Hayden did not respond to Layla's words, but a firm conviction materialized in his mind.He had to become stronger and more powerful!He had to protect his sister, his mother, and his grandmother!…On Monday, Avery met Elliot's lawyer.Once the divorce paperwork was dealt with, the lawyer said to Avery, "Miss Tate, I've prepared the contract for the building you want to purchase."Avery was taken aback, then asked, "He entrusted that to you?"The lawyer nodded, then pulled out the contract from his briefcase and said, "Please take a look. What's important is the price."Avery took the contract and looked straight at the asking price.Forty million dollars!That was the amount Elliot had first bought the building for.He would lose money if he sold Tate Tower to Avery at this price!In the span of four years, one could get a decent interest from putting forty million in a deposit account at a bank."What does he mean by this?" Avery asked in confusion."I believe Mr. Fost

Elliot was in his study at the mansion, passing some documents to Zoe. "She is physically weaker than the average woman, and she is autistic, but apart from that, there is nothing wrong with her," said Elliot. "I was hoping that her IQ would be a little higher so that she is a little more aware of the world around her." "Mr. Foster, is your sister enrolled in Angela Special Needs Academy?"Elliot replied, "Yeah.""Can I meet her?" asked Zoe. "I need to talk to her. After that, I will conduct a full medical examination." Elliot raised his head and said, "Sure."Zoe looked at the time. "Let's go!""Miss Sanford, we should discuss payment!"They had not once talked about payment after Chelsea had brought her over. Zoe smiled and said, "Let's not talk about payment yet. I won't charge you a penny if I can't cure your sister. We can talk about payment after I cure her."Elliot noted that the freest service tended to be the most expensive. He preferred that the other party st

The nanny felt awful. She nodded and said, "I will look for her!"Thirty minutes later, Elliot had parked his car at Angela Special Needs Academy. After he parked the car, he and Shea walked to the pink building where Shea was staying at. She was staying alone. She had workers tend to the chores, teach her, and take care of all her medical needs. Elliot opened the door. The room was quiet.He furrowed his brows.The nanny was informed of his arrival and rushed over."Mr. Foster! Miss Shea is missing!" Her eyes were red from crying. "We searched the entire campus, but we couldn't find her! Plus, the security footage is broken and I have no idea where did she go… My Shea… My voice is hoarse from all the yelling. She wouldn't ignore me if she heard my voice."He instantly tensed and clenched his fists!"I told her last night that you hired an amazing doctor. I said she would recover after the surgery… She asked me what the surgery was about… I shouldn't have told her. My ans

She saw the woman…She instantly lost her breath!"Avery, you're back!" Laura walked to the door. She noticed how pale her daughter was, and the harshness of her breath. Laura quickly grabbed Laura's arm. "What's wrong? Why do you look so ill?"Avery was staring at Shea as if she could see through her soul!The woman with the hime haircut and the pink puffy dress had always been on her mind!She did not expect to see her in real life!Most unexpected was that her son had brought her home!How had that happened?What was her goal?Was she there for Elliot?Avery had a headache.She could not figure out what was happening because she had divorced Elliot!She was no longer associated to Elliot!That

She had thought of all the scenarios, but never once did she imagine that her rival in love would be atypical. Was it the reason why Elliot would not mention it to her?Avery walked to the sofa in despair and sat down. She buried her face in her hands. It was hard to process."Avery, what’s wrong?" Laura sat next to her daughter and asked, "Don’t you know her? Your conversation with her was so weird."Avery said, "Mom, I have a headache right now. Please leave me alone."Laura said, "Alright. I will tidy the guest room."Avery grabbed her arm and said, "Mom, don't. She knew Elliot back then, and their relationship was unusual… I'll drive her somewhere later."Laura looked horrified.Shea also looked horrified.She was frightened when she heard the word 'Elliot'.She began crying again. She shook her head while she wailed.Laura held her hand and comforted her. She asked, "Don't be scared, do you know Elliot?"Shea shook her head vigorously.If she had not shaken her head,

"Why are you hiding here?" Elliot looked at the boy in a flat cap. There was a hint of impatience in his voice.It was the parking lot. If his driver had not seen him, the car might have reversed into this boy. The vice headmaster instantly explained, "Mr. Foster, this boy enrolled in our academy last week. He doesn't talk to strangers."All the students in the academy, irrespective of whether they were adults or children, had some form of mental impairment. Elliot softened as he thought that the boy too was atypical, like Shea.Hayden placed his notebook into his backpack. He carried his backpack with one arm and stood up coolly.He stomped on Elliot's clean leather shoes when he passed him by.Elliot was speechless.That punk had done it on purpose, right? "I'm sorry, Mr. Foster! The boy didn't mean it." The vice headmaster instantly knelt and wiped his shoes with tissue paper.Hayden turned around and glared at him.Elliot looked at him, but he could only see the lower

Shea's smile grew even wider. She did not seem to be pretending. This woman did not seem to be smarter than Layla. Avery’s hatred and prejudice toward Shea gradually dissolved.Yes, Elliot loved this woman, but the more Avery looked at her the more pity she felt for her.After dinner, Hayden walked over to Avery."Mom.""Is there something you'd like to tell me?" said Avery calmly as she looked at her beloved son. Hayden nodded and looked rather pitiful. "I pity her," he said. Pity.The word brought back a wealth of memories of the night she had left Elliot. That night, Avery had felt as if her heart had been smashed into a million pieces. She felt as if she had died that night, and it was all because of this pitiful woman. She wasn't going to tell Hayden any of it."Yes, she is a pitiful woman," replied Avery. "I can't promise you that I'll teat her illness though." Hayden looked up, "Why?""Well, she has to undergo surgery to feel better. And there's a chance she m

"Avery Tate! Are you trying to show me how successful you are now?" Elliot's voice was glacial. Avery was dumbfounded. What did he mean by 'show him how successful I am'? Then it hit her. Elliot was talking about the change in Tate Tower's price."How about the fact that you are trying to sell it to me for a mere forty million dollars?" Avery countered. "Please, I don't need your sympathy!" Elliot frowned. He realized then that their relationship had hit rock bottom. Elliot had bought the building with the intention of giving it to Avery as a gift—back when he thought they could stay together forever.He had never thought of making money with Tate Tower. The reason why he was selling it to her for forty million dollars was because there was no reason for him to give it to Avery as a gift. Moreover, she would not accept it even if he did so."Fine, we will honor the market price of the tower then!" Elliot said with anger, "You don't need my sympathy, and I don't need you
