Chapter 1909
"Hmm, we've just reached." Elliot took a bottle of water, twisted the cap off, and passed it to Avery.Avery accepted the bottle and drank some water."Do you want to eat something?" Elliot took the desserts he brought over and passed them to her. "I'm afraid you might not be able to eat anything tonight."Avery shook her head, pushed open the car door, and got out of the car.After getting out of the car, she walked forward a little while before seeing the tape all around. Beyond the tape, there were many people busy at work.The pit was in the old cellar of a dilapidated brick house. The cellar had originally been used to store food. No one had expected the crime organization to use it as a burial pit!The brick house was dilapidated with tall weeds obscuring it. On the ground, there were many skeletons. Some were complete and others were not. Avery stood by the cordon tape, looking at the scene in front of her. Her eyes could not help but turn wet.She thought of how Ivy wo

During dinner, the bodyguard came to knock on the door.Elliot opened the door."Mr. Foster, do you want to have dinner now or later? Do you want to go to the restaurant to eat or order room service?" The bodyguard asked."Why don't you all go ahead and eat first!" Elliot said.Avery's bodyguard stood by the door and looked inside. "Where is Miss Tate?""She has locked herself in her room." Elliot had wanted to enter her room a few times to look for her, but he did not dare to do so.When her bodyguard heard that, he immediately entered the presidential suite. "How could she not eat! No one said that Ivy is dead! What is she doing!"The bodyguard entered and realized that the suite was like a maze. There were too many rooms. He did not know which room Avery was in.Elliot's bodyguard had wanted to drag Avery's bodyguard out of the room. He could not believe the man had entered the suit without Elliot's permission. However, Elliot gave him a look, asking him to not move.At t

The good thing that had come out of that was that their sacrifice had paid off. After Natalie graduated, every job she got was better than the last. Her salary had gradually increased from a normal person's salary to an exorbitant one.Then, she became the executive of Tate Industries. On top of her salary, she even got a huge annual bonus. Leah's father was in business. Their family had always done well. It was just too bad that Leah did not have a head for business. She had always wanted to become a teacher, but a teacher's salary could not compete with that of an executive's. Leah was not envious of Natalie earning more than her. She was just curious about Natalie's capabilities."I can get you out. It's just about spending money," Natalie said. "I also spent quite some money contacting you. The main issue now is not about money. It is also not about whether I can get you out. Since I found a way of contacting you, I'm sure I can help you leave Ylore…"The voice on the othe

Leah cleared her throat and said, "Natalie, I'm a little thirsty. Do you have any water here?"Natalie immediately went to get her some water."I only drink bottled water." Natalie passed a bottle to her. "I usually boil it before drinking, but it's fine to drink it directly too.""Oh. Natalie, you're so sophisticated." Leah looked at the brand of the water bottle. It was a high-end brand."I just like the taste of this water better. My skincare products are cheap, but that's also because I'm used to them, so I have never changed them," Natalie said pleasantly. "Drink up.""Oh…" Leah twisted open the cap of the water bottle, drank some water, and calmed down a little. "Natalie, I only heard a little. When I took the sip of water, I forgot everything. Perhaps because what I heard was nothing worth remembering…"Natalie closely observed her cousin's face, trying to determine the truth of her words."Natalie, I'm a little scared of you looking at me like that. Were you on an import

"Hmm. They seemed to have passed away when you were young.""My grandfather passed away when I was four. My grandmother was grief-stricken when my grandfather passed away. She was in so much pain and grief it caused all sorts of chronic diseases to flare up in her body. She died painfully in the end." Avery's eyes turned wet when she said that. "Before they died, they were still protecting our family, so we weren't in such a tough spot. After they left, Wanda started getting brazen.""How did your grandfather die?" Elliot looked at Avery's eyes, heartbroken.Seeing the tears in her eyes, his hand reached out reflexively. Avery pushed his hand away and wiped her tears. "My grandfather suddenly fell and hurt his brain. He could not be resuscitated. I remembered it clearly. Back then, my father brought me to the hospital to see my grandfather one last time. I wanted so badly to treat him and keep him with me so that he would look after me.""Avery, don't be sad. Your grandparents ar

Avery was speechless. She almost choked on his words."What?" He looked at her seriously. "Didn't you say Hayden's spending a lot now? How much pocket money do you give him every month? Why don't I give you some money and you transfer it to him?"Avery shook her head. After pressing the button on her room floor, she secretly swallowed."Elliot, you don't have to worry about my life and Hayden's.""I know you have money. You're usually quite thrifty. The money you got from selling the company should be enough to see you through your entire life. And you can take on some surgical cases and earn even more money." Then, Elliot changed the topic. "As for Hayden, as long as he wants to get money, he will be able to get it, but…"Avery looked up at him. She wanted to know what he wanted to say."Avery, you returned to Aryadelle to look for Ivy, leaving Hayden alone in Bridgedale, that isn't goood. Hayden is at an age where he is going through a rebellious phase, like most teenagers. Wi
Chapter 1915
Elliot's attitude had boosted Avery's confident on her judgement. However, there was still a chance that she might get it wrong.Just like how she had misjudged him in the past.If he dared to barge in without knocking, she would move out and stay in the room next to her bodyguard.About half an hour later, she finished her shower and then made a video call to Hayden.After Hayden accepted the call, the three siblings' faces appeared on her screen. Looking at the sweet scene of her three children together, Avery could not help but cry.This was the first time the three children had gotten together after Robert was a little older. She thought herself to be an incompetent mother. She should have allowed them to meet more often. Even if she had divorced Elliot, she should have found a way to get them together every year."Robert, did you greet Hayden?" Avery laughed and cried at the same time. Robert was a little helpless, not knowing what to do."He did!" Layla answered for him. "

Avery sighed a little. She wanted to explain the situation to Layla, but Elliot spoke instead."Layla, your Mommy doesn't want to stay in the same room with me, but I insisted on her staying with me because the security isn't great here. I'm afraid that your Mommy might be in danger…""I think you're the biggest danger there." Layla did not give Elliot any face.Elliot instantly blushed. He could sense the change in his daughter. When Layla was not with Hayden, she would not be so merciless.Avery could not help but smile. She walked over to the sofa and sat down."What are you all doing?""We're just… having fun!" Layla took the phone and changed the camera to the back camera. Mike and Chad appeared on screen.They were sitting together at a side, talking amongst themselves.Layla had changed the camera to face them, but they still had not noticed."Chad, thank you for taking Robert and Layla to Bridgedale. Did they cause you any trouble on the way there?" Avery said politely
