"What are you talking about? What daughter?" Since the old man had an accent, the receptionist was even more impatient.

At that moment, a guard walked over to check on the situation.

"I think he is most likely here to ask for blackmail money! He said that his daughter got him to come and look for Mr. Foster. How could our boss know such a person like him? He doesn't even know how to lie properly. I'm guessing he wants to kiss up to our boss!" The receptionist was in a bad mood. "This morning, there was also another lady that claims to be Mr. Foster's relative, so I already informed them about her. Turns out, that lady wanted to ask Mr. Foster for money!"

The receptionist said with a sigh, "My manager privately gave me an earful! He said to not simply report anything in the future. If someone were to be truly Mr. Foster's relative, how could they not have his phone number?"

The guard thought that what she said made sense. It was better to not create trouble. They were ordinary peopl

    "Okay." The receptionist did not expect Chad to be so meticulous.Chad went to the surveillance room to check on the footage. He took a photo with his phone and sent it to Elliot.The old man looked extremely foreign to Chad. They most probably had not met each other before.Elliot received Chad's photo. After looking at it for a while. He replied with a question mark.Chad: [Mr. Foster, do you know this man? He came looking for you at the office just now.]Elliot tapped into the photo and zoomed in once more. Seeing the man's face, he replied, [I don't know him. Why is he looking for me?]Chad: [The receptionist said that he has a strong accent. He should be a foreigner. He said that his daughter has something to say to you.]Elliot: [I don't know him. I don't know his daughter either. I have no female friends in Bridgedale.]Chad: [Alright. I'll just ignore him.]At the hospital, Dean felt more alive after the drip. He got out of bed and paced around for a little while.Per

    Dean's face darkened sinisterly! "Mary, previously, a shocking scandal about my family was released. You must have heard of it, right?" Dean intimidated her. "Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"Mary had just finished university. She had not witnessed the dangerous part of society before. How could she bear Dean's cruel tactics?It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.However, she was not afraid of what Dean would do to her. She was afraid of death. She was, after all, different from Angela.Angela had lived for a long time. She had seen everything she had wanted to see. However, Mary's life was just beginning, yet it had to end already."Uncle Dean, before my mom died, she talked to me for a while." Mary was silent for a while before saying, "She said she had already achieved what she wanted to achieve. She had no regrets in this life. The importance of life is not in its length, but in how well you live it. She felt that if she were to continue living

    Dean looked at his phone and saw that it was a call from his lawyer. He glared at Mary, who was still sitting in the chair. Mary's eyes were already closed. He did not know if she had died yet or not. However, she was already dead to him."Take her away! How unlucky!" Dean said through gritted teeth to his assistant."Okay! I'll get people to take her away!" The assistant left the ward and called two bodyguards over to take Mary out.Dean sat on the bed and answered the call. "Has Natalie gotten the contract?""Mr. Jennings, I can't contact Natalie," the lawyer said. "She had told me this morning that once we send the money over, she will be able to get the transfer agreement for Tate Industries by this afternoon, but after we gave her the money, she began to ignore us."This was a blow to Dean. He became dizzy and fell onto the bed."W-Where is she?" Dean clutched his forehead while panting."She said that she went to Tate Industries to deal with something. I just got off the

    Avery said, "There is no such force. If there is any force, it will be from ourselves." She paused for a while before saying, "Mary Hills is dead?""Yes, she poisoned herself," Sebastian replied. "She consumed the same poison as Angela. Mother and daughter have long expected this outcome, so they prepared beforehand."Avery's heart constricted a little. Why did things turn out this way? Dean only wanted Angela's resurrection treatment. If he got what he wanted, logically speaking, he would not have killed Mary. Why did Mary kill herself too?"Sebastian, before Mary killed herself, did she give your father Angela's things?" Avery asked."I don't think so. I was not there. When I arrived, Mary was already dead." Sebastian stood outside the ward. His expressions were serious. "I don't think my father has two-point-one billion dollars with him. He must have surely borrowed money. If he can't get this money back, I think his blood pressure won't ever come down.""Are you worried th

    "Now we no longer need to deal with Natalie. Dean hates Natalie a lot right now. As long as Dean found Natalie, she would surely be tortured," Elliot analyzed the situation for Avery."Elliot, why didn't you tell me this earlier?""Because I'm not sure if Natalie would take the bait or not," Elliot explained. "She only transferred the money to me this morning. I planned to tell you when we met at night.""Hmm. How did you get her to take the bait?""When you told me that she was the one behind the incident in Ylore, I got someone to look for her parents. Even if Angela did not die, I would still seek revenge on Natalie," Elliot said slowly. "But she did not take the bait not completely because of her parents in Aryadelle. From the moment she failed to get rid of us, she had nowhere to run anymore.""Where are you right now?" Avery listened to Elliot's methodical tone, and she felt as if Elliot from the past had returned. The familiar sense of security made her let out a sigh of re

    Perhaps it was because he had received plenty of bad news that day, but Dean's ability to bear the news had increased.When he heard what Sebastian said, he did not get angry which would worsen his condition.He looked straight ahead at the white wall in front of him. He froze. It was as if someone had cast a spell over him. Sebastian looked at his father in a daze, as if he saw his father suddenly aging ten years in front of him.Dean had never looked this depressed. "Dad, I don't think we can get this money back. You should just accept it!" Sebastian said once more, consoling his father, "How much did you borrow? We'll slowly pay it back."Dean snickered condescendingly, "Sebastian, I'm not dead yet! Even if Angela and Mary have died, it can't change the fact that Elliot is a dead man walking! I have never been afraid of anyone in my entire life! So, what if he is richer than me? I'll just fight with him!""Dad, you should recuperate. Your health is more important," Sebastia

    "Bring it back to the children, say it was from you." Avery was thoughtful. She explained, "You have been missing for so long. The two children have been equally worried and sad, so you bringing them gifts will make them happy."Elliot had a look at the gifts that she bought. Avery bought Layla a pretty hair clip."Layla's liking hasn't changed in so many years." Elliot gently chuckled."She likes to be pretty. She likes jewelry. She is still young. Things like necklaces and bracelets are not suitable for her, so a hairclip is better.""Hmm." He placed the hair clip down and picked up the toy plane she bought for Robert. "There are a lot of these types of toys back in Aryadelle. I can buy it for him when I get back.""It doesn't take up space. Place it into your luggage," Avery said and headed to the master bedroom. "Have you booked your flight tickets?""Yes. The flight is tomorrow at eleven in the morning.""Okay. Once you're back home. If you don't feel comfortable, you hav

    "Avery, three days later, we will be holding a funeral for Angela and Mary. Will you be attending?" Sebastian asked. "It's fine if you don't have the time.""Your father is holding a funeral for them?" Avery asked. "He should be loathing Angela to death. Why is he helping her with a funeral?""I don't know." Sebastian indeed did not know the reason. Besides, he no longer wanted to reveal Dean's plans to Avery. At that moment, the Jennings were more than one billion dollars in debt. He did not dare to imagine this number."He could not just go up against his father and help Avery and Elliot."Oh… we'll see about it three days later!" Avery thought for a while. "Is your father still alright?""Not great. He borrowed more than one billion from the bank.""Sebastian, look on the bright side. That is his debt. That isn't your debt. You don't have to help him pay it back." Other than comforting him, Avery did not know what else to say, because she would not possibly return the money to

    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
