"Okay. I'll call her at night." She suddenly thought of a question, "Were you messaging Elliot at that time?""Yes! I secretly took a picture of you and sent it to him.""What did he say?" There was a sparkle in her eyes."He said you were beautiful.""You're lying to me. He wouldn't talk like that." Avery didn't believe it at all."Then what do you think he would say when he saw your photo?" Ben asked.Avery thought for a while and said, "He probably won't say anything about my photos.""Hahahaha! You still know him. Even if he didn't say anything.""If it was before, I might be able to guess what he was thinking, but now, I can't guess it anymore." Although she couldn't guess, she didn't care much.As long as he comes back to her side, that would be enough.The two came out of the hotel, got into the same car, and went to Tate Industries together.In Ylore, Elliot brought Ruby to the banquet hosted by Edward.Today is the day Edward's grandson was born. Ruby entered the b

In Aryadelle, after Avery had dinner, she took Robert for a walk in the community.She was supposed to take Layla out for a walk, but Layla needed to go for extra classes.After the summer vacation, an exam was arranged in the school, so Layla's ranking dropped.Without waiting for Avery to talk to Layla, Layla took the initiative to ask for tutoring.She used to worry that her child would ignore learning, but she didn't expect her worries to be completely unnecessary."Boss, when you were in Ylore, you said to give me a bonus after we return." The bodyguard followed Avery and strolled, "I didn't plan to say it because your company was about to go bankrupt before? However, you have now invested in the Sterling Group..."Avery laughed, "I've been too busy these days, I forgot. Even if I'm going to go bankrupt, the bonus that should be given to you is still there."With that, she took out her mobile phone and directly transferred a large sum of money to the bodyguard.The bodygua

"I've been working out recently, but the trainer that Hayden got me is so strict! First, I must follow the meal plan she set for me. Then, she stares at me every day when I exercise to ensure I'm not slacking off. Do you know why she is so strict with me?" Lilith smiled bitterly and explained, "Because Hayden promised to give her a tenfold raise if I become famous."Avery replied, "Well, that's really a good way to compel her to take care of you.""Yeah. I didn't know Hayden had such a brilliant mind at such a young age.""Maybe he was born with it!"After the call, Avery went to find her bodyguard and Robert.She came to the fountain and saw Robert standing next to a pink kid's bicycle.The little guy grabbed the bicycle's handle with both hands, pouted, and stared at the bodyguard.Beside him stood a little girl screaming nervously at him.Yet, Robert was not afraid at all.The bodyguard then coaxed Robert, "Oh, my naughty little boy, this belongs to the little girl! Let's r

"Where are you? What are you doing? Are you free to video call now?" asked Avery.Elliot replied in a deep voice, "I'm taking a shower."She froze, then said, "Let's video call!"Avery immediately hung up the phone before Elliot could say anything and video-called him.And Elliot answered it.She was stunned when she saw him naked and standing in his bathroom.She instantly blushed and went blank, as she forgot what to say.She could not let the children see him like that, so she rushed to her bedroom with her phone.Her face turned even redder when she got into her bedroom.Avery used to be familiar with Elliot. However, she felt strange when she looked at him through her screen again."I brought Robert out for a walk just now." She paused to adjust her emotions and asked, "Why did you video call Mrs. Cooper first instead of me?"She could not help but be mad at him for no reason, although it was just a small matter."I just wanted to see Robert, and I used to call Mrs. Co

Avery was not asking but giving an order.She hung up the video call shortly after that.Elliot put the phone down, walked into the shower, and turned on the shower tap. Then, warm water slid along his hair and down his body.He was disturbed because she said she was coming to rescue him, just like how Jed's girlfriend wanted to take revenge for Jed.She did not hesitate even though she knew her effort might kill her.Elliot knew that if Jed had been alive, Jed would not have let his girlfriend risk her life to avenge his death.Elliot still remembered how Jed's girlfriend looked at him when he watched her get trampled on the ground by the bodyguard after she had attempted to assassinate Gary.Her eyes were very bright. Yet, there was no anger but only relief.Elliot decided to save her at that instance because the stubbornness in her eyes reminded him of Avery.He thought if he died in Ylore, Avery might be like Jed's girlfriend, seeking revenge on Gary for his death.Howeve
Chapter 1424
Ruby could not help but recall the last time she saw Elliot last night.She remembered telling Elliot that they would go to the hospital together to pick Gary up last night, but he did not agree.She did not know he was implicitly rejecting her suggestion.Moreover, he hardly ever looked at any part of her body, but he stared at her belly last night.He was behaving strangely, yet she did not notice the abnormality in time.Ruby supposed that Elliot might have left at night. Otherwise, his bed would not be so neat.All of a sudden, she felt like all her strength had been drawn away and she was lost.'How could you leave like that? At least say goodbye to me before you go!' she thought as her tears continuously fell.She did not know how she got downstairs.The nanny walked up to help Ruby because it seemed to her that Ruby had lost her soul."Ma'am, why are you crying? Isn't he in the room?" The nanny helped her to sit on the sofa, "I'll go up and have a look.""He's gone,"

"Ruby, don't worry, Midas Enterprises will still be yours when your father dies. We won't hurt or bully you. I kidnapped Elliot with your Uncle Ted for your good. Your dad is being hostile to Elliot now, and he will never delegate authority to Elliot again. Maybe one day he'll kill Elliot too. If you want to live happily ever after with Elliot, your father must die.""No… I can't… I can't hurt my dad… He treats me well..." Ruby cried out aloud."Your dad treats you well? Are you kidding me? Your dad has never thought of passing down the inheritance to you." Edward smiled contemptuously, "Don't think it's unbelievable that I let you kill your dad. You Dad has a brother, and you may have never heard of him. That's because your father had killed his brother, and only then did he get the Goulds' property from your grandfather and set up the Midas Enterprises."Ruby's face turned pale because she could not believe what she had heard."If you don't kill your dad, your dad may give Paul s

In the hospital, Gary lay on the bed connected to an IV. He had completed his transfusion that morning, and the doctors told him that he would have to go for a body-chek. If everything came back normal, then he could return home, and further treatment would be conducted there. After calling Ruby, Paul walked into the smoking room.Gary glanced at him. "Why isn't Ruby here yet?""Ruby said that she is waiting for the nanny to finish cooking the soup. She said that she will bring you some soup later." Paul sat down by the bed. "Maybe she is trying to get Elliot to come over.""Hmph! She texted me all that last night." Gary narrowed his eyes. "That's why I'm asking why they aren't here yet.""I see. Then maybe she isn't waiting for the soup, but she is trying to convince Elliot to come," said Paul.Gary snorted. "I'm not going to let him off easy whether he comes here or not. I trusted him, and I treated him better than I treated you. I trusted him with my whole heart, and he be
