"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

While Charlie and Jeanette were busy welcoming guests at the hotel that morning, Elliot's personal team of bodyguards and manned helicopters surrounded the entire Tierney Villa.Charlie's subordinates had never in their lives encountered such a terrifying battle.All it took was the time for Elliot to finish one cigarette in the living room for his bodyguards to get back what was his!This top-secret plan was devised after Chelsea heard Charlie's phone conversation about how he had left his bargaining chip against Elliot with one of his subordinates.Once Elliot retrieved his belonging, he left.Chelsea knew that today was probably the last time they would ever meet again in their lives.He did not belong to her, not before, not now, and now ever.She never received love from Elliot, but she learned how to be ruthless and cruel!Over at the hotel, Ben received a phone call, then said to his comrades, "Elliot isn't coming. You can all leave now!""Huh? Can we at least stay for

Tammy: [I'm so mad, Avery! Jun actually brought his fiance over and showed her off in my face! What a b*st*rd! I never want to see him again for the rest of my life!]Tammy: [I must've lost my mind from rage! Why did I run out of the hall?! I wanted to stay and gag at Elliot and Chelsea… No way! I can't just leave! I'll wait outside the hotel!]Tammy: [It's almost noon, but the bride and groom aren't here yet… I wonder if there's traffic or if they're not coming! My legs are aching from standing around for so long! I'm going to have to find somewhere to sit for a bit!]Tammy: [What are you doing right now, Avery? You didn't reply to any of my texts. I know you're not crying in secret. You must be busy with something!]Mike: [Why is the surgery taking so long? I'm waiting for you at the hospital.]After Avery saw Mike's text message, she quickly walked out of the bathroom.Mike was sitting on a bench in the hallway playing a game on his phone.Avery strode over, then patted him o
