It was early in the morning the next day. The trees in the courtyard were enveloped by a thick fog so they seemed like they were floating in the air.Avery opened the window and saw the white mist squeeze in as if it was filled with vitality.She lifted her head and looked toward the sky. A faint golden ray was subtly visible.After a while, the sun came out, and all the thick fog went away.The ceremony for the Marshall's Award was going to be held that day. Avery had a lot on her mind, so she woke up very early.She was afraid that Elliot would be woken up by her, so she waited until the sun came up before she got out of bed.At the same time, at the Jennings', Angela sat in front of the mirror and was looking at her own reflection.She would absolutely be the main character of the day. To her, this day would be the highlight of the past 16 years of her life. She has not started putting on her makeup, but she felt her reflection in the mirror was already dazzling. She was

In fact, Angela had already heard everything Dean had said on the phone earlier.When Angela was looking for investors back then, she had looked for several people.Dean was not the only one who was willing to invest in her. Other people were willing to invest in her as well. However, they were not as wealthy as Dean. That was why she had selected Dean in the end.However, the picture Dean painted had made it look like no one had valued her in the past. In order to praise himself, this man had belittled all of her efforts, as if they were dirt.It was as if she was only able to succeed because of him."Stanley. I've mentioned him to you before. He is doing better in his career than me, and his son is quite amazing as well, so he has always been ignoring me. Now that I have you, he is dying from envy. He wants to ride on my coattails now. Haha…" Dean was thinking of a plan in his mind.That was a person who once looked down on him, so he certainly would not let that person make

"We're not married yet but look at the way you're ordering me. You're already doing it with ease." Sebastian poked fun at her.Avery glared at him once again. "If you're willing to help, then do it. If you're not willing, then forget it. I don't believe that Dean could follow Angela into the washroom."Sebastian said, "Who can tell? My father has hired a few bodyguards to protect Angela. She might have a female bodyguard following her when she goes to the washroom."Avery's expression instantly stiffened."After Angela received the award, her net worth would shoot up like a rocket. If I were my father, I would be this cautious as well," Sebastian said. While he was saying that both of them arrived at the seat in the second row.Avery saw immediately that Dean was standing in the first row and was chatting with the few judges very enthusiastically."Avery, sit here!" Sebastian showed her the seat by pointing at it."Where is your father's seat?" she asked.Sebastian pointed at t

It was as if seeing Avery at a loss for words could bring great joy to her.Dean was curious about what they were talking about, so he quickly walked over and sat in between the two of them."What are you guys talking about?" said Dean as he looked toward Angela. "I saw that you were laughing so happily."Angela chuckled. "I was thinking that Avery and Sebastian are quite the match.""Haha! We have a similar sense. Also, Sebastian and Avery were classmates." Dean looked toward Avery. "Avery, how's Elliot doing nowadays? Why should you stay together with a useless man? If you're together with Sebastian, Jennings and MediLove Pharmaceutical could absolutely be more outstanding than your Dream Maker in the future!"Of course, if you were to marry Sebastian, there's no difference between what's yours and what's mine anymore. We'll be a family," Dean added. "I'm marrying Angela tomorrow. If you were to marry Sebastian, then Angela would be your mother-in-law in the future. If you want

At the hotel, the award ceremony of the Marshall's Award.When the guest announced Angela's name on stage, the spotlight was instantly on her.Under everyone's enthusiastic applause, she got up and walked up on stage."I am finally up on this stage. I finally get the award that I have been dreaming of at the age of sixty-three. I initially thought that I would never win this award in this life because the effort required and the reward obtained may not be proportional to getting this award," Angela held the microphone in one hand while holding the award in the other hand. She smiled excitedly, "But I've managed to wait for it."Below the stage, rapturous applause rang out.After the applause, Angela took a deep breath and said once more, "Here, I want to first thank my alma mater and my teacher for nurturing me. Next, I want to thank another person. That person is my fiance, Mr. Dean Jennings.Dean's smile was shown on the huge screen on stage."All the years of working, he had

"Okay then, drink! I'll accompany you drinking, but with water," Wilson picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of water.Avery picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine into a glass.After they clinked glasses, they downed their glasses.Wilson looked at Avery drinking so generously, he was afraid that she was soon going to get drunk."Miss Tate, I know why you want to drink. It must be because of Elliot, right?" Wilson picked up the wine bottle and poured her a little wine.From how full she filled her glass she would be out cold in less than three refills."What does this have to do with Elliot? All my pain was never because of him." Avery clutched the wine glass. She said croakily, "Only when I'm with him will I feel happy. My pain is because people are trying to break us apart.""It's Dean Jennings, right? That scum looks sly and hard to deal with." Wilson poured himself a cup of water, and continue drinking with her. "Miss Tate, I can't give you any good advice,

Elliot entered the bedroom and closed the door. The room smelled of alcohol, and it was coming from Avery.He walked over to the side of the bed and took her shoes off. She was lying in bed without moving, unaware of everything.He knew that she had bad alcohol tolerance, but this was the first time he had seen her dead drunk, after so many years of knowing her. How sad must she have been to drink so much wine?He sat by the side of the bed, looking at the flushed cheeks. His eyes slowly turned wet.The thing he did not want most was to become a burden for her, but at that moment, he was suffocating her. Seeing her in so much pain, his pain exceeded hers. If Angela had not brought him back to life, if he had died, then maybe she would have gotten out of her grief and not experience this torment. Not long after, the nanny made some sobering drink and knocked on the door.Elliot opened the room door."Mr. Foster, should we wake Avery up to get her to drink some of this? I'm

When she saw his face, she thought that she was hallucinating. She reached her hand out and touched his face."You're up?" Elliot said hoarsely.Hearing his voice, she was scared out of her wits."My… my head hurts. Elliot, my head hurts!" Avery slapped her own head, trying to relieve herself of the pain.Elliot immediately held her hand so that she stopped hitting herself."Elliot, when your head hurt, was it like that?" Avery gasped and furrowed her brows tightly."Why did you drink so much when you can't drink?" Elliot sighed helplessly. "Next time don't drink.""But I see other people drinking and I want to drink…" Avery rubbed her temples. She paused in every sentence. "Elliot, I think I have something to say to you… Let me think… I suddenly forgot…" Elliot looked at her drunk and suffering, and his heart broke."Slowly think, don't worry." He gripped her hand and patiently waited for her."Elliot, what did I want to say…" Avery gasped. The more she tried to remember, t
