Avery parked the car at the villa's entrance.The delivery man was waiting for her at the front gate.After she got out of the car and signed for the package, her phone, which was in her bag, began to ring.She held the package in one hand while she pulled out the phone with her other.She answered the call after opening the front gate."Where are you?"Elliot's deep, low voice came through the phone."At home," Avery answered."Are you not feeling well?" Elliot asked with a hint of worry in his voice."I'm fine. I came home to collect a package."Avery walked past the front yard and stopped when she reached the front door. She opened the door.Once she was in the house, she placed the package on top of the shoe rack."What's up?" she asked as she changed into her house slippers and walked over to the couch."Zoe Sanford is, in fact, dating Cole."Elliot's bodyguard had dragged Cole to him. Cole had confessed to everything, so Elliot called Avery."How did you find out?"

Chad was sitting in Ben's office at the Sterling Group building. He was sipping on a cup of tea. "It's been a while since I've been Mr. Foster this happy!" Chad chuckled. "I was standing by his office door— on purpose when I saw him bring in a huge bag of fruits and snacks. Can Avery eat all of that? Hahaha!""Did Avery finally come around? Women are so difficult to figure out!" Ben said with furrowed brows."Could she be coming because Zoe and Cole got together?" mused Chad. "I can't think of anything else that might make her come here.""Let's hope that's the case." Ben raised his own cup of tea and clinked cups with Chad.Avery pulled up in front of the Sterling Group building half an hour later.After his little tea session with Ben, Chad had been waiting at the building's entrance.When he saw Avery's Land Rover, he immediately ran up to it.Avery rolled down her window when she saw Chad approaching, then said, "Chad, the parking lot is full. I'll go find somewhere to par

Half an hour later, the vice president of Sterling Group burst into Ben's office."I've looked everywhere for you, Chad. I knew you'd be here!"The vice president slumped down next to Chad.Noticing the vice president dripping in sweat, Chad asked, " What happened? You're making me think the company's in some kind of trouble."The vice president poured himself a glass of water, then said, "Did the two of you know that Avery Tate was here? Why didn't you tell me?" He drank the entire glass of water in one gulp. "I went into Mr. Foster's office just now— Aaah! Just the thought of it makes me want to dig a hole and bury myself! What the hell did I just see? I think I'm about to get fired!" Ben and Chad were shocked."Don't tell me they were…" Ben spoke but he did not complete his sentence. The vice president nodded furiously and said, "That was not the worst thing. The worst thing was that I was with a team of people, and all of them saw it too! … Honestly, I might as well pack u

'No way,' the vice president thought to himself. 'Did Avery Tate leave?'He took a deep breath, then knocked on the open door to Elliot's office.Elliot looked up, saw who it was, then immediately said, "Come in and shut the door."The vice president was terrified!Elliot's tone was no different than usual, but there was something scary about the way he said the words 'come in and shut the door'.The vice president timidly walked into the room and closed the door behind him."Where's Miss Tate Sir?"Elliot pushed the file he was working on aside, then said coldly, "Do you need to talk to her about something?" He paused, then continued ominously, "You scared her off."The vice president felt sweat trickle down his back."I'm so sorry Sir! I'll go and apologize to Miss Tate right away!"Elliot's brows furrowed tightly as he asked, "Don't you think you've embarrassed her enough?"The vice president humbly hung his head. His face said, "Do what you want with me.""I don't want

Tammy shook her head and said, "Nope! Wasn't there the sender's name on the package?""I just glanced at it. I think it was the name of some company." Avery then revealed the suspicious nature of the package, "I had told the delivery man to leave it at the neighborhood's counter or to give it to the nanny, but he had insisted that I receive it in person." "Maybe it's something expensive. You usually have to sign for something like that." Tammy flashed a mysterious grin and said, "Could it be something from Elliot? Aren't the two of you in the middle of a passionate relationship?"Avery responded without hesitation, "It probably isn't him. He has never used a courier service to send me gifts. Even if he orders something from a different country, he would normally have it sent to his place, check it, and then only give it to me." "Tsk! Hearing you say all this is making me fall in love with him all over again. After all, he once was my dream man!" Tammy picked up her teaspoon and s

Avery did not expect the fight to be about such a trivial matter."Of course, I wouldn't be mad, but it's true that it's not a very polite thing to do," she said patiently. "You should wait for me to come home and get my permission first. If I give you my permission, then only may you open it." "Okay, Mommy. Can I open it now?""Sure!" As Avery picked up the package, worry marred her features. "Layla, I don't know who sent this package or what's inside. I think it's better if I open it."Avery worried that the contents inside would be something inappropriate, and it would be bad if the children got shocked by it."Okay…" Layla was even more curious now.Avery picked up a small pair of scissors and cut through the tape on the package.The nanny walked over and asked, "Is Mike coming home for dinner tonight Avery?""He's got a business meeting tonight, so he won't be joining us," Avery answered."Alright. I'll serve dinner now then.""Okay."Avery placed the scissors down aft

Judging by the way she looked, it was impossible to tell that Avery was fine.Even the children could feel that something was wrong, and it was something serious."Take your sister and have dinner on the table, Hayden. I'll bring dinner upstairs to your mother," said the nanny.Hayden took Layla's hand and led her to the dining room.The nanny prepared a tray of food and brought it upstairs.In the master bedroom on the second floor, Avery's fingers trembled as she pulled the tape recorder out of the box.Without a hint of hesitation, she hit play."Rumor has it that Professor James Hough had a pupil whose skills surpassed his! Tell me who it is!""I don't know. The professor never told me."The familiar voice on the recording caused Avery to tremble more!It was Wesley's voice!"I see. Then I'll cut your finger off and send it to the candidate whom we think most likely is… Let's see if we can get her to come here."His ominous voice sent chills down her spine.What follow

The nanny and the bodyguard were also dumbfounded."Where are you going, Miss Tate? It is rather late."Avery was rigid. She could not pretend that everything was fine, nor could she bring herself to fake a smile for the children.She looked at Hayden with her red eyes and said, "Take care of your sister Hayden."Hayden had always been strong, but his mother's face startled him.No matter how mature he was, he was still just a five-year-old boy.He reached out to grab onto Avery's sleeve and said in a voice filled with fear and worry. "Where are you going, Mommy?"In the past, Avery would patiently explain things to the children. Even if she had to tell a white lie, she would still make sure to comfort them.Presently though, all she could feel was the cold, and she could not think straight. The only thing on her mind was that she had to go to Bridgedale and save Wesley, no matter the danger or the price she had to pay!Wesley had been abducted because of her. He would not b

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
