"No!" She said, before running to the door to change her shoes. Before Isaac could respond, she left and slammed the door behind her.Meanwhile, in Elliot's mansion, Avery woke up and checked the time on her phone, only to find a message from Juliet.[President Tate, my father fell ill and I'm at the airport getting ready to go home. I don't know when I can come back. I'm sorry.]Avery read the message over a few times, before replying. [Go home and stay with your family. Don't worry about work. I will welcome you whenever you come back.]Avery set her phone down and muttered, "Elliot, I might have to hire a new assistant."Elliot walked out of the bathroom and asked, "what happened? Juliet quitted?""Her dad got sick and she went home." Avery frowned. "I have a strong feeling that she might not come back again.""Hire another one, then," he said, "if you don't want all that trouble, I will hire someone for you.""Let's see what happens after the end of this year! She might sti
"You went and became Avery's assistant. Do you have any idea how many eyes are watching you?" Mr. Sutton gritted out. "Someone found out that you are from Ylore and looked into your background, before eventually finding out that you were involved with Paul~""So what if I was?" Juliet sobbed. "Just because I knew him, I have to die as well?!""Haha! No one wants you dead, but you are definitely not going back to Aryadelle!" He roared. "I've arranged a marriage for you and you are getting married before the end of this year! If I can't keep you in check, someone will!""Dad! I don't want to get married! I won't go back to Aryadelle. I won't go anywhere. Just don't make me get married!" She pleaded."You will have to! Juliet, I'm warning you. You have brought us into this mess, so you have to fix it! Once you get married, you will no longer be a part of this family! If you cause any more trouble, your in-laws will take care of you!" Mr. Sutton said, before turning to leave.Mrs. Sut
He snatched Juliet's purse out of her hands and opened it to take her phone out, before returning the purse to her....During the weekends, Ben and Lilith's wedding was held in a hotel. They had decided to simplify the ceremony and canceled all the games they planned.Lilith was happy, because she had come to a certain realization.She had thought that she did not like children, but it was not true.When she got pregnant the first time, her situation with Ben was awkward and after everything that happened, she got rid of her own child, which had in turn left a trauma within her.After settling down with Ben, all her anxiety and depression about pregnancy and children faded, leaving nothing behind but joy.She had not anticipated this before getting pregnant. She would often fight with Ben over the smallest thing before, but she had decided to stop after she had gotten pregnant.Their child had acted as a bridge between them, strengthening their relationship and all her concern
Elliot was at the same table as them and everyone turned their attention to Lilith and Elliot at Tammy's question.Lilith took a deep breath and asked, "Elliot, can I tell them?"Avery spotted the blush on Elliot's face and said, "tell them if you want to. It's fine.""Oh..." Lilith turned back to Tammy. "He gave me a lot of money. I didn't want it, but Ben accepted them."Tammy stared at Ben in disbelief. "You don't hold back at all, huh, Ben?""We are going to be a family. Why should I?" Ben smiled at Avery and Elliot. "Right?""Of course. We are a family now," Avery said. "Marriage is like a journey. This is just the start of it. You will both have to work on your relationship and tend to it patiently from now on.""Avery, you sound so experienced. I guess it makes sense. You and Elliot have been through a lot in the past decade. Do you have any plans to write a book or something?""Have you started on your book, Tammy?" Avery asked. "How to Tame Your Husband."Tammy choked
After being locked inside the mansion for three days, Juliet had come to decided that she would obey her parents and get married."Have you really come to terms with it, Juliet?" Mrs. Sutton asked."Mom, if I can't fight my enemy, I can only give up," Juliet said calmly. "I said before that I've never meant to trouble my family. If I've done something wrong, I will accept the punishment on my own.""You haven't come to terms with it," Mrs. Sutton said. "I know you never will, because you think it's unfair. I think so as well, but there are plenty of people in Ylore who can't even make ends meet. It might be unfair, but we have to endure it.""You are right," Juliet agreed. "Is Jane back from school? It's been so long since I last saw her. I want to talk to her.""She's in her room. You can go ahead!"Juliet headed toward her younger sister's room and knocked on the door. Shortly after, the door was opened."Juliet?" Jane beamed at the sight of her older sister. "I thought they l
Juliet was freed.She had broken the chains on her in her own way.When Mrs. Sutton saw her daughter's lifeless body, she wailed and lost consciousness in that very moment.Chaos erupted inside the house, before returning to peace shortly after."It's good that she died! That ought to save me some trouble!" Mr. Sutton said coldly. "There's no need for a funeral. Do not say a word about this to outsiders. Just get her body cremated."He left his son in charge, before leaving.After Mr. Sutton left, the tears in Jane's eyes scrolled down her cheeks."Brother, can I keep Juliet's phone?" She pleaded. "I feel so horrible. She wouldn't have done this if I didn't give her that hairpin...""She will find a way to take her own life even if you didn't!" He returned to his room to retrieve Juliet's phone, before handing it to Jane. "I threw the sim card away, so you can just keep the phone!"Jane returned to her room in tears with Juliet's phone.Meanwhile, in Aryadelle.During the Ta
Elliot leaned over to listen as well."Do you know how I got into the Sterling Group? Elliot met me once and decided to hire me right away..."Isaac's voice came into their ears.Shocked, Avery handed her phone to Elliot. "It sounds like Isaac."Elliot heard Isaac's voice as well and turned up the volume."Is it because you have a great resume? Maybe because you have certain skills?" Juliet's voice appeared.Elliot turned to look at Avery. "Isn't this Juliet's voice? Your assistant is with my assistant?"Avery took her phone and dragged Elliot out of the audience stand. Once they exited the hall, they found a quiet corner and opened the audio file again."Do you know how I got into the Sterling Group? Elliot met me once and decided to hire me right away... I've done it this time!" Isaac said in the audio."Is it because you have a great resume? Maybe because you have certain skills? Isaac, can you teach me?""Not only do I have an excellent resume. I am talented as well. Why
"Can you sleep in peace not knowing what has happened?" Elliot asked. "You need to be here for the annual dinner, so go back to your seat! I will return once I have a handle on what has happened."Avery nodded. "Call Isaac and ask him out to a restaurant nearby. It's late, so don't wander too far.""Yeah. I'll go now," he said and shot his bodyguard a look.His bodyguard followed Elliot, and, once they left, Avery returned to her seat."Mom, where's Dad? Where did he go?" asked Layla, noticing that Elliot had not come back with her."Your dad needs to handle something.""What's wrong? Is it dangerous?" Layla asked worriedly."It's not dangerous. I wouldn't have let him go if it's not safe," Avery reassured her. "If all goes well, he should be back soon."As soon as Elliot walked out of the hall, he called Isaac.Not sensing the crisis awaiting him, Isaac answered the call and asked brusquely, "Do you need something, Mr. Foster?""Come out. There's something I need to talk to
