In Aryadelle, once the news of Elliot's death spread, everyone was talking about it.Eric did not tell Layla about this, but Layla overheard people talking about it when she was in the washroom.She came out of the washroom and approached Eric. She could not hide the sadness on her face."Is Daddy dead?"Eric was suddenly taken aback. He did not know how to answer this question."I heard two ladies talking about Daddy's death." Layla's were red. "Why did he die? I don't want him to die!"Eric immediately hugged her and headed to the car."Layla, we don’t know if this is true or not. The news came from abroad. Your Mommy is already going to check on this. Once we have more accurate news, I'll tell you."Layla's tears fell. "I don't want Daddy to die. Although he always fights with Mommy, he treats me well. He also treats Mommy well. If not, he would not have always given in to Mommy…""Hmm. I know he is a good man. Don't cry. What if he is fine? Let's wait for news from your Mo
"I don't even remember your brothers' mother. How could I remember yours? Stop with your delusions. When I was younger, I only played with the cheapest whores. If you're going to acknowledge someone as your mother, nothing good will come out of it. On the contrary, you will be sucked dry by your trash of a mother!"Lilith's heart turned cold when she heard what Nathan said."Everyone else has the right to hate me, except Peter and you! If it was not for me, do you think the two of you could survive up till now?" Up till that point, Nathan still thought that he did nothing wrong with his two children."Visitation time is up." The guards said and took Nathan away.Lilith looked at Nathan's slightly hunched back. Her eyes became wet involuntarily. He was no longer the proud, arrogant, intimidating man of her youth. He was old.He was not a competent father. He had never loved her as a normal father would. However, she could not deny that he had brought her up.When she said that she
"Aunt Helen, no. I never want to use the child to get his money. It was all an accident." Lilith felt like she was receiving judgment.She never had that sort of ambition."You two, a single man and woman, spending time under one roof. Of course, accidents were bound to happen. Hahaha!" Helen could not hide her delight. "You are Elliot's sister. His father and I will never treat you badly. I know you suffered a lot in the past. We will care for you like our daughter."Lilith looked at Leon and Helen's kind expression. She wanted to say something but she could not bring herself to say it.She had never felt such warmth from a parental figure. She was engrossed in the feeling and reluctant to pull herself away from it. She knew that it was not good, but she could not control herself.At Ylore, after a few tries, Ben finally found one of Gary's men."Mr. Foster has died in a car crash.""A car crash? Are you sure it was an accident and not murder?" Ben was in a fit of rage. "Get Ga
They came down from the mountain and sure enough it started to rain heavily.The skies were dark. It was only three in the afternoon, yet the skies were as dark as the skies at the end of the world.Ben looked at the rain pelting the window. His eyes turned wet.It was summer at that moment. A body would rot in less than a week. On top of that, there was such a huge storm. Forget a week, the body would surely be ruined today.Ben's phone rang and he came out from his grieving. He took his phone out and wiped away his tears.He answered the call and Avery's voice came from the other side. "Ben, where are you? Have you gotten news about Elliot? I just got off the plane. I'm coming to look for you now.""Wait for me at the airport. I'll come to pick you up." Ben quickly collected his emotions and thought about how to console her.If she knew that Elliot had an accident in the mountains and that they could not find his body, she would surely lose it.…Avery was standing at the en
At Aryadelle, Chad drove to Starry River Villa.Mike was home alone.After returning to Aryadelle that afternoon, Hayden was called away by his teacher. Mike took a nap at home and slept until the evening."Avery passed out," Chad told him the news. Mike instantly woke. "Elliot is really dead?"Chad nodded. "Ben said that he was driving up the mountain and his car fell off a cliff. They could not even find his body.""Damn. That's terrible!""Which is why Avery passed out." Chad's head hurt. "I can't believe what I'm hearing. I can't accept this.""Didn't you say that you suspect it was murder? Are you sure it's not?" Mike had almost forgotten the last time he had seen Elliot. He could not even bid Elliot farewell. What a pity! How absurd!If he had known that Elliot was going to leave the world so early, he would not have gone against him all the time."Ben said that Mr. Foster and Gary don’t have any conflict of interest. Also, Mr. Foster doesn't have anything to do with S
Hayden looked at Chad and asked astutely, "Is Elliot dead?" Chad's words were stuck in his throat. He said, "Hayden, as the eldest son of the family, this is the time you need to care for Layla, because your mother—""What happened to Mommy?" Hayden furrowed his brows."Your mother has passed out. I'm afraid her suffering will truly start when she wakes up."Hayden instantly lowered his gaze. He could not hide the sadness in his eyes.Chad looked at him carrying his bag, slowly returning to his room. Sadness overwhelmed him.How he hoped that he could do something to lessen the suffering of this nightmare.However, calming down, he realized that he had problems of his own. Chad continued working at Sterling Group even after Elliot had given up his shares. To him, it was as though Elliot had never left the company.He believed that Elliot would return soon. He never would have thought that this would happen.He did not know if he could bring himself to return to Sterling Group
Ben clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He did not know how to persuade Avery to abandon her plan."Elliot is a living person! He isn't the wind or the rain! Before I find his body, don't ever say that he is dead! What if he is still in a corner, waiting for rescue? Do you dare to say that there isn't this possibility?" Avery said emotionally. Her eyes reddened.Ben cried at her questions. "I never thought of giving him up! Avery, I'll bring you to the scene of the accident! I just think that it's going to be hard—""Even if it's hard, I have to look for him!" Avery's eyes were filled with determination. Her tone was firm. "Even if I have to search every inch of the forest, even if I have to move the mountain, I have to find him!"…Gary was in a luxurious European-styled mansion.One of Gary's men quickly ran in. "Boss, Avery, and Ben went up to the mountain. They are not afraid of death! It's still raining outside! I'm afraid before Elliot has an accident there, t
Avery was imagining Elliot lying among rocks without any water or food, covered in injuries, yet he could not be rescued.The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she got.Tears kept falling, wetting parts of her hair.A long time later, she groggily fell asleep.In the middle of the night, a huge wind blew by! Avery was woken up by a nightmare. When she got up. She saw the curtains slapping against the wall. Thankfully she did not switch off the lights in the room, if not she would have been frightened by the terrifying sounds.She quickly walked over to the window and was about to shut it when she saw that the rain outside had stopped.The rain had stopped. She wondered how Elliot was doing.She felt as if she had gone mad. She headed to the door. She wanted to look for him right at that moment! She had to go up the mountain to look for him! "What if he is still alive? What if I manage to find him?" thought Avery. She remembered Charlie Tierney had hosted an eve
