"Then kill me first!" Ruby prevented him from leaving. "Paul, I was the one who did the deed! You saw me feeding my dad the poison…""You stupid woman! You are beyond saving!" Paul shouted.Ruby broke down in tears. "Paul... Brother... I'm sorry... I should have talked to you about this first...""Don't call me your brother! You've really lost your mind this time! How did Father end up with a traitor for a daughter?!" Paul said contemptuously.It was the first time Paul had raised his voice against her. All her strength fled her legs, and she fell. "I'm the one who did this... Just blame it on me if you want to... Don't blame Elliot...""You are still speaking for him?! What spell has he put you under? Ruby, don't you know that he will instantly return to Aryadelle? Are you really that stupid, or are you just avoiding reality? If only Father hadn't stopped him, he would have been long gone! Do you really think that he is going to stay with you now that Father is dead? He doesn't

"Paul! Stop it!" Ruby roared.She darted toward Elliot and stood before him.Paul stopped, but it was clear that he was still furious."If you kill him, I won't let you live!" Ruby glared at Paul viciously. "You are an outsider! You have no right to involve yourself in matters that concern the Goulds!" The word 'outsider' lanced Paul's heart with pain. He stared at Ruby’s familiar face and felt as though he was looking at a stranger.Ever since her marriage to Elliot, she had transformed into a completely different person. She cared only for Elliot. She loved him to the point where she would give him everything the Goulds owned if he asked for it. As an outsider, Paul could only stand by and watch her make a fool of herself, over and over again.Just as he was about to leave the room, Ruby sobbed, "Paul, don't go!" as she stared at his back. Her words might have been harsh, but she had not actually wanted to chase him away. Fury had filled her when she had seen all the blood

Layla pouted. "You should ask my mom that!""I dare not," the manager said while chuckling. "I'm afraid that I'll make her feel sad if I ask her that question." "But I'm sad, too, now that you have asked me this question!" Layla said gloomily."Do you miss your dad?" the manager asked. "He would often tell me how much he loves you. He even said that the only reason he makes plenty of money is so you can spend it all." "Really?" Layla batted her big, bright eyes and asked, "What else did he say?""Your dad doesn't say much, but whenever he talks about you, he gets really excited. He would always say that he loves his daughter best." Layla felt a lump in her throat."Do you want to call your dad? I'm sure he would be really happy if you called him," said the manager. "Your mom has to look after your brother, but I'm sure you can get your mom's phone and call your dad." "Uncle, I think it's you who wants to talk to my dad, right?" Layla saw right through him.The manager flus

"Avery Tate?" A woman's voice came through the speakers.Layla was stunned as she had not expected a woman to answer the phone."Could this be Daddy's new wife?" thought Layla."Who are you?" asked Layla with a ferocious scowl. Ruby froze. She had thought that the call had come from Avery, and she had not expected to hear the voice of a young girl. "Could this be Avery and Elliot's daughter, Layla Tate?" thought Ruby.Ruby adjusted herself swiftly and said, "You are Layla, right? I'm your dad's wife. My name is Ruby Gould. I'm not sure if your mom has mentioned me to you."When her guess was proven right, Layla's brows furrowed and her expression darkened. "I'm calling my dad, not you! Why are you answering the call?!" yelled Layla as she lost control of herself.Avery heard Layla shouting and hurried over with Robert in her arms.Noticing that Layla was emotional, Ruby calmly said, "Layla, I know that you can't accept me, but I'm your dad's legal wife, and I'm pregnant with

No one would have dared touch his phone without his permission. The only other explanation would be that he had been forced into handing over his phone."Avery, the only reason Elliot had insisted on you returning to Aryadelle was that he did not want you affecting our lives. He was not concerned for your safety. After you had left, he promised me he would stay in with me and our child. He told me that he would never leave us. Please don't disrupt our lives from now on. If it's alimony you want, you can get it from me. I can pay you however much you want, so don't bother Elliot anymore! He doesn't even want to speak to you." Ruby began to sound increasingly impatient."Hand him the phone! If he tells me that himself, I promise that I will never bother the two of you ever again!" snapped Avery."I'm sorry, but he won't be able to speak to you. I made him promise me that he would never talk to you again! I'm pregnant now and get emotional easily, so he has been spoiling me rotten, not

As soon as Mike asked the question, Layla started crying even harder."Can't you keep that mouth of yours under control?" Avery said.Mike immediately kept quiet."Alright, Layla, stop crying. It's not that big a deal," said Avery, consoling her. "Your dad told me that Ruby is carrying a test-tube baby, and she is not carrying his baby. Let's trust Daddy on this, okay?"Layla buried her face into the crook of Mike's neck and said in a muffled voice, "I don't trust him! From now on, I'm trusting anyone but him!""Darling, it's okay if you don't believe him, but don't let this get to you. You were happy even without a dad, right?""That's because I had Hayden...""Your brother will be back at the end of this year," Avery said. "He'll be back soon. Even if your older brother isn't around, you have Robert!""Robert is so little!" Layla said in displeasure."But he loves you just as much as Hayden does! Didn't you see him crying with you?" "That's because I startled him!" said La

Layla was not a clueless child. She had always been very aware of her public image. It proved that the telephone call had greatly upset her. All this while, Layla had seen Elliot as belonging to her, and when Ruby had told her that she and Elliot were having a baby, Layla realized that Elliot would no longer belong to her alone. She felt as though her favorite toy was being taken away from her. No child would not grow upset when such a thing happened.After the shower, Avery and Layla walked out of the children's room. Robert had finished his bath as well and was having his milk."Avery, go shower! I will play with Robert for a bit after he finishes his milk before putting him to bed," Mrs. Cooper said."Sure."Avery patted Robert on the head and returned to her room. After closing the door behind her, she took out her phone and located Elliot's number.She wanted to call him, but she thought that it would be rather awkward if Ruby were to answer the call, again.

She wanted to head to the airport right away and get on the first flight leaving for Ylore, but she stopped herself from acting on such thoughts.She had to talk to her daughter first, or Layla would be devastated.The past Avery would have dropped everything and run to Ylore, but she could not do that anymore. All the things she had gone through these past few months had made her realize that she could not act on feelings. She could not neglect others and the same applied to her children and Elliot. The next morning, Avery got up early and went to wake Layla up."Layla, your dad is hurt so I need to see him," she said while sitting by the bed. "This time, I'm going to bring him back."Layla blinked dazedly, unable to react. "Oh...""My plane leaves later, so I will be leaving for the airport once I see you to school," said Avery. "Uncle Mike will stay here once I leave. You can tell him or Uncle Eric if anything happens—""What?! Mommy, you are leaving?" said Layla, complete

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
