in danger."

Upon hearing these words, Frank subconsciously touched the knife hidden by his side. Avery ignored

his action and continued, "But then I saw that each of you, despite living in poverty, have a positive

spirit.

"Perhaps it's an elderly person in the village who died because he couldn't afford medical treatment.

Maybe it's Randy, who wants to learn how to draw but can't even afford a pencil. Or it could be Lois,

who cut up her softest piece of clothing to make diapers for a stranger's child. Suddenly, I understand

you. You're not from here, are you?"

"No," Frank replied succinctly.

"You want to help them as much as you can, and now I feel the same way. This place is beautiful and

shouldn't be tainted by worldly affairs. It should continue to bask in the sunlight."

"What do you mean?" Frank was patient. On this day, he treated her as a guest instead of discussing

how to blackmail Jacob.

In fact, it was this kindness that made Avery change her initial intention of teaching them a lesson.

"What you want is money, and it doesn't have to be from Jacob."

She looked into his eyes and stressed his tone. "I have money. It's not a lot, but it should be enough to

help you guys."

"How much do you have?"

"one hundred million dollars." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Frank was stunned. Did she call that not a lot?

Under Frank's inquisitive gaze, Avery chuckled. "I know you must be wondering how someone could be

so foolish to willingly give money to strangers. I only told half of the story. Would you like to hear the

other half?"

"Yes, please go ahead."

Amidst the sea breeze, she gently recounted the events.

After hearing her out, Frank said immediately, "I'll help you kill him."

She chuckled. "Killing him won't prolong my life. I don't have much time left. I donated one hundred

million dollars to charity before, and now the rest of my money has found its owner. In fact, it is his

money. Let me pay the ransom for him."

Frank fell into silence. Avery continued, "Don't provoke him. He's a madman. Madmen are not scary in

this world. What is terrifying is a madman with money and power. Perhaps you think this place is

isolated, but it's only a matter of time before he finds it."

"Don't you hate him?"

"I loved him and hated him. At one point, I even thought about taking revenge on him by killing his

child. But after spending a day here, I suddenly feel much calmer."

Avery extended her hand, sensing the fleeting sensation of the sea breeze passing through her

fingertips. "I think I've finally found my resting place. Frank, can I use the one hundred million dollars to

buy a grave here?"

She decided to be buried on this island after she found out the truth, got her revenge, and ended things

with that person completely. How nice it would be!

Frank knew about cancer very well. He had buried several seniors on the island. Their deaths had

been painful.

He never expected that this frail woman in front of him also had such an illness. No wonder she fainted

when she jumped onto the speedboat.

She was just too weak.

"Alright." Frank agreed to this pact of life and death.

"Let Ethan stay with me for another week, and then we'll send him back."

"Okay."

Frank suddenly reached out and pulled her up. "Come with me."
