This was the first time she had laughed so happily in the past few days.At ten o'clock in the morning, Kiki's funeral was held at the funeral parlor.After the wake, Kiki was sent for cremation.Elliot held Layla in one hand and gave her a tissue with the other so that she could wipe her tears."Let's go home!" Avery said."Okay."After coming out of the funeral parlor, they were ready to head to the parking lot.At this moment, a shadowy figure emerged and grabbed the microphone. "Mr. Foster, the annihilation of the Tierney family. That’s your doing, isn’t it?"The bodyguard was quick to block off the reporter.Elliot saw that his daughter was frightened and had planned to take her to the car.However, Avery's feet were firmly planted in place.Elliot Foster might not have cared what the outside world thinks of him, but she cared!"Do you know how the girl who you had the memorial for died?" Avery took the reporter's microphone and said loudly, "The girl's name was Kiki.

She did not expect that answer. She had thought that he had not cared about his identity. His answer was unequivocal and certainly firm.He could not accept that he was not the real Elliot Foster!She would keep it a secret for him."Elliot, I was only joking." She smiled to reestablish the easy-going atmosphere."I think your joke is quite interesting," he said, humoring her. "Let me explain why I won't accept your theory." Since he wanted to delve into the topic, she was all ears."Everything I have is everything that I have built. I did it brick by brick. My career, wealth, friends, you, and the children. Everything. If this isn't me, then it will not change anything. I will just cease caring about this identity of mine, but if I'm not who I am, then I would have lost everything a long time ago. Whether it is a partial or complete loss, I would have still lost, and I haven't lost anything." Avery nodded after listening to him."Indeed. You have it all well thought out,

"Okay."Elliot Foster sent Avery to the Tate Industries' offices.They arrived at a time when most employees were arriving at work. When the employees saw them, they gathered around to give their greetings. "Good morning, Ma’am! Good morning, Sir!""How many points do you get for calling him, Sir? He is your boss's fiancé now. Just call him Elliot or Uncle Foster." Mike stepped out from the crowd. Avery glared at him. "You are early today?""Is it wrong to come early?" Mike asked, glancing at Elliot again. "Is Mr. Foster’s wedding ready? There's only one month left!"At the mention of the wedding, Elliot felt anxiety increase the beating of his heart. For the past week, he had been with Layla at Starry River Villa. So he had no clue how the wedding arrangements had been progressing. "Dear, I'll make a move," he said.After Elliot Foster left, Avery walked up to Mike and whispered, "I have something to tell you.""What's the matter? You make it sound so mysterious.""I wan

Avery took the blueprint and glanced at him. She replied, "Who said that my beauty is for Elliot? Can't I be beautiful for myself? Can't I be beautiful for you?"Mike snorted. "This patient of yours lives very close to Elliot! What a coincidence!"The drawings that Mike gave her were maps he drew.The red dot in the middle of the map was Elliot's villa. To the southeast, there was another red dot. This represented the approximate direction of the phone signal."There is no way to get a more accurate position. I only managed to get this one.," Mike said. "Didn't you say that Elliot supports you? If you ask Elliot to send his men to search the nearby houses, you will find your patient for sure."Avery put away the drawings and shook his head. "He is busy with the wedding, I'll find it myself!""How do you plan on doing so? Let the bodyguards find it." Mike was afraid that something bad might happen to her. "Just stay put and count down the days to you becoming a beautiful bride."

Elliot was so excited that he got up from his chair and walked out of the conference room.When he reached the door leading out of the conference room, he stopped, turned around, and looked at the bewildered group, "My son can talk! He just said mommy! I'm going back to see my son!"After saying that, he left.The executives looked at one another."Mr. Elliot’s son knows how to call for his mother, but what does that have to do with him?" said one of the people in the room. "Well, it has nothing to do with him, but this is his first time experiencing fatherhood. You should understand that," said Chad as he pushed his glasses higher up his nose. When Layla and Hayden appeared in Elliot Foster's life, they had already known how to ride a bike.Robert truly gave Elliot the complete experience of being a father. "Oh, okay! It's indeed exciting to be a dad for the first time.""Let’s get on with the meeting!" Chad glanced at the time. "I'll send the meeting minutes to Mr. Elliot

Avery was at Starry River Villa when she received the message from Elliot. [Something came up. I will see our son tomorrow.][Alright.] replied Avery.After sending the message, Avery looked at her daughter. "Dear, Dad won't be coming tonight. You don’t have to get all dressed up."Upset, she put down the new dress in her arms."Why isn't he coming?""Something came up. He said he will come tomorrow." Avery comforted her daughter. "Your father— besides being your father— has to manage his company and our wedding. He has been really busy." Layla nodded with puffed cheeks. She resented Elliot a little. "If my Robert said 'dad' today, I'm sure Dad will be here right now, no matter how busy he is.""Haha, that’s true." Avery did not expect her daughter to have such a robust sense of humor at such a tender age. Elliot and Nathan sat opposite each other.The bodyguards were sent away.He wanted to know what story they had cooked up about him and where he came from."You do know

"Elliot, I'm not asking for much," said Nathan. He could see that Elliot was slowly accepting the model of reality that he had submitted. "You make so much money a year. How can you spend it all?! Let me and your brother help you spend some. Don't worry. I know your face is important to you. We can keep the father-son relationship private. As long as you give me enough money every month, I promise not to bother you in the future."Elliot's dangerous eagle eyes stared at the greedy old geezer in front of him.They had not even done a paternity test yet. Before he got hold of the test results, he would never acknowledge this old geezer as his dad."How dare this old b*st*rd ask such things of me?!" Elliot thought."How much is enough money?" his voice was cold. He suppressed the disgust that welled within him.He wanted to see how great of an appetite this old geezer had.Nathan stretched out a finger on one hand and five fingers on the other. "Fifteen million dollars. You earn bil

"Mr. Foster had been drinking, and he is drunk. I tried talking to him but he ignored me. It was like he lost his soul." Mrs. Scarlet was very worried. "I thought the two of you got into a fight again so I called to find out what happened."Avery said, "Oh, he probably went to entertain some clients today and drank too much."That comment reassured Mrs. Scarlet. "As long as the two of you didn't quarrel, all is well. I'll go upstairs to check on him later."Avery said, "I'll call him and speak to him!""Sure thing."Avery hung up and called Elliot.In the master bedroom, Elliot stared at his phone with bloodshot eyes. His mind was blank.He had drunk a bit too much, and while his senses were still there, he might not be able to control them as well as he would like. He was afraid that if he answered the phone now, he would start spouting nonsense. He walked into the bathroom and splashed some water onto his face. His phone continued ringing. It looked like she was not going
