Chapter 2116
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

Hayden could feel that Elliot's gaze was bold and direct. It made him feel uneasy. His gaze was usually much more reserved,"My mom will not agree to you going out for a social function." Hayden looked at him directly, trying to stop him from going out.If his mother woke up and saw that Elliot was not home, she would surely worry."Your mother supports my work." Elliot had not expected him to say anything. He was rather surprised, but he was not going to change his mind. "Hayden, your mother has rarely called Robert and Layla, so you have to call them often.""Elliot, what are you doing? Why are you asking Hayden to do it? Can't you do it? Don't you have a phone now?" Mike found his words strange. "Did you fight with Avery? If not, why is Avery drunk? She doesn't like to drink.""Mike, go with her to the wedding tomorrow!" Elliot looked at Mike and said, "It would be safer with another person there with her."Mike was speechless."I have already eaten, you two should go and eat

Elliot ordered two bottles of red wine. He and Chad each took a bottle.From what Chad knew about Elliot, he would surely be unable to finish an entire bottle of red wine.If he downed the entire bottle, he would surely pass out cold like Avery.Chad drank a glass of wine down. With the help of alcohol, he was emboldened."Mr. Foster, when you came out of Avery's house tonight, you looked at Hayden for quite a bit. Your gaze was especially direct," Chad said what was on his mind. "It was as if you wanted to eat him whole. No wonder Hayden said something to you.""I would never dare to look at his face this way usually. I have never seen his face so clearly and in such detail before." Elliot lowered his gaze, looking at the red liquid in his glass. "But I saw it clearly today. He is starting to look a lot like me.""Yes! Hayden is just like a clone of you. Not only does he look like you, but his temper is also quite like yours. Don't think that he looks icy. He has a burning fire
Chapter 2122
At the banquet hall, Angela and Dean raised their glasses to the guests. Dean was extremely happy and in good spirits that day. However, even if he was in good spirits, after a few rounds of alcohol, his body could not take it in the end.Angela helped him to the side and looked at the time."Dean, it's almost eleven at night. Get the bodyguard to send you back to rest. We have our wedding tomorrow. You have to conserve your energy," Angela gently advised. "I'll be here with the guests a little bit longer. I'll be back latest by midnight."Dean thought of the wedding the next day. How he wished to be younger, then he would be able to stay up all night drinking, but like everyone else, he too succumbed to age. "Okay! Thank you. It's already so late yet you still have to stay here to host guests…""Dean, I'm very happy today. Much happier than you can imagine." Angela's gaze was spirited. "I promise it won't affect the wedding tomorrow."Dean saw her insistence and could only le

"Mainly because Chad is with him, so I didn't worry that much," Mike added."A social function?" Avery muttered. She was still worried, so she asked, "What social function? Where is it?""I don't know. I wanted to ask, too, but Chad won't tell me. After all, this is their work. How could they tell me." Mike shrugged. "Why don't you call Elliot and ask him?"Mike reminded her. She immediately headed back to her room."Avery, are you sober? Does your head hurt? Do you want to drink something? The nanny has made a sobering drink for you. It's in the thermos. I'll go get it for you!" Mike chased after her and said this before heading to the kitchen to get it for her.Avery quickly returned to her room and picked up her phone. She found Elliot's contact and called him.At the presidential suite of the hotel, Chad was in the living room when he heard Elliot's phone ring. He immediately went to the bedroom and picked Elliot's phone up.When he saw that it was a call from Avery, he answ
