The violent mob was very quickly pushed back.Avery pushed through the crowd, rushed to Elliot's side, and pulled his rigid body into her arms."Elliot! Don't be afraid! They're just a bunch of ignorant thugs! You're not a criminal! You're not!"Even after the perpetrators were dragged off by the police, the surrounding crowd did not put their phones away.The video of Elliot being surrounded and beaten up was quickly spread online.News like this where someone high and mighty was dragged off their pedestal always caused heated discussion.[Oh my god! Is that really Elliot Foster? He looks so miserable! I can't believe he was beaten up by a crowd in public like that… If I were him, I wouldn't dare show my face in public again!][Did you guys see how he didn't dare fight back? It's proof he really is a murderer!][What a relief! The law might not be able to punish him, but everyone carries justice in their hearts. Death to b*st*rds like him!][Wasn't he supposed to get married
Chapter 1090
Avery and Elliot had agreed that even if Henry were to expose everything to the media, they would still proceed with the wedding. Elliot's current mental state broke Avery's heart. She wanted to proceed with the wedding, but she did not want to force him into it.Most of the guests were his friends, but it was still difficult to tell if he would be treated like a monkey in a circus after the expose. Avery's tears dropped onto Elliot's trousers.He watched her sad expression and said hoarsely, "Don't cry."Avery's reason returned upon hearing his voice."I won't cry. There's nothing to cry about," she said, then put the bowl of water away and picked out a new suit from the closet."Now that everything's out in the open, there's no reason for us to be worried about it." She placed the suit on the bed and began to unbutton Elliot's shirt.His shirt was not dirty, but it was wrinkled.She did not want to see him wearing wrinkled clothes.For years, Elliot had always been a dash

"If Avery isn't scared, then why should I be?" Chad retorted. "Do you think Avery's an idiot?""You guys might think there's nothing wrong with him, but other people don't feel the same. I'm worried their kids would get affected by this," Mike said worriedly. "It would be good if Elliot would explain his motive behind the murder back then.""Mr. Foster won't give an explanation," Chad said with certainty. "He hates explaining himself to others. However, I believe that he had a good reason for doing something that extreme. Maybe it was self-defense.""I know your boss doesn't like explaining himself. If he won't even give Avery an explanation, then what are the odds that he would give one to other people? Avery's the only one who can handle that temper of his! He's arrogant as hell. He finally got taught a lesson today!""Are you trying to kick a man while he's down? If Mr. Foster is in the wrong, then let the law deal with him. Everything that has happened today has all the marking
Chapter 1092
Mike and Chad were at the entrance of the resort. They had underestimated Nathan's tenacity. Some people would leave after you chase them away. Others, however, would not leave no matter how much you tried to scare them off.Nathan had been a scoundrel for most of his life, so he was a brute who knew how to cause a scene.He threw himself on the ground and cried out at the top of his lungs.The bodyguards did not lay a finger on him. They did not dare touch him as they were aware of the exceptional circumstances. First of all, this man claimed to be Elliot's biological father.Second of all, escalating things right now would attract the attention of the nearby residents and affect the wedding.When Elliot rushed over and saw Nathan rolling around on the ground, his blood boiled and he was livid!His altercation with Henry in the morning had used him up patience and turned him cold to the core.Elliot felt as if the heavens were purposely doing this to him, trying to prevent
Chapter 1093
Chad had barely finished his sentence when Nathan cut in furiously and yelled, "Elliot Foster! You little brat! You laid your hands on me without even asking why I came here! F*ck you! Go and beat up Henry Foster if you've got the guts! You're only doing this because you know I'm your biological father and can't do much to hurt you…"Elliot felt disgusted by the sight of Nathan's moving lips.The words he was saying repulsed him even further!If Nathan had not brought Adrian back to Aryadelle to get money out of him, none of this would have happened.Nathan had single-handedly caused this entire tragedy, but he had to nerve to show up here and cause trouble. "What a reckless idiot!" thought Elliot. Elliot had to teach him a lesson today even if it meant canceling the wedding so that he would not dare to act this audaciously again!In the wedding hall, Avery heard hurried footsteps behind her.She lifted her eyes to look next to her and saw Mike approaching her."Where is he?"

"The guests are having lunch in the banquet hall, Sir," Chad said after asking one of the staff members outside the hall. "How about you get something to eat at the banquet hall first? Avery might be there right now, too."Elliot pulled his phone out of his pocket.His phone screen was cracked, but the phone still worked.He found Avery's number and dialed it. His call was answered very quickly."Avery.""Elliot."The both of them spoke at the same time."Where are you right now?""Where are you right now?"Avery and Elliot asked simultaneously.They fell into silence. A few seconds later, Avery said, "I'm at the villa. What about you?""I'm coming to you now.""Alright."Avery hung up the phone and felt relieved.Judging by Elliot's tone, it seemed like he had calmed down.It was just as Tammy had said. Once they got through today, their lives would gradually become stable.From now on, there would be nothing else that could bring them down.Elliot reached the villa f

"I don't care what they say about me." Elliot held Avery's hand, pulled her into his arms, and rested his chin on the top of her head. "Have you eaten?""I have." Avery took in the smell of medicine on him and said sadly, "I didn't have much to eat in the morning, so I was really hungry at lunch and ended up eating.""Good.""How's Nathan? You didn't beat him up too much, did you?" Avery felt uneasy.When Elliot had seen Nathan earlier, he was overcome with rage.Avery was worried that he would be too hard on him and cause more trouble."I don't know. He's probably still alive," Elliot said hoarsely. "We wouldn't have to deal with all of these problems if it weren't for him. I wouldn't be this mad if he had just stayed in Bridgedale and asked me for money.""He isn't a good father at all. Don't be mad, Elliot. Whatever he does from now on has nothing to do with us.""Alright."At the hospital, Nathan was covered in bruises, but he did not have any serious injuries.Once the d
Chapter 1096
Avery was worried that the bruises on Elliot's face would scare the children at the wedding, so she made him stay put at the villa. While he rested, she wanted him to think about everything that happened today and if there might have been a better solution if he had another chance to repeat the day.In truth, she was being resentful. He was partially responsible for the failed wedding ceremony, after all."Why won't you let him go out and meet the guests, Avery?" Ben asked after clearing his throat. "Everyone really wants to see him!""He's covered in injuries." Since Elliot was casting the blame on her, Avery decided that she did not have to save him any face. "Even his butt is bruised."Elliot was speechless.Ben was shocked and said, "Are you that seriously injured, Elliot? If you are, then you should rest."Elliot got up from the couch and said, "I'm fine.""Alright." Ben was in a dilemma.Elliot walked over to Avery and negotiated with her. "It's our wedding day. It doesn'
