"I'll send you a location. You can come when you're ready!" Cole said. "We'll talk about everything else when we meet."Cole hung up after he finished speaking.Avery's body froze and her heart was beating ridiculously fast.She wondered if Elliot had been up to all that when he disappeared in the past couple of days, and the answer appeared in her mind immediately following that thought.After all, no one could take Elliot's shares if he did not give the nod.Her tears immediately blurred her vision.She finally realized why everyone around Elliot hated her so much—they already knew about everything well in advance.How could they control themselves not to yell at her if Elliot transferred the shares?She felt as if she had done an unforgivable sin!They must have felt that she forced Elliot into doing that, but the truth was that she had every intention of discussing it with him before. Unfortunately, she did not get the chance to do so.The result was the same regardless o

Avery walked out of the restaurant with Adrian and received a call at that moment.After bringing Adrian to the car and sitting down, she took out her cell phone.The call was from Mike.He had already arrived at the restaurant where she had reserved a table for them to have lunch, but she was nowhere to be seen."Mike, I'm with Adrian. I've already ordered the food, so you can get someone else to eat with you." She suppressed her grief and pretended to speak calmly."You're with Adrian?"His question, however, caused her emotions to collapse in an instant. "Elliot transferred all the shares to Adrian! All of them! He hates me, Mike, he hates me! That's why he's punishing me this way!"Mike was so startled that he breathed heavily and his mind turned blank in an instant.He finally realized why Ben and Chad hated Avery that much. It was all because Elliot made such a ridiculous decision!What Elliot did was no different from suicide!Had Mike known that Elliot would do that,

Shea's surgery, however, was the priority."Adrian, let's go to Bridgedale to see your sister!" Avery got into the driver's seat and drove the car towards the airport.She called Mrs. Cooper during the journey."I'm in a rush, Mrs. Cooper. I'm going to Bridgedale right now and I don't know when I'll be coming back.""What do you mean you don't know when? Didn't you promise Layla to bring her to Bridgedale during her summer vacation?""That plan still stands. Mike will bring her to Bridgedale," she said."Oh... What's so urgent? Layla's going to want to know when she gets home tonight.""An operation." Avery was stunned for a moment and said succinctly."Okay, I understand. Go to Bridgedale with peace of mind and don't worry about everything at home."Mrs. Cooper put down her phone and turned solemnly to Elliot who was sitting on the sofa."Master Elliot, Avery is—""Don't tell me about her," Elliot interrupted Mrs. Cooper. "She's free to go wherever she wants."Mrs. Cooper

Avery felt deeply hurt when she was asked that question."Elliot transferred all his shares to Adrian."Wesley was stunned for a moment. "It's good that they were transferred to Adrian. Adrian can just transfer it back to him.""But Henry and Cole wouldn't agree," Avery said. "Adrian is now registered under their care.""You won't be in such a headache if you treat Adrian like a normal person," Wesley said objectively. "I don't think Adrian needs them as his guardians. He can decide his fate, like how Shea decided to donate blood to Robert."Wesley's words gave Avery tremendous encouragement."Even though I have no idea what it is that I've been given, I'll be able to give it back to you." Adrian tried to digest what they said. "I'll listen to what you say. I'll only listen to you."After living with Nathan, and later Henry, Adrian came to realize that Avery treated him the best."Thank you, Adrian. Once the operation is successful, I'll make sure to consider it carefully," Ave

All sorts of news popped out!He filtered all the useless information, opened the browser, and saw his picture on the front-page news.Everything he had in the past came to an end at that moment, including everything he had with Avery.Layla had a cold and timid look the previous night when she came back and saw him at home.He wanted to be closer to his daughter, but he dared not say anything nor approach her on a whim when he saw his daughter's reaction.It was the same that morning, for all he did was watch quietly from one side as Mrs. Cooper combed Layla's hair.After the combing was over, Layla carried her schoolbag on her back and ran out of the door. She did not look at him, not even once, and did not even say a word to him. It was as if he was a beast.Robert was the only one who was oblivious to everything, for he could still laugh and say 'Daddy' when Elliot picked him up.However, Elliot was no longer 'the great Elliot Foster'.His company no longer belonged to him

As soon as Avery entered Shea's ward, she walked to the bedside and held Shea's hand."Shea, I know you're in pain right now, but you need to hang in there. We've found a compatible kidney for you, and the operation will be done soon. You'll get better after it's all over."Shea had a genuinely happy expression and she asked in a weak voice, "How did you find me?""Well, I found you some time ago. Your brother has always believed that you're still alive, so you must continue to be strong. Once the operation is over, I'll bring you to see him, okay?" Avery encouraged her."I will. Of course I will. I want to give him a surprise..." Shea was excited when she thought of that. "I haven't been this happy in a long time.""You'll have even more stuff to be happy about in the future. Hayden and Layla still remember you, and Robert is very healthy too. He knows how to say Daddy and Mommy, and he's already learning to walk too.""Were you the one who found a compatible kidney for me, Aver

"I will only believe what I see and hear." Elliot was unmoved as he listened to her cry.In the past, he would always compromise with her unconditionally as long as her eyes turned red.The present situation happened only because he was too soft-hearted and had indulged her countless whims.He had given up everything, and her plan would no longer succeed."What did you see? And what did you hear?" Avery screamed hysterically. "The reality is that whatever you saw or heard was biased! I won't break up with you! Just wait a few more days and I'll give you a proper explanation!"In the past, he might have listened to her and given her a few more days, but at that point, he was in no mood to wait even a few hours, let alone a few days."Return to the Aryadelle as soon you're done with whatever it is you're doing. Don't forget that your two children are still waiting for you," Elliot said before hanging up.Avery was disheartened when she heard the beeping sound of the ended call!I

"It's only six o'clock in the morning where your mother is. You can call her in another hour," Mrs. Cooper said reassuringly. "Your mother is out on a job and she'll come back once she finishes it.""What's going to happen with Robert and if mommy doesn't come back?" Layla felt frustrated all of a sudden.Robert immediately burst into tears.Mrs. Cooper picked Robert up and tried to check why he was crying.A car pulled up outside the courtyard.Layla saw it and went outside immediately.Mike got out of the car and came up to them."Uncle Mike!" Layla cried and ran over!Mike frowned, walked up to Layla, and picked her up. "Don't cry, Layla! What's the matter?""I miss Mommy and Daddy." She reached up to rub her eyes."Isn't your dad at home?" Mike remembered seeing Elliot when he came over the previous night.However, the two men did not speak much because Mike did not say anything to him."He's gone, and we can't reach his phone either." Layla pouted. "Mrs. Cooper said my
