"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

"I headed out as soon as you called me." Ruby readjusted herself and stepped into the room with the thermal lunch box. "Dad, I've come to see you."Gary hummed in response. He looked awkward. He wondered if she had heard anything he had said."Didn't you say that you are coming with Elliot? Why isn't he here?" Gary was slightly upset when he saw that she had come alone. "He had a bit too much to drink last night, and he came down with a fever. He wanted to visit you, but I didn't want you to catch his fever, so I told him to stay at home and rest," Ruby explained as she opened the lunchbox. "I prepared your favorite mushroom soup today. Let me pour it into a bowl for you.""I ate too much for breakfast, so I can't really stomach the soup right now," Gary said.Disappointment filled Ruby's face as she closed the lid. Seeing that she was disappointed, he immediately said, "Let me drink just a bit, then!"Ruby's heart began to race, and color filled her cheeks. Her fingers on the l

Gary finished the bowl of soup and lay down. His eyes closed shortly after."You can go out now! I want to spend some time alone with my dad," said Ruby to Paul.Paul and the nanny immediately exited the room.As soon as the door closed, tears streamed down Ruby's face.She had poisoned her own father, and now, he was dead.She had yet to come to a decision on her way to the hospital. She could have still chosen not to serve her father the soup, but when she had heard what he said, she finally found her motivation. Her father saw her as useless, and who would be willing to admit that they were a fool who could not do anything, right?If that was her father's opinion of her, then there was no need for her to be soft-hearted any longer.When Edward received the call from Ruby saying that Gary had died, he burst out laughing."Ruby, I knew you could do it! Just wait, I will send Elliot to you," said Edward before he hung up."Elliot, did you hear that? Ruby has killed Gary!" Ed

"Then kill me first!" Ruby prevented him from leaving. "Paul, I was the one who did the deed! You saw me feeding my dad the poison…""You stupid woman! You are beyond saving!" Paul shouted.Ruby broke down in tears. "Paul... Brother... I'm sorry... I should have talked to you about this first...""Don't call me your brother! You've really lost your mind this time! How did Father end up with a traitor for a daughter?!" Paul said contemptuously.It was the first time Paul had raised his voice against her. All her strength fled her legs, and she fell. "I'm the one who did this... Just blame it on me if you want to... Don't blame Elliot...""You are still speaking for him?! What spell has he put you under? Ruby, don't you know that he will instantly return to Aryadelle? Are you really that stupid, or are you just avoiding reality? If only Father hadn't stopped him, he would have been long gone! Do you really think that he is going to stay with you now that Father is dead? He doesn't
