Avery took her phone out from her back. When she saw it was a foreign number, she hesitated for a while before answering the call."Hello, Miss Tate, I am the person in charge of Crystal's Auction House. I just checked our data and noticed that you were here at our auction yesterday, trying to bid for the set of jewelry for children, but due to some reason, the set of jewelry was taken off the auction. I want to explain the reason to you."Avery was Elliot's ex-wife, and the person in charge of the auction house did not want to offend her."I know the reason," Avery said. "Natalie Jennings wants that set. but she didn't dare bid with me, so she got Elliot to step in for her to get that set."When the person in charge heard what Avery said, he felt extremely awkward. "It was indeed as you described. My boss is an acquaintance of Mr. Foster's. Also, Mr. Foster personally called my boss, and my boss has to give in out of respect. But does Mr. Foster not know that you also want that se

"Robert, are you tired?" Elliot looked at Robert. He seemed a little groggy. "If you're sleepy, I'll get the bodyguard to send you back to the room."Robert was not tired, but he also did not want to continue listening to them chat, so he reached into Elliot's pocket.Elliot knew what he was looking for, so he took his phone out and passed it to Robert.When Robert got his father's phone, he obediently followed the bodyguard back to the room.Natalie said with a smile, "He is so young, yet you gave him your phone to play with, that's not good, right?""He's calling his sister," Elliot replied.After the bodyguard brought Robert back to the room, Robert skillfully unlocked Elliot's phone and found Layla's contact. He called her.Layla soon picked up."Layla! What are you doing?" said Robert in his crisp voice. When Layla heard Robert's voice, she instantly said, "Why are you not on a video call? Did you call me on your own?""Yes!" Robert obediently answered. "Daddy is still

"Layla, when your Daddy and I were in love, he had made many promises to me before, but they all became the butt of a joke later on." Avery did not want to upset Layla, but she also did not want her daughter to trust other people's words so easily and get disappointed."If there comes a time when he does lie to me, I will not let him go!" Layla puffed her cheeks up and said, "If he doesn't stick to his promise, I won't want him anymore!"Avery caressed Layla's head. "Don't think so much about this. Let's go out and have some fun." "Hmm."In Bridgedale, Elliot and Natalie arrived at the Dream Maker building to meet up with the managers of Dream Maker to discuss the collaboration.They were invited into the guest room and told to take a seat. The secretary poured them some water."Mr. Foster, Miss Jennings, I never thought that you would be so punctual. We initially wanted to tell you beforehand, but after thinking about it, we thought it would be better to tell you in person." Th

The necklace looked very familiar. It was the necklace from the set of jewelry that Avery had planned to buy for her, but Natalie snatched it away."Only the necklace?" said Layla, looking at Natalie. "Aunt Natalie, why are you hiding the bracelet? Or have you given it to some other child?"Natalie's face flushed red. How did Layla know about the matching bracelet? Did she guess?Elliot saw how impolite Layla was, and he immediately said, "Layla, you—""Elliot Foster, shut your mouth up!" Layla furrowed her brows and yelled at Elliot.Natalie was shocked. Even Mrs. Cooper was shocked.Layla calling Elliot by his name was already very rude. How dare she lose her temper at him!This was the first time that Elliot had been yelled at by his daughter in front of someone else. He was in a daze."Layla, you shouldn't talk to your Daddy like that. I do indeed have the bracelet. I wanted to give it to you next time. Since you like it, I'll go get it for you right now." Natalie wanted to

Layla said that he made Avery feel aggrieved. If what Layla said was true, then Avery truly did resent him, despite him not knowing that she had wanted to purchase the set.She answered the call in a matter of seconds."Hello," said Avery in a calm voice."A week ago, you cursed me to death, was it because I helped Natalie buy the set of jewelry that you wanted?" Elliot asked. "Layla told me everything just now."Avery was stunned. She had already told Layla not to tell him. She had not expected Layla to tell him anyways."Yes, are you going to laugh at me for being childish?" Avery retorted."I'm sorry," he said after hearing her answer. "I didn't know that you wanted the same set of jewelry. Natalie didn't tell me about it.""Don't blame Natalie. She wasn't there that time. She didn't know that I was the one bidding against her assistant."Elliot wanted to explain to her that Natalie rarely asked him for help, which was why he helped her that time. However, he felt that eve

Avery blushed. "Mommy was worried about you! But I see that you're happy now.""Because I have chased away the person I hate! She will never come to our house again!" Layla pulled Avery into the living area.Elliot stood in the living area, looking at mother and daughter.Layla smiled as if the unpleasantness had not happened. He had already called Natalie and told her not to come in the future, and he got the driver to return the necklace to her. Natalie had apologized to him and told him that she had not known that Avery was there at the auction. Elliot believed that she was not lying, but he was feeling sorry for Layla and Avery."Avery, you even bought a cake?" Mrs. Cooper saw Avery and said passionately, "Why don't you stay for dinner? Treat it as a pre-birthday celebration for Layla!""Mommy, if you have nothing to do today, stay and spend time with me!" Layla said coquettishly. "We'll go fetch Robert later.""Where did Robert go?" Avery asked."He went to Aunt Shea's.

"Layla, I'll change. I won't eat alone with Aunt Natalie anymore. I won't let her come over to our house, too." Elliot promised Layla. "In the future, if she asks for my help, I won't help her.""That's more like it!" Layla liked Elliot a little bit more."Avery, I also hope that in the future, if there is anything, you will tell me about it first," said Elliot after he was satisfied with his progress with Layla. So, he turned his attention to Avery, who was on her phone. "For example, a week ago, you knew that I was the one who had helped Natalie buy the set of jewelry that you wanted. You could have told me about it first. No matter how you yell at me, as long as you tell me what happened, I will thank you."Avery never thought that he would suddenly talk to her. He even had a look that demanded justice. "You were helping Natalie to buy something, why should I contact you?" She asked in return."If you don't tell me, how would I know that I have helped someone take away somethi

Avery thought that Elliot was leaving. Instead, he walked to where she was sitting and took a seat next to her. She barely gave it a thought and moved aside a little."What are you doing?" Looking at the familiar face so close to her, she could not read his mind."Why did you say that my apology to Layla was not sincere?" His tone was lower than before. "This is when I'm around. When I'm not around, what do you tell Layla about me?""I tell her whatever you suspect I tell her. You really are confident if you think I tell the children only good things about you." Avery smiled. "If you want me to praise you, sure. Hand over the custody of the children to me, and I'll praise you all you want."The calmness on his face was no longer there."Avery, you said that no matter what I did, I would find an excuse for myself. Since when have I found excuses for myself? No matter what I do, I do it with a good conscience.""Conscience? You want to talk to me about conscience? You dare say yo

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
