Chapter 1877
Water trickled down Natalie's head, mixing with her tears.Her phone rang. Her senior was curious about her meeting with Billy, so he called her.Her phone was in her bag, but she had thrown her bag on the floor. Half an hour later, she came out of the shower and wrapped herself tightly with the towel.Her face was still pale, and her gaze was out of focus. She seemed to have been in shock.She walked to the living area and picked her bag up.She was extremely afraid. She wanted company, but she did not know who to call. She took her phone out of her bag and unlocked it. She immediately noticed the missed call from her senior.While hesitating, her senior called her once more. Her fingers trembled, and she accidentally answered the call."Natalie, you have finished the meeting with my boss, right? How was it? What does my boss look like? Is he nice? What did you two talk about?"Natalie's teeth chattered. After a while, she forced a few words out of her mouth. "H-He's a… pe

"Natalie, this is only what you have heard. Unless your friend can provide a clear photo and detailed information, you won't get the money."Elliot's reply woke Natalie up. "Elliot, you're mistaken. I'm not using this to get your money. I only saw how you wanted to know about him, so I told you what I know.""What you know might not be accurate. I want accurate information." Elliot rubbed the middle of his brows. "If there is nothing else, I'm hanging up. It's midnight over here. The next time you call me, can you please consider the time difference.""I'm so—" Before Natalie could finish her apology, Elliot hung up.Natalie forced back the tears in her eyes.She deserved it! She deserved it! If she had not tried to seduce Billy, she would never have been so humiliated. She held her phone tightly, walked over to the bar, and took a bottle of red wine.She would not be defeated just like that. Since she could not accept Billy's perverted demands, she was going to continue to sta

Avery quickly walked to the gate. Seeing Elliot's weary and sleep-deprived face, she furrowed her brows."Elliot, what on earth is wrong with you? It's only six. The sun isn't even up yet…" Avery felt a little lightheaded. She felt as if she had run out of breath. "Open the gate." Elliot looked at the locked gate."Tell me why are you here first." Avery looked at his reddened eyes. She suddenly thought about Layla's call the night before.At that thought, before he could answer, she opened the gate and let him in."Do you know why I'm here?" He looked at the opened gate. He took a jab at Avery. "Avery, don't you feel guilty?""Guilty of what? I have never committed any crimes or betrayed my loved ones." Avery was so furious she was trembling. She strode inside.Elliot followed her and entered as well."Miss Tate, since you're up, I'll go get you some breakfast?" The bodyguard could sense the oppressing aura around them. "What do you want to eat?"It was too early at that mome

Avery heard his explanation, and she instantly lost it."Where is the burial pit!" She choked up and stood up from the sofa.Elliot stood up too. He walked over and pushed her back down on the sofa."I have already sent someone to check it." He sat down next to her and looked at her from a close distance. "Avery, other than Ivy's matter, I'm most worried about you. I have thought about it the entire night. Why is your boyfriend like a shadow? Since you two are already together, why won't you introduce him to us?""Elliot, are you my parents? Why should I get him to meet you?" said Avery, quickly recollecting her emotions."Even if we're not family, we are considered friends, right? Are you not going to let your friends meet him?" said Elliot, compromising. "Even if you can't let us meet him, let me see his photo!""No," Avery said. "I don't like photos.""Is he a dwarf?""Elliot, this is his privacy. Why do you insist on knowing?" Avery took a deep breath. "I don't pick my boy

Avery was baffled. She quickly finished her breakfast and returned to her room to catch up on some sleep.However, she tossed around in bed and could not sleep.She thought about how Mike said that Natalie was about to meet with the so-called Billy. She wondered how it went. She found her phone and called Mike."Mike, who did you have meet Natalie? Didn't you say that she wanted to meet Billy?" Avery asked."Yes. They have already met. I'm sure she will be having a nightmare tonight. Hahaha!" Mike laughed. He stopped and said, "You don't know how fun it was! Do you want to see the surveillance?""You even recorded it!""Of course. If Natalie were to do anything dishonest in the future, I will release the tape and ruin her reputation." Mike sneered. "Don't forget that Tate Industries is still in her hands," Mike said."We gave up Tate Industries out of our own volition. No matter what Tate Industries becomes in the future, it has nothing to do with us." Avery thought about how

"Thanks to you, he now thinks I have a boyfriend with dwarfism. He came to quarrel with me early in the morning. He just left," Avery said and she got angry once more.Other than being angry at Elliot, she was angry at Mike too. Mike was too presumptuous this time. If he were to continue that way, soon Elliot would find out the true identity of the boss of Dream Maker.Hayden wanted to completely surpass Elliot's Sterling Group before revealing his identity to Elliot."No. What sort of boyfriend you look for has nothing to do with you. What is he getting so worked up about." Mike laughed. "I wondered if Natalie used the fake Billy information in exchange for Elliot's fifteen million. Haha!""Mike, you have to stop it already. Stop doing such strange things. Even if Natalie comes looking for you all in the future, just ignore her," Avery said. "I'm back in Aryadelle this time to look for Ivy, yet you created so much trouble for me. My head hurts."Mike said, "You won't be able to a

"H-How could that be? If she were to find such a boyfriend, she should just get back together with you!" Mrs. Cooper accidentally let slip what was on her mind. "Avery is such a great person. Even if he is rich, his looks should match hers. Layla really likes beautiful things, so how will she accept such a stepfather?" "What if she doesn't marry?""Then, it will be even more unbelievable. If she is only in for the relationship, then why not find someone more handsome?" Mrs. Cooper said. "Master Elliot, there must be something behind this! You can't just let Avery fall into this trap!"Elliot was speechless. He was embarrassed to say that he was kicked out of Avery's place this morning.He did want to help her, but she was not buying it.At noon, Tammy returned Avery's beloved pink car back to her. "Avery, when are you going to let us meet your boyfriend?" Tammy came over specifically to ask her this. "Won't your boyfriend miss you while you are in Aryadelle? I know that he is b

"Where is it?" Tammy looked at Avery's phone, not daring to blink. "It's just all photos of Hayden! By the way, Hayden is all grown up. He looks so tall and handsome.""Yes. He is constantly growing. He is almost as tall as me," Avery said. "He is starting to look a lot like his father.""Haha, I can see. But I think Hayden is even more handsome than Elliot. He has the best of Elliot and you.""Hayden is quite handsome, but he is a lone wolf. He doesn't mix with his classmates. I'm afraid that he might not have friends when he grows up. Look at Elliot, although he doesn't have a great character, he has friends who are quite close to him," Avery voiced her concerns."It's nothing great to have many friends. When Hayden is successful and famous, many would want to be his friend. This is nothing. I thought that you were worried about him finding a wife in the future!""It's too early to worry about this." Avery picked up the jug of water and poured herself some water. "Why didn't you
