When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2421
Juliet returned to her rented apartment, taking off her heels and changing into slippers, before walking to the bedroom."It's alright. Just a little tired. Tate Industries is bigger than I imagined, so the annual dinner is insanely big, too. It's my first time seeing something on this scale." Juliet sat down on the bed and switched her phone to speaker mode. Then, she poured herself a glass of water. "I asked around, and all the employees seemed to like Avery.""That just means that the job offer they got from Avery is good. Employees work for their bosses and couldn't possibly know who their bosses are in private," the old woman said objectively. "To know who Avery is, you will need to talk to her friends and observe her behavior in private.""Yeah. It's my first day at work, so I had to be extremely careful not to say or do the wrong thing, or I might not pass the probation, which means I won't have the chance to get to know her.""That's too much work, Madam!""It's fine.

After the call with the teacher, Juliet obtained the phone number of the little boy's mother. She calmed herself before making the call.The mother answered and asked, "Who is this?""I'm Irene's guardian. I've been informed about your son bullying Irene. I would like to ask you to get your son to apologize to her tomorrow at school," said Juliet. "Of course, I won't force him to if he doesn't want to do it.""Hahaha! You are hilarious! Irene scratched my son's face—""Your son had it coming. He was the one who started it. If he doesn't apologize to Irene, he will never learn from his mistake. If you spoil him, he will continue to pick fights with others as he grows up, and eventually, he might wind up getting beaten to death or thrown in jail as punishment," Juliet said swiftly. "That's all I want to say. How you want to educate your child is up to you, but if your son dares to bully Irene again, I will tell Irene to beat him up until he quiets down."The boy's mother trembled in

"Ben, you are probably worried that things could go wrong during the wedding, right?" Avery smiled. "I thought Lilith said she would take leave three days before the wedding? You can rehearse every day once she has time off work.""He's just in a hurry, and I don't even know why. I already told him that I will do the rehearsal once I get some time off, but he won't drop it," Lilith said."Lilith, it's my first time getting married. I'm just nervous. I hope you understand.""Is this your first time? It's my first time as well. Why am I not nervous, then?""Because you are young. Young people are more impetuous.""Impetuous?" Lilith scowled. "Is that supposed to be an insult?""Of course, not! Why would I insult you? It just means you are too young to fear anything," Ben said, as he remembered Avery's assistant. "Avery's assistant is the perfect example of this. Her assistant graduated this summer and had the guts to submit her resume to Sterling Group. Daring, isn't she? The adver

As soon as she mentioned her period, all the men immediately lowered their heads awkwardly."Lilith, you really don't hold back on anything with us!" Jun smiled sheepishly."You're all married and have kids, so what's wrong with talking about periods?"Tammy laughed. "Are your periods on time most of the time? My period wasn't before I gave birth, mainly because my sleep schedule and eating habits are horrible. Doctors couldn't help me as well, and even if medicines helped for some time, my cycles would get all messed up two months later."Finally finding someone that she could relate to, Lilith said, "My periods are usually on time, but not exactly normal... most of the time! I eat too little and probably don't absorb enough nutrition, so my flow is really little... The doctors only told me to eat more, but I can't! I will get fat and dieting is so hard. I've asked a few of my colleagues, and they all have irregular menstruation, so I stopped going to the doctors altogether."Bot

Everyone was instantly rendered speechless. They did not know how to react to Ben's actions. He had actually taken medication that was meant for women. "No wonder you apologized so quickly that time. So, you took my pills." Moved, Lilith felt a lump in her throat, and all the frustration she felt toward him vanished in that instant."I'm really just worried about you, Lilith. This isn't about getting a child. Can't you believe me?" Ben noticed the change in her attitude and immediately took the chance to declare his determination. "I don't care about the others. I only care about you, because you are my wife."Lilith whimpered and burst into tears.Ben immediately dragged her into his arms and consoled her, while the others shot one another awkward looks.An hour later, dinner ended, and on the way home, Avery could not help but say, "Elliot, do you remember when we were dating? We fought a lot for a while back then as well."Elliot thought about it. "Just for a while? I feel li

"Sure," Elliot agreed. "HR interviewed a few today, they were all alright. I'll interview a few more tomorrow.""Haha! All of them should be excellent, right? I'll see how you will pick them." Avery was starting to feel how challenging it would be to pick Elliot."It will be impossible that everyone would be pleasant-looking and could get along well." Elliot was not worried at all. "How is your assistant's first day at work?"Avery replied, "I chatted with her this morning, then she went to work. I got her to assist the administration department and be in charge of the annual dinner. Those tasks are more tedious. Letting her do it is to train her and also see her capabilities.""Hmm. Did you talk about the incident in Ylore?" Elliot asked, "She's a Ylorean. Logically speaking, she should know about those incidents that happened to us in Ylore.""So, what if she knew about them? Those were all in the past. Anyone who has brains would know not to bring up their bosses' past in front

"She said that the person she liked died," Avery lamented, "She said that she would never get married in the future. She is whose feelings run deep.""I see." Elliot was not interested in matters regarding love. "She was rather honest about this.""That's because I saw the scar on her wrist, so I asked her about it. We chatted for quite a while. If I hadn't asked her about it, she would not have volunteered such information. When she came to work today, she had a wrist guard on to cover her scar. I think she is afraid that others would ask her about the scar. She would surely not want to recount this incident over and over again.""Hmm. Once I hire an assistant, we can have a meal together.""Hmm. I feel like I'm going to get busy soon. Leah and George are getting married. Ben and Lilith are getting married.""George and Leah are going back to George's old hometown to have their wedding this year. They'll wait until next year to have their second wedding ceremony here. Leah's pare

Avery blushed awkwardly."Here's the thing. We would like to get Eric to be our spokesperson.""Oh, I see! Since you are asking, Eric will surely agree to it," Eric's manager said without hesitating. "Once he is done with work, I'll let him know.""May I ask how much his endorsement fee is? You can tell me, and I'll discuss it with Eric," Avery said."Are you planning to sign him on based on his market rate?" the manager chuckled. "His endorsement fee isn't cheap. Just last month, a makeup company wanted him to be their spokesperson. They wanted him to be their company's spokesperson. Are you planning to get him to be your company's spokesperson or are you signing him on to endorse a single product?""The company's spokesperson," Avery said."Oh, his charges for that are high! The makeup company offered him a nine-figure contract." The manager was afraid that the amount would scare Avery, so he chose to give her a vague view of the amount she would be paying if she chose to sign

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
