Chapter 1009
Avery video called Jun at four in the afternoon, and when Jun received her phone call, he immediately realized that something was wrong."What's wrong?" Jun felt uncomfortable being the target of her cold glare, and he felt his back grow damp with sweat. "Did Tammy say something to you? Am I not doing well enough? It shouldn't be! I've been super gentle and patient lately. Elliot told me to give Tammy more time...""Elliot said that to you?" Avery was slightly surprised."Yeah! What exactly did Tammy tell you? How am I supposed to fix it if you won't tell me?" He asked."Why are you keeping the love letter you wrote for a classmate in a box? Not only did you not destroy it, but you even kept that girl's number in your contact list. When exactly are you two planning to start dating again?" Avery asked him all the questions that Tammy dared not ask. "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand, can you give me some hints?" Jun was confused."That box you have with all your

Avery walked up to him. "What did you buy?"She had a clear view of what was in his trunk, and she instantly froze. The trunk was spacious and there was no telling what could be in it. Currently, it was jammed packed with boxes and bags."Elliot, didn't you tell me to go to your place tonight?" She changed the subject and said, "I thought you weren't coming.""You coming over, me coming over, aren't they the same thing?" He took the bags and boxes out of the trunk and said, "I was walking past a street this afternoon and saw some nice things that you and kids might like, so I bought them all."Avery was stunned for a moment, before finally realizing what he had just said. "Are you saying that you spent the entire afternoon buying all these for me and the kids?!""Yes." He continued to move the things he bought out of the trunk.She grabbed onto his arm and said seriously, "Elliot Foster! Are you still drunk from last night?"He leaned toward her.Avery flushed and shoved his handsome-l

He proposed a solution. "Then move to a bigger mansion.""The children and I have gotten used to this place, so we don't want to move," Avery said with resignation. "Just keep your urge to shop in check! I know you are rich, but money can be used to elevate our personal lives, and it can also be used for good deeds. You can make donations to poor communities in the mountains or to non-profit organizations.""I am doing all that as well." He stepped back toward the trunk and moved more boxes out. "I bought you jewelry. I know you think it's too troublesome to wear them, but I like them on you."She opened the box and found multiple smaller boxes."Elliot, did you empty the shops?""I didn't," he said. "I didn't buy the ones that didn't look good."Avery felt helpless. She knew she should be happy to receive such gifts, but she was not in the slightest bit happy. Her jewelry cabinet did not have the space for this many new pieces. "What did you buy Layla?" She suppressed the urge to lec

Though it was merely a general analysis that could be different from the final result, there was a fifty percent chance that it was accurate.Elliot had never been one to think that fate would favor those who did not believe in it.'Result: According to the DNA analysis, the results support the conclusion that there was a paternal relation in the DNA combination between sample 1 and sample 2.'Shortly after, another message came in from the person in charge of the paternity test center.[Mr. Foster, I will send you the refined result in five days.]Elliot suppressed the disgust he felt and replied calmly.[Sure.]"Elliot, I told Hayden that you had gotten him some gifts, but he refused to look at them," said Avery when she noticed Elliot staring at his phone. "Let's just tell him that I was the one who bought the workbooks! Otherwise, he is probably not going to practice at all. By the way, how did you find out that he has bad handwriting?"Elliot set his phone down to take a sip of mi

A voice in his head screamed, "You are not Eason Foster's son! You are not the chosen one! You are not a high-born boy... That creep Nathan White is your real father! There's evil blood flowing in your veins; that's why you are cruel, cold, and vicious! It won't end well for you! Even if you change now, you are still going to have to pay for your father's sins! He will drag you down to hell, and you will stay alongside him for all eternity!"His stomach twisted and turned with nausea, and he raced toward the garage. He vomited the breakfast he had just consumed. Luckily, the garage was located on the right side of the mansion and no one saw him lose his composure.He stared blankly at his vomit, and tears welled up in his eyes when he realized that his background was as filthy as the vomit on the ground.It was not that he could not accept that he was not a son of the Foster family; he simply could not accept the fact that Nathan was his father. Furthermore, he had suffered too

"All those years ago, I was the one who carried you through the doors of the Fosters' mansion. Without me, you wouldn't have such a glorious life!" Nathan said arrogantly, as though he was the one who had given Elliot everything he owned.Elliot glared at him coldly and asked with an even colder tone, "Why didn't you send your eldest son instead?"An evil smile appeared on Nathan's face. "Your brother is older and wasn't an appropriate candidate! Besides, the lady took a liking to you right away. She said that not only do you look handsome, but you look witty and smart as well. She had good eyes! Indeed, you've turned out much better than your brother!"Elliot immediately imagined the scene where he had been picked out like a commodity. Though disgusted, he realized that if he had not been sent to the Foster family, and did not have access to the lavish lifestyle and well-established education, he would have ended up exactly like Peter White."Nathan, give up already. I won't acknowled

In Tate Industries, Avery went straight to Mike's office upon arriving at the company's building.Mike was discussing the details of products with the department manager and immediately walked toward Avery when he spotted her."Why are you here out of the blue? You scared me." Mike entered his office and said, "I thought that you would be at home counting your jewelry!"Avery ignored his teasing and told him the idea she came up with on the way there. "We can use the drones to locate Adrian!"Mike's blue eyes lit up."I talked to Adrian on the phone just now. He is being imprisoned right now and can't get out, but he can talk on the phone," Avery blurted out in excitement. "I told him to place a red object by the window, and if I send the Seeker Series drones to search—""That's one way, but it wastes too much time and effort," thought Mike as he crossed his arms. "Why don't you just get the address from his family?" said Mike, offering his own suggestion. "I wouldn't have come up wit

At noon, Avery had finished work and drove to meet up with Tammy.It was the second time Tammy had an appointment for a therapy session and she appeared to be much more relaxed compared to the last time."Maybe it's because Chelsea is dead now that I don't feel as much resentment within me," Tammy said casually as she sipped on her coffee, "My psychiatrist told me not to feel inferior because guilt is something that the person who committed wrong should feel.""Of course. Did you mention that you want a manicure? Let's go to a nail salon later! I want to get my nails painted." Avery switched to a more casual topic.Tammy scanned her up and down and asked, "Since when have you started caring so much about your appearance? You are even wearing a necklace today. I dare say you are not wearing it for me, right? Do you have a date with Elliot later?"Avery couldn't help her smile. "He's so busy that he barely has the time to eat these days. How could he possibly make time for a date? I
