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

    She saw a message from her father saying that he was waiting for her in her apartment with her mother.Leah had thought that her father would ignore her since she had argued with her mother. Leah's father had always been more attentive to her younger brother and had rarely made time to care for or educate her, so she did not know what to expect from him.Would he confront her and forcefully take her back to Bridgedale?Her head instantly started pounding at the thought, when suddenly, she heard Layla's voice from outside the office."Ms. Kennedy."Leah turned and saw Layla. She immediately walked over and asked, "Layla, why are you here? Are you struggling with your homework?"Layla shook her head. "Ms. Kennedy, it's Teacher's Day tomorrow and I made a gift for you last night." She handed a card to Lead as she spoke.Leah accepted it and opened it to have a look. "This is the most beautiful card I've ever received. I will keep it up.""You are a new teacher so this must be your

    "Leah, what's that look on your face? Your cousin knows that you want to stay in Aryadelle and told us not to be too harsh on you. It's bad enough that you are not thanking her, what are you making that face for? Do you think we are forcing you to work for your cousin? She is just trying to help you! Do you really think that anyone can get to work for your cousin? If you weren't our daughter, someone like you would never get a chance to work there!" Running out of patience, Mr. Kennedy barked.Mrs. Kennedy wanted to remain silent but was far too enraged by Leah's attitude. "Leah Kennedy, I don't even know you anymore! Who turned you into such a person? That bodyguard?""Mom, ever since you came to cause a scene at my school, Layla has asked to put a stop to the tutoring, and I haven't spoken to her bodyguard since. Why are you dragging them into this mess?" Leah asked sharply."Ha! Just listen to how pathetic you sound! You seem pretty proud of tutoring someone for free, huh? Since

    "If you want to stay in Aryadelle to work as a teacher, then you are free to do so. Your father and I won't push you to do anything you don't want, but do not take your marriage lightly," Mrs. Kennedy said. "Leah, Avery Tate isn't your family so you can't side with her! If you accuse your cousin, you will be disowned by our entire family!""Go!" Tired of hearing their threats and curses, Leah said, "I am calling Avery right now if you refuse to leave!"Mrs. Kennedy immediately left with her husband.Avery arrived at the hospital at four in the afternoon to visit Bobby.Their eyes met when she stepped into his room."Miss Tate, I need to speak with you, alone." Bobby laid on the bed and said calmly, "I've considered your offer."Avery glanced at her bodyguard and silently ordered him to wait outside the door. The bodyguard immediately stepped outside and closed the door behind him."Go on, Mr. Jennings!" Avery stood by the bed and waited for his response.He stared intently at h

    The bodyguard saw the blade in Bobby's hand and he saw the blade in Avery. Avery's clothes were instantly soaked in red, but thankfully, she was not stabbed in the heart.He grabbed the vase on the table to throw it at Bobby, but Avery grabbed him by the arm and stopped him. "Take me to the emergency room to stop the bleeding."The dagger was still stuck in her flesh and Avery could feel that she was losing more and more blood.The bodyguard threw the vase away to lift Avery up, before turning to leave."Miss Tate, are you okay?" the bodyguard asked worriedly."It's just a scratch... It's not a big deal." Avery was strangely calm, as though she was not the one who was stabbed."Why are you so calm, Miss Tate? Why didn't you let me teach that b*st*rd a lesson? How dare he try to kill you? I could just kill him right now!" he gritted out."He wouldn't stab me in the abdomen if he really wanted to kill me," she lowered her voice and said. "Dean Jennings is the one who wants me dead

    "Dean, don't get frustrated over such small matters." Angela poured him a glass of water. "Who are you killing Avery for? I never said I wanted her dead.""I have a daughter called Natalie. She is the one behind what happened in Ylore. I want to kill Avery because I don't want her to find out that Natalie is behind it."Angela chuckled. "I thought you don't really care about your daughters?""Natalie is different. She is now the person in charge of Tate Industries," said Dean proudly. "Her talent surpasses that of my two sons. I want to remove Avery from her path so that she can obtain Tate Industries.""I see. But how would you benefit from helping her? You haven't acknowledged her as your daughter, right? If you help her out and in the end, she refuses to see you as her father, then all this effort will be wasted," Angela reminded him. "The consequences of killing Avery Tate can be quite heavy to bear!""It's not like I've succeeded.""Are you going to try again?" Angela studie

    Mike walked out and ran into Hayden. The two headed to the dining room without a word."Your mom said she's fine, but her face is as pale as a ghost, so she must have lost quite a lot of blood," Mike whispered."I won't let that old twat live!" said Hayden through gritted teeth as his expression grew dark. "We will need to plan it out carefully because he still has your father. We are in a passive position at the moment," Mike said. "Your dad is your mom's main concern right now. We will need to find out where Elliot is and find a way to get him out. Once he is out, we are free to do whatever we want with Dean Jennings."In the bedroom, Avery wiped herself dry and changed into a set of loose pajamas, before stepping out of the bathroom.Her phone started ringing, so she went to the nightstand to pick up her phone, only to realize that Dean was calling.She took a deep breath and answered."Miss Tate, are you okay? I heard that Bobby went mad and stabbed you. That beast! He's go

    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.
