Chapter 1333

Author: Simple Silence
"By the way, didn't you mention that Elliot pays you every month? Is he still doing so?"

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know! My wife manages my bank account."

"Whatever. It's not that important. I should give you a bonus once we get back." Avery realized that her bodyguard had not rested and had even sacrificed his time with his family. She decided that she was going to reward him with a big bonus once they got back.

"Now that I know that, I won't dare force you to return to Aryadelle," the bodyguard teased.

"Let's just eat! Once we find Hayden, I will consider going back to Aryadelle with him."

Though their plans had upset Avery, she was greatly inspired by them. She was not in great danger at the moment, and she did not want to endanger herself in the future. She could not drag her bodyguard and Jed down with her.

At the same time, Christopher was having dinner at home. His new phone was working just fine earlier, but by the time he was done, he picked

    Elliot looked at her quietly and waited for her to explain."I want Avery to leave Ylore, but it's not only because I'm afraid that you'll fall in love with her again! I'm worried that if she stays, she will affect your career," said Ruby. "Elliot, you are my husband now. You are the most important person to me, but my brother doesn't see you the way I do. He sees you as his enemy. If I have to choose between you and my brother, I will definitely choose you. You have lost everything in Aryadelle, so I want you to get back on your feet here. My father trusts you, so can you refrain from enraging him before he actually hands his power over to you?"Ruby's words changed the way Elliot viewed her."I actually wanted your plan to work, because I want her to leave, too," he said.Ruby was relieved. "I thought that you would be angry with me for doing what I wanted...""You overstepped your boundaries; you should have told me ahead of time.""I will tell you before I do anything next ti

    "We will see when she comes back! She might not love money that much, but she still cares a lot about Tate Industries. Her father left her this company right before he passed away, so she is definitely going to be really sad if Tate Industries goes bankrupt."In Ylore, Christopher had not slept for the whole night.At midnight, he fulfilled his promise and killed a servant with his own hands.If he had to suffer, everyone at home would have to suffer with him. He stayed awake until morning and as he stared at the time slipping away from the timer, he came up with a plan.The hacker had to be in Ylore. Christopher knew that his enemy was hidden in the dark while he was an easy target out in the open. He simply had to comb through the information of people that arrived into Ylore in the past few days to narrow down his search.At noon, his bodyguard delivered a big pile of documents to Christopher."Mr. Gould, here is the information sent by the airport. I have categorized them by

    "This is the same f*cking person!" Christopher compared the photo of Hayden online with the photo on the document and exclaimed.The bodyguard took a look at the photos and felt the same."If this is Hayden Tate, it means that he's been here in Ylore for a couple of days now!" Christopher hissed, "Elliot did a good job hiding him. I didn't even know.""Of course, he doesn't dare let word get out! If this child falls into your hands and the Boss', you are going to get the perfect bargaining chip! You can talk it over with Boss and see if we should capture this child," the bodyguard said.Christopher pulled out his phone, intending to call his father, only to see the death timer. He asked his bodyguard for his phone instead.After he had explained the situation, Gary remained quiet for a few moments and said, "Capture him in secret. If you succeed, Elliot will be our puppet!""I get it! I will send my men to look for him."Christopher could sense the expectation in his father's vo

    Avery did not think that that was a good solution, but there was no other way to hide Hayden. She would not feel safe hiding Hayden anywhere else. At least with Elliot, she could be less concerned. However, there was also Ruby to worry about..."If Elliot told you to send Hayden over, it means that he has reached an agreement with Ruby," said her bodyguard, consoling her. "The women here in Ylore are quite traditional. They are taught to obey their husbands, and most women would have to take their husbands' family names. Had Ruby not been the lady of the Gould family, she would have had to change her surname as well."Avery scowled, "But I can't find Hayden!""Have you tried calling him?""I called him, and his phone was out of service.""Try again, maybe?"Avery immediately unlocked her phone and called Hayden, and this time, he picked up.Once the call was answered, Avery said in excitement, "Hayden! Where are you right now? Christopher already knows that you are here and is s

    Instantly, Elliot focused his attention on Hayden. They had rarely spent time together in private, mainly because Hayden did not like him and would avoid Elliot whenever he had the chance.Because of that, Elliot did not quite know how to face his son. Had it not been for the circumstances, they would not find themselves alone with each other."Do you know how dangerous it is to just come here?!" said Elliot, unable to refrain from reprimanding his son. "Mind your own business!" Hayden said."Didn't you think that your mom would challenge Christopher if he had caught you?" "Christopher wouldn't have been able to capture me even without your help! I wouldn't have come here if my mom hadn't begged me to!"Elliot arched his eyebrow. "So you are refusing to eat because your mom is not begging you to eat? Should I call her now and get her to beg you?"Hayden glared at him coldly. "Leave my mom alone!""I will, but you will need to listen to me while you are here!" Elliot stared

    "You don't know the answer," laughed Avery. "So you still don't remember me. I'm still glad, though, that your attitude towards me has improved so much even if you don't remember me. If I continue to stay here, you will fall in love with me once again.""Avery, is this the right time to talk about this?""What else should we talk about? About you and Ruby Gould?" Avery was on the verge of a mental breakdown. "She is so obedient to you that I feel like her love for you rivals my love."Are you enjoying this? You are out having fun, and you are able to keep your family at the same time," she said sarcastically. "If this carries on, sometime soon… I will give up."Elliot tightened his fingers around the phone."I will wait until the end of this month, at most. If you insist on remaining in Ylore, I will give up. You won't have to fight for over custody of the children, since your wife is very young. I'm sure she will be willing to bear you a dozen children," she said, giving him her

    Half an hour later, Jed woke Avery up. "You fell asleep in the ultrasound room."Avery felt more energized after sleeping for half an hour and said, "How embarrassing. I couldn't sleep at all back in the hotel. Maybe I feel safe with the scent of sterilizer in the hospital.""Maybe! I like the smell of sterilizer as well," Jed said and led her to the elevator."How are the results?" She extended her hand toward him."The machine was broken, and they can't print the results, but the doctor showed me an image of your uterus," said Jed. His voice was flat. "You are fine, and the hormonal imbalance you are experiencing is probably due to stress.""I told you so! I might not be as young, but I'm still considered rather young," she said confidently, before lowering her voice, "I told Elliot today that I will only wait until the end of this month for him."Jed seemed occupied with something else and hummed carelessly in response."By the way, you don't need to take any medicine for now

    Ruby furrowed her brows and asked, "Why are you not asleep yet? It's almost one. Do you always stay up late?"Then, she walked over to the desk.Hayden hesitated for two seconds, debating on whether he should power off his laptop or not. In the end, he decided not to.Ruby had not even graduated college. After she had married Elliot, she had decided to simply drop out of college and stay home.Also, Ruby majored in philosophy. She did not have the expertise to understand the lines of code on the computer screen. "Who got you to come?" Hayden asked Ruby."I… I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that you were taken away by my brother," said Ruby, lying. "So I came over to check on you.""So, are you hoping that I was taken away by your brother or the other way around?" Hayden asked. "If your brother takes me away, Elliot will become the Goulds' puppet, and he will do whatever you ask of him."Ruby was speechless. She never thought that Hayden would say such a thing."Although

    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
