"There's a close friend that I used to know. She needs a nanny to take care of her grandchildren, and the pay is very high. I thought about it. A job is just a job anyway, so I went to try it out. Today is the third day of work, and everything is fine so far. I can earn a thousand and five hundred a month!""Your father is already gone, and he didn't leave you with any property. I can't drag you down," Laura added.Avery's tears fell uncontrollably once she heard it."A close friend of yours is quite rich, isn't she?" Her voice was a little hoarse, but now that she started crying, her voice became even hoarser."Being a nanny for a friend… it must be tough!""It's not tough! Now as long as I can make money, I'm satisfied. My pride isn't worth as much! Moreover, the rich will not necessarily stay rich their whole lives. Maybe I'm not as rich as my friend now, but maybe my daughter will make a lot of money in the future."Laura took a few tissues and wiped Avery's tears."Mom… you

Kill him?Avery frowned.Although she hated Elliot, she never thought of killing him.Even if the child in her belly was now gone, it was impossible for her to have this thought.Besides, could she really kill him?Seeing that Avery was hesitating, Cole said, "My uncle is on a business trip now. You go back and think about it. Avery, as long as you can kill Elliot, I can marry you right away. I will give you whatever you want. I have told my parents about us and they are very supportive."Cole's attitude was sincere and his eyes were earnest.When she was in love with him previously, she had always wanted to be recognized by his parents.However, he had been reluctant to disclose their relationship.Now, she no longer needed the approval of others."What if I fail?" Avery asked him. "If he finds out that I want to kill him, do you think he will keep me alive? Cole, you were a coward before, and now you're just the same. If you want to kill him, you do it yourself. If you can'

"It's not your baby being aborted, of course you're not impulsive!" The doctor, seeing that Avery was very emotional and that the matter was indeed somewhat serious, had to change his tone, "Miss Tate, I am so sorry. Just now, I used the wrong words. Please have a seat and drink some water first, I'll go and have a look." The doctor poured her a glass of water and then immediately went to his seniors. About half an hour later, the doctor was back. "Miss Tate, do you know Chelsea Tierney? She's the one who came to check your file." Getting the answer, Avery left the hospital. Never thought Chelsea regarded her as a pest and a thorn in the flesh! However, there was no way she was going to be beaten passively. She would definitely find a way to make Chelsea pay the price! Avery entered the president's office of Tate Industries. Her father had worked in the office before he died. The vice president had been waiting inside for a long time. "Avery, I want you to come he

"I don't know the password. My dad didn't tell me the password before he passed." Avery frowned and shook her head. She did not lie. It was true that Jack had not told her about the company before his death, let alone his last words related to the password. There were so many people in the room at that time. If Jack had said it, she could not have been the only one who knew. "Uncle Locklyn, why don't I go back and ask my mom?" Avery discussed with the vice president, "When I saw my dad for the last time, he left this world after saying a couple of words to me. My mom might know a bit more." The vice president did not doubt it. "Okay. Don't tell anyone about this. This is a top secret of our company. I'm only telling you because you're the heir appointed by President Tate." Avery glanced at the safe, and a very sober voice in her mind seemed to sound some alarm bells.They had to tell her about this secret because they could not find someone to open the safe. If they had

Laura placed her hand on Avery's shoulder and said, "You are his daughter, so he won't hurt you. I was with him when he first started his company. When we were married, I didn't ask for anything. I also invested a lot of money for his business. If he dares hurt you, I will never forgive him, even if I'm dead."…Monday.Avery took a cab to Sterling Group.That was the first time she went to Elliot's company.The Sterling Group building towered high and was majestic.She stepped out from the cab and headed towards the ground floor lobby."Miss, do you have an appointment?" asked the receptionist.Avery replied, "No. Please contact Chelsea Tierney for me. Say that Avery Tate wants to meet her. She will see me when she hears my name."The receptionist stared at Avery for a while. She noticed that she dressed well, so she called the PR Department for her.Soon, Chelsea came down.She came out from an elevator and walked towards Avery. She glanced at her with a fierce gaze."Did

On Friday afternoon, Avery received a call from Mrs. Cooper."Madam, Master Elliot will be back tonight. You should come back too!"Avery had been living at her mom's place ever since Elliot forced her to have an abortion."Alright. It's time that I end things between me and him." Avery hung up and went to Elliot's mansion.It was seven in the evening.Elliot's plane landed at the airport.He hopped into a black Rolls-Royce with the escort of his bodyguards.Once he was seated, he realized that Chelsea was in there."Elliot, how's my new hairstyle?" Chelsea wore a pink puffy dress. She tucked her hair behind her ear and seductively smiled at him.Chelsea wanted to surprise him in the car.Elliot quickly glanced at Chelsea and was no longer calm.He was tensed and his face was as cold as ice. Tension arose in the car.Chelsea noticed that. She felt anxious."What's wrong, Elliot? Don't you like my hairstyle? Or is it because this dress is ugly…?" Chelsea was nervous. Her vo

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Let's get the divorce settled on Monday!" Avery continued.Faced with her fervent impatience, Elliot nonchalantly pulled out a cigarette and lit it.Avery furrowed her brows. She could not figure out what he was thinking.Could it be that he did not want to go through with the divorce?Otherwise, he would not be so indifferent.Avery took a deep breath and said, "Can you really handle being cheated on? I wouldn't want to see the person who had cheated on me for the rest of my life if I were you. You have to divorce me! You'd be an idiot not to!"Elliot coolly exhaled a smoke ring as he followed her with his dark eyes, watching her performance. "Have you met with Chelsea? That must have p*ssed you off, right? That's good because it was all my idea! I did it just to mess with you!"Avery was adding fuel to the fire.Mrs. Cooper was in a corner. Her heart was pounding as she listened in.Why was Avery digging her own grave?Was she having a mental b

Avery met with Shaun at Tate Industries over the weekend."We need to open up the safe as soon as possible, Avery," Shaun said. "Mr. Hertz has been pestering us for a decision. I don't know if I should tell him the truth or lie to him… I'm stuck because I have nothing to show for it!"Avery nodded and said, "I wrote down some numbers on a piece of paper last night. I think my father's passcode would be a combination of these numbers."Shaun took the piece of paper out of Avery's hand, glanced at the numbers, then nodded and said, "Let's give it a try now!"They entered the secret chamber, approached the safe, and began trying out possible combinations.However, things did not go as smoothly as they had hoped.After countless failed attempts, Avery frowned and let out a heavy sigh."Would Wanda know what the code is?" she said. "The code to our front door is a combination of my dad and Wanda's birthdays. He was good to her before he got sick."Shaun shook his head and said, "If

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
