"Mom, why do we have to buy a new house? Isn't it good here? I'm used to it." Mary was confused.Angela chuckled loudly. "I want you to stay in a better place. It's late. Go sleep!""Mom, are you planning to return to the Jennings? If you are, I can send you back."Angela shook her head. "It's late. I don't want to move. I'll give Dean a call later."…On the way back, Avery and Elliot sat in the back seat of the car while Mike drove, and Wilson sat in the front passenger seat."I never thought that Angela had remarried a second time," Wilson said, breaking the silence in the car."Angela is already sixty. Who knows if she has remarried for the second or third time? Maybe even the fourth time," Mike replied."This should be her first marriage. I heard that she had never gotten married because of what she felt for Professor Hough. Plus, her daughter is old. If she had gotten married in the past, people would have surely commented on her daughter," said Avery. "The woman doesn't
"What happened to him?" Hayden asked while glancing at Elliot from the corner of his eyes."Angela said that he had passed away. The Elliot you are seeing now is the Elliot she brought back to life." Avery told her son the truth. "I wanted to take him to the hospital to get a check-up, but he is very against going to the hospital right now. He is such a proud man. He surely would not be able to accept his current situation."Hayden had mixed feelings. "Even if he had been dead, isn't he alive right now?""He has a device in his brain that is being controlled by Angela."Hayden's lips moved. He wanted to say something but did not say it. This was too unbelievable. It was beyond the range Hayden could find acceptable.If his life was being controlled by another person, he would rather die. Hayden's mind was a mess. Elliot had become this. Of course, he would not go up against him. However, he also did not know how to face him. He turned around and entered the mansion. He quickly
"What are you saying? Why do I not understand?" Chad suspected he was mishearing things, so he reached out and slapped his face.Mike was baffled."Why is Mr. Foster no longer the one we know? Mike, if you're not going to explain it to me clearly, I'm really going to buy a ticket to Bridgedale." Chad's face hurt. He was not dreaming."Angela said that he had died. The Elliot we have right now is the Elliot that Angela brought back from the grave.""What!" Chad was stunned and bewildered."Your boss right now is like a robot. The control is even in Angela's hands. Isn't that scary?" Mike said lazily. "So, your boss is a little withdrawn right now. If I were him, I guess I won't be any better than him.""That scary?" Chad was extremely upset. "Then, what should we do? This won't work down the line. Mr. Foster hates being threatened. If he has to live under the control of another person every day, it must be torture. Is there anything Avery could do to help him?""Avery has never h
Avery left her room and pushed Mike's room door open.Mike was still chatting with Chad. When he saw her face full of tears, he hung up immediately."What happened?" Mike jumped out of bed."Angela can really take a hold of Elliot. She's asking us to take down the video of Dean's scandal.""Is he being influenced right now?" Mike looked serious. Then, he strode out of the room. He wanted to check out on Elliot."Don't go." Avery pulled him back. "He surely doesn't want anyone to see him this way. Quickly get someone to take the video down.""Okay, I'll do it right now. Don't panic." Mike's voice was calm. Avery immediately called Angela to get her to stop torturing Elliot.Angela chuckled arrogantly. "Avery, now you believe me?""Angela, I have no grudges against you. You've already gotten the Marshall's Award. You fulfilled your dream. Why are you still doing this to us?" Avery was afraid things like this would happen again in the future."Avery, you flatter yourself. How man
"Elliot, you will never have headaches like just now again in the future. Angela has promised me that she won't do that again. Other than that, I will try and free you from her control." Avery hugged his head and suppressed her sadness. "I will surely find a solution. I want to grow old with you, so you have to live until then."Elliot's eyes were open, but there was no spark in them. He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth.It was as if his soul had been taken away from him. He had not come out from the pain a moment ago.Avery hugged him tightly. She had no intention of letting him go. She was afraid that if she let him go, he would go missing.The next morning, Ben rushed over. Seeing Mike in the hall, he immediately asked, "Didn't you say that Elliot has returned? Where is he?""He is not up yet!" Mike looked at the time. "It's already nine. I'm guessing they didn't sleep last night.""Chad told me that Elliot is under Angela's control. Is that true?" Ben did not sleep much
"Elliot, are you really not planning to work?" This, without a doubt, was a huge blow to Ben.He felt that Elliot was no different from usual. Other than being slightly depressed, he could not see anything else out of the ordinary.He thought that Elliot could live a normal life and work. He was only under the control of another person."He surely can't work right now. We'll talk about the future when the time comes." Avery did not want to set any words in stone.Even if Elliot can work like in the past, his mental health was a huge problem. He might not even want to go back to work himself."Hmm, no matter what, Elliot is still alive, and this is a great thing," Ben said. He suddenly felt like drinking. "Is there wine at home?""It's early in the morning, who is going to drink with you?" Mike snapped at him. "I'm going to the office later. I'll drink with you tonight.""Okay, then! I'll go and catch up on some sleep. I didn't sleep well last night. Without seeing Elliot, I was
Mike cleared his throat and forcefully cough a few times before standing up from his chair. "I'm leaving…""I remembered! You told Avery that you're going to the office today. What office? A person like you can't possibly work for other people." Ben stood up too and pushed Mike back down into the chair. "Tell me! If you're not going to tell me, don't think about going to the office today."Mike said, "Bloody hell! What are you doing? Just because Elliot is ignoring you, so you're taking it out on me?""You're living with Avery. You two are as close as family. Now that Elliot is in Avery's hands, of course, I'll pay more attention to your situation!" Ben looked down at Mike from high up. "You better come clean. Don't make me…"Mike had a condescending look. "Don't make you do what?""I'll send a message to Chad right now to say that you're the one who founded Dream Maker," Ben threatened.Mike let out a snicker. "Have you suspected it for a long time?"Ben raised his eyebrow. "Wa
In Aryadelle, news of Elliot being found had spread home. The people in Elliot's mansion were filled with delight as if they were celebrating New Year's.Mrs. Cooper deliberately went to the market to shop. She planned to make a scrumptious feast that evening to celebrate Elliot being found."George, get Layla's teacher to come for dinner later. Ms. Kennedy is a great person. She became enemies with her family just to help us. Any other person would not have done this," Mrs. Cooper said to George.George nodded. He looked at the time, and it was almost half past four in the afternoon."I'll go to school to pick Layla up.""Okay, be careful." Mrs. Cooper saw George leave.That day, Mrs. Cooper acted on her own initiative and called Mrs. Scarlet to get Mrs. Scarlet to bring Shea over for dinner.After Shea had given birth, Mrs. Scarlet went over to the Brooks to help care for Shea and the child.She had suffered terrible depression when she found out that Elliot had gone missing.
