"I have no plans of returning to Aryadelle for the time being." Avery placed some food on Hayden's plate."Oh, then get Layla to come to Bridgedale and visit you during her winter break." Tammy understood Avery's unwillingness to return."I'm only afraid that Elliot won't let her." Elliot's name felt a little awkward in her mouth. Perhaps because their relationship was extremely terrible at that moment, which made her wonder whether they had truly been in love before or not.However, she rarely thought of him anymore. It was not like before when they broke up; her heart would hurt thinking about him. At that moment, other than rarely thinking about him, she did not feel too sad either.As long as Hayden was by her side and she could occasionally see Layla and Robert, it was enough for her. This was the most that she could fight for already."Mommy, once Layla has her winter break, I'll pick her up and bring her over," Hayden said.Elliot did not let Avery get close to Layla, was

Layla's teacher taught literature. When she saw Layla's essay, she did not dare give any marks. If she were to give a mark, would that not be a jab at Elliot?This was why Layla did not pass the essay this time— an unprecedented case."Can you show me her test papers?" Elliot's blood was boiling, but he still wanted to see what his daughter wrote."Come with me." Layla's teacher took Elliot to the teachers' offices. "Other than literature, she did not do well in the other subjects too.""Show me all her test papers.""Okay."When they reached the teachers' offices, Layla's teacher took all her test papers and passed them to Elliot."The questions on the test had been taught in class. Even if some questions might be a little tough, there is no reason to leave it so blank." Her teacher passed Elliot the math quiz. "She even made some mistakes on the simple ones."The worst subject was foreign languages. She always used to get full marks on her foreign language paper because she g

Elliot left the dining hall.When Layla saw his hardened expression, her heart started beating faster. She was not used to him being suddenly so serious."Layla, perhaps your Daddy is looking for you to talk about your Mommy," Mrs. Cooper said to Layla when she saw Layla standing there not moving.Layla pouted and grumbled softly, "I don't think so!"From Elliot's expression, she could roughly guess that it was because of her test results.Since she did that already, she should have been mentally prepared. If Elliot dared to scold her or hit her, she would run away from home immediately and head to Bridgedale to look for her Mommy and Hayden.In Elliot's study, Elliot waited for Layla to enter before closing the door."Why are you closing the door? Open it." Layla looked at the door and sternly commanded.Elliot could only leave the door open.To the public, he was the high and mighty President of the Sterling Group. No one dared to disrespect him. However, at home, he had to

It was a call from Natalie.Natalie had been traveling back and forth between Aryadelle and Bridgedale recently. She had been working very hard to bring down Avery's Alpha Technologies.If Elliot had a huge grudge against Avery, he would surely reward her.Elliot looked at the name on his phone coldly. He hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call."Mr. Foster, the new company in Bridgedale has been successfully set up. We predict that we will officially be able to start next week. Will you attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony?" Natalie asked.Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. He did not want to go to Bridgedale anymore for the time being.More accurately, he did not want to go to Bridgedale unless it was absolutely necessary."Mr. Foster, we have invited many politicians and business partners to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. If you could come—"Elliot interrupted her. "Call Ben and ask if he is free." He hung up.Natalie did not expect that Elliot would not ca

At Bridgedale, a new day arrived. The sun rose.Avery got up and walked over to the windows to pull the curtains apart. The bright sun outside put her in a good mood. She could not help but open the windows. A piercing cold breeze instantly blew in. Her good mood that the sun brought instantly vanished.She closed the window, walked over to the side of her bed, and picked up her phone. She looked at the time.Mrs. Cooper's message instantly appeared before her eyes.[Avery, I hope you're doing well. Layla said that you're doing well. I hope that that is true. Layla and Master Elliot fought today. Layla misses you very much, and she deliberately flunked her exams, hoping that she could use that to threaten him into allowing you to return, or allow her to stay by your side. It did not work.[Master Elliot did not criticize Layla, but she cried terribly. I know that you have always prioritized Layla's education. I hope that you could privately persuade her. At the same time, don't te

Elliot knew that Layla had been secretly calling Avery. Layla did not contact Avery in front of him, so he could not directly interfere with it too. As long as Layla was by his side, he did not care about the other things.However, at that moment, when he heard Robert loudly calling Mommy, his heart hammered wildly in his chest.He stood up from his chair unable to control himself!…When Avery saw Robert on the call, she could no longer talk to Layla about her studies. She also noticed how Robert was a little distant, and she felt bad. She wanted to push herself through the screen to give them a hug, but that was delusional thinking.She had only been apart from Robert for half a year and already Robert was a little distant. If she were to be apart from him for a longer period, would Robert treat her like Layla treated Elliot?After talking for about twenty minutes or so, Robert became irritable. He started annoying Layla, so Avery hung up.Coming out of her bedroom, she went t

When Ben saw Mike, he immediately hung up.Mike walked over to him and measured him up. "Should we head outside to talk? I think you're up to something bad.""If I were up to something bad, I wouldn't have come to your territory." Ben pulled Mike along toward the lift. "Do you have any good tea? We can have tea and talk at the same time.""Only old men like you like tea." Mike did not let go of a single chance to tease Ben. "Who asked you to come? Elliot?""Why would you mention him for no reason?" Ben did not mind Mike's jabs. "Then, what do you have to drink here? I'm a little sleepy.""Don't tell me you've just landed?" Mike looked at him. "What on earth could be so urgent that you come over once you land?""Nothing urgent. I'm just feeling guilty and sorry for Avery, but I'm embarrassed to tell her that." Ben adjusted his glasses. "You know that Elliot and I are deeply tied together in business. I listen to all of his business strategies.""Oh…" Mike understood what Ben was

"They have a new business, and we are celebrating with cake?" Avery did not understand Mike's actions."If not, should we cry?" Mike opened the cake, cut a piece, and passed it to her. "Eat more and think less. I'm starting to suspect that when I'm not home, you don't eat a proper lunch. Why do you look like you have lost some weight?""On the contrary. I have been making a good lunch every afternoon." Avery held the cake, picked up her fork, and started eating it. "Lilith said that she's coming over for dinner tonight. Don’t tell me it's to console me too?""If I knew you were this intuitive, I would not have told you about it." Mike took the remote control and switched off the tv."I'm not thinking about all of this. Whether you tell me or not, I know that they are building a new company." Avery pushed the cream on the cake away. "Why did you buy a cake with cream? I prefer tiramisu.""You have asked me this before, but I'll refresh your memory." Mike shrugged. "Layla and I like

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
