Chapter 770
Hayden was immediately alerted because he had been stalked before. He took out his phone and called Eric.His phone was a gift from Eric; it was a cell phone tailor-made for children and Eric even saved his personal number in the phone.Hayden told Eric about being followed and Eric immediately arranged a few bodyguards to wait for Hayden where he got out of the taxi.The black car that was following Hayden raced by him as soon as he got out of the car, as though to make a statement that it was not following him, but simply happened to be driving on the same road."Are you here alone? Why didn't you bring your bodyguard?" Eric took Hayden's hand and took him into the building, where Eric and Layla trained for the entertainment company."It's new year soon and I told my bodyguard to go on leave," Hayden said."Your mom is going to be worried if she finds out." Eric remained thoughtful for a moment, before suggesting, "that person who was following you must have known that you don'

Seeing the determination in Layla's eyes, Hayden simply said, "Good luck."Meanwhile, Cole stood in front of the office window and watched as the neon lights lit up the city. The bustling night view outside signaled the start of the night life.Had it been any time before, he would have left the office and headed out to enjoy the night life; but today, he was not in the mood.He had been forced into bankruptcy by his own uncle and would be bearing a tremendous amount of debt.He did regret what he had done, but mostly, he resented it all.He had been leading a comfortable life as Elliot's nephew, and yet, it was as easy as killing a bug for Elliot to crush him.For the past few days, Cole watched his own father called Elliot countless times, begging for mercy in order to salvage the situation. His father had hoped that Elliot would forgive him for the sake of their kinship, but Elliot would either refuse the call or transfer the call to his assistant.'Elliot is merciless! My ow

Cole listened to his father as though he was listening to an intoxicating story. "So, is my uncle really mentally ill?"Henry frowned and sighed. "There are different levels of severity to mental illness. Even if your uncle was ill, he had not had another episode since then. How else did he succeed afterward?""His business took off, but his love life did not. Avery divorced him and refused to hand over the custody of her children. Do you really think it's because they don't love each other? Maybe she's known about his illness the entire time and decided not to be with him!" Cole guessed.Henry considered his words thoughtfully."Dad, we already have nothing. We have nothing else to lose. Even if we side with Charlie, what exactly can Elliot do to us? I don't have any more money that he can take anymore!" Cole found his determination in desperation. "I have to work with Charlie."Henry took his glass and drank all the wine in it."Tell Charlie about this, and then what?" Henry scowled.
Chapter 774
She felt like there could be some sort of connection between Adrian, his father, Shea and Elliot; not social connection, but biological connection.Avery was startled by her own thought.Had she been too tired lately, to come up with such a senseless idea? Aryadelle and Bridgedale were so far apart that even if Adrian's father was from Aryadelle, there was no way that he was related to the Fosters.The Fosters were so wealthy that they were untouchable in Aryadelle; though their family relations were a mess, if something did happen, Avery would have at least heard of it throughout the time she spent by Elliot's side. However, she had not heard of any rumors apart from matters concerning Shea.The car stopped in front of the mansion and she got out of the car.As soon as her feet touched the ground, she spotted an elegant figure standing by the door."Avery!" The person spotted her as well and immediately greeted.A smile appeared on Avery's face at the familiar voice.It was Ta

He had never publicized their relationship when Shea was still alive. It was a decision he made to keep her from the interference of the outside world; not even Avery understood him and thought that he hid Shea away from others' knowledge because he was ashamed of her intellectual disability.He had never once been ashamed of Shea; she would have died long ago if he felt ashamed of her.With Shea gone, he no longer had to worry about someone bothering or hurting her. Upon deciding that he would hold Shea's funeral, he started making arrangements on his own.When news got out, Hayden told Mike that he wanted to attend Shea's funeral.Mike immediately called Chad to ask if they could go."Mr. Foster is the one who drew up the guest list, you and Hayden are not on the list," Chad said in a troubled tone.Mike lifted an eyebrow. "Is Avery on it? If her name is on it, then Hayden and I will attend the funeral as her representatives.""No," Chad said directly, "he only invited some of

"I didn't hear anything about the body. What's wrong? You can't possibly be thinking of reviving her from the dead, right?" Mike's mind ran wild.Avery's head started to hurt. "I was just asking, Mike. If I can revive the dead, then no one will truly die on this earth. Don't you think that's really scary?""Oh. I didn't hear that Wesley will be coming back, so there probably won't be a body. Elliot must have gotten news that Shea was dead, though; he wouldn't have arranged a funeral otherwise.""Yeah.""Are you really not coming back? Robert is still little. You can hand him over to the nanny and come back for a short trip."Mike wanted her to attend the funeral. No matter the nature of their relationships with Elliot, they had always been close to Shea."I've failed Shea," Avery spoke her mind in a hoarse voice. "If only I realized what she was thinking earlier on, I would not never have let her do what she's done. I feel like I'm going crazy. I met a patient that has the exact

"He said that he has something to hold against you, but he won't use it thoughtlessly because he needs to reserve it for the right timing," Wanda said hastily, "as for what's the right timing that he was talking about, I have no idea. Charlie is a sly man. I haven't known him for long, so he doesn't really trust me. But we are content with our partnership so just give me more time and I will find a way to get that box back to you.""You already know that the box contains something that would post a threat to me; why would you give it back to me should you ever get your hands on the box?" Elliot said sarcastically.Wanda froze. Her mind went blank as she dazedly tried to think back to what she had just said.Why did Elliot sound as though he had been provoked?"I just wanted to know if Charlie has the box. Now that it's confirmed that he does, you are useless to me," Elliot gritted out coldly, "Wanda Tate, whatever you are plotting, I know everything."Wanda was scared senseless at
Chapter 778
If there was one thing Elliot hated most in his life, it would be being threatened by someone.'So Charlie has something to hold against me, but won't move because he is waiting for the right time?' He thought to himself, 'ha! I won't give him the chance. If he won't act, then I'll destroy him along with the box. Even if the fire doesn't kill him, his house would be burned into ruins.'The siren of the ambulance echoed in the air through the silent night.In Starry River Villa, Hayden had been woken up by the noises, and was shocked when he saw the sky painted with red.He crawled down the bed and stepped towards the door in the dark, before opening it and walking towards Mike's room.Mike had just fallen deeply asleep and had not noticed all the noises on the outside."The sky is red." Hayden pointed outside the window to show Mike.Mike rubbed his eyes and saw what was happening outside, so he took out his phone to check the news."A fire broke out in a residential building i
