Avery's vision turned blurry. Her heart constricted tightly. She pursed her lips and persisted through the sadness."Avery, why are you not saying anything?" Wesley heard her heavy breathing. He immediately said, "If you can't, it's fine. Shea still doesn't know that you found me. She also doesn't know that she isn't Elliot's sister, nor that Adrian is her brother. I don't want her to know all these.""Wesley, I want to save Shea, I really do, but Adrian has been taken away." Avery wiped away her tears. She said in a hoarse voice, "I'll try to find a way.""Did they take Adrian away because they wanted to ask you for money?" Wesley could immediately pinpoint the problem astutely. "How much are they asking for?"If Wesley could get this amount of money, he would offer to pay."They don't want my money. Even if I gave them all my belongings, they don't want it either," Avery choked up and said, "They want Elliot's money." When Wesley heard what she said, he immediately said, "Then

Cole slapped Avery hard. If she did not cover the bruise on her face, she did not dare to return home, because if Elliot saw that she was bullied, he would surely get to the bottom of it and avenge her.At that moment, Adrian was still with Henry and Cole. She could not worsen the conflict between them.After dinner, Elliot brought the children to the courtyard to play.Mike and Avery were slowly walking behind them."Have you thought about what I said to you during the day?" Mike asked softly, "I have already contacted a professional assassin. I have been to Henry and Cole's house the last time. All I need is a nod, and this issue will be solved tonight."Avery was stunned. She asked, "I don't know where Adrian is being hidden. If you kill Henry and Cole, how are you going to look for Adrian?"Mike had not thought about this question, but he did not find this to be a huge problem. "When we kill Henry and Cole, we'll get Elliot to use his powers and send men and sweep the city. I

However, Elliot would not lose his temper and question her as he did in the past.Since she was not telling him, there was nothing he could do."Babe, don't be afraid." Avery planned to let Robert's hand go. "Walk over to Layla. Try it and see. You can do it."Robert's face was filled with fear, but he still bravely opened his arms and step forward little by little, fumbling toward Layla.Although his walk was still rather staggering as if he could fall at any moment, he was brave.When he walked to Layla, Layla hugged him tightly."Robert, you're amazing! Walk toward Mommy!" Layla turned him around so that he could walk toward Avery.This time, he was much braver than before.He seemed to know that he would not fall, so he was soon by Avery."Elliot! Did you see it? Our son can walk!" Avery was engrossed in that moment of happiness. "Come walk with Robert. I want to capture this moment."Elliot immediately came over and bent down where she was a moment ago. He got Robert to

The next day, Avery got up early. She covered the bruise on her face with concealer.Elliot's hoarse voice suddenly came from the bed. "Avery, why are you up so early? Did you lose sleep?""I slept early last night, so I woke up earlier today." Avery looked at the time. It was not even seven in the morning yet. "Elliot, sleep a little longer. It's still early."Elliot looked at her made-up face. He said in confusion, "Are you heading out today?""I'm planning to go to work starting today. I can't stay home any longer." Avery smiled. "You were saying that I was thinking nonsense previously. If I were to go to work, I wouldn't be like that anymore.""Even if you're going to work, you don't have to get up so early. Come sleep with me a while longer." Elliot reached his hand out.Avery found it hard to refuse him, so she walked over to the bed and sat down.His deep-set eyes were looking at her face closely."I have never seen you make up for work before." He knew that she did not

The last time Avery felt so terrible was when she stabbed Elliot.She never liked to run away from anything, but at that moment, she was so aggravated that she lost it all. She did not want to listen to Cole's voice. She felt her heart constrict whenever she heard his voice. She was in so much pain she was about to die.On the other end of the line, Cole only heard a crashing sound, followed by nothing else.He looked at the screen, the call was not disconnected. He guessed that Avery smashed her phone in exasperation. He smiled sinisterly.He wondered how long Avery could last. He hung up and said to Henry, "I'm guessing Avery won't last long.""Cole, let's change houses!" Henry furrowed his brows. "I dreamt that Elliot was coming after us last night. I'm afraid that we might get killed even before getting the money.""I have thought about this problem. When we get Avery to give us Elliot's shares, we'll immediately leave the country. Then, let's see if we keep the shares to get

Avery placed her phone down and slumped onto her desk, sobbing.Someone knocked and entered. When they saw her crying on her desk, they were stunned and immediately left the room!The person that knocked on the door was the Head of the R&D Department. He only wanted to come to talk to Avery about their new product, but when he saw her crying, he instantly panicked. He felt awkward too. He did not know what to do, so he could only pretend that he did not see her.He took his phone out and called Mike. He explained the situation to Mike and got him to go check up on Avery later.If he were to go to her office to check up on her at that moment, she would surely be in a terrible state.Half an hour later, Mike could no longer take it, so he pushed and entered her office.Avery was no longer crying. She was looking at her computer screen in focus. If he did not go closer to her, he would not be able to see what was wrong with her.Once he was close, he could see her reddened and puff

At eleven in the morning, Avery got off work early to find a place to change her phone screen.She found a repair shop about a kilometer away. She walked over and handed her phone to the staff there.She waited for about half an hour. Her phone with a new screen was returned to her.After she paid, she left the shop.It was just in time for lunch. She called Mike."I'm outside, what do you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."Mike heard her voice and felt extremely awkward. If she knew that he had told Elliot about her, she would surely be mad."I'm having lunch with some colleagues," Mike refused politely, "Why don't you head home and rest after lunch!""Hmm, then I'll just head home." She could clearly sense Mike being aloof and distant from her, but her head hurt terribly, she did not have the energy to deal with it.After hanging up, she walked back to her office and drove away.She only had one week. She had to properly think about how she was going to bring that up

Elliot held his phone and looked straight ahead at Chad."Mr. Foster, your phone is ringing. Why are you not answering it?" Chad placed Elliot's lunch on his desk. He smiled as a reminder.Elliot's expression was cold. He said in a cold and low voice, "Leave."Chad realized that Elliot was not picking up the call because he was there, so he immediately left.Elliot answered the call."Mr. Foster, I have sent the call recording to your email. Please have a look," The person on the other end of the call said politely."Got it." Elliot hung up and looked at his inbox. He clicked into the new email.He could see the most recent recording. It was a call Avery made to Henry.He played the recording, and it was instantly played out loud in his office."Henry, I will give you the things that you want as soon as possible!" Avery's cold voice came through. "Don't hurt Adrian anymore! If you bully him again, I'll make sure that you won't get anything! He is your family! Not mine! If he d
