Chapter 794
After Elliot explained his reason, Mike bawled in a fit of laughter."From your gift-picking skills, I have reasons to believe that you only attracted Avery because of your face and your money," Mike teased him mercilessly."She doesn't like my money," Elliot corrected him."You can earn money, that means you have capabilities. You're not all useless." Mike roared in laughter, "By the way, I heard that Layla has called you Daddy last night. You got a daughter for free. I'm sure you're delighted?""You sure don't mince your words." Elliot furrowed his brows.What did he mean by free? Layla was his daughter. This was a fact. If Layla was willing to let him raise her, he would take the time out to do so too."The truth is always harsher. How are you and Avery doing? Are you still at a standoff?" Mike changed into a subject that made Elliot feel worse. "Shea's funeral has been done. Let her rest in peace! You still have to live your life.""Are you asking me to go to Bridgedale and

That way, Elliot could pass on what he wanted to say to Hayden.Hayden accepted the gold bar to see what was engraved on it.'Happy New Year.'Hayden harrumphed and put the gold bar back into the box."There's still engraving on the back!" Mike placed the gold bar in Hayden's hands once more. Hayden was spirited. He looked at the gold bar closely once more.'I'm sorry.'Hayden was speechless. Was Elliot apologizing to him through the gold bar? How comical! Does Elliot not have a mouth? Why did he not apologize in person instead?"Big H, the gold bar it's quite heavy. It should be worth quite a lot! Why don’t you keep it!" Mike placed the gold bar and the box in Hayden's hand. "Elliot gave you a gold bar because he thinks you're golden. You're shiny and glittery. You burn bright.""You're describing a star.""Oh, what he means is that you have a bright future. You'll do great things.""I will surpass him in the future!" Hayden threw the gold bar aside. "I don't need his apolog

The laptop was playing a video of the funeral of Elliot's father.At the same time, Elliot's psychiatric diagnosis was also with Charlie.The day that Wanda came to visit, she deeply agitated him. That was because Wanda said that she was about to succeed, so Charlie sent men to keep watch around Starry River Villa.He never thought that his men soon got it! This was Wanda's consequence for disrespecting him!Once he has discharged from the hospital, he would properly plan.This time, he would surely make Elliot pay a painful price!…The backstage of the gala.After Layla's performance, she was interviewed by the media. Since her debut was with the help of Eric, her starting point was much further than any child celebrity.Other than that, she was pretty and tall. She was also rather talented, whether it was singing or dancing. If she underwent professional training in the future, she would surely be famous! "Layla, what do you think of your performance tonight? Rate yoursel

"Layla, did the reporters give you an interview just now?" Eric asked."Hmm, they just asked some questions," Layla said with a yawn, "Uncle Eric! I'm sleepy! I want to sleep."Eric lifted her. "Go sleep! Once you're up, you can be with your Mommy in Bridgedale."Layla initially had a tired expression, but after hearing what he said, she smiled sweetly. "I miss Mommy. I have so many things I want to tell her…" Layla said softly and closed her eyes.In Bridgedale, Avery had been busy preparing for the surgery the past few days. Mrs. Cooper and another nanny had been taking good care of Robert. Avery occasionally came to see Robert, because they had agreed to spend New Year's Eve together, Tammy was in charge of curating the menu for dinner. She passed it to Avery to have a look.Avery looked at the menu and said respectfully, "You're much more knowledgeable when it comes to food. I trust you.""Avery, you won't mind if I bring another person along, right?" Tammy took the menu ba

"You're right." Avery looked at her. "I will always place my children and me first. A selfish person like me has no right to say anything about you."Tammy said, "Avery, don't feel aggrieved. You have nothing to feel aggrieved about. You have never been through hardship."Avery said, "Yes, what I have been through is nothing compared to you all."Tammy did not want to hear Avery talk about this. Even hearing her voice annoyed her. They were not like that before. To put it bluntly, Tammy could not get past that incident. Although she said that the humiliation that she went through had nothing to do with Avery, her heart could not let it go.If she did not know Avery, she would not have been kidnapped. She could have grown old with Jun, instead of hurting each other.Tammy stormed off. She got in the car and quickly drove off.She was in too much pain! She has already decided to turn over a new leave. Why did Avery have to choose that moment to tell her about Jun?Tammy cried al

There was a knock on Elliot's door. Then, it was pushed open.Ben entered. "Elliot, it's almost the New Year. How do you plan to celebrate? Will you be home or out on holiday?"Elliot did not look up. His tone was calm. "I'll be spending it at home.""Then, I'll come over to your place to have dinner! I'm not going back to see my parents." Ben walked over to Elliot's desk and sat down. "Chad's culinary skills are quite good. We'll get him to cook."Elliot look at him and said directly, "You all don't need to accompany me."Ben scratched his head. "It's not only to accompany you. My parent's house is too cold. They are on a vacation on a tropical island right now! I don't want to be their third wheel."Elliot said, "Your parents have such a good relationship, why don't you get married?"Ben sighed. "If I get married, that means I have to bear a huge responsibility. I think being single is quite good. I get to have fun with whomever I want.""You still can't get over Chelsea, rig
Chapter 800
After seeing the wounds on her face, Chelsea was silent.Then, she let out a maniacal laugh! Her right face was still smooth and exquisite, but her left face was mulch. It was as if some parts of it were missing, half of her face was caved in!Her wound was much uglier than she had imagined! A million times uglier!Her ego was badly wounded. All the grievance she received in the past was not as great as the harm her wounded face brought to her! No wonder the brother that loved her the most in the past would suddenly have a change of attitude.Even her mother, Jeanette, could not help but take a step back after seeing the wound on her face."Charlie, you get discharged first!" Jeanette retracted her gaze. She did not want to spend another second longer there. "If she wants to stay in the hospital, let her be! You don't have to deal with her.""Mom, how heartbreaking is it to say this in front of her! Although she is an ugly one right now, I will never forget how pretty she was
Chapter 801
The reporter asked, "Layla, do you have any New Years' wishes?""I wish to receive a lot of beautiful gifts…""Do you have any happy things that happened to you recently?""I never had a good relationship with my father previously, but it's getting better with him. It's great to have a father."Elliot's eyes were a little wet at that point. He never thought that Layla would mention him in her interview. In her heart, he must be someone important to her already!The reporter continued, "Is your father in the industry too? Is he here tonight?"Layla said, "He isn't in the industry. Our relationship only got better a little, we're not there yet! I still have to evaluate his performance in the future!""Then, what do you hope he does in the future?""I have never thought about it, but he has to at least not do things that would make me sad. Also, he can't do bad things. If not, it would embarrass me."The video ended there.Layla's last sentence rang in his mind for a long time.
