Chelsea never used to care about the Tierney fortune. She only wanted to be respected and recognized by her family.Now, however, she did not need anybody's respect. She only wanted the entire Tierney fortune in her hands!It was the first day of work over at Sterling Group.Nobody expected Elliot, who was about to be married, to show up at the office first thing in the morning.However, he stayed in his office the entire time and did not step out even once.The vice president and the Chief Financial Officers were the ones who distributed that year's annual bonuses.Of course, the employees would not let go of this opportunity to find out the truth behind the gossip."Is Mr. Foster really marrying Chelsea Tierney, Sir? Why is he doing this?"The vice president was distressed. "I really don't know anything about this. How about you ask Mr. Schaffer?""How would I know anything about the boss's personal life?" Ben said with a comical expression on his face. "I only found out aft
It was eight at night in Aryadelle when a social media post exploded online.It was a status update on Charlie Tierney's private account.The post read: [Elliot Foster has a psychological disorder.]It was a short post, but it was enough to leave everyone in horror.The status was posted on a private account, but online users very quickly used the information from the post to find out that the account belonged to Charlie Tierney.Elliot Foster was about to get married to Charlie Tierney's sister, Chelsea Tierney. Since he revealed such appalling news online during such a crucial moment, was the wedding still happening?After the post went viral, Charlie's friends called him and told him about the news.Charlie's clenched his teeth and hissed, "I haven't been on social media in forever! I didn't post anything online!"Then, he logged into the account that he had left alone for years and saw the shocking status update.Charlie's blood boiled as he stared at the post and his mind
"I just called Mike, Sir. He said he wasn't the one who hacked into Charlie Tierney's account." Chad adjusted his glasses, then continued, "He said it was Hayden."Elliot covered the microphone on his phone, then hung up.It was Hayden.It was not surprising!Hayden knew the entire time that Layla was the one who took the box, so he must have already known about the box's contents.He suddenly recalled that the reason why he almost strangled Hayden to death was that Hayden had said that he was sick.He did not think about why Hayden would say such a thing at the time. Now that he thought about it, he was a complete idiot!Hayden had known about Elliot's secret this entire time. Even if Elliot never laid a finger on Hayden back then, Hayden would still never acknowledge Elliot as his father!Hayden looked down on him! Otherwise, he would not have hacked into Charlie's account and nonchalantly reveal Elliot's secret to the public."Hayden was just playing a prank, Sir." Chad onl
Avery pondered for a few seconds, then responded coldly, "I don't care."Tammy could feel Avery's resolution toward Elliot from her tone.She was right. Nothing that happened to Elliot right now was worth Avery's sympathy.All the gossip about Elliot completely disappeared from the internet overnight.People might not be able to discuss the matter online, but everyone was still talking about it in private."I think there's something abnormal about Mr. Foster too," said one of the employees at Sterling Group. "I think he might not even be from this world. He could be an alien from another planet. Nothing else would explain how he's so outstanding at such a young age."Everyone burst into laughter."I think that even if Mr. Foster had a psychological disorder, it's not something that would make him go on a killing frenzy. I've been working here for a long time and I've never heard any negative press about him. Our company has the highest yearly salary increment in the industry. Yo
"Then… What does Avery think?" Ben hesitated for a moment before asking this question because the answer was already clearly written on Elliot's face.Elliot took out a cigarette and lit it up."Don't smoke so much, Elliot." Ben noticed the new lighter in Elliot's hand and guessed that he had probably smoked a lot in the past few days."I didn't want to embarrass the children," Elliot said as his bloodshot eyes glistened with deep hatred. "I want Charlie Tierney to die a horrible death!"When he said that he did not want to embarrass the children, Ben instantly understood what he was feeling.Layla and Hayden were already attending school. They were no longer three-year-olds.They could find out about any of society's trending news from their classmates and teachers.If things got blown out of proportion, would their classmates view them differently? Would they also think that Layla and Hayden were abnormal?Over in Bridgedale, Eric took Avery and the twins out skiing.Avery d
Mike held Avery in his arms and comforted her in a low voice. "Men and women have different ways of thinking. He must have been afraid that this would affect you and the children. He was wrong to assume your ability to handle these things.""I don't want to know what he was thinking because he has never told me how he truly felt," Avery sobbed. "I would be a joke if I always had to depend on others, or the news, to find out what he was going through! I can't sympathize with him! Even if he died from a sickness right now, I still won't feel bad for him!""Don't cry, Avery." Mike had a mountain of things he wanted to say to console her, but they never escaped his lips.Love was not something that could be explained with a few sentences.Elliot was threatened into having to marry a disfigured Chelsea and become a laughing stock. He had spent the first half of his life in glory and never had to experience this type of humiliation.However, what did Avery ever do wrong?Avery got tire
Back in Aryadelle, it was the day of Elliot Foster and Chelsea Tierney's wedding.Charlie was welcoming guests at the hotel's entrance along with Chelsea's mother.Everything was going according to Charlie's plan without a hitch.The first reason Charlie wanted Elliot to marry Chelsea was to humiliate Elliot. The second reason was that he wanted the whole world to know that there was a marriage between the Tierneys and the Fosters, and that the Tierneys would have the Foster family's support in the future.As long as Charlie had his bargaining chip firmly in his grasp, nothing bad would happen.Tammy entered the banquet hall and immediately spotted Jun in the crowd.He was standing with Ben. They were chatting away happily in a relaxed manner.Tammy picked up a glass of champagne and found a noticeable spot to sit down.Very quickly, Ben saw her and informed Jun of her presence.Jun saw that she was sitting by herself, then walked in her direction.Tammy felt uncomfortable wh
Charlie called Elliot, but there was no answer on the phone.On the other hand, Chelsea picked up when he called her.However, her tone was nonchalant as she said, "Hey, Charlie. Have the guests arrived?""Chelsea Tierney! What the h*ll are you playing at?! Do you have any idea what time it is? Did Elliot not pick you up? I call him, but he's not answering! Is he regretting this now?!"Charlie spent the entire morning greeting and entertaining guests, so he was rather tired at the moment.When neither Elliot nor Chelsea showed up, he completely lost control of his emotions."Elliot didn't call me, so I'm not too sure what's happening right now." Chelsea's tone was soft and demure, which was different from her humble demeanor from before. "I'm still getting my hair done! I wasn't happy with the hair and makeup you chose, so I asked the stylist to redo everything."Charlie's lips twisted into a snarl as he snapped, "Don't think you're Mrs. Foster now and can act so insolently in f
