Avery's gaze darkened."Are you afraid I can't pay you?" she asked."Miss Tate, I'll take the file, but you don't have to pay me," The detective explained. "Mr. Foster has come to me. He has given me Ivy's photo but because I have too little information, there was no progress all this while. Now that we have your additional information, I'll look for her properly, but my team and I won't be looking for her in Aryadelle.""Why not?" Avery asked."From the information, Mr. Foster gave me. The child might have been sold to the surrounding small countries around Ylore and not a place so far away like Aryadelle.""But the lead I have gotten is that the child has been sold to someone in Aryadelle.""Can you trust the authenticity of your lead?" The detective asked."How can I be sure?" Avery furrowed her brows. "Try looking in Aryadelle! I can match Elliot's price."The detective smiled. "Miss Tate, do you know how much he is paying me?""I don't know, but I saw his net worth from t
"What's funnier is that the detective I hired told me that Avery met up with him and offered him a high price to look for Ivy." Elliot could not understand Avery's actions. "How could she use all her assets to look for Ivy?"Chad could hear that Elliot was still worried for Avery. Otherwise, he would not worry or mention Avery using up all her resources to find Ivy. "Mr. Foster, although Avery is not as rich as you, she is trying her best.""I told her that I have been getting people to look for Ivy, but she doesn't believe me. She insists on doing it herself.""Mr. Foster, you shouldn't be bothered by what she does. After all, you two are already divorced. You will live your lives without crossing each other," Chad said calmly.Elliot's expressions changed when he heard what Chad said. Previously, whenever he brought up their relationship, Chad would always find ways to set them up. His go-to excuse was that they should put up with each other for the sake of the children. Howe
After Wesley entered, he said apologetically to Avery, "Avery, Elliot is coming over."Everyone was stunned."This afternoon Kiara wanted to play with Robert, so I called Big Brother to get him to take Robert over to our place, but I forgot about it," Shea explained."I called him just now to tell him not to take Robert over, but he learned from my mother that we were here, and he said that he was almost here," Wesley said."No wonder when I went to pick Robert up, Mrs. Cooper said that Elliot had taken him out," Tammy said. "It's good that he is here. Robert will stay. He leaves.""Tammy, that isn't good, right?" Jun looked at the feast on the table. "If Elliot is here, it's just another set of cutleries. Also, he might not stay anyway. Let's show him that we are not inhospitable!"Jun finished his sentence when a black Rolls-Royce stopped outside the mansion.Soon, the bodyguard carried Robert out of the car.Wesley and Shea stood outside the door to welcome them. Elliot ente
Lilith said, "What else could it be! Someone she doesn't like has just arrived!" Although Elliot was her brother, she still disliked him. Ever since Elliot and Avery got divorced, Lilith had firmly chosen to stand by Avery's side.Shea blushed awkwardly. "I'll go check up on Avery.""Don't go," Wesley held her back. "Let Tammy do it."Shea was in an awkward position. She was close to Elliot, and she did not understand the grudges Avery and Elliot had been holding against each other for all these years.If she were to talk to Avery, it would not help one bit no matter how she tried."Mike, you go!" Tammy said to Mike. "I have something to ask Elliot."Mike wanted to stay behind to see the scene unfold, but he also did not want Avery to sulk alone in her room, so he walked over to the three adorable children and took them to Avery's room.With the children there, even if Avery was unhappy, she would not dare to show it on her face.Seeing the smile on Avery's face, Mike came out
The three children wanted water, so Avery had come over to pour them some water.Who would have thought the moment she came she would overhear what Elliot said?The moment Elliot saw her, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it was soon replaced with calm."I'll take Robert and leave," Elliot said coldly."You can leave on by yourself," Avery said without any regard for him. "Get the bodyguard to send Robert back later."Elliot, Robert, and the bodyguard came in one car. Avery got Elliot to leave first. Was she asking him to take a cab back? If he drove off with the car, how was Robert going to go back later?Elliot was emitting coldness. He pursed his lips and strode away without saying anything.Robert would not be returning home any time soon. After he reached home, he would get the driver to come and pick Robert up.After Elliot left, the atmosphere in the mansion resumed its liveliness."Avery, come here!" Tammy waved at her. "If you're not angry at him because
Tiffany held Kiara's hand and walked over to the camera, looking at Hayden on the screen.When Hayden saw the two girls suddenly appear, he could not help but soften his expression."Tiffany, Kiara, say hello." Although Hayden had never met them before, he had seen their photos, so he recognized them.Tiffany was more outgoing, so she obediently said, "Hello Hayden!""Kiara, do you know how to talk already? If you do, say hello to me, the next time I return, I'll buy you a gift!" coaxed Hayden.Tiffany pouted her lips. "I said hello to you, do I get a gift?""Of course! Anyone who says hello to me gets a gift," Hayden said. Robert, who was in Avery's arms, wanted a gift too. Although he was in Avery's arms, his eyes were fixed on Hayden."Hello, Hayden," Kiara said shyly and nervously.Although it was not loud, Hayden heard it."Kiara, you're great. I'll surely buy you a big gift!" Hayden promised and looked at Robert in Avery's arm. His expressions suddenly turned stern. "Ro
Not long after it was Hayden and Layla's birthday. Avery saw the promotion of the jewelry auction online.This auction has a set of extremely pretty jewelry for children. Avery fell for it the moment she saw it.She thought that Layla would like it, so she wanted to bid on it and give it to her daughter."Next up, we have a set of jewelry for children. This set was personally designed in the last century by the Queen of Kengo for her daughter. This set was made by the best craftsmen of that period. It has one hundred and eight diamonds in it. Whether you are bidding for your daughter or to modify it, it will be a great choice," The auctioneer introduced the set of jewelry and announced the starting price. The bidding started.Just when Avery was about to bid on it, the man sitting next to her raised his paddle. "Eight million."Avery took a deep breath. It looked like the man was determined to get it because the starting price was five million dollars. He immediately added three
Immediately after the staff member left, the auctioneer went up on stage."I'm very sorry. This set has been booked by a very important customer. It has been pulled out of the auction," said the auctioneer. The related images on the screen behind him were taken down, and pictures of the next auction item appeared on the screen."My boss is the important customer that the auctioneer mentioned. Even if you don't want to give up, you have to." Number ten had finished his mission, so he was relaxed. "No matter how rich you are, you cannot compete with my boss' connections.""Oh? Who is your boss?" Avery was a little resentful, but since the organizer had already said that they were not auctioning it off, she could do nothing about it.Except, she wanted to know who the person who bought the jewelry was."I'm sure you're familiar with Tate Industries, right?" number ten said proudly. "My boss is the boss of Tate Industries.""Natalie Jennings?" Avery asked."See, I knew my boss is fa
