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

"If there is a next life, I hope that you will never see Shea or I. We have made things difficult for you."Still no response. There was nothing left in death. All the memories, hatred, desire, and reluctance vanished when the heart fell silent. No one would force him to get married and have children in the future. No one would miss him or worry whether he was eating enough or staying warm enough, or whether his work was tiring him or not.A moment later, Cole rushed into the hospital. When he heard of his grandmother's death, he instantly lost it and sobbed! "How could Grandma die just like that! Yesterday, she was nagging me to get a girlfriend!" wailed Cole. He took Rosalie's phone. "I spoke to Grandma's nanny. She said that before Grandma fell, she was on a call, so I brought her phone over."Elliot accepted the phone with reddened eyes. He turned on the phone and pulled up the call history.On the screen, a familiar name suddenly appeared. It was as if someone had ch

Elliot's question made Avery furrow her brows.What was he talking about? He was asking her about what happened between her and his mother? That was strange! Why did he not just ask his mother? Even stranger was the fact that Rosalie had not told him her findings? More than an hour had passed, why had she not told him yet?Avery picked up her glass of water and took a sip. She forced herself to calm down."Why don't you ask your mother this question?" As Avery asked that, she started to suspect something was amiss.Something must have happened that prevented Rosalie from telling Elliot the truth."My mother is dead." Elliot's breath was heavy. He said bitterly, "You are the last person she spoke to before her death. I want to know what the two of you were talking about." Avery's hand which held the glass swayed! She felt dizzy and quickly put down the glass.She muttered, "Your mother has passed away? What happened?""Answer my question! What did the two of you talk about!

On the other end of the line, Avery heard Elliot's command. She sneered and said, "Don't trouble your bodyguard. Where are you now? I'll come right over."Elliot waited in the hospital. He was still gripping Rosalie's phone. The veins on his forehead popped. His entire body stiffened! He was determined to make Avery tell him everything his mother had said on the phone on her death bed. He would not let his mother die like that without trying to know the cause of her death. Henry cautiously walked over to Elliot and said, "Elliot, Mother is gone. Should we arrange for her funeral?"Elliot barked, "Have an autopsy done first!"He wanted to confirm if murder could be ruled out! Although his mother had high blood pressure, her recent health checkup had shown that she was considerably healthy. Her sudden fall was rather suspicious.Henry nodded. "Okay, I'll go look for the doctor."Cole was standing at his father’s side, and he supported his mother with his arms.He had to keep

Avery did not feel anything when she heard Zoe's revelation. She was Elliot's enemy. She had never held out a candle that Elliot might believe her. "Miss Sanford. Your breath stinks. Has no one ever told you that?" Avery raised her hand and covered her nose.Zoe's expression turned sinister. She wanted to yell at Avery, but she did not dare open her mouth!With a ding, the elevator stopped. Its doors slowly slid open.Avery was the first to come out of the elevator. Elliot was standing nearby, and his eyes lit up when he saw her. He strode over to her. He walked over and grabbed Avery by the arm and dragged her around the corner.Zoe saw the two of them pass her by. She remained in the same spot, looking at Avery.She saw Avery shrugging Elliot's arm off. Then, she heard Avery speak, "Your mother was the one who called me. What we talked about had nothing to do with you! Why don't you investigate your mom's death? Do you have no other solutions than trying to find fault with m
