He had lost his appetite."That's all you are eating? Wanda is going to die so just relax..." Mike consoled him."I miss my grandma," Hayden explained. "If she was still alive, both me and my mom would be much happier these past few years."You still remember your grandma? I thought you had forgotten—""Of course, I still remember my grandma. She was the person who cared most about me." Hayden remembered his childhood slightly better than Layla and could distinctly recall the unconditional love they had received from Laura.Avery was not home due to work most of the time, and it was Laura who had taken care of them.As Hayden and Layla were different from other children, they had not been sent off to kindergarten. Laura spent every day thinking about what she could cook them or how she could keep them entertained. Even when they were different, she had never seemed to have issues with that."You are luckier than me. You had your mom and your grandma. As far as I can remember, al
Chapter 1974
In Elliot's mansion, a few cars were parked outside the yard.Once Avery got out of her car, Tammy and Shea stepped out of the house.Avery's lips curled into a smile at the sight of them.She had been in a horrible mood the past few days and did not want to see anyone else, so the two had not visited.Sometimes, one's friends might know one better than their lovers."Avery, did you go see your mom?" Tammy approached her and beamed. "I heard that Wanda is dead. That's great news.""Yeah. When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?" Avery took Tammy's hand in one of hers, and Shea's hand in the other and strolled back into the house."Mike told us that Wanda is dead in the chat group so I thought you must be in a better mood now, so I asked Shea out to come and see you together." Tammy pulled Avery to the couch to take their seats.Mrs. Cooper immediately came over with a bowl of soup and handed it to Avery. "Lunch will be ready shortly.""Do you two want soup? Mrs. Cooper mak

"Avery, did you think that Jun was a great kid when he was little? According to my mother-in-law, he enjoyed fighting others when he was a kid. My parents said that I was a little princess when I was a kid..."Avery had not expected them to grow up into such different people. "My Tiffany is a combination of me and Jun, I guess! She does reason with people, but she can be a bit impatient," Tammy said while she reached for a banana and peeled it lazily. "Shea, your mother-in-law fell and hurt her back, so I don't think she can do chores anymore. You can totally send Kiara to a daycare near your place."Shea nodded. "We already did, but she cries on the way to and from daycare every single day... The teacher mentioned that she's not much of a crybaby in daycare, though.""Kids are all like that. She will get used to going there soon," Tammy consoled her."Shea, when did your mother-in-law hurt her back? Is it bad?" Avery did not have a clue that such a thing had happened."That's a

She took out her phone and saw a number from Bridgedale, so she immediately exited the room to answer the call."Am I speaking to Miss Avery Tate?""Yes. Who is this?""I am Mrs. Wanda Tate's lawyer. May I know where you are at the moment? Have you heard the news of Mrs. Tate's death?""I did. What about it?""She mentioned before her death that if she dies, it had to be you pulling the strings. I wonder if you have something to say for yourself?""How ridiculous. I don't have to be a lawyer to know that an accusation requires proof. She wanted to accuse me of murdering her, but does she have proof? Besides, she is in Bridgedale, and I'm in Aryadelle, how exactly am I supposed to kill her?""Even if you are physically in Aryadelle, you can hire someone to kill her.""If you can't provide proof that I have hired someone to kill her, then I can sue you for defamation. You have one week. If you can't provide any supporting evidence, you will be hearing from my lawyer.""Miss Tate

"Yeah. Your mom headed over there to handle something. She will be back once she's done.""Oh... She's not in any danger, though, is she?" Layla asked."Probably not. Your brother and Mike will be there in Bridgedale to take care of her once she arrives in Bridgedale.""Okay! Let's go to Ms. Kennedy's apartment to finish my homework, then! She told me that she has a meeting earlier this afternoon and will get off work a little later. She handed me her keys and told me to go to her place first."The two headed to Leah's apartment, and the bodyguard opened the door to find someone sitting on the couch.It was someone they knew.Natalie's aunt had asked her to visit Leah at her apartment to check in on her, and Natalie had not expected to see Layla and Elliot's bodyguard there.Layla turned heels without hesitation, wanting to leave as soon as she spotted Natalie, but the bodyguard stopped her.They had not ruled out the possibility that Natalie might have something to do with Ell

Layla's furious face appeared before the two of them. Her chest was heaving as she stared daggers at Natalie. "Your dad is dead! You keep saying that my dad is dead, so I'm saying the same thing to you, you witch! You are just like that old witch Wanda! Both of you are rotten to the core!"Layla decided to tell her father about how horrible a person Natalie was if he ever came home. He would then fire her and get her as far away from them as possible.Natalie had not imagined that Layla could be this vicious"Ms. Jennings, you seem pretty certain that my boss is dead. Do you know something that we don't?" The bodyguard did not give her a chance to argue and pressed on, "Or are you involved in his death?!""Bullsh*t! I just want my cousin to keep her distance from you people and I said that to convince her! How would I know if Elliot is dead?! You are unreasonable and vicious beyond bounds! If I have the ability to murder someone like Elliot, I might as well stop working for someone

"And?""My mom told me to quit my job and go home." Leah stared straight ahead. "I have to listen to them no matter how old I am and I'm a bad daughter if I disobey them.""So are you going to quit and go home?" The bodyguard was not interested in her family drama."I don't want to. If I do, they are going to force me to marry some man I don't like...""What year do they think this is? Is arranged marriage still a thing?" The bodyguard was shocked."It will always be a thing no matter what year it is." Leah smiled bitterly. "My dad is old. My brother is young and of mediocre talent. If my dad wants to secure our family's position, a marriage alliance is the only way.""Oh. I really don't get rich families' dramas.""My parents used to look down on my cousin's family because they were poor. My cousin has proven herself more than capable and is earning a lot now by running a big company like Tate Industries. My parents' views have drastically changed how they view her, and they no

"No. I don't think your dad is still in Ylore," Chad said. "If your dad is alive, we will definitely find him,""But what if he's dead? Will we not find him if he's dead?" Layla asked."Layla, if your dad is gone for good, you will need to stay strong because your mom is going to take it harder than anyone of you. Apart from your mom, you need to be there for your little brother as well." Chad did not want to say this, but words simply came flying out.Just as Layla had suggested, if they could not find Elliot after such a long search, it was possible that he was dead. They simply did not want to accept that."I say this, but I still believe with all my heart that your dad is still alive. He is a brilliant and sharp man and can always overcome any situation no matter how hard they are. I've worked alongside him for years, and I've seen him encountering troubles all the time, but he has always been able to resolve them easily."Chad meant to comfort Layla, but those words were said
