Elliot entered the bedroom and closed the door. The room smelled of alcohol, and it was coming from Avery.

He walked over to the side of the bed and took her shoes off.

She was lying in bed without moving, unaware of everything.

He knew that she had bad alcohol tolerance, but this was the first time he had seen her dead drunk, after so many years of knowing her.

How sad must she have been to drink so much wine?

He sat by the side of the bed, looking at the flushed cheeks. His eyes slowly turned wet.

The thing he did not want most was to become a burden for her, but at that moment, he was suffocating her.

Seeing her in so much pain, his pain exceeded hers. If Angela had not brought him back to life, if he had died, then maybe she would have gotten out of her grief and not experience this torment.

Not long after, the nanny made some sobering drink and knocked on the door.

Elliot opened the room door.

"Mr. Foster, should we wake Avery up to get her to drink some of this? I'm

    When she saw his face, she thought that she was hallucinating. She reached her hand out and touched his face."You're up?" Elliot said hoarsely.Hearing his voice, she was scared out of her wits."My… my head hurts. Elliot, my head hurts!" Avery slapped her own head, trying to relieve herself of the pain.Elliot immediately held her hand so that she stopped hitting herself."Elliot, when your head hurt, was it like that?" Avery gasped and furrowed her brows tightly."Why did you drink so much when you can't drink?" Elliot sighed helplessly. "Next time don't drink.""But I see other people drinking and I want to drink…" Avery rubbed her temples. She paused in every sentence. "Elliot, I think I have something to say to you… Let me think… I suddenly forgot…" Elliot looked at her drunk and suffering, and his heart broke."Slowly think, don't worry." He gripped her hand and patiently waited for her."Elliot, what did I want to say…" Avery gasped. The more she tried to remember, t

    Hayden could feel that Elliot's gaze was bold and direct. It made him feel uneasy. His gaze was usually much more reserved,"My mom will not agree to you going out for a social function." Hayden looked at him directly, trying to stop him from going out.If his mother woke up and saw that Elliot was not home, she would surely worry."Your mother supports my work." Elliot had not expected him to say anything. He was rather surprised, but he was not going to change his mind. "Hayden, your mother has rarely called Robert and Layla, so you have to call them often.""Elliot, what are you doing? Why are you asking Hayden to do it? Can't you do it? Don't you have a phone now?" Mike found his words strange. "Did you fight with Avery? If not, why is Avery drunk? She doesn't like to drink.""Mike, go with her to the wedding tomorrow!" Elliot looked at Mike and said, "It would be safer with another person there with her."Mike was speechless."I have already eaten, you two should go and eat

    Elliot ordered two bottles of red wine. He and Chad each took a bottle.From what Chad knew about Elliot, he would surely be unable to finish an entire bottle of red wine.If he downed the entire bottle, he would surely pass out cold like Avery.Chad drank a glass of wine down. With the help of alcohol, he was emboldened."Mr. Foster, when you came out of Avery's house tonight, you looked at Hayden for quite a bit. Your gaze was especially direct," Chad said what was on his mind. "It was as if you wanted to eat him whole. No wonder Hayden said something to you.""I would never dare to look at his face this way usually. I have never seen his face so clearly and in such detail before." Elliot lowered his gaze, looking at the red liquid in his glass. "But I saw it clearly today. He is starting to look a lot like me.""Yes! Hayden is just like a clone of you. Not only does he look like you, but his temper is also quite like yours. Don't think that he looks icy. He has a burning fire

    At the banquet hall, Angela and Dean raised their glasses to the guests. Dean was extremely happy and in good spirits that day. However, even if he was in good spirits, after a few rounds of alcohol, his body could not take it in the end.Angela helped him to the side and looked at the time."Dean, it's almost eleven at night. Get the bodyguard to send you back to rest. We have our wedding tomorrow. You have to conserve your energy," Angela gently advised. "I'll be here with the guests a little bit longer. I'll be back latest by midnight."Dean thought of the wedding the next day. How he wished to be younger, then he would be able to stay up all night drinking, but like everyone else, he too succumbed to age. "Okay! Thank you. It's already so late yet you still have to stay here to host guests…""Dean, I'm very happy today. Much happier than you can imagine." Angela's gaze was spirited. "I promise it won't affect the wedding tomorrow."Dean saw her insistence and could only le

    "Mainly because Chad is with him, so I didn't worry that much," Mike added."A social function?" Avery muttered. She was still worried, so she asked, "What social function? Where is it?""I don't know. I wanted to ask, too, but Chad won't tell me. After all, this is their work. How could they tell me." Mike shrugged. "Why don't you call Elliot and ask him?"Mike reminded her. She immediately headed back to her room."Avery, are you sober? Does your head hurt? Do you want to drink something? The nanny has made a sobering drink for you. It's in the thermos. I'll go get it for you!" Mike chased after her and said this before heading to the kitchen to get it for her.Avery quickly returned to her room and picked up her phone. She found Elliot's contact and called him.At the presidential suite of the hotel, Chad was in the living room when he heard Elliot's phone ring. He immediately went to the bedroom and picked Elliot's phone up.When he saw that it was a call from Avery, he answ

    Elliot's bodyguard waited until two in the morning, yet he still did not see Angela come out. He felt that something was strange.After all, Angela was about sixty-something years old. How could a person at that age stay up so late at night?Moreover, she had her wedding the next day. It was impossible for her to stay up late.Thus, Elliot's bodyguard went into the hotel to ask and see if Angela's celebration banquet had ended.The hotel staff told him that it had ended at midnight. It had been two hours since the banquet ended.Elliot's bodyguard did not know what went wrong. He was bewildered.Chad believed that the bodyguard did not fall asleep, but something must have gone wrong somewhere."She is either still in the hotel or she must have left from another exit," Chad calmly analyzed. "Her wedding is tomorrow. She must have returned to the Jennings.""Then I'll go there and keep an eye on her.""I'm afraid you don't have a good opportunity to kidnap her already," Chad was

    Dean hung up. With the help of the servants, he washed up."Sir, Ma'am might not be up yet," the servant consoled Dean."I guess so too. She usually sleeps quite a lot." Dean felt much better thinking that.After washing up, the servants sent breakfast to Dean's room.Dean was having breakfast while accepting phone calls from his friends wishing him well.After breakfast, the bodyguard called him."Mr. Jennings, I'm outside Angela's house now. I pressed the doorbell a few times, but no one opened the door. I can't get through her phone, too. What should I do now?" The bodyguard was a little worried."No one opened the door?" Dean gasped and said without thinking, "Kick the door down! It's her wedding day! She might have overslept!"Dean did not allow anything to go wrong on the wedding that day, not even being late! Dean did not hang up, so he heard the bodyguard fire his gun. After the door had been kicked down, the bodyguard quickly entered."Ma'am!" the bodyguard yelled.

    "I don't think the wedding is happening anytime soon," the bodyguard mocked as he watched the entire Jennings family erupt into chaos. "I suppose there's no point for me to stay here any longer.""Don't be so sure yet," Chad immediately said. "Dean must have his men searching for Angela already. He is more powerful than us here in Bridgedale, so you should stay here and see if they find her in the end. It's still better than going to search for Angela on your own.""You have a point, Chad," the bodyguard said, before hanging up.Chad checked the time and noticed that it was only seven in the morning.Elliot was probably still asleep.He went toward the master bedroom and opened the door slightly to look inside; as expected, Elliot was still asleep.Elliot had drunk too much the night before and Chad did not think that he would be able to wake up until noon.Chad, too, had finished a whole bottle of red wine on his own, but he felt no other discomfort apart from the mild headache

    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
