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

The necklace looked very familiar. It was the necklace from the set of jewelry that Avery had planned to buy for her, but Natalie snatched it away."Only the necklace?" said Layla, looking at Natalie. "Aunt Natalie, why are you hiding the bracelet? Or have you given it to some other child?"Natalie's face flushed red. How did Layla know about the matching bracelet? Did she guess?Elliot saw how impolite Layla was, and he immediately said, "Layla, you—""Elliot Foster, shut your mouth up!" Layla furrowed her brows and yelled at Elliot.Natalie was shocked. Even Mrs. Cooper was shocked.Layla calling Elliot by his name was already very rude. How dare she lose her temper at him!This was the first time that Elliot had been yelled at by his daughter in front of someone else. He was in a daze."Layla, you shouldn't talk to your Daddy like that. I do indeed have the bracelet. I wanted to give it to you next time. Since you like it, I'll go get it for you right now." Natalie wanted to

Layla said that he made Avery feel aggrieved. If what Layla said was true, then Avery truly did resent him, despite him not knowing that she had wanted to purchase the set.She answered the call in a matter of seconds."Hello," said Avery in a calm voice."A week ago, you cursed me to death, was it because I helped Natalie buy the set of jewelry that you wanted?" Elliot asked. "Layla told me everything just now."Avery was stunned. She had already told Layla not to tell him. She had not expected Layla to tell him anyways."Yes, are you going to laugh at me for being childish?" Avery retorted."I'm sorry," he said after hearing her answer. "I didn't know that you wanted the same set of jewelry. Natalie didn't tell me about it.""Don't blame Natalie. She wasn't there that time. She didn't know that I was the one bidding against her assistant."Elliot wanted to explain to her that Natalie rarely asked him for help, which was why he helped her that time. However, he felt that eve

Avery blushed. "Mommy was worried about you! But I see that you're happy now.""Because I have chased away the person I hate! She will never come to our house again!" Layla pulled Avery into the living area.Elliot stood in the living area, looking at mother and daughter.Layla smiled as if the unpleasantness had not happened. He had already called Natalie and told her not to come in the future, and he got the driver to return the necklace to her. Natalie had apologized to him and told him that she had not known that Avery was there at the auction. Elliot believed that she was not lying, but he was feeling sorry for Layla and Avery."Avery, you even bought a cake?" Mrs. Cooper saw Avery and said passionately, "Why don't you stay for dinner? Treat it as a pre-birthday celebration for Layla!""Mommy, if you have nothing to do today, stay and spend time with me!" Layla said coquettishly. "We'll go fetch Robert later.""Where did Robert go?" Avery asked."He went to Aunt Shea's.
