"Besides, my dad will be looking for Mary as well. He won't stop," Sebastian said. "Come to think of it, Angela had it all planned out right from the beginning! She has been weaving this gigantic web this whole time! She had known my dad for years, and still, she had never allowed us to meet Mary."Avery listened to him seriously while trying to figure out a way to find Mary."None of us know what she looks like, so it's difficult to find her. My dad has never paid much attention to Mary because she was adopted. Judging from the current situation, I think Angela had handed everything she had over to Mary." Sebastian came to a sudden realization. "My dad thought he outsmarted everyone, but he had lost to Angela right from the start.""Sebastian, let me know right away if your dad finds Mary." Avery paused for a moment, before continuing, "I didn't expect Angela to end her life like that. She didn't give anyone a chance to react.""You are panicking, aren't you? Now that Angela is de

"I'll go home at night." He did not want to end their relationship; he simply did not want to spend all day under her supervision as though he would not survive without her protection. It felt horrible, and he would rather die on the streets than live like this."Alright... As long as you are willing to come home. But no more drinking or getting drunk," Avery said. "I won't drink again as well.""Go!" Elliot set the glass of milk down. "I want to rest."Avery hesitated for a moment, before turning to leave.Chad was surprised to see Avery coming out this quickly. "Avery, Mr. Foster...""He said he wants to rest." She looked at Chad and said, "He's mad at me. I can't blame him because I did break our promise. Chad, keep an eye on him. He said he will come home at night, so please help send him back."Chad nodded. "I don't know what happened between you two, but make sure you talk it out.""Angela is dead, and it's over now." Avery did not want to discuss this any further. "I'll b

Sebastian stared at the trembling wrinkles on Dean's face and asked, "Dad, did Aunt Angela really not say anything to you before she died?""Nothing at all! Do you really think I would let the wedding go on if she had told me about this? I can't take the humiliation!" Dean's blood pressure was about to rise again."Don't get mad, Dad. Angela is already dead. You need to take care of yourself," Sebastian said. "Just stay in the hospital until you recover. I've sent someone over to the wedding venue to take care of things. We will just treat it as your birthday celebration for this year.""Sebastian, are you laughing at me?" Dean forcefully suppressed his anger. He had always been proud, and he knew just how discomfited he looked more than anyone. He did not want anyone to see him like this."Why would I laugh at you, Dad? I am a member of the Jennings family, and I wish for nothing more but for our family to grow more powerful, just like you.""Hahaha! Angela had a sweet tongue, to

After Avery got into the car, Wilson did not bother asking where she wanted to go and sent her home straight away."Miss Tate, you look so tired. You should rest at home!"Avery touched her face and mumbled, "It's all happening too fast. I've never expected things to turn out this way. It's just strange, but I can't seem to put my finger on which part of it didn't make sense.""It is strange. I have been checking the news and all the netizens have gone crazy over this." Wilson glanced at the clock and said, "You should go take a nap. You said that Elliot will be home at night, right? When he comes home, you two will have to have a long talk and you can't talk to him if you are exhausted.""Do you think I was wrong, Wilson?" she asked."No, you are not, Miss Tate, but neither is Elliot. Fate just loves to torture people is all," Wilson consoled her. "If I know that you are at fault here, Elliot should know that as well."Avery felt the urge to chuckle at the clumsy consolation.I

"Hayden! How could you say something like that to your dad?!" Avery's blood ran cold, stricken by the shock that her son would say such a thing to Elliot."I don't want someone like this to be my father!" Hayden shouted. "You've never given up on him, so what gave him the right to give up? What else can he do apart from causing you trouble?! He's a good-for-nothing!"Slap!Unable to contain her rage, Avery slapped Hayden on the face.It was the first time she had ever hit her children. Her palm felt numb, and her heart twitched with pain.Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw the look of disbelief on Hayden's face.She wanted to apologize right away, but Hayden beat her to it and turned to run away."Hayden!" Avery wanted to go after her, but the nanny came and stopped her."Avery, you've just slapped him. He probably hates you for it right now. Just let the bodyguard go after him," the nanny said. "Hayden is your son. He won't be mad at you for long. It'll be fine once he fig

"You don't understand me enough. I can bear with the suffering, but I can't let you marry some other guy for my sake. Never," he said in a determined tone. "If something like that happens again, I will still do something that disappoints you two.""I get it. I won't do it again.""Eat! We can talk after you finish your dinner."Avery had no appetite, but because Elliot was staring at her, she had to force the food down.She came to realize how Elliot must have felt from her forcing her will on him recently after finishing her dinner."Let's go out for a walk!" she suggested."Okay.""It's a bit cold outside. I'll go grab the jacket." She glanced at the sky outside, before going to take two thick jackets.She handed Elliot his jacket and put on her own.The two stepped out of the house and strolled toward the center of the residential area."I went to the hospital to look at Angela's body earlier today." She grabbed onto his hand and felt how hot his palm was. "Dean's men were

"If you call her now, she might just run away," Elliot joked.Chad could not help but chuckle. "You know her well.""If I still don't know her despite everything that has happened, I would be a fool.""What are you going to do, Mr. Foster? Dean has lost Angela and poses no threat to you, so we don't have to hold back.""I won't go easy on him, of course." The look in Elliot's eyes darkened. "Even if he is still a threat to me, I'm not afraid of him. I'd rather handle all these people before I die instead of just surviving."Chad frowned; his heart dropped from the word 'die'. "I thought Avery talked to you last night.""I talked to her, and she promised to not do anything that will enrage me again," Elliot said casually. "I will give her another chance."Chad had thought that Avery would lecture Elliot so that he would not throw away his life, but to his surprise, it was Avery who was lectured.In the mansion, Avery was supposed to meet with the five experts she had hired befor

"Alright. Go to work!""Yeah." Avery grabbed her purse and jacket and headed out.The temperature in Bridgedale had dropped drastically as though they had skipped autumn and went straight into winter.She went into the car and gave Wilson the address of her destination."Miss Tate, have you made peace with Hayden?""Not yet. I was out of line and if I was him, I would still be mad as well," Avery said casually. "He likes chestnuts so let's buy some on our way back in the evening.""Yeah. Last night, he was the one who said he wanted to go to the drug store," Wilson said. "I didn't realize it last night but after thinking about it, I realized that he went to the drug store not because his cheek hurt, but because he didn't want you to feel overly guilty if it gets swollen."Avery felt even worse when Wilson said."Miss Tate, I know you didn't mean to hit him. It's just too hard for you to be stuck between Elliot and Hayden. No one on earth can handle their career and family affai
