The message was simple. It was telling her to compensate him. Avery scowled and replied, [Not tonight.]Elliot replied swiftly once the message was sent, and she could picture the rage on his face when she read his reply. [I'm not negotiating with you, I'm commanding you.]That was his reply. She stared at each of the words in his message with composure and replied. [Have you forgotten that women get menstruation? Or are you going to do it despite the blood?[Still want to?]['Are you challenging me?] Elliot replied. Avery dared not answer his question. Naturally, she would not have the courage to actually challenge him. She feared that he might actually tell her to spend the night with him despite the blood.…On the second floor of the restaurant, Elliot set his phone down when Avery did not reply. No one dared to whisper a word when he was texting. The conversation only picked up again when he set his phone down. "Mr. Foster, that lady downstairs is the CEO of Tate

The nurse walked over to the car and handed a blood sample to Rosalie. "It went smoothly?" Rosalie accepted the vial of blood in joy. The nurse nodded. "His sister was afraid of the pain, so he did the blood test to set an example for his sister. The siblings are really close." Rosalie was only interested in Hayden. Layla did not look like Elliot at all, and she had heard that Layla was the child Avery had had with another man. Even if Hayden was Elliot's son, Rosalie did not intend on accepting Avery. How would people view Elliot if they were to accept Avery, a woman who had given birth to another man's child?She placed the vial away carefully and shut the car door. The car headed toward the medical center that performed the DNA test. Once they arrived, Rosalie handed the blood samples of Elliot and Hayden to the staff. "How long until the results are out?""Usually three working days. We will inform you as soon as the results are out," said a member of the staff. Ros

There was a beautiful invitation letter on the office desk. Avery opened the envelope and glanced at the contents of the letter. It was an invitation to a summit.Mike came. He saw her holding the invitation and said, "If you don't want to go—""I'll go," she said, before opening her purse to take out her lipstick. She began fixing her makeup.Mike exclaimed, "You are provoked, aren't you? Is that your new lipstick? It is such a bright color! You usually look quite gentle, but with that, you look like a queen. Wanda would be no match for you even if she multiplied herself by ten."Once Avery was done, she placed her powder and lipstick back in her purse and looked at Mike. "Are you coming with me?""Of course. I'll be your driver."Elites of all fields had gathered for the summit. Upon Avery's arrival, she was immediately invited backstage by the organizer. "Miss Tate, we need you to give a speech later. You'll need to speak for about twenty minutes. You might want to prepa

At the summit, Mike and Chad had been arguing for over twenty minutes, and they were both exhausted. "You are being unreasonable!" said Chad readjusting his spectacles. Mike snorted. "You lose your mind every time you mention your boss. You need to do some self-reflecting! Your boss isn't your dad, why do you claim to know him?""You are the one who needs self-reflection! Why do you care who my boss invests in? Even if he did place his money on Wanda Tate, it only means that she has that sort of value! It doesn't mean that he likes her as a person!" Chad argued. "Don't call me out for drinks from now on! If you all teaming up with Wanda Tate, then it's best we don't meet again! I'm on Avery's side!" declared Mike, severing all ties with Chad. Chad's face was flushed with frustration. "Sure! Who wants to be friends with you, anyway?"After the argument, the two went on to look for their bosses. Ten minutes had passed, and Mike could still not find Avery, so he went looking f

She pursed her lips and strode toward the door. "I don't know if it means investing in Wanda," he drawled when she was at the door, "but I gave Zoe three hundred million.""Three hundred million? He gave Zoe three hundred million?!" she thought. "Wasn't it one hundred and fifty-five million?" she blurted out. He chuckled. "So you have been keeping an eye on what has happened between Zoe and I. I did give her one hundred and fifty-five million, but I gave her another one hundred and fifty-five million the day before yesterday. She had performed surgery on Shea twice, and I'm paying her seventy-five million for each operation she performed."Avery clenched her fists. Due to the surgeries, Zoe had gotten an insane amount of money from Elliot. She had given all three hundred million to Wanda. "How ironic! This is the most ironic thing I've ever seen. Nothing is as ridiculous as this, because I was the one who did those surgeries! This means that I have just given Wanda three hund

"Mommy, the nurse told Hayden to go first because I was scared of the pain. She wanted me to see that there was nothing to it," explained Layla. "Hayden only had his blood taken for my sake. He loves me!"Avery sighed at the explanation and said, "You are both so adorable and good. Mommy loves you more and more as the days go by!""Mom, we love you too!" Layla's doe-like eyes were filled with joy. Their bodyguard stood on the side and scratched his head. "Miss Tate, should I cook?""Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"The bodyguard shook his head. "It is no problem." With that, he went into the kitchen. "Mommy, that uncle cooks really well! He is making buffalo wings for us tonight." Layla grabbed Avery's hand and mumbled, "Why didn't Uncle Mike come home with you?"Avery's brows twitched, and she said, "He is busy with something, so we didn't come home together."Elliot had turned off her phone, and Mike must have gotten extremely nervous when he could not find her. She

Zoe left Elliot's mansion and walked back to the old Foster mansion.Rosalie retired early. Henry and his wife, on the other hand, would often stay out late into the night, and Cole would either spend the entire night out or spend the entire day home. Thus, the old Foster mansion was quiet all the time.When Zoe returned to her room, she sent Cole a message. When Cole received the message, he immediately came to Zoe's room. "Zoe, our child is gone. Why are you looking for me?" Cole said coldly while standing by the door. He still could not get past the fact that she had brutally killed the child. If he had not wanted the child, then he could not care less if the child survived or died, but he wanted the child. "Do you think I didn’t want my own child? That's my own flesh and blood! But I can't have him! If the child is born, it will not end well for us!" Zoe pulled him into the room and closed the door.Cole sobered up a little. "Then, why are you looking for me?" "I'm movin

Half an hour later, Elliot received a call from his brother, Henry."Elliot! Come to the hospital now! Mother fell! She's not doing well!"Elliot gripped his phone tightly. He strode out of the office and walked toward the elevator.Chad noticed his darkened expression, and the alarm in him went off. What had happened?"Mr. Foster, do you want to push back your meetings?""Let the vice president do it. Send the meeting notes to me," Elliot said before entering his private elevator.The doors of the elevator slowly slid shut.Chad had a bad feeling. Elliot rarely looked anxious while he was in the office. At the hospital, Rosalie was pushed into the emergency room. When Elliot arrived, the emergency room door was still shut."What happened?" Elliot looked at Henry with a dark expression."I was not at home then. Cole said he heard Mother yell out, so he came out of the room to have a look, and he saw Mother rolling down the stairs."Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. "She fe
