Female Novel
Chapter 379
Olivia could imagine how much the Fordhams loved Quinn. She was also amazed at how rich theywere.
She couldn’t imagine just grabbing a billion dollars and running away.
“So she never contacted you?”
“No. She blocked us before she left. We couldn’t contact her at all.”
“What about the money? She’ll have to spend some money at least, right? Can’t you figure out whereshe is based on the sources of her expenditure?”
Avery shook his head. “I wish we could. Two months ago, she caused quite a lot of damage to thehouse. When she left, the whole family was cleaning up after her.
“We feared that she would do something even worse if we cornered her. So, we decided to let herleave for now.
“We hoped that she would choose to come home after realizing how dark things could be
outside.
“But we didn’t expect her to hide her traces. She also began laundering the money quickly. Shetransferred the billion dollars out of her account.
“When we realized that something was wrong, she had already arrived in Aldenvine. Her account wasempty, so we couldn’t locate her based on her expenditure.”
The more Olivia heard, the more suspicious it sounded to her. “Mr. Fordham, this doesn’t sound likeeloping. It feels more like it was planned ahead of time.
“If they could launder the money in such a short time, they must have a professional team behind thescenes. They could even avoid getting tracked by your family. Do you think Ms. Fordham wasscammed?”
Avery agreed. “We thought the same as well. We went to look for the man’s family, but we realized thathis nationality and identity were all faked. No one knew who he truly was.
“My family has been searching for a whole month. I especially came to Aldenvine because she saidthat she loved this country and wanted to live here.
“I’ve been here for a week, but I haven’t heard any news about her.”
Avery sighed heavily. “We’re all very anxious these days. We just want to find Quinn as soon aspossible. That child…”
The phone on the desk started vibrating. Giving Olivia an apologetic look, he answered the call.

“Hello.” His voice was gentle.
A charming female voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Have you found Quinn, Avery?”
Avery answered honestly, “I haven’t gotten any news so far.”
“She might have left Aldenvine already. Take care, Avery. Don’t miss your dialysis
appointment. You’re all alone outside, and I’m worried about you.”
“Silly child, I’m fine. Just stay home and take good care of Dad and Mom. I’ll bring Quinn back.
“Okay. Then I won’t bother you anymore, Avery.”
The call ended. Avery said, “That was the sixth child of our family, Sia. Unlike Quinn, she’s gentle andobedient.”
Olivia noticed the tenderness in his gaze. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “You have quite the livelyfamily, Mr. Fordham.”
“Yes, my parents have always been close to each other. After Sia was born, my mother’s healthdeclined. It was only then that she stopped giving birth.”
Avery remembered what he read from Olivia’s documents. Her parents divorced early on, and she hadbeen living in a single-parent household all this while.
Her father got into an accident two years ago, and she got divorced six months ago. He could see thather life was quite tough as well.
“Would you like something more to eat?” Avery asked gently.
Olivia shook her head. “It’s okay, I’m quite full. Thank you, Mr. Fordham.”
Thinking of something, Olivia returned to the topic.
“Mr. Fordham, can I ask a few more questions about Toxic Hive? I heard that they did a lot ofexperiments in various countries, and they hurt a lot of people. Is that true?”
Avery took a sip of the lemonade. “Yes, but no one probably told you about Toxic Hive’s previous form.”
Olivia was a little surprised. “Toxic Hive’s previous form?”
Avery touched the glass in his hand. There was a deep look in his eyes, which Olivia couldn’tunderstand. “Everything in this world has two sides. Nothing is entirely good, nor is there anythingwholly bad.”
