"He's a top-ranked hacker. If he doesn't want his photos to be on the internet, we won't be able to find any." Dean took her hand and walked toward the dining room. "Let's have breakfast!""I don't have much of an appetite... But I can eat with you!" Though still annoyed with Avery, Angela regained her composure at the reminder that she had leverage over Avery....Avery stepped out of the Jennings' mansion and got into her car."Where to, Miss Tate?" her bodyguard asked.She was not sure where to go as she had too much on her mind. "Wherever!""Oh... Why don't we go to the Dream Maker factory, then?" The bodyguard was extremely interested in the Dream Maker factory and was dying for Avery to give him a tour.She was not paying attention to what the bodyguard was saying and did not respond.Taking her silence as a yes, he started driving towards Dream Maker.Avery took out her phone and found Professor Hough's son's contact. Worried that she might disturb him if she called out

In the Dream Maker factory, Avery stepped out of the car and stared dazedly at the building before her. "Why are we here?"The bodyguard stilled. "I thought you said we are coming here?""Did I say that?" She massaged her temples as she struggled to recall what she said."You said to go wherever and I suggested that we come to Dream Maker. You didn't say no to it!" the bodyguard explained."Oh... I was on my phone at the time so I didn't hear that." It wasn't Avery's intention to come here, but she decided to check on Mike since they were already here."Miss Tate, you are looking more and more depressed ever since you started seeing the Jennings. That family is toxic," the bodyguard said. "If you really think that they have Elliot, you can hire someone to kidnap Dean Jennings and request that he release Elliot.""I am only guessing that he has Elliot, but I don't have proof for that, so I can't act rashly at the moment. They are enemies in the dark so I have to be careful. I can

"I'm buying your wife a car! I realized that you are working for me most of the time and rarely have time to stay home with your family, so I want to buy your wife a car."The bodyguard's eyes reddened at her explanation. "I thank you on my wife's behalf, Miss Tate! She's always been supportive of my job and has been grateful for you.""What color does she like?""White! It's simple and elegant."The two chatted along the way as they followed the manager into the factory.Avery doubted her own eyes when she spotted Sebastian in the factory. She rubbed her eyes and gazed up again..."Isn't that the second master of the Jennings family?" Her bodyguard spotted Sebastian as well and did not suspect if he had mistaken the person ahead for Sebastian. "Why is he here?""Mr. Jennings ordered a car with us, so he is probably here to look at it," the manager explained. "Do you know each other?"Avery hummed in response.Sebastian heard them from a distance and turned to look at them. He

"Avery, do you know why I asked you to buy me lunch at the canteen?" Sebastian asked."Why?""Because I knew you would ask sensitive questions like that." He studied her like he had already seen right through her. "My father's spies are hidden amongst the bodyguards that are supposed to protect me."Avery fell silent, not knowing what to say. Avery had not thought that would be possible."My father made an excuse of wanting me protected and sent his men to watch me. Do you still think that it's strange for him to do something to my brother?" Sebastian lowered his voice as his lips curled into a smile like he did not have a care in the world for how abnormal his relationship with his father was."There has to be a reason that he's doing this, right? I haven't spoken to your father much, but he's just a guy—""If you stop considering him as 'just a guy', then all the things that happened in the Jennings family will start to make sense to you," he said as he placed scoops of food

"I don't understand... If what you said is true, why did your father ask me to treat your brother?" she mumbled. "Has he come to regret his action?""As if. The word 'regret' does not exist in my father's vocabulary. I don't know why he's asked you to treat Bobby, but it's definitely not for the reason you think it is," he said with confidence.Avery stared at Sebastian's face dazedly."My bodyguards will start to suspect that something is wrong if you keep staring at me instead of eating," he lowered his voice and reminded her. "If you want to keep looking into this, it's best that you learn to not show any emotions on your face."She snapped out of it right away and smiled at him, before grabbing her spoon to start eating."After hearing what you have to say, I realize you don't have it easy either! If you make a mistake, will your father treat you the way he treated your brother?""He will.""Wouldn't he be more cautious? You are his last capable son, and if he destroys you,

Avery gave her bodyguard a look, signaling him to stay quiet.She stepped out of the canteen and answered the call."Miss Tate, I told my men to send Bobby to the hospital today. I heard that he shouted at you yesterday, and I hope you don't take it personally. He's been mentally disturbed since the car crash. I've hired a psychiatrist to look at him but it's not really working. I can only hope that you will be able to cure him.""Sure, I will go check on him at the hospital later," she said calmly."Yeah. I trust you with my son. Do let me know if you need anything else. If you can't reach me, you can contact my assistant," Dean offered kindly."Sure. I apologize for showing up out of the blue to meet with Ms. Hills this morning.""Haha, Angela told me about it when I woke up this morning. She doesn't blame you for it. She simply resents Professor Hough," Dean said casually. "He is dead and the past is in the past. So long as you refrain from mentioning Professor Hough in front

"Yeah." Avery glanced at the time. "I'm about to go home for a nap.""Hey, it's rare enough for you to drop by and you aren't even going to spend some time with me?" Mike had two hours of lunch break."I don't want to disturb you while you are working. You keep saying how busy you are...""I still have the time to meet and chat with you." Mike dragged her to his office. "Have you bought the car?""Not yet! We ran into Sebastian when we were looking through the options so it got delayed.""Leave it to me," Mike said, before turning to Avery's bodyguard. "Give me your home address and the car will be delivered to your doorstep.""Thank you, Mr. Mike!"He turned back to stare at Avery. "What did you and Sebastian talk about?""He told me that Dean was behind the car accident Bobby was in. Dean has to be sick in the head to do something like that," she mumbled. "All the kids that died in the Jennings family might be the work of that man.""Pfft!" Mike came close to spitting his fo

In Aryadelle, Natalie had been dazed and demotivated for the past few days. She had been doubting herself and her beliefs all along ever since her mother had told her that Dean Jennings was her biological father.Without Dean's help, she would have never accomplished what she had so far. Natalie thought back to the time when she had mocked Avery for depending on men for her success, yet she had come to realize that she was no different than Avery."Ms. Jennings, is something troubling you?" Her assistant asked gingerly.Natalie picked up her mug and took a sip of coffee."If one day your mother tells you that you are not your father's child and that your real father is someone else, how would you react?" Natalie asked. "The father you've known has been caring and loving, and isn't aware that you are not his child."The assistant hesitated for a moment, before looking troubled. "That's insane! I've only ever seen something like that on television. Ms. Jennings, if something like th

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
