"What's so interesting about gray hairs? They're just hairs that are gray. Can't you just imagine it in your mind?" Avery's answer left Cole speechless."Why do I feel like you're messing with me on purpose?" Cole mumbled."I'm not complaining about your oily hair, but you're saying I'm messing with you? If I really wanted to mess with you, I could just get your uncle to do it. He won't just pull your hair out. He'll pull your whole head off instead."The color drained from Cole's face as terror took over. "Didn't you say that my uncle isn't as heartless as I'd thought?""That's right. Otherwise, how would you still be alive? If you weren't his nephew, you'd be dead a long time ago," Avery said. "I'm leaving after I finish my coffee."Cole was stunned for a moment, then said, "Didn't you ask me out to talk? What did you want to talk about?""We already finished talking!" Avery took a sip of coffee, then looked up at him. "I just wanted to know how you were doing. Now that I know

Over at Sterling Group, Ben was sitting in Elliot's chair in his office and grinned widely as Elliot walked into the room."You sure act fast, Elliot!" Ben knew that Elliot would not get mad no matter how much he teased him now, so he was being especially insolent. "I was only away for two days and you managed to get Avery in the bag. You're even planning your wedding already. If Chad hadn't told me over the phone, did you not plan on telling me anything until after the wedding?"Elliot walked over to his desk, then asked, "Are the Tierneys and Goldsteins close?""Which Goldstein?""The Goldsteins from Mount Sierra. After old man Goldstein died, his son, Roger took over." Elliot was still bothered by what happened in Mount Sierra. "If I hadn't bribed one of the staff members there beforehand, I would probably be a pile of dust by now."Ben cursed out loud, then shot to his feet in shock. "Chad didn't tell me about this. He just said that you and Avery were getting married. I'm not

Elliot was sending out wedding favors all the way to Avery's company. How nice of him."It's not set in stone yet!" Avery said, embarrassed."Huh? Isn't it supposed to be on 12 June?" exclaimed the receptionist in shock. "I asked the people from Sterling Group and they said you and Mr. Foster are getting married on 12 June!"Avery was speechless."D*mn it!" she thought.Even though she did not know that she was getting married on 12 June, Elliot's employees already knew all about it.They had only agreed to get their marriage license on 7 July, but the wedding date would depend on the wedding preparations.However, Elliot decided to hold the wedding on 12 June but did not tell her about it.The moment Avery stepped into her office, she immediately called Elliot.Elliot answered the call and said in a deep voice, "I was just about to call you, Avery. I've sent the design sketch for the wedding gown over to you. Take a look.""That was fast!" Avery was so surprised that she for

That evening, Avery saw Elliot and the designer in the living room when she arrived home.The designer was here to take Avery's measurements."I want a pretty dress, too, Mommy." Layla gazed enviously at Avery."I've bought so many pretty dresses for you before, sweetie. There are still plenty of them that you haven't worn yet!" Avery said."That's different." Layla frowned."How so?""Daddy showed me the wedding gown you'll be wearing. It's a lot prettier than any of my dresses," Layla said, then suddenly smiled and said, "Daddy said he'll get me the same dress as yours."Avery turned to Elliot. "Are you sure you want to get your daughter a wedding gown?"Elliot was embarrassed. "As long as she's happy."Avery felt that there was something very wrong about his behavior.First of all, the wedding gown was long. It would be difficult for Layla to move around in such a bulky dress.Second of all, how could he keep giving in to the children?"How could you keep going with what

Should Elliot be thanking his bodyguards?Once they were done arguing, the designer smiled and said, "It's fate that you ended up together, Miss Tate. No matter how much unhappiness you had to suffer through in the past, what's important is that your future will be filled with nothing but happiness."Avery smiled at the designer and said, "I supposed. You're here to get my measurements, right? Go ahead, then! Do I need to take off my clothes?""Please take off your coat. It would be best if you're wearing something fitted underneath. The measurements would be more accurate that way.""Oh, I'll go to the room and change, then." Avery walked toward her room.Layla quietly snuck over to Elliot's side, then asked curiously, "What's a vegetative state, Daddy? I know what vegetation is. That's stuff like flowers and trees, right?"Elliot nodded and said, "That's right. Flowers and trees are vegetation…""Oh." Layla excitedly cut him off mid-sentence and shared her own explanation, "So

Chelsea glared at Ben's outreached hand and refused coldly, "I'm not giving it to you."Ben's brows furrowed. "So were you really behind it?!""I was not! Why won't you believe me?" Chelsea angrily walked over to her desk and took a seat. "Was what you just said to me Elliot's original words, Ben?"Ben placed his hands on the desk. "Do you think I came here of my own free will? Of course, he was the one who sent me here! I wasn't even in Aryadelle before this. I only found out about what happened yesterday.""I see. I heard about what happened at Villa de Sierra. Nothing happened at all." Chelsea smirked mockingly, then asked, "Since nothing happened, why is he suspicious of me and won't let this go?"Ben guessed the truth from her nervous and fearful tone.Elliot was right.Chelsea was twisted after her disfigurement.She used to love Elliot more than anything. If anyone wanted to hurt him, she would be the first one to go head-to-head with whoever it was.Now, however, she w

As Ben heard the hurt in Chelsea's voice, he gave in and held her in his arms."I know you've been hurting. You used to be a mighty goddess. You've never had to suffer like this before."Chelsea's tears rolled down her cheeks.It was only now that she realized that Ben was the man who loved her most in the world.However, before she died, she wanted to hurt him one last time."I'll marry you in the next life, Ben… Whether you feel like it or not, you have to say yes to me now. I'm about to die, after all. Please fulfill my final wish.""Alright. I'll marry you in the next life."…Back in Avonsvillle, Tammy called Avery to tell her that she had just met with her psychiatrist.After Avery asked Tammy where she was, she immediately rushed over to see her.The two sat in a restaurant for lunch."Why isn't Jun eating with us? Does he feel uncomfortable that I'm around?" Avery asked."What's there for him to feel uncomfortable about? Should he be here and third-wheel our convers

Once the call was made, it went through, but there was no answer.If Ben saw that Elliot was calling, he would definitely pick up the phone.Elliot was even more certain now that Ben was in trouble!Just as he was about to leave and look for Ben, he received a text from him.[I can't talk right now, Elliot.]After Elliot saw the text, he immediately sent a reply: [What's the situation right now? Are you in danger?]Ben: [I'm not in danger. Give me a little more time. I'll be back tomorrow.]Elliot read the text message, pondered for a moment, then responded: [Alright.]Over at the Starry River Villa, Layla brought over her finished homework for Avery to check."Why hasn't Daddy come by today, Mommy?" Layla asked softly."Do you want him to come over?" Avery asked with a smile as she flipped through her daughter's homework.Layla sighed and said, "Hayden doesn't like him. I'd be betraying him if I said I liked Daddy.""How could you think that, Layla?" Avery turned to her. "
