After that, Christopher left Elliot and Ruby to their own devices."Boss, personally I think the reason your father asked for you to return was to keep Elliot's power in check. I heard that Mr. Gould had told Elliot that if he can get back his money, he would give him some of the core business to manage," said one of Christopher's lackeys. When Christopher heard what his lackey said, he gritted his teeth in frustration. "Father still doesn't trust me!""Boss, you have to relax. I'm sure that if Mr. Gould asked you to come back, it means that he doesn't trust Mr. Foster also. Even if Mr. Foster is Mr. Gould's son-in-law, he will never be a Gould. That's why there is no way that Mr. Gould would give away his life's work to him," said the lackey."If father hands over too much of the company to Elliot Foster, there's nothing I can do! What is the stubborn old man thinking?" complained Christopher.The lackey fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Boss, we have to act now, whe
Elliot decided to do it himself. Elliot opened the cover of the rubbish bin.Just as he was about to reach into the rubbish bin to take out the medicine that Avery left him, the bodyguard stopped him."Mr. Foster! I'll do it!" said the bodyguard, as he quickly took the rubbish bin and moved it elsewhere to stop Elliot from touching the dirty rubbish bin.Elliot retracted his arm and calmed himself down before saying, "There should be a bag of medicine in there. Get it out.""Oh! You mean the medicine that your ex gave you?" asked the bodyguard, who clearly did not have a clear read of the situation, but he took the bag of medicine out from the rubbish bin.Elliot was about to take the bag from the bodyguard when the bodyguard once again stopped him. "Mr. Foster, this just came out of the rubbish bin. It's unhygienic for you to just take it. Allow me to sanitize it first. I'll hand it to you afterward. After all, Gary said that you were germaphobic," said the bodyguard.Elliot sud
Avery picked up the call, and a male voice from the other end of the line that said, "Avery Tate, there's something I have to tell you."The caller was Nick.Avery sat up and said, "What is it?""Do you still want to see Elliot?" asked Nick."Of course. Are you going to help me?" asked Avery."Haha! Why are you so hard-headed? He already forgot everything about you, why can't you just forget about him?" asked Nick."How he treats me is his problem. I have to make sure to do everything in my power to make sure that I don't regret this in the future. I'm sure you didn't call me just to laugh at my predicament," said Avery."Of course not, I have better things to do than laugh at you. Ruby's birthday is coming up in a few days, the Goulds are going to throw a birthday party for her. Are you scared of the sea?" asked Nick."No? Why?" asked Avery."The party is scheduled to be held on a yacht. Gary Gould invited me, but I don't feel like going," explained Nick."I can go in your p
"Nick, I know that no matter what you say, you still care about us. Everybody has their ideal life, mine is to spend my remaining life with Elliot. Even if something were to happen to him, I won't die with him, I will find some way to save him," promised Avery."Tsk!""I might need your help by then," said Avery."Don't you dare involve me!" said Nick as he hung up the call.Avery put the phone down and laid back down.Avery should be worried about Elliot's situation after hearing all of that. But to her surprise, Avery was more worried about Elliot falling in love with Ruby.According to Nick, all men would like a woman like Ruby, beautiful, petite, and adept at making men around her happy. Avery did not know if Elliot would be able to refuse her advances.Before Avery could think of anything else, a sudden shooting pain shot through her head and she could only curl into a ball.Avery knew that her condition was worsening, she could tell that just by the rate of her headache.
Avery took the dress from her bodyguard, and after looking at the dress, she could not help but frown.Even if this wasn't something that she would normally wear, she decided that maybe she should just listen to her bodyguard's advice.Avery did not know what would make Elliot regain his past memories, she would do anything if there was even a slim chance of it working.At the same time, at Aryadale, Ben and Lilltih were sending Leon and Helen off.Both Leon and Helen were actually unwilling to leave at first. After all, Lilith was pregnant with Ben's child and they wanted to spend their time with her until she gives birth to their grandchild.However, Ben was adamant that the both of them leave.The reason he was so adamant about his parents leaving was because of how good his parents were treating Lillith, Ben was scared that Lillith might get too pampered.For example, the first day he took Lillith back to his home, his mother already brought her out shopping and paid for eve
"If you aren't here to bury your father, what are you here for?" asked Ben."You impregnated my sister, what do you think I'm here for? Don't think that just because Elliot isn't here, you can do whatever you want with our sister! You have to marry her!" said Peter, exasperated.Lilith did not understand what her brother was saying."I understand, if it's money you want, just name the price, I can give you money. As for marriage, your sister doesn't want to marry me, and neither do I want to marry your sister," said Ben.Peter was outraged when he heard this, "Lillith, are you mad? Do you not know how rich he is? If you are pregnant with his kid, why are you not marrying him? You can't find anybody that is richer than he is.""Just tell him how much money you want," replied Lilith."I think there's something wrong with your brain. I need to talk to you in private," said Peter to Ben.Ben turned around and saw how embarrassed Lillith was, his heart instantly went soft, he said to
"Why is she here?" asked Ruby.Ruby saw how gorgeously Avery was dressed and could feel her heart fill with envy.Before seeing Avery in full makeup, Ruby had never felt that Avery could compete with her in the looks department.But after seeing Avery today, Ruby could not help but feel that she seemed like a little girl next to the elegance and maturity that Avery exuded so effortlessly.Ruby was, of course, unhappy with this.Elliot did not reply to Ruby, all of his attention was on Avery."Ruby, happy birthday. This is Nick's gift," said Avery as she handed the present in hand to Ruby."Nick? Nick told you to come?" asked Ruby as she took the present from Avery."Yes, Nick told me to come in his place," replied Avery."Why do you know Nick and why did he ask you to come in his place?" questioned Ruby as she passed the present to one of the workers who was standing beside her."That is a long story, are you sure that you have the time now to listen to me tell you about it?"
Elliot could not focus on the party, so he tried to excuse himself from the guests, "I don't think I've seen Christopher, I have to go to the ballroom to see if he's there."After that, Elliot left the guests in big strides.At the same time that Elliot was turning into the ballroom, Avery was walking hurriedly out of the ballroom, and both of them walked straight into each other.The contents of Elliot's glass instantly spilled all over Avery's dress.After looking through the guests in the ballroom, Avery could not see Christopher, that was why she hurriedly walked out and straight into Elliot.Of course, Avery had no idea that Elliot actually came to the ballroom to look for her.Just as Elliot didn't know that the reason Avery was hurrying was to return back to the upper deck to make sure that nothing bad happened to him."You spilled your drink on my dress," said Avery.The waiter walked over and Elliot placed the empty glass on the waiter's tray and took the towel off of
