"Avery, if you really want to make me happy, then you'll pray that my daughter is a beauty. I know Jun too well! Even if he used up the luck of his future, he will not be greater than your husband in this life!" Tammy smiled sweetly and said, "Now that I have a daughter, I no longer fuss so much about Jun.""That's good too. You won't place so much pressure on Jun.""Hmm. I wanted to see Shea's baby a few days ago, but my mom didn't let me. She thinks that the artificial womb is not going to work. She said that after the transfer to the artificial womb, the child won't last a week…" Tammy took a jab at her mother, "My mother's values are too old-fashioned.""Her worries are not without reason, because we are not too confident about the artificial womb. Compared to aborting the child, at least now it has a chance of surviving.""Hmm. You have been in the hospital for a week. Did Elliot say anything?" Tammy asked.Avery blushed a little. "What can he say? I'm not playing hide and se

Ben's words worried Elliot even more. He was worried for Ivy too. He initially thought that Ruby would take proper care of Ivy, seeing how Ivy was her biological daughter.If Ruby actually used Ivy to set him up, he would surely find a way to take Ivy away from Ylore.But if Ruby was dead… He could not afford to assume things.Ruby could die, but Ivy could not! "Elliot, do you want to hear our conversation recording?" Ben was apprehensive. "I plan to find someone to process the recording of my conversation with Ruby. I want to find out what's the sound in the background."Elliot looked up at him. "Do it!""Mm." Ben walked to the side and made a call.Elliot looked at the time. It would take half an hour to get from Nick's place to Ruby's; only five minutes had passed.Ben made the call, took a glass, and poured himself some water. He gulped it down.The atmosphere in the office was eerily quiet. They both said nothing, waiting for replies.About ten minutes later, Ben fina

What was going on at Ruby's?"She's not picking up your calls either. I think something fishy is going on." Ben furrowed his brows. A bad feeling rose in his heart. "Let's wait! We'll soon have news from Nick."Ten minutes later, Nick called."Elliot, the man I sent to check on Ruby said that her gate was shut. They did not find anything strange." Nick yawned. "Do you know what time is it over here? Why are you calling at this hour? Everyone is asleep!"Elliot said, "Nick, an hour ago, Ruby called, asking for help. I heard the recording of the conversation. I heard a gunshot."Nick was instantly serious. "But the man I sent there has returned. He said that he didn't find anything strange. You know as well that the Goulds have bodyguards. My bodyguards won't even dare to disturb them unless I head over there myself.""Then, please, head over there!" Elliot said. "I am sure I heard a gunshot.""Tomorrow morning! I'm out now. I drank too much while socializing tonight. My head hurt

Tammy laughed uncontrollably."Avery, I feel much happier talking to you.""If you're bored next time, just come over. I can't go shopping with you, but I can kill time with you." Avery took out a bag of fruits from the side and placed them on the coffee table. "What do you want to eat? I'll peel it for you.""My blood sugar level is quite high. My mom doesn't let me have any fruits." Tammy was confused. "Avery, tell me. I'm not that fat, right? Why do I have so many conditions after I got pregnant? Not only is my blood sugar level high, but my blood pressure is also high. Not only that, but the baby in me was also on the smaller side during the early stages of my pregnancy, but now, she's on the bigger side. A few days ago, when I went for a checkup, her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. I don't think I'll go into labor when the time comes."Avery said, "All these are small issues. Even if you don't go into labor, it won't matter. Haven't you already decided to do a Cesa

Avery drove away from the Lynch mansion. Her mind suddenly thought back to the piece of news she had learned in the lab that noon.A middle-aged woman had bumped into a young girl on the streets. She had felt that the young girl looked similar to her, so she had approached her. Turns out, the girl was her biological daughter!The news had not specified why mother and daughter had split up in the first place. It only stated that the middle-aged woman had not known that she had a daughter living somewhere else.The moment she saw that piece of news, Avery's mind involuntarily thought about Ivy! Although the idea was crazy and absurd, the moment she had seen Ivy's photo a few days ago, Avery had had the inkling that Ivy was her child.Avery's mind was a mess.Could Ivy be her child? If Ivy was her child, her misunderstanding with Elliot would be automatically cleared.However, could that be possible? Avery did not have confidence in the idea, yet, from the moment it had appeared i

Seeing Mike's reply, Avery calmed down a little.Since she already had her suspicions, she should find a way to confirm them. Whether or not it was as she thought it was, at least, after confirming it, she would no longer think about it.However, she needed to look after Shea's child at the moment. She could not go to Ylore.She had to wait until Shea's child had a smooth birth, then only could she make plans.Perhaps, she had been thinking too deeply into this matter; her head hurt a lot.She walked over to the bed. She planned to sleep for a while to see if she could relieve the pain.At Sterling Group, after Ben received the call from Ruby asking for help, he called her back almost immediately. The call connected, but no one picked up.Under normal circumstances, if one saw an incoming call, one would either pick up or reject the call.If they truly did not want to answer the call, they could block the number. That way, the other party would not be able to call back.Howeve

Elliot put the call on loudspeaker. He answered the call.Nick's voice instantly rang out, "Elliot! Something terrible has happened! The Goulds have been destroyed!"Although there was only Ruby left in the Gould family, the perpetrator had also killed all of the Goulds' servants.When Elliot heard what Nick had said, his heart turned cold. An icy aura overflowed from him.Ben yelled out in anger, "Who did it?! Who the f*ck did it? Ivy was an infant! Did they not even let a newborn child go? F*ck!"Nick said with pity and confusion, "For now, I don't know who did it. I asked Edward. He said he knew nothing about it. After Gary died, he went abroad to develop a new project. He is not in the country most of the time, so this must have been done by someone else."Elliot and Ben were so stunned by this sudden bad news that they were in a daze. If it was not Edward, who had done it? Could it have been Mike? How could Mike do such a cruel thing?"Ivy… I haven't seen her for now. I'm a

Avery barely gave it any thought. While she could still roughly make out figures, she immediately looked for her phone. She found her phone under the pillow and turned it on. Her screen was right in front of her, but the pictures and words were blurry!She fumbled her way to her contacts. She had many contacts. She could not locate Elliot's contact!The fear of powerlessness overwhelmed her. Two streaks of tears streamed down her face. Was she going blind?Had her previous sickness not recovered but worsened?She cried for a while before reaching out to wipe her tears. When she opened her eyes once more, her sight was slightly clearer than before. She placed her phone closer to her. She could roughly see the words on the screen. She took the opportunity to locate Elliot's number and rang him up.At the same time, Elliot and Ben reached the airport. They were about to fly to Ylore.When his phone rang, Elliot saw Avery's contact. He swallowed.If she had not called him, he ha

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
