"I am." There was no reason for Avery to hide her true feelings in front of Elliot. "I'm afraid that our peaceful lives will be ruined. This has been the happiest time since we've been together. I don't want anything to ruin it, but I know it definitely will be.""Cole would not show up here for no reason."He and Henry must have some sort of scheme," thought Avery. Avery had a strong feeling that Henry would reveal all of Elliot's secrets tomorrow.Henry chose tomorrow to do this because the resort will be the most crowded place at the time.All major media outlets would be present, so revealing things tomorrow would have the biggest impact."Our lives won't be ruined as long as you and the children are by my side." Elliot's voice was low and hoarse but filled with magnetism."I know things won't change between us, but I don't want you to have to suffer such major scrutiny. Even if the truth is exposed, and a majority of people feel the same as me and don't think you were in t
"Why would people criticize him?" Layla took Avery's words seriously, and she looked sad. Avery did not know how to explain things to her daughter.She worried that if she revealed everything to Layla tonight will make it difficult for her to fall asleep, so she held her tongue."It's nothing. I was just speaking hypothetically. You have to remember that your father is a good man. Don't dislike him no matter how other people criticize him.""Okay." Layla was confused, but she nodded her head and said, "I'll listen to you, Mommy."Once Avery finished helping Layla with her bath, she tucked her into bed.It was already past ten by the time Avery returned to the master bedroom.Elliot pointed at the midnight snack that the butler had sent over and asked, "Do you want to have something to eat?"Avery shook her head and said, "I gain weight easily if I eat this late at night. I want to be the most beautiful bride tomorrow. Don't tempt me with food.""I'll ask the butler to take it
Elliot very quickly answered his phone."Where did you run off to, Elliot?" Avery's tight chest slightly relaxed.She was so nervous earlier that she thought that her call might not get through."I'm going to pick up a guest. Wait in the villa and don't wander around," Elliot said in a calm voice."Alright. Did Henry contact you?" Avery asked in a low voice."He didn't."Henry did not contact Elliot, but his uncle did.His uncle contacted him because of Henry.His uncle had arrived at the resort the day before, but he was not at the resort at that moment.He had told Elliot that Henry wanted to see him and that he had to go and meet him.Henry was willing to negotiate with Elliot rather than going forward with the public exposal. Elliot did not want Avery to worry, so he decided to go and see what requests Henry would make.At a restaurant outside of the resort, Henry, Cole, and a few of the Foster family elders were sitting at a dining table.The moment Elliot entered th
It was no wonder Henry did not contact Elliot for a while. His request required a large amount of courage!"Do you think your request is reasonable, Henry?" Elliot's eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder. "You make it sound like you were the one who gave me that one and a half million. Your mother didn't ask me for an IOU back when she gave me that money.""It looks like you have no plans on returning that money, then!" Henry's voice was trembling with rage."If you insist, then, of course, I would give the money back to you. I can give you one and a half million with interest. However, if you're thinking of getting a share of my company, then you might as well just run back to that rented apartment of yours and dream on!"Elliot clenched his fists tightly. His patience was wearing thin.Henry did not expect Elliot to act this arrogantly despite Henry having a huge advantage over him."Is he truly not worried about the truth being exposed?!" thought Henry. "Elliot Foste
The press conference attended by several media outlets was also streaming live on the internet.The more people who knew, the bigger the impact!Henry was determined to fight Elliot to the death at the moment, so his emotions were particularly intense.He provided the media with plenty of evidence to support his claims, among which was a DNA test and the bank notice that contained the amount which had been transferred to Elliot. Once he revealed the evidence, Henry turned to face the cameras with teary eyes. "Elliot Foster stole my brother's life away from him, he then used my mother to form Sterling Group. Since my mother has passed away, there is no way for me to find out how my biological brother was switched with the driver's son. However, now that the truth has been revealed, I no longer want to continue suffering! Even if Elliot Foster does not return the money he owes our family, he must offer an explanation for my father's death!"The live streaming video instantly blew u
Tammy froze in stunned silence."Henry was telling the truth?"Elliot is not a biological son of the Foster family? Elliot killed Eason Foster?"Oh my god! Oh my god!" thought Tammy. If Tammy had not been holding onto the beam next to her, her ankles would have given out, and she would have fallen to the ground.This news was shocking! Her head was spinning, and she felt like she was in the middle of a nightmare.Once Avery left the villa, the bodyguard immediately ran after her."Please calm down, Miss Tate! You'll gain too much attention running out like this!" said the bodyguard. "Mr. Foster went out, but he shouldn't have gone far. Give him a call. He'll probably be back soon."Avery's chest was rising and falling rapidly.She pulled out her phone and dialed Elliot's number.The call went through, but there was no answer."Go back and wait in the villa, Miss Tate. I'll go look for him! I'll get him to call you when I find him." The bodyguard led Avery toward the villa.
Back in the villa, Avery received a call from the bodyguard."I found Mr. Foster, Miss Tate! But it's chaos out here right now!"The bodyguard's voice came through the phone accompanied by a loud racket."What's going on?!" Avery shot to her feet from the couch."I have no idea. A bunch of people just showed up out of nowhere and started calling Mr. Foster a murderer! They don't look like a normal crowd… They're causing a ruckus even with the police here right now!" the bodyguard said, then suddenly let out a low roar as if he had just started a fight with somebody.Avery hung up the phone and immediately made her way out of the villa."Where are you going, Avery?!" When Tammy saw Avery dashing away, she quickly ran after her."Elliot's in danger! I have to find him!" Avery gathered up her bulky dress and rushed out of the villa.The moment she was out the door, she suddenly stopped.Eric was blocking her and in his arms was Layla. "Are you going to look for Elliot?" Eric w
The violent mob was very quickly pushed back.Avery pushed through the crowd, rushed to Elliot's side, and pulled his rigid body into her arms."Elliot! Don't be afraid! They're just a bunch of ignorant thugs! You're not a criminal! You're not!"Even after the perpetrators were dragged off by the police, the surrounding crowd did not put their phones away.The video of Elliot being surrounded and beaten up was quickly spread online.News like this where someone high and mighty was dragged off their pedestal always caused heated discussion.[Oh my god! Is that really Elliot Foster? He looks so miserable! I can't believe he was beaten up by a crowd in public like that… If I were him, I wouldn't dare show my face in public again!][Did you guys see how he didn't dare fight back? It's proof he really is a murderer!][What a relief! The law might not be able to punish him, but everyone carries justice in their hearts. Death to b*st*rds like him!][Wasn't he supposed to get married
