"I'm not sure if I’m drunk." He rubbed his aching temple with his slender fingers.

How he wished he was drunk! If he were drunk, he would not remember anything that happened tonight the next day.

"It looks like you had one too many a glass," said Avery. "Go lie down. I'll get Mrs. Scarlet to make you a bowl of hangover soup. Drink it before going to sleep."

He agreed to her request and ended the call.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Scarlet came up with a bowl of sour plum soup.

Elliot was lying in bed, and he was still wearing the same clothes. His eyes were shut. Only one bedside lamp was turned on in the room, and it was quite dim.

Mrs. Scarlet was not sure if he was asleep, so she stood by the door of the room.

Then she heard his deep voice, "Come in."

He opened his eyes and sat up.

Mrs. Scarlet served the sour plum soup. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of dark red blood on his palm.

"Sir, your hand is bleeding!" Mrs. Scarlet was shocked.

"I'm fine." He took a sip o

I remember Hayden did a DNA test on Cole and it confirmed it was his uncle. How could they not be related now?

    The person in charge immediately invited Elliot to his office."Mr. Foster, what brings you here today?" asked the person in charge gingerly as he poured Elliot a cup of tea."Do you know my fiancé?" Elliot asked.Stunned, the person in charge said, "Who is your fiancé?""Avery Tate," Elliot lowered his voice and said, "You mailed something to her a while back, right? I saw it."The person in charge brightened at the mention of Avery. "You mean Miss Tate! I do know her. She is a brilliant woman, and it is my pleasure to know her. I didn't know that the two of you are engaged! What great news! The wedding...""The wedding is on the first of June. You can come if you are free on that day.""Of course, I will be free!""What business did she come for the last time she was here?" Elliot could not help but ask.Avery had been avoiding his eyes when he had asked her about it, and the way she behaved was somewhat unnatural. Apart from that, she had also brought up the topic of his identity. A

    "Well, as long as you don't tell Miss Tate that you've been here, she wouldn't come asking me about it, would she?" the person in charge said gingerly.Elliot could not find an issue with what he said.Meanwhile, Avery and Robert were at Tammy's house. They were there to keep Tammy company, and because it was that time of the month, Tammy was in a rather foul mood. Avery's other reason for visiting Tammy was so she could find out who Elliot's drinking buddy was."Elliot was drunk?" No way! I've never seen him drunk before!" Jun seemed a bit excited upon hearing what Avery had to say. "I know most of Elliot's friends, but I didn't hear that he was hanging out with friends last night!"Tammy was playing with Robert and said, "Avery, it's either that Elliot has lied to you, or Jun is not as close to Elliot as he thinks he is.""Let's go with the second one then!" Jun immediately said. "I'd rather admit that I'm not as close to him as I thought I was than to see you two fight again!"Avery

    Avery carried Robert back into Tammy's house after the call with Elliot."Why are you giggling? Everything is fine?" Tammy asked."Yeah. I called him just now. He said that he doesn't remember what happened last night, so I didn't bother asking. I'm about to marry him. If I don't trust him, how are we supposed to spend the rest of our lives together?"Jun sighed a long breath of relief at Avery's words."Avery, I was just talking to Tammy, and I was wondering whether you were planning to take Robert with you when you went to confront Elliot. Tammy said you won't. She told me that you will send Robert home before going to see Elliot." Jun was not sure whether to laugh or cry, as they had both been wrong.Avery chuckled. In the past, she might have gone straight to find Elliot upon catching his lie as Tammy and Jun had predicted."I can be understanding and forgiving to others, but I somehow lose my temper all the time whenever I'm with him." Avery reflected on her actions and said, "Aft

    Avery video called Jun at four in the afternoon, and when Jun received her phone call, he immediately realized that something was wrong."What's wrong?" Jun felt uncomfortable being the target of her cold glare, and he felt his back grow damp with sweat. "Did Tammy say something to you? Am I not doing well enough? It shouldn't be! I've been super gentle and patient lately. Elliot told me to give Tammy more time...""Elliot said that to you?" Avery was slightly surprised."Yeah! What exactly did Tammy tell you? How am I supposed to fix it if you won't tell me?" He asked."Why are you keeping the love letter you wrote for a classmate in a box? Not only did you not destroy it, but you even kept that girl's number in your contact list. When exactly are you two planning to start dating again?" Avery asked him all the questions that Tammy dared not ask. "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand, can you give me some hints?" Jun was confused."That box you have with all your

    Avery walked up to him. "What did you buy?"She had a clear view of what was in his trunk, and she instantly froze. The trunk was spacious and there was no telling what could be in it. Currently, it was jammed packed with boxes and bags."Elliot, didn't you tell me to go to your place tonight?" She changed the subject and said, "I thought you weren't coming.""You coming over, me coming over, aren't they the same thing?" He took the bags and boxes out of the trunk and said, "I was walking past a street this afternoon and saw some nice things that you and kids might like, so I bought them all."Avery was stunned for a moment, before finally realizing what he had just said. "Are you saying that you spent the entire afternoon buying all these for me and the kids?!""Yes." He continued to move the things he bought out of the trunk.She grabbed onto his arm and said seriously, "Elliot Foster! Are you still drunk from last night?"He leaned toward her.Avery flushed and shoved his handsome-l

    He proposed a solution. "Then move to a bigger mansion.""The children and I have gotten used to this place, so we don't want to move," Avery said with resignation. "Just keep your urge to shop in check! I know you are rich, but money can be used to elevate our personal lives, and it can also be used for good deeds. You can make donations to poor communities in the mountains or to non-profit organizations.""I am doing all that as well." He stepped back toward the trunk and moved more boxes out. "I bought you jewelry. I know you think it's too troublesome to wear them, but I like them on you."She opened the box and found multiple smaller boxes."Elliot, did you empty the shops?""I didn't," he said. "I didn't buy the ones that didn't look good."Avery felt helpless. She knew she should be happy to receive such gifts, but she was not in the slightest bit happy. Her jewelry cabinet did not have the space for this many new pieces. "What did you buy Layla?" She suppressed the urge to lec

    Though it was merely a general analysis that could be different from the final result, there was a fifty percent chance that it was accurate.Elliot had never been one to think that fate would favor those who did not believe in it.'Result: According to the DNA analysis, the results support the conclusion that there was a paternal relation in the DNA combination between sample 1 and sample 2.'Shortly after, another message came in from the person in charge of the paternity test center.[Mr. Foster, I will send you the refined result in five days.]Elliot suppressed the disgust he felt and replied calmly.[Sure.]"Elliot, I told Hayden that you had gotten him some gifts, but he refused to look at them," said Avery when she noticed Elliot staring at his phone. "Let's just tell him that I was the one who bought the workbooks! Otherwise, he is probably not going to practice at all. By the way, how did you find out that he has bad handwriting?"Elliot set his phone down to take a sip of mi

    A voice in his head screamed, "You are not Eason Foster's son! You are not the chosen one! You are not a high-born boy... That creep Nathan White is your real father! There's evil blood flowing in your veins; that's why you are cruel, cold, and vicious! It won't end well for you! Even if you change now, you are still going to have to pay for your father's sins! He will drag you down to hell, and you will stay alongside him for all eternity!"His stomach twisted and turned with nausea, and he raced toward the garage. He vomited the breakfast he had just consumed. Luckily, the garage was located on the right side of the mansion and no one saw him lose his composure.He stared blankly at his vomit, and tears welled up in his eyes when he realized that his background was as filthy as the vomit on the ground.It was not that he could not accept that he was not a son of the Foster family; he simply could not accept the fact that Nathan was his father. Furthermore, he had suffered too

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

    Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

    Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

    After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
