When His Eyes Opened Chapter 558
Elliot did not want to go home, nor did he want to attend the team building session.Chad saw the agony Elliot was in, and he said, "Why don't you go on a vacation? Where do you want to go? I'll book a hotel for you."Elliot thought for a long while before finally saying, "I want to drink."Chad was speechless. "Is this why he attended that meeting?" thought Chad. An hour later and Elliot was drunk, just like he wished. Once he had sent Elliot home, Chad sighed in relief. Although drinking was not good for him, at least Elliot did not consume that much alcohol. If he had, Chad would not be able to rest easy. Exiting Elliot's mansion, Chad called Mike. "Doesn't Avery feel in the least bit guilty? Mr. Foster put a lot of effort and money into saving her, but what does she do? She hurts him." It was night in Bridgedale at that moment.Mike rubbed the middle of his brows and yawned. "What nonsense are you talking about? Hmm?""Didn't Avery break up with him? How cruel and hear

The reporter claimed that Avery had scammed Elliot out of his money. As Avery had started her company in Bridgedale, Bridgedale was her second home. The reporter held that it was inconceivable that she be forced to ask Elliot for help when she had been kidnapped in her second home. [Does she not have connections and money to resolve the situation? Why did Elliot have to come in his private jet to rescue her?] stated the article. In the end, Elliot had dumped one and a half billion dollars only to return home sad and alone.The writer concluded that Avery had used their relationship to scam him out of his money!The article ended sarcastically, stating that it was ironic for such a smart individual like Elliot to be brought to his knees by a woman. The article also warned people to stay away from women, especially strong and beautiful women like Avery as these women rely on other men to gain their wealth. This topic was picked up by other media outlets too who ran with the story

Mike was in Bridgedale when he saw the article. He had not been deliberately searching for news pertaining to Aryadelle when he had come across the article. One of the higher-ups of Tate Industries had sent him the article. The reason they had done so was because the members of the media were calling up the company and trying to get some clarification on the validity of the claims circulating online. How could the higher-ups know anything about their boss's private life? They only knew that Avery had gone to Bridgedale. They did not know the reason for her trip, and they also had not known that she had been kidnapped.When Mike saw the news, he was furious. He sat down and drank his cup of coffee, and by the end of his cup, he still had not decided whether he wanted to inform Avery about the matter.Avery had been resting at home for the past few days. Apart from mealtimes, she had spent the entire time cooped up in her room. When she came out to have her meals, she seemed be

Back at Aryadelle, the weekend passed in a blink of an eye.On Monday, Elliot arrived at the office. Chad followed him and entered his office."Yes?" Elliot switched his computer open. He looked up at Chad."Mr. Foster, is your phone not on?" Chad inquired cautiously. It was only after Chad had asked this question that Elliot realized he did not have his phone with him. He spent the weekend sleeping in, but he still felt a little dizzy.It was possible to experience dizziness if one did not get enough sleep. Sleeping too much would have the same effect too. "Here's what happened, Mr. Foster." Chad gave Elliot a summary of the incident that took place over the weekend.When Elliot heard the news, a look of sheer disbelief appeared on his face."Get the bodyguard to bring me my phone," Elliot said to Chad. When Chad left, Elliot looked at his computer screen.The headline for that day popped up, [President of Sterling Group, Elliot Foster, Cheated of 1.5 Billion!]Although he h

Mike looked at her serious expressions and guessed, "Are you going to compensate him?! We don't have that kind of money!" Mike exclaimed with a gasp.Avery looked at him seriously. "How much money do we have right now?"Mike was stumped. "I have never given much attention to this. You're the boss! Don't you know how much money we have?"Avery had never truly looked into how much money they had either. "Take the children back to Aryadelle. I'll head back in a few days." Avery changed the topic. "Shouldn't you all head out by now? Don't miss the flight."Mike knew her well, and he said, "Avery, Elliot did not authorize the press release. Chad told me that one of his rivals had done that. They were trying to kill two birds with one stone. The money that he spent might be astronomical to us but not to Elliot. You don't have to concern yourself with how much he has chosen to spend. What you need to do now is to look after yourself and the child you are carrying!" "I know." Avery cal

Elliot subconsciously gripped his phone tighter.Their relationship had changed from that of a couple to that of a debtor and debtee. Although it was an ironic relationship, it was still a relationship. Elliot did not respond to her message. It did not matter that he did not agree with her; she would not listen to him anyway. After about fifteen minutes or so, his phone beeped again. Elliot tapped on the message and saw that it was a bank notification. One hundred and fifty-five million dollars had just been wired into his account. The note said repayment.Elliot looked at the soulless series of numbers. The light in his eyes dimmed gradually.This was perhaps all the money she could afford at that moment.…After Avery wired the money, she just stared at the phone. She felt slightly lost. "Has he not seen it?" she thought."Forget it," she thought. She had already sent him the message. He would see it sooner or later.Avery slid the phone into her bag and took the bag wit

Not once had he asked Avery to repay him. It was all her! She was the one forcing herself to return the money!"Do you think I asked her for the money?" he said with a slight tremor in his voice. Chad shook his head furiously. "I know that you would never ask her for the money, but you can tell her to stop trying to repay you." "Do you think she will listen to me?" Elliot said sarcastically. "Do you think she will listen to me?!"Chad was stunned."Did Mike tell you to come and tell me this?" Elliot swallowed. He furrowed his brows tighter.Chad shook his head. "He knew that it would be pointless— me talking to you. I just thought that even if it was pointless, I should try speaking to you. I thought that you would at least take a stand, and then, whatever she does next will not be on you." "I understand. Please leave."Elliot was not worried that the blame would fall on him. He was only afraid that something might happen to her. After Chad left, Elliot picked up his phone

Elliot picked up the cup of hot coffee on his desk and took a sip. The coffee was bitter, just like his mood.Avery had always been doing things her way. She had always been selfish. She had never considered how he felt. Even if they went their separate ways, she still found ways to torture him. It was lunchtime at Central University's elite class.A boy took his lunch and walked over to Hayden."Hayden, the woman that conned one and a half billion dollars out of Elliot Foster on the news is your mother, right?!" The boy who approached Hayden was called Daniel, and because he was so fat, everyone called him Fat Dan. "My mother is not a con-woman!" Hayden said angrily."I know. If your mother was a con-woman, Elliot Foster would have made things difficult for your mother." Then, Fat Dan asked curiously, "Your mother should be fine right now, right? She's at home, right?""My mother is abroad."Fat Dan adjusted his glasses and looked at Hayden intensely. "Oh… Why is she not ret

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
