She pursed her lips and strode toward the door.

"I don't know if it means investing in Wanda," he drawled when she was at the door, "but I gave Zoe three hundred million."

"Three hundred million? He gave Zoe three hundred million?!" she thought.

"Wasn't it one hundred and fifty-five million?" she blurted out.

He chuckled. "So you have been keeping an eye on what has happened between Zoe and I. I did give her one hundred and fifty-five million, but I gave her another one hundred and fifty-five million the day before yesterday. She had performed surgery on Shea twice, and I'm paying her seventy-five million for each operation she performed."

Avery clenched her fists. Due to the surgeries, Zoe had gotten an insane amount of money from Elliot. She had given all three hundred million to Wanda.

"How ironic! This is the most ironic thing I've ever seen. Nothing is as ridiculous as this, because I was the one who did those surgeries! This means that I have just given Wanda three hund

Elliot knew that Zoe is fooling him but he gave her a boatload of money to invest in Wanda's company to attack Tate Industries. Avery and Elliot are still not being honest with each other

I am feeling the same way because Avery could have been said she preformed Surgery even after Zoe lied n placed blamed on her for killing her child. I am very upset n frustrated at this point because Avery character has turned into evil n even making Elliott seem like he SA her I'm done

    "Mommy, the nurse told Hayden to go first because I was scared of the pain. She wanted me to see that there was nothing to it," explained Layla. "Hayden only had his blood taken for my sake. He loves me!"Avery sighed at the explanation and said, "You are both so adorable and good. Mommy loves you more and more as the days go by!""Mom, we love you too!" Layla's doe-like eyes were filled with joy. Their bodyguard stood on the side and scratched his head. "Miss Tate, should I cook?""Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"The bodyguard shook his head. "It is no problem." With that, he went into the kitchen. "Mommy, that uncle cooks really well! He is making buffalo wings for us tonight." Layla grabbed Avery's hand and mumbled, "Why didn't Uncle Mike come home with you?"Avery's brows twitched, and she said, "He is busy with something, so we didn't come home together."Elliot had turned off her phone, and Mike must have gotten extremely nervous when he could not find her. She

    Zoe left Elliot's mansion and walked back to the old Foster mansion.Rosalie retired early. Henry and his wife, on the other hand, would often stay out late into the night, and Cole would either spend the entire night out or spend the entire day home. Thus, the old Foster mansion was quiet all the time.When Zoe returned to her room, she sent Cole a message. When Cole received the message, he immediately came to Zoe's room. "Zoe, our child is gone. Why are you looking for me?" Cole said coldly while standing by the door. He still could not get past the fact that she had brutally killed the child. If he had not wanted the child, then he could not care less if the child survived or died, but he wanted the child. "Do you think I didn’t want my own child? That's my own flesh and blood! But I can't have him! If the child is born, it will not end well for us!" Zoe pulled him into the room and closed the door.Cole sobered up a little. "Then, why are you looking for me?" "I'm movin

    Half an hour later, Elliot received a call from his brother, Henry."Elliot! Come to the hospital now! Mother fell! She's not doing well!"Elliot gripped his phone tightly. He strode out of the office and walked toward the elevator.Chad noticed his darkened expression, and the alarm in him went off. What had happened?"Mr. Foster, do you want to push back your meetings?""Let the vice president do it. Send the meeting notes to me," Elliot said before entering his private elevator.The doors of the elevator slowly slid shut.Chad had a bad feeling. Elliot rarely looked anxious while he was in the office. At the hospital, Rosalie was pushed into the emergency room. When Elliot arrived, the emergency room door was still shut."What happened?" Elliot looked at Henry with a dark expression."I was not at home then. Cole said he heard Mother yell out, so he came out of the room to have a look, and he saw Mother rolling down the stairs."Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. "She fe

    "If there is a next life, I hope that you will never see Shea or I. We have made things difficult for you."Still no response. There was nothing left in death. All the memories, hatred, desire, and reluctance vanished when the heart fell silent. No one would force him to get married and have children in the future. No one would miss him or worry whether he was eating enough or staying warm enough, or whether his work was tiring him or not.A moment later, Cole rushed into the hospital. When he heard of his grandmother's death, he instantly lost it and sobbed! "How could Grandma die just like that! Yesterday, she was nagging me to get a girlfriend!" wailed Cole. He took Rosalie's phone. "I spoke to Grandma's nanny. She said that before Grandma fell, she was on a call, so I brought her phone over."Elliot accepted the phone with reddened eyes. He turned on the phone and pulled up the call history.On the screen, a familiar name suddenly appeared. It was as if someone had ch

    Elliot's question made Avery furrow her brows.What was he talking about? He was asking her about what happened between her and his mother? That was strange! Why did he not just ask his mother? Even stranger was the fact that Rosalie had not told him her findings? More than an hour had passed, why had she not told him yet?Avery picked up her glass of water and took a sip. She forced herself to calm down."Why don't you ask your mother this question?" As Avery asked that, she started to suspect something was amiss.Something must have happened that prevented Rosalie from telling Elliot the truth."My mother is dead." Elliot's breath was heavy. He said bitterly, "You are the last person she spoke to before her death. I want to know what the two of you were talking about." Avery's hand which held the glass swayed! She felt dizzy and quickly put down the glass.She muttered, "Your mother has passed away? What happened?""Answer my question! What did the two of you talk about!

    On the other end of the line, Avery heard Elliot's command. She sneered and said, "Don't trouble your bodyguard. Where are you now? I'll come right over."Elliot waited in the hospital. He was still gripping Rosalie's phone. The veins on his forehead popped. His entire body stiffened! He was determined to make Avery tell him everything his mother had said on the phone on her death bed. He would not let his mother die like that without trying to know the cause of her death. Henry cautiously walked over to Elliot and said, "Elliot, Mother is gone. Should we arrange for her funeral?"Elliot barked, "Have an autopsy done first!"He wanted to confirm if murder could be ruled out! Although his mother had high blood pressure, her recent health checkup had shown that she was considerably healthy. Her sudden fall was rather suspicious.Henry nodded. "Okay, I'll go look for the doctor."Cole was standing at his father’s side, and he supported his mother with his arms.He had to keep

    Avery did not feel anything when she heard Zoe's revelation. She was Elliot's enemy. She had never held out a candle that Elliot might believe her. "Miss Sanford. Your breath stinks. Has no one ever told you that?" Avery raised her hand and covered her nose.Zoe's expression turned sinister. She wanted to yell at Avery, but she did not dare open her mouth!With a ding, the elevator stopped. Its doors slowly slid open.Avery was the first to come out of the elevator. Elliot was standing nearby, and his eyes lit up when he saw her. He strode over to her. He walked over and grabbed Avery by the arm and dragged her around the corner.Zoe saw the two of them pass her by. She remained in the same spot, looking at Avery.She saw Avery shrugging Elliot's arm off. Then, she heard Avery speak, "Your mother was the one who called me. What we talked about had nothing to do with you! Why don't you investigate your mom's death? Do you have no other solutions than trying to find fault with m

    Zoe cried loudly. "Avery! I have never seen such a shameless woman like you! You twist facts and blame it on me! You said that I did it. Why would I be so crazy to do that!""Yes! You are crazy!" Avery calmly looked at Zoe, who was still putting on a show. "You don't have to be smug. Your act will be exposed one day.""What act! Avery! Tell me! What act?!" Zoe pounced on Avery. Avery swerved toward Elliot and avoided Zoe. She did not want to fight with a lunatic nor get her hands dirty.Elliot gave her a cold glance and blocked Zoe."Zoe, you're in the hospital!" he reminded her. "I still have unfinished business with her. You will set aside your feud!" Then, he grabbed Avery's arm and headed to the elevator! Zoe watched them leave, and she immediately stopped crying! Although it was all an act, she had really wanted to hit Avery. Cole silently walked over and growled, "Zoe, I think you and I are not a match. I can't keep up with your viciousness."Zoe looked around and saw

    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
