Avery rushed out the door almost immediately.Mike's reflexes were quick and he grabbed her in the nick of time!"Avery! Elliot and Jun have already picked her up. She's no longer in danger!" Mike looked at her cold, resentful eyes and took a deep breath. "Don't be impulsive like her! She's already an adult now, not a child! Do you think she did the right thing when she went recklessly to Rosacus City all by herself?"Avery yanked his arm away. "Her actions are wrong, but what you said earlier was wrong too. Don't tell a person to be kind if you've never experienced what they went through. You've never gone through her pain, so you have no right to judge her."Her words left Mike speechless and there was no way for him to resist."I'll be frank with you. Elliot was the one who told me to come back and keep watch over you. He said he'd bring Tammy back unharmed." Mike dragged Avery onto the sofa and sat her down, "It takes two hours to go to Rosacus City and another two to come bac

Chelsea sneered in despair. "I know. As of now, I can only let myself be hit and I can't fight back. If I did, everything I have left now will be taken away by you."Chelsea's words jolted Tammy's memory.With Elliot and Jun lending their support for her, she was never going to let Chelsea off the hook!She rushed up to Chelsea and gave her such a fast, tight slap that Chelsea did not even have the time to cover her ears!The slap caused Chelsea's mask to fall off."You're a maggot, Chelsea! You don't want anyone to see your face, but that's exactly what I'm going to do! You've got it coming for you! You'll die the most miserable of deaths!" Tammy's anger did not seem to decrease one bit and she raised her hand once more to vent out all the rage that she had in her.Elliot watched coldly at one side without interfering.Jun held Tammy in his arms and turned her around. "Tammy! We're in a police station! You can't beat her up here! She'll get her punishment for sure! And besides,

"Elliot," she called out his name. "Just eat, will you!"He unconsciously curled his lips into a beautiful smile.Satisfied, he turned around and followed her into the living room.When Mrs. Cooper saw the two of them coming in, she immediately smiled and said, "Dinner's ready. I'll check and see if Layla has finished her homework."Layla had just started elementary school. She had homework every day, and lots of it too.Avery decided to hire a tutor just to supervise Layla's daily homework.Layla was not particularly enthusiastic about learning, and it would be quite difficult for her to keep up if she was not given the necessary push.Fortunately, Layla was quite obedient and basically worked hard to complete the special exercises Avery gave her.Elliot walked to the crib and hesitated for a few seconds before picking Robert up.Avery chided him, "Didn't you say you had no energy to step out of my courtyard because you're too hungry?"Elliot took it all in stride and was fi

Elliot was afraid that his daughter would be bullied at school and felt worried even though he knew that there was only a very slim chance of that happening.His daughter was very beautiful and had a very assertive character. Everything would be fine and dandy if no one provoked her, but if someone pushed her buttons, she would definitely fight back even though she could not win against them!As a result, he had a word with the school in private."You're such an awesome father." Avery teased him."I know what I have done is far from enough, but I'll continue to try my best."Avery looked at Layla and explained, "Your brother will be back a bit later today. Your father was out the whole day to pick Aunt Tammy up and just came back. It was a pretty long day for him, so I left some food for him.""Oh," Layla answered after hearing the explanation.Since there was a reasonable explanation, she put away the attitude she had shown Elliot earlier."Mommy, I like my magic wand!" Layla

Elliot thought that lowering the car window would startle the man.He thought that the man would lower his head or turn around.Surprisingly, the man raised his head and looked at Elliot after the latter lowered the car window.Elliot frowned almost instantly and glared back at the man!In stark contrast to Elliot's angry emotions, the man grinned and smiled at him!A cold sweat broke out on Elliot's back, not because he was scared, but because the person was just simply bizarre.No one ever dared to roam near his villa, much less glance at him so boldly!Since it was difficult to see clearly at night, he could only vaguely make out the man's silhouette.It was a tall and slightly chubby middle-aged man. Elliot could confirm that he had never seen that man before!Why would someone like that appear outside his villa at night?The car drove immediately into the front yard. Elliot got out of the car and gave his bodyguard some instructions before walking into the villa.After

Jun's reaction startled his parents.Tammy was caught between them and she felt lost because she did not know how to ease the tension in their relationship.Just as she was about to say something, Jun's mother remarked sarcastically, "Precious son? Do you still consider yourself a child when you're already thirty?""I could be sixty for all I care and still be your son!" Jun protested. His cheeks had turned red.Hilda picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely.Harold sneered. "Your mother and I agreed to let you remain with Tammy. Who said anything about asking you to stay with her family?"Jun was speechless.Hilda turned to Tammy. "Come here."Tammy's heartbeat quickened as she walked to her mother-in-law."Jun's father and I have been reflecting on everything for the past two days. Our reaction to what happened in the past to you was truly inappropriate. Jun's persistence has shown us that he is a responsible person and we're very pleased with that. At the same time, it

It was a parcel from overseas.She had received an international parcel before. At that time, she opened it and saw Wesley's finger.It was a nightmare that would haunt her for the rest of her life.She took a deep breath and said to Mrs. Cooper, "You can go ahead and help me open it!""Okay, I'll do it outside." Mrs. Cooper took the parcel and walked out.Layla liked unpacking parcels, so she followed behind Mrs. Cooper to see what was inside."Let me comb your hair, Layla." Avery stopped her daughter. "Mrs. Cooper will bring in the parcel's contents for us to see later.""Oh, okay!" Layla came back to Avery and said whimsically, "Mommy, do you think the parcel might be a birthday present for me and Hayden?"Avery smiled and said, "Then who do you think sent it.""I don't know." Layla thought for a moment and did not know who it could be. However, she seemed very confident when she said, "I think it is a gift for me and Hayden because it's our birthday today! Think about it.

The bodyguard had checked the surveillance footage from the previous night and discovered when it was that the man came.That man came after the sun set and waited there for about 20 minutes until Elliot came back.He left as soon as he spotted Elliot.His car was parked in the surveillance cameras' blind spot and was therefore not photographed. Without the car plate number, there was no way to find out his personal information.The surveillance cameras did not capture a clear shot of his face either, since he kept his head down when he saw Elliot.It was only when he and Elliot looked at each other that his face was caught by the camera.However, the lack of proper lighting meant that the picture was very blurry.The bodyguard took a screenshot of the video and printed it out to show Elliot.Elliot looked at the photo over and over again but could not quite remember where he had seen that person before. For some odd reason, however, he felt that the person was quite familiar.
