Elliot replied.She lifted her phone and spotted Elliot's reply, before shoving it into Jun's face."Elliot ignored you but he replied to my message. This means you simply can't be too compromising with him!" Tammy said and pressed her phone's video call button.Elliot had responded with a message that contained two question marks."If he saw my message and replied, it means he is going to answer my call as well, right?" Tammy thought to herself.Jun gaped at Tammy's action and was going to snatch her phone from her once Elliot answered to apologize, but Tammy was far too swift.As soon as Elliot answered the call, she immediately opened the car door and got out.Unable to stop her, Jun remained inside the car and waited. He reached into his pocket, hoping to find a cigarette, only to remember that he had quit smoking since the birth of his daughter.Within five minutes, Tammy got back into the car.Jun studied her face and asked, "Why are you so calm? You two didn't fight?"

"You are the only one she has left. I'm just worried that your dad would do whatever he can to make you go with him." Tammy could not help but worry that Avery would eventually be left with nothing. If she was Avery at the moment, she would not have survived the devastation."I'm a Tate, not a Foster. I will never acknowledge him as my father." A proud, icy expression filled his face. "If my mom decides to sell her company, I will just make money for her to spend.""I feel assured so long as you remain by your mom's side." Tammy sighed a breath of relief. "Remember to keep in touch with your brother and sister. They might be too young to understand your mom's situation.""Layla calls Mom every two days," Hayden said."I feel even more assured now! Your mom's love is certainly not wasted on either of you."In the dining room, Jun noticed that Tammy had been inside the room with Hayden for too long and shouted, "Tammy, even if you aren't hungry, Hayden is definitely hungry! Why are

"I have no plans of returning to Aryadelle for the time being." Avery placed some food on Hayden's plate."Oh, then get Layla to come to Bridgedale and visit you during her winter break." Tammy understood Avery's unwillingness to return."I'm only afraid that Elliot won't let her." Elliot's name felt a little awkward in her mouth. Perhaps because their relationship was extremely terrible at that moment, which made her wonder whether they had truly been in love before or not.However, she rarely thought of him anymore. It was not like before when they broke up; her heart would hurt thinking about him. At that moment, other than rarely thinking about him, she did not feel too sad either.As long as Hayden was by her side and she could occasionally see Layla and Robert, it was enough for her. This was the most that she could fight for already."Mommy, once Layla has her winter break, I'll pick her up and bring her over," Hayden said.Elliot did not let Avery get close to Layla, was

Layla's teacher taught literature. When she saw Layla's essay, she did not dare give any marks. If she were to give a mark, would that not be a jab at Elliot?This was why Layla did not pass the essay this time— an unprecedented case."Can you show me her test papers?" Elliot's blood was boiling, but he still wanted to see what his daughter wrote."Come with me." Layla's teacher took Elliot to the teachers' offices. "Other than literature, she did not do well in the other subjects too.""Show me all her test papers.""Okay."When they reached the teachers' offices, Layla's teacher took all her test papers and passed them to Elliot."The questions on the test had been taught in class. Even if some questions might be a little tough, there is no reason to leave it so blank." Her teacher passed Elliot the math quiz. "She even made some mistakes on the simple ones."The worst subject was foreign languages. She always used to get full marks on her foreign language paper because she g

Elliot left the dining hall.When Layla saw his hardened expression, her heart started beating faster. She was not used to him being suddenly so serious."Layla, perhaps your Daddy is looking for you to talk about your Mommy," Mrs. Cooper said to Layla when she saw Layla standing there not moving.Layla pouted and grumbled softly, "I don't think so!"From Elliot's expression, she could roughly guess that it was because of her test results.Since she did that already, she should have been mentally prepared. If Elliot dared to scold her or hit her, she would run away from home immediately and head to Bridgedale to look for her Mommy and Hayden.In Elliot's study, Elliot waited for Layla to enter before closing the door."Why are you closing the door? Open it." Layla looked at the door and sternly commanded.Elliot could only leave the door open.To the public, he was the high and mighty President of the Sterling Group. No one dared to disrespect him. However, at home, he had to

It was a call from Natalie.Natalie had been traveling back and forth between Aryadelle and Bridgedale recently. She had been working very hard to bring down Avery's Alpha Technologies.If Elliot had a huge grudge against Avery, he would surely reward her.Elliot looked at the name on his phone coldly. He hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call."Mr. Foster, the new company in Bridgedale has been successfully set up. We predict that we will officially be able to start next week. Will you attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony?" Natalie asked.Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. He did not want to go to Bridgedale anymore for the time being.More accurately, he did not want to go to Bridgedale unless it was absolutely necessary."Mr. Foster, we have invited many politicians and business partners to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. If you could come—"Elliot interrupted her. "Call Ben and ask if he is free." He hung up.Natalie did not expect that Elliot would not ca

At Bridgedale, a new day arrived. The sun rose.Avery got up and walked over to the windows to pull the curtains apart. The bright sun outside put her in a good mood. She could not help but open the windows. A piercing cold breeze instantly blew in. Her good mood that the sun brought instantly vanished.She closed the window, walked over to the side of her bed, and picked up her phone. She looked at the time.Mrs. Cooper's message instantly appeared before her eyes.[Avery, I hope you're doing well. Layla said that you're doing well. I hope that that is true. Layla and Master Elliot fought today. Layla misses you very much, and she deliberately flunked her exams, hoping that she could use that to threaten him into allowing you to return, or allow her to stay by your side. It did not work.[Master Elliot did not criticize Layla, but she cried terribly. I know that you have always prioritized Layla's education. I hope that you could privately persuade her. At the same time, don't te

Elliot knew that Layla had been secretly calling Avery. Layla did not contact Avery in front of him, so he could not directly interfere with it too. As long as Layla was by his side, he did not care about the other things.However, at that moment, when he heard Robert loudly calling Mommy, his heart hammered wildly in his chest.He stood up from his chair unable to control himself!…When Avery saw Robert on the call, she could no longer talk to Layla about her studies. She also noticed how Robert was a little distant, and she felt bad. She wanted to push herself through the screen to give them a hug, but that was delusional thinking.She had only been apart from Robert for half a year and already Robert was a little distant. If she were to be apart from him for a longer period, would Robert treat her like Layla treated Elliot?After talking for about twenty minutes or so, Robert became irritable. He started annoying Layla, so Avery hung up.Coming out of her bedroom, she went t
