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

Elliot's yells woke Robert, who had been sleeping soundly.When Robert woke up, he started crying. Elliot immediately hung up and came out of the bathroom.When Avery heard her son cry, she quickly calmed down. She was indeed too impulsive!Elliot had said that he wanted Robert to meet Hayden. Even if she did not want to help Elliot, letting Robert and Hayden meet was necessary.At that thought, she sent Hayden a message and told him that Elliot and Robert were in Bridgedale looking for him, and she told him that she hoped he could find time to meet them. The next morning, when Elliot and Robert were having breakfast, Elliot received a call from Hayden. Hayden asked him where he was. After he told Hayden where he was, he asked, "Did Avery tell you about this?""Who else?" Hayden said coldly. "I'll go look for you two now."Elliot looked at his phone in a daze. It felt like a dream. The night before, he quarreled terribly with Avery. He thought that she would not help him. He di

Then, the atmosphere turned awkward."Hayden, if you have time, you should come back to Aryadelle more often to see Layla and Robert,'' Elliot said. "When your Mommy returned to Aryadelle, I talked to her. Our attitude toward you three children is the same. We hope that you will grow up happy and not be affected by us."Hayden listened to him patiently. He said, "I am here because of Mommy and Robert. It's best you don't talk. I don't want to hear it."Elliot picked up a glass of water and took a sip. Then, he took a card out and passed it to Hayden."Take this card. The pin is your birthday. I will wire some money to you every month. Tell me if you are short of cash. Your Mommy does not have a job right now. I'm worried she might be stressed."Hayden looked at the card Elliot gave him and could not help but smile. He took the card, but he did not want to remain there any longer."If there is nothing else, I'll make a move."Elliot did not expect Hayden to accept the card. Neith

Elliot thought for a while before nodding.After lunch, the person in charge brought Elliot to the Dream Maker car factory."Mr. Foster, how long are you planning to stay here this time?" The person in charge asked."I'll be here for about two days before returning to Aryadelle." Elliot planned to take Robert around the next day before leaving."You're here this time for personal affairs, right?" The person in charge hesitated a while before saying, "If there aren't any urgent matters back in Aryadelle, do you want to stay here for a few more days? I don't know whether Miss Jennings told you or not, but we really want to work with Dream Maker. We are currently trying to contact their management. If you're here, the possibility of a deal might be even higher."Elliot raised his eyebrow. "What are we working with them on?""Miss Jennings has a good feeling about the Dream Maker. She wants to invest in the company," the person in charge said. "Because we haven't come to an agreement

"Do you think Dream Maker will accept outside investment?" Elliot said. "I don't think so.""It's hard to say. Although they have already made the car, who knows what will happen to maintenance and safety later on? If you stay for a few days, we'll arrange for a meeting with their managers. With you there, they would surely give face to you."Elliot thought about it for a while before agreeing to it.He drove the car back. He wanted to fully feel the difference between that car and an ordinary car.Driving the car was comparable to driving an ordinary car, but Elliot found that it was an easier driving experience. It would be easier to learn how to drive this car compared to the average cars on the road today.No wonder they had said the Dream Maker was going to make an ordinary car obsolete. However, since Dream Maker cars were mainly targeting the middle to upper range of the market, they would not compete with the lower-end-range ordinary cars.After the test drive, the pers

Avery took her phone out from her back. When she saw it was a foreign number, she hesitated for a while before answering the call."Hello, Miss Tate, I am the person in charge of Crystal's Auction House. I just checked our data and noticed that you were here at our auction yesterday, trying to bid for the set of jewelry for children, but due to some reason, the set of jewelry was taken off the auction. I want to explain the reason to you."Avery was Elliot's ex-wife, and the person in charge of the auction house did not want to offend her."I know the reason," Avery said. "Natalie Jennings wants that set. but she didn't dare bid with me, so she got Elliot to step in for her to get that set."When the person in charge heard what Avery said, he felt extremely awkward. "It was indeed as you described. My boss is an acquaintance of Mr. Foster's. Also, Mr. Foster personally called my boss, and my boss has to give in out of respect. But does Mr. Foster not know that you also want that se

"Robert, are you tired?" Elliot looked at Robert. He seemed a little groggy. "If you're sleepy, I'll get the bodyguard to send you back to the room."Robert was not tired, but he also did not want to continue listening to them chat, so he reached into Elliot's pocket.Elliot knew what he was looking for, so he took his phone out and passed it to Robert.When Robert got his father's phone, he obediently followed the bodyguard back to the room.Natalie said with a smile, "He is so young, yet you gave him your phone to play with, that's not good, right?""He's calling his sister," Elliot replied.After the bodyguard brought Robert back to the room, Robert skillfully unlocked Elliot's phone and found Layla's contact. He called her.Layla soon picked up."Layla! What are you doing?" said Robert in his crisp voice. When Layla heard Robert's voice, she instantly said, "Why are you not on a video call? Did you call me on your own?""Yes!" Robert obediently answered. "Daddy is still

"Layla, when your Daddy and I were in love, he had made many promises to me before, but they all became the butt of a joke later on." Avery did not want to upset Layla, but she also did not want her daughter to trust other people's words so easily and get disappointed."If there comes a time when he does lie to me, I will not let him go!" Layla puffed her cheeks up and said, "If he doesn't stick to his promise, I won't want him anymore!"Avery caressed Layla's head. "Don't think so much about this. Let's go out and have some fun." "Hmm."In Bridgedale, Elliot and Natalie arrived at the Dream Maker building to meet up with the managers of Dream Maker to discuss the collaboration.They were invited into the guest room and told to take a seat. The secretary poured them some water."Mr. Foster, Miss Jennings, I never thought that you would be so punctual. We initially wanted to tell you beforehand, but after thinking about it, we thought it would be better to tell you in person." Th
