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

Zoe cried loudly. "Avery! I have never seen such a shameless woman like you! You twist facts and blame it on me! You said that I did it. Why would I be so crazy to do that!""Yes! You are crazy!" Avery calmly looked at Zoe, who was still putting on a show. "You don't have to be smug. Your act will be exposed one day.""What act! Avery! Tell me! What act?!" Zoe pounced on Avery. Avery swerved toward Elliot and avoided Zoe. She did not want to fight with a lunatic nor get her hands dirty.Elliot gave her a cold glance and blocked Zoe."Zoe, you're in the hospital!" he reminded her. "I still have unfinished business with her. You will set aside your feud!" Then, he grabbed Avery's arm and headed to the elevator! Zoe watched them leave, and she immediately stopped crying! Although it was all an act, she had really wanted to hit Avery. Cole silently walked over and growled, "Zoe, I think you and I are not a match. I can't keep up with your viciousness."Zoe looked around and saw

The black Rolls-Royce did not stop till they were out of the city. The cars on the road were few.Avery sat in the backseat, closing her eyes.After a long time, the car finally stopped. She opened her eyes and looked outside. She only saw a dense forest. It was foreign to her.She was confused. Where was she? Why did Elliot bring her there?"Where is this?" She looked up and asked Elliot."One of my holiday villas." He pushed the car door open and got down.Holiday villa? Elliot had definitely not brought her here for a holiday. Avery got down and followed him. They walked toward the mansion.The mansion was in a classic gothic-styled building. The ash green building in the middle of the forest was eerie. Avery felt as if she was not walking into a holiday villa but a prison.She turned around and saw Elliot's bodyguard following closely behind. At that moment, she was truly a sitting duck.After entering the mansion, the open area made her furrow her brows. The decor was d
