Chapter 1343

Author: Simple Silence
"My son says that it will happen soon." Elliot did not know what Hayden's plan was. All he knew was that Hayden was confident of its success. "Latest would be the day after tomorrow. Once Christopher is dead, the Goulds will be in a mess. I want to use that opportunity to send Avery and my son away."

Nick sighed. "Your son is barely ten years old, right? Why do you believe him?"

"Why shouldn't I believe him?"

"We'll talk about it once Christopher is dead!" Nick sneered. "If Gary had not protected him, he would have been dead a long time ago! By the way, are you planning on returning to Aryadelle with Avery?"

"I can't leave," Elliot said calmly. "My connections with the Goulds run too deep. Even if I were to return to Aryadelle, Gary would just hunt me down there. I want to put an end to the things we started here."

Nick chuckled. "Great! A long overdue reshuffling!"

Avery woke up at seven the next morning. She felt a dull ache in her chest. She missed Hayden. After hesitating

    Christopher stopped just as he was about to take a swig of water. He suddenly grew suspicious. "Darling, why did you bring me water?"His normal self would never have suspected his daughter of anything and would have taken anything she had given him. However, he could not forget the death countdown on his phone! He had to keep vigilant till three in the morning!He needed to know who was trying to take his life! If he was not dead by three that morning, it just meant that the hacker was a lying idiot! Also, if he was not dead by three, it proved that the hacker was Elliot's son— Hayden.Hayden was barely ten years old. "It is amazing that he can hack into my phone at such a young age, but that is all he is capable of! Kill me?! He does not have the skills for that!" thought Christopher smugly. Christopher's daughter blinked her huge eyes. "My teacher told me to serve Mommy and Daddy water. I have to take a video and show it to her."Only then did Christopher notice his wife

    Elliot got up from the sofa. He intended to return to his room to get some rest. Dawn was fast approaching, and he still had not gotten any sleep.In a few hours, he would be speaking to Edward and Ted as Gary's representative. That day was destined to be an unusual day, whether Christopher died or not.Just as his hand landed on the doorknob, he heard Hayden's door swing open. He looked to Hayden's room. Their eyes met. Despite not speaking, they knew what weighed on the other's mind.Hayden had not expected Elliot to stay up. He did not think that Elliot would stay up till three in the morning. It looked like Elliot had trusted his plan to work. Elliot, on the other hand, saw the results of the plan in Hayden's expression."Christopher is dead," Hayden said. Elliot immediately looked at his phone. There were no calls or messages."Are you sure?" he asked. "Are you doubting me?" Hayden said coldly."Did you hire someone to do it?" Elliot no longer felt sleepy. He walke

    Elliot did not say anything.He left her bedroom, called the driver, and told him to head over there and check on the situation.The main road connected Gary's and Christopher's mansions."Check on the situation at Gary's house, too.""Yes, Mr. Foster."The nanny, bodyguard, and driver sided with Ruby, and as Ruby was on Elliot's side, they were on his side too. "If anyone stops you and asks you why you are out this late, tell them that you are getting some supper for Ruby.""Okay!"After talking to the driver, Elliot went downstairs. He did not switch on the lights. He wanted to know how Gray was reacting to the news, and he suspected that Gary was spying on him, too. Christopher's death would surely be a huge blow to Gary. Gary had four children— three sons and one daughter. He had lost two of his three sons, and it was the reason why Ruby had told Elliot that Christopher's death would drive her father mad.Elliot was afraid, but at this point in time, he saw no reason to

    Two bodies draped in white cloth lay in Christopher's mansion. A group of people in black knelt beside the bodies. Elliot's gaze fell on the two bodies. "One must be Christopher, and the other must be the butler," thought Elliot. Gary was sitting on the sofa that was located in corner of the room. He was smoking. Shrouded in smoke, Elliot could not see Gary's face.Ruby bent down. She saw the bodies. Sobbing, she knelt beside Christopher. "Christopher, I don't want you to die! What is going to happen to me and Dad?! Christopher, wake up!"Ruby did not fake her grief. Even if she was Elliot's wife, the twenty years she had had with Christopher and the relationship they had shared could not be faked. Even when Christopher's bullet had struck her, her first thought had been about how she could not allow it to sour the relationship between Christopher and Elliot.Elliot walked over to Gary. Before he could say anything, Gary passed him an identity card."Have a look." Gary narrowed

    Hayden was in the mansion. He was done packing his bags, but he could not fall asleep. He sat on his chair, holding his backpack. He was waiting for the right moment to leave. Just when he thought that Elliot was not going to come for him, the door swung open. Elliot appeared before him."Have you packed?""I finished packing long ago." Hayden got down from the chair and walked over to Elliot. He studied Elliot. "Can we go now?""Hmm." Elliot hesitated for a while before saying, "You will leave for Aryadelle tonight." "Is Mommy not coming with me?" asked Hayden. "I've already spoken to Mommy, and she has agreed to return with me!" "She can't leave for the time being," sighed Elliot, coming clean. "You'll leave first. I'll find a way to get her back to Aryadelle once you're gone."Hayden saw how calm Elliot was, and he instantly understood what had happened. "Did I cause you trouble by killing Christopher?"Elliot shook his head. "If I were you, I would have done the same

    Avery had lost her appetite, but she knew she had an uphill battle to fight. "Sandwich and milk.""Why are you always eating this?" the bodyguard teased."Then, just bring something up."After the call, Avery went to the bathroom to wash up. When the bodyguard brought her breakfast up, she had already changed her clothes. Jed had followed the bodyguard."Close the door," Avery said. Jed closed the door, and the three of them sat together, discussing the events of last night."I think this matter is quite serious. Why don't you two leave?" Avery said as she ate her breakfast. "I don't want to drag you two down."The bodyguard and Jed looked at each other. The bodyguard said, "If we're going to leave you— the patient— here alone, how can we call ourselves men?"Jed said, "Since I have decided to operate on you, I will when you leave."Avery was moved by their answer. "I just sent Elliot a message, but he hasn't replied yet. The sentiment is pointless. You should leave while t

    Gary knew that Elliot's verbal agreement to give up everything and stay in Ylore would never be enough.Gary was not only selfish, but he was also very crafty. He knew that the only way to make Elliot his— besides making him his son-in-law— was to have him put down roots.It meant that Elliot would need to father the future generation. If Elliot had a child in Ylore, he would not think of going back to Aryadelle."We'll talk outside, after Christopher's funeral." Ted scanned his surroundings and said in a low voice, "Anyway, your son did what we all couldn't. Your son is going to have a bright future!""Christopher brought it on himself." Elliot put out his cigarette in the ashtray. "If Christopher had not harmed Avery, none of this would have happened." "Your son is amazing. My son is five years older than your son, but all he does is play video games all day long. It's causing me a headache. How did you raise such a fine son?"The topic had suddenly turned into an exchange of

    Avery nodded."Avery, if you get the chance to leave— right now, will you take it?" Jed looked up to see a small bird flying freely in the sky.Avery followed his gaze, looking at the open skies, and said cautiously, "Back when everyone was telling me how dangerous of a place this was, I ignored them. But now, I have realized how right they are. This place really is dangerous. You could die here. I don't mind risking my life, but I can't risk the lives of others." She had been the one to ask her bodyguard and Jed to accompany her to Ylore. She had to take them with her when she left.If an opportunity arose, she would not hesitate to take it."You can't just simply risk your life either," Jed said. "We will find a way. We will surely leave this place.""Hmm."There were fewer people than average on the streets that day. Although it was sunny, an ominous cloak covered the city. "Do you think someone might be secretly following me?" said Avery, looking around.The bodyguard fo

    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
