Lilith opened her eyes wide. The light in her eyes scattered as if her soul had gone out of her body."Ten million, ten million, ten million!"She read it three times in her mind before realizing how much money it was.Ben saw her startled expression. Afraid that she would not believe it, he found the transfer record to Peter."Lilith, I'm not as stingy as you think. You keep saying that I dislike you, but I don't dislike you. Even if the two of us have never slept together...""Don't say that!" Lilith said. "Why are you giving my brother so much money? "She had planned to work hard to make money and return the one million.However now, one million had become ten million! The debt had increased considerably, and she did not know how she was going to repay such a large debt in such a short time. Ben took a deep breath. "This money is indeed not a small amount, but if it is an engagement gift for a future wife, it is not that high. You were pregnant with my child at the time. H

He felt that he was like a dog, eager to please Lilith.However, he was not angry.Instead, he felt the entire situation was interesting.Lilith's jaw dropped in shock at his remarks.Did he not understand the meaning of being a dog, or was he too thick to understand?"By the way, I didn't come here specifically to find you. If you have training tomorrow, you can go to your training and leave me alone." Ben felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he talked about something else. "Elliot sent me here.""What did Elliot ask you to do?""Some business," he said. "Can I stay here for a few days? I see Hayden's room is empty—""Don't sleep in his room. He might return in the future." Lilith got up from the sofa and took him to another room. "You can sleep in this room."Ben glanced at the room. "It's tiny.""If you dislike it, then go to a hotel. You are rich; you could just book a presidential suite," Lilith said sarcastically. "I didn't ask you to stay here.""You misu

Susan hung up and guiltily turned the phone off. Avery saw everything and asked calmly, "Why don't you answer the call?"Susan picked up the water glass in front of her and took a sip. "I'm not familiar with this person."Susan knew that Avery and Wanda were enemies. She was at a loss these days because Avery treated her well and was willing to help her.She did not need a villa and ten million as long as she could continue living.Of course, sometimes she might think that with a villa and 10 million dollars, she would not need Elliot as a son.After all, Elliot was too indifferent a person, and he would not treat her well in the future.Since the last time they met, Elliot did not even give her a call, and she could not help but contact Avery, which was the reason for this meeting."Auntie, I know this person," Avery said. "I didn't expect her to contact you so soon. She knows that you are Elliot's biological mother, so she contacted you. When was the first time she called yo

"Auntie, if it's inconvenient for you to say it, it's fine. I'm just asking casually. I'll have a word with Elliot, and I'll try to get you over for New Year's." "Avery, thank you!""These are all trivial matters. You don't have to be so polite. Elliot has a half-sister. He has not publicly recognized her yet, but he is receptive to her. Give him more time!" Avery took a credit card from her bag and handed it over. "I'll send the password to your phone later. You can spend the money inside to your heart's desire."Susan immediately rejected it."Auntie, accept it. If Wanda comes to you again, please send her away and tell her to stop harassing you. If you have any difficulties, we will solve them. After all, we are a family."Avery's words made Susan completely lower her defenses.She accepted Avery's card.In the evening, Avery returned home.She told Elliot about her meeting with Susan today."I knew Wanda wouldn't let this opportunity go. She seems to be honest on the surf

The next day, Elliot received a call from Ben who was in Bridgedale."Elliot, I asked around, but I didn't hear about Wonder Technologies appearing in the Bridgedale market!""That news has been deleted.""Oh, there is only one possibility. Wonder Technologies is listed, but the time is not ripe, so there is only gossip for now. Wanda wants her company to appear in the market. If you hadn’t been staring at her all the time, with Wanda’s skills, she would have gotten listed.""When are you coming back?" Elliot asked."Didn't I tell you last time? I'll come back after Lilith's modeling competition is over." Ben did not want to go back for the time being.His relationship with Lilith had eased a lot compared to before.He seemed to see hope in front of him."Did you not look at the calendar?" said Elliot. "Don't you spend New Year's with your parents yearly? The day of Lilith's competition happens to be New Year's Eve."Ben was stunned. "I didn't look at the calendar. I'll spend

"You can write a few more copies, and we can use them as gifts," said Avery. "Wesley invited us to eat dumplings at his house tomorrow. We could give him two copies. "Avery, are you sure that my calligraphy level is the level of gift-giving?""Of course! So long as you don't try and rival real calligraphers, you won't be viewed as an amateur."Elliot could not help but laugh.She cut the red paper while he prepared the pen and ink.Robert watched the excitement with his big eyes that were as clear as gems."Elliot, I found some couplets on the internet. Let's see how you do." After finding a few couplets, she brought her phone over and showed them to him. "I think this is pretty good..."And this one is also good." Avery read a few couplets to him. Elliot frowned slightly. "This has too many strokes.""I thought you could write anything!""I could, but maintaining style is something else entirely.""You should try. What if it looks good? Who knows?""All right." Elliot t

"Robert, don't put ink on your face." Elliot was not angry when he saw the couplet destroyed.Looking at Robert's little black hands, his clothes full of black ink stains, and his mottled little black face, Elliot furrowed his brows."I ignore you for a few minutes, and you find some ink to play with?" Avery walked up to Robert and undressed him. "How did you get the ink? I didn't see you crawling on the table!"Robert understood what his mother said and pointed his little hand to the side.On a chair next to it, there was a bottle of ink."I took it out while looking for ink, but I forgot to put it back," Elliot explained. "I don't blame my son.""Don't be too protective of him. I don't know how he unscrewed the cap." Avery took off her son's clothes and took him for a bath.Elliot looked at the mess his son had created and shook his head.He did not know if Hayden was so naughty when he was a child, but Robert was visibly much naughtier.The next day, Avery and Elliot visite

"We'll hang it on Wesley's door, then." Shea blushed. "When I marry him, his house will be mine as well."Avery pulled Shea down to sit on the couch. "Shea, you've recovered a lot from the last time I saw you. Maybe your brother will agree to you two marrying each other by next spring.""I am eighty pounds now, but Wesley said for someone my height, I'd have to reach ninety pounds or above to be normal.""Yeah, you are still too skinny right now, but you can't binge eat either or it will only hurt your body."Shea listened carefully and nodded. "Avery, I want a wedding on a grass field.""Sure! That can be romantic, too."The two started talking about all the details of the wedding. Seeing how happy they seemed, Wesley did not have the heart to interrupt them.Their relationship had barely even started, and they talked as though the wedding was right around the corner.He noticed that Hayden was sitting by himself and walked over. "Hayden, how are you getting used to being back
