Elliot was stopped by the Tierney family's bodyguards on his way to the south side of the villa.

"You can't go in there, Mr. Foster."

"Let me in!" Elliot roared with a savage fury. "My wife's inside!"

"Do you mean Miss Tate?" asked the bodyguard, then added, "She just went hiking with Mr. Tierney."

Elliot pursed his lips as his eyes turned into glacial orbs of ice colder than the abyss.

The bodyguard pointed in the direction of a hill not too far away and said, "They went that way, but it's already dark out, and it's a pretty steep walk. If you are unfamiliar with the path, I suggest you wait for them inside. I'm sure they'll be back soon."

Elliot clenched his fists, then he stormed up the hill.

In the living room in the south wing of the villa, after listening to Charlie's father's two-hour history lesson on the establishment of his company and his thoughts on Tate Industries, Avery was desperate to escape.

"Thank you for taking the time out to talk to me, Mr. Tierney. Sin

    Charlie patted down his wrinkled shirt, then snapped coldly, "I'm not his bodyguard, Chelsea! I don't have time to keep tabs on him! Go look for him yourself!"Chelsea violently punched Charlie in the chest and shrieked, "I can't reach his phone, and I can't find him! His bodyguard doesn't know where he is either! Stop pretending! You installed that signal blocker on purpose! This is all part of your crazy plan!"Charlie clasped a hand over her mouth and he flung her over his shoulder with the other. "Listen to me, Chelsea! I have to lock you in your room for now. You won't suffer again after tonight!"Back in the banquet hall, Avery shot to her feet.The uneasiness in her heart rose as she took in the unfamiliar faces around her.She pulled out her phone and noticed Elliot's missed calls and text message which read: [Look for me when you see this! I'll be in the banquet hall!]Avery was in the banquet hall, but where was Elliot?She tried calling him, but her call was immedia

    The villa was located halfway up the hill.There was a winding but smooth road starting at the bottom of the hill that led straight to the villa.From there onwards, however, there were no roads leading to the top of the hill.It was already dark out when Elliot had begun his journey from the villa.Using his flash as a torchlight, he hurried up the hill. He was worried for Avery's safety.Charlie had bad intentions when it came to Avery, and Elliot was terrified of what might happen to her if he was too late.He would never have allowed Avery to come alone if he knew about Charlie's evil plans.Half an hour later, Elliot was breathing heavily, but it was nothing compared to the hell his legs were going through. His doctor had ordered him not to do any extraneous activities for the next six months.He was only allowed to walk normally and not for long periods of time either.Activities like hiking that wore out the knees were out of the question and carried extreme risks.

    A glimmer of light not too far away suddenly grabbed Avery's attention.She shone the flashlight of her phone in the direction of the glimmer.At the bottom of the sprawling ravine was the clear silhouette of a man lying on the ground."Elliot!"Avery let out a shrill cry before she got down on all fours and crawled toward the ravine."I'm coming, Elliot! Don't be scared! You'll be fine… You'll be okay!"Hearing her cries, the bodyguard stood on top of the hill and yelled, "Did you find him?!""Yes! He fell! He's covered in blood!" Avery yelled as she tried to contain her emotions. "Get over here!"She took a deep breath and jumped down to where Elliot was.Her foot slipped upon the sudden impact, which caused her to draw a sharp breath of pain.She swiped the tears off her face and quickly scrambled to where Elliot was and took him into her arms. "Elliot! Wake up! Don't fall asleep! Stay awake!"She held his face that was cold to the touch in her hands, lowered her head,

    Avery was cooped up at the library at Avonsville University after having dinner on campus.A sudden cheer made her look up from her book. "It's snowing! It's the first snow of the year! Look, it's getting heavier! Let's go out and play!""Sure! I want to take some pictures!"…Half of the people in the library left.Avery walked over to the window and looked out at the snow gracefully fluttering down from the sky.It was a beautiful scene.It was no wonder there was a saying that you shall surely succeed if you asked someone out during the first snow. Things of beauty put everyone in a good mood, after all."Your phone's ringing!" someone said as they came up behind Avery and tapped her on the shoulder.She snapped out of her daze and said, "Oh, thank you!"She then limped her way back to her seat.Avery had not gone to the hospital to get her foot treated till much later.The swelling was so bad that it was taking a while to heal.Even so, none of this affected her da

    "I don't think the reason why Elliot won't see Avery is that he's upset…" Jun said. "His bodyguard told me that his face was covered in scratches from the fall. I doubt someone as proud as him would want anyone seeing him in that condition.""So, that's what it is! I have to tell Avery before she overthinks things," Tammy said, then sent Avery a text telling her what she just heard from Jun.Avery simply replied with a smiling emoji.Tammy: [Elliot's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Have you thought about what you're getting him?]Avery: [Not yet. I don't know what to give him.]Tammy: [Since it's getting cold out, you should try knitting him a sweater!]Avery: [Are you serious? Who wears knitted sweaters anymore?!]Tammy: [Just do it. Men like stuff like that.]Avery: [Problem is, I don't know a thing about knitting!]Tammy: [The people selling the yarn would teach you! Or you could look for tutorials online. You're a smart girl. You'll figure it out!]Avery: [Why

    "I prescribed some medication to help, but he won't take them," said the doctor with a frown. "He won't get better if he continues to refuse help.""I'll talk to him tomorrow," said Rosalie."I heard that he listens to Miss Avery. Maybe we should—""Absolutely not!" Rosalie snapped furiously. "She's the reason my son is like this. That woman brings nothing but bad luck!"The doctor did not argue.His only responsibility was to Elliot's health. "I know you didn't mean to take her side…" Rosalie said as she tried to quickly reach a compromise. "Let's see if he listens to me tomorrow."She only hoped for her son's speedy recovery.Everything else could wait.…After Avery took a shower, she walked to the window and looked outside.The snow on the ground looked like a layer of silver powder that illuminated the night.She felt a strange compulsion rise within her.She picked up her phone and wanted so badly to give Elliot a call.She wanted to hear his voice.After some tho

    "Yes, sir," Chad responded.Soon after, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Elliot.As Chad exited the room, he bumped into Chelsea who was charging toward Elliot’s office.She was not wearing any makeup, and her face looked unusually haggard.Chad approached her, intending to speak to her, but in the end, he did not say anything. Chelsea entered Elliot's office and shut the door behind her."I'm sorry, Elliot," she said in a hoarse voice as she stood in front of Elliot. "This was all due to my brother's scheme. He knew that you were still recovering, so he made you go up that hill. It's an especially steep hill. We don't usually go up there ourselves. He wanted you dead."Elliot stared silently at her pale face, then said, "I know.""I'm sorry. He won't apologize to you. He already left the country." There was a lump in Chelsea's throat as she spoke. "Please forgive my family, Elliot. My father's getting old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the backlash. If you h

    Elliot was lying through his teeth, but Ben had no reply.Of all the years they had known each other, Ben had never once seen Elliot in a sweater.Although, perhaps a sweater that Avery knitted for him was much more meaningful than one that was bought with money."Your mom called me saying your nephew was discharged from the hospital," Ben said. "She wants you to go home for dinner tonight.""She can tell me that herself," Elliot said."Did she upset you recently? She was pretty cautious when she talked to me earlier. Don't be mad at your mom, Elliot. There's nothing like a mother's love in this world—""Please stop talking."Ben burst into laughter."Do you want to go back to the old mansion for dinner with Avery?"Elliot thought for a moment, then said, "Didn't you say she's been busy knitting?""That's true! There's only a week left. I wonder how she's doing."…When Elliot arrived at the old mansion that night, Rosalie was beside herself with joy.Everyone else, on the

    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
