Once Adrian returned to his room after getting some water, Cole turned to his father."We could use Uncle Adrian, Dad," Cole revealed his plan. "Avery Tate's biggest flaw is that she's softhearted."Henry listened and pondered for a few seconds, then said, "How do we use him? Your uncle's an idiot. He can't do anything at all!""We don't need him to do anything. We just need to use him to threaten Avery." Cole narrowed his cunning eyes and said, "Aunt Shea died in order to save Avery's son. She must feel a lot of guilt about it. When she treated Uncle Adrian's illness, she didn't know about his true identity. She probably treated his illness out of the guilt she felt toward Aunt Shea."Henry's expression turned heavy. "She feels guilty toward your aunt, not your uncle. It would definitely work if we used your aunt against her, but it might not work if we used your uncle. Don't tell me you want us to use your uncle's life to threaten her?""We don't really kill him, of course. Aver
Avery was extremely moved by Elliot's profession of love for her that night.However, she also felt sorry that the wedding he had prepared for so long was ruined.Even if they had gone through with the wedding that afternoon, she would still feel uneasy.Henry had gone too far!He could have chosen any time to expose the scandals, but he deliberately chose to do it on this day!"I used to think that most people in life are good people, but some people manage to renew my knowledge of bad people over and over again." Avery raised her glass and took another sip."Are you talking about Elliot's big brother, Henry?" Tammy asked. "He's a pretty disgusting man, indeed. Even if Elliot isn't his biological brother, Elliot has been treating him pretty well over the years! He didn't take any of that into account. He really was too cruel.""If Rosalie was still alive, she definitely wouldn't have allowed Henry to behave that way.""That's right. Don't be upset, Avery. After everything that
Elliot did not expect Avery to be thinking of these things in her drunken state of mind.He stroked her reddened cheek with his hand, then said, "You've had too much to drink, Avery. Don't you feel bad?""I do." Avery gazed at Elliot with glistening eyes. "I feel really bad seeing your image ruined.""I'll be fine after a few days. I'll ask the butler to bring some soup to sober you up." Elliot's heart ached as he watched Avery's confused expression. "Lie down on the bed and don't move around.""Where are you going?""I'm going to call the butler," Elliot said as he dialed a number on the room's phone.The butler very quickly answered the call.As Elliot asked the butler for some soup, he could barely finish his sentence when Avery cried out in a spoiled voice, "I want lollipop, Mr. Butler!"The butler was taken aback.Elliot turned around and gazed in frustration at Avery's drunken face. "Are you sure you want a lollipop?""I'm feeling really hot. If you don't let me have a
Elliot was so shocked that his back broke into a cold sweat.He had been sitting by the bed and eating the lollipop in pain as he scrolled through his phone when a sudden shriek came from behind him. Who would be able to handle that kind of shock?He brought the half-eaten lollipop over to Avery."Why did you wake up so quickly?" He saw the anger in her eyes, then cooed, "I was worried it would melt, so I helped you eat some of it.""Why didn't you just wake me?" Avery snatched the lollipop over and took a big bite. "I told you I was hot but you still ate it. Couldn't you have just asked the butler to send up another one?""Don't eat too much of that stuff." Elliot caressed Avery's forehead. "Do you still feel dizzy?""I do!" Avery frowned. "Eating something cold like this helps.""There's some soup that can help you sober up. Do you want some?""I'll have it later." Avery glanced at the insulated container. It was a pretty little pink container. "What kind of soup is it?""I'
At eleven that morning, Avery was awakened by a sudden pang of hunger.When she woke up and saw the empty room, she was slightly confused.Her temples were aching. She tried to recall the events of the night before, but her headache was so bad that she could not remember a thing.She got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.In the living room, Mrs. Cooper was feeding Robert.When she saw Avery, Mrs. Cooper immediately said, "You're awake, Avery? Does your head hurt? Do you want some painkillers?"Avery shook her head. She had a headache, but it was something she could endure."Where's Elliot? Why can't I find him?" she asked as she glanced around the villa.However, she was not as worried as she was when she did not see him for even a moment yesterday.After all, the wedding was over. They also increased security, so he should be safe."He went out this morning. He said he had to stop by the police station," said Mrs. Copper. "Give him a call if you're worried about him.
Elliot's deep voice instantly calmed Avery down."I'm fine… I heard you went to the police station this morning. What happened?" she asked."Nathan White said he was the one who killed Eason Foster," he explained. "He came to the station to turn himself in this morning, so I came to take a look."Avery was stunned.Nathan was the one who killed Eason Foster?How did this happen?"I'll be back soon. I'll talk to you then," Elliot said, then hung up the phone.Avery held her phone in her hand and walked out of the room in a faze.If Nathan really was the one who murdered Eason Foster, then this had nothing to do with Elliot!People would stop chastising Elliot, too.This was amazing news for Elliot, but why did Nathan willingly turn himself in?Did he suddenly grow a conscience after seeing Elliot suffer?Elliot returned to the villa shortly after.When Avery saw him, she immediately asked, "What's going on? Why would Nathan willingly surrender like that? Who made him turn h
"Do you remember what happened after you got drunk last night, Avery?" Elliot casually switched the subject.Avery's face instantly flushed a crimson red."Mrs. Cooper already told me about it. You don't have to bring it up again.""You told me that three kids weren't enough for you, and that you wanted to have three more." Elliot chuckled lightly as he gazed at her reddened cheeks. "You said you wanted to have more kids for as long as you can. I said that would make you a sow, then…"Avery was shocked to the core by his absurd words."Then, you began to snort like a pig and even asked me if you did well." At this point, Elliot could no longer hold back his laughter. "If you dare get drunk ever again, I'm taking a video of the entire thing.""You're just making all of this up since I don't remember anything, right? How could I possibly want thirty kids? I wouldn't spout nonsense like that no matter how drunk I was!" Avery said with certainty."Do you still want to go on our hone
Lilith's eyes were reddened with tears."My brother left. He said he didn't want to stay here for another second longer, but I didn't want to go with him. He won't take care of me at all. I'm better off staying here… Dad told me yesterday that Elliot Foster will take care of me."Ben heard what she said, but he still did not understand. "If you're not leaving, then why are you here with your suitcase?"Lilith sobbed and said, "My brother sold off the house. I have nowhere else to go now. He gave me some money, but I'm all by myself. I'm so scared! Please take me to Elliot Foster. I don't know how to contact him."Ben was speechless.Elliot had already handed this matter over to him to deal with, so he could not possibly bring Lilith to see Elliot.Elliot had no relationship whatsoever with the White family siblings.He had simply planned to send them a monthly allowance to fulfill Nathan's request."Elliot just got married, so he's very busy right now. Just let me know if you h
