Shaun was sobbing on the phone, and Avery knew that she had to hurry back. Her mind went blank at the sudden turn of events. The core technology of Tate Industries had been stolen, and most pathetic of all was that they had no idea who had stolen it.

With Mike and Avery both out of the country, the miscreant had taken the opportunity to steal the technology.

The company's core technology was stored in a microchip behind layers of encryption. Hence, although the chip had been stolen, there was a high chance that the thief had yet to decode it. However, decoding it was an eventuality.

The world was never short of incidents, just like Zoe's suicide. Another event that she had failed to predict.

At seven in the morning, Hayden stepped out of his room and found the entire mansion drowning in silence. It did not sound like there was another soul in the mansion. He went over to Avery's room and noticed that the sheets were in a mess, but there was no one around.

"Mom!" Hayden shouted lo

    Her secretary immediately helped her up while Shaun called an ambulance.Once Avery was taken to the hospital, the news of it spread like wildfire."It looks like Tate Industries is really in a crisis this time! Avery Tate was all high and mighty before but now she has to be carried away in an ambulance. How pathetic!""Isn't the baby she's carrying suffering the most? I heard that it's Elliot Foster's, is it true?""Who knows? Apart from the one she is carrying, she has two other kids… Those two are definitely not Elliot Foster's, or he would have fought for custody.""Avery sure has a chaotic personal life! All things aside, Tate Industries is doomed this time! With their core technology stolen, how could they continue selling their products at such a high price? She will soon lose her throne in the high-end market!""It's a good thing for the consumer, though.""But it's fatal damage to Avery! It's no wonder she passed out!"…When Wanda caught the news, she cheerfully open

    Just then, the doctor came back with the documents and walked over to the bed. "Miss Tate, I have just filed your documents."Chad overheard him and tensed. "What happened, Avery? Why are you hospitalized? Which hospital are you in right now? I'll go there right away!"Unable to lie, Avery told him the truth.Once she hung up, her secretary said, "I will go make the payment, Miss Tate.""Thank you. You can go back to the office as soon as you are done with that!""I can stay here and take care of you, Miss Tate.""It's fine. Go back and tell the others I'm okay. I will call Shaun once I figure out what to do about the current situation.""Okay, Miss Tate."Twenty minutes later and Chad was at the hospital. After checking on Avery's condition, he said, "I've called Mrs. Cooper to take care of you. Rest well and don't think about anything else.""I feel better now," she said calmly."Okay. I've told the bodyguards to get you some food. Rest after you have eaten," he said."Oka

    "Isn't that Elliot Foster? Sterling Group's boss? Why is he here? Mr. Locklyn, you said that Mr. Mike is back, but where is he? Why did you lie to us?" said an employee in protest.Shaun explained with resignation, "You must have all heard about the relationship between our boss and Mr. Foster. Our president has been hospitalized, and Mr. Foster has decided to help." "Oh… It's good that he is helping, but why take our phone? It feels weird.""My phone has been confiscated as well, but Mr. Foster must have his reasons for doing so," Shaun said.Everyone turned their attention to the man sitting in the president's chair.Elliot oozed intimidation. He had a dark expression on his face. Under his intense stare, all the employees felt as though they had committed some crime when in fact, they had not."Some of you must know how the microchip was stolen." Elliot scanned the crowd with sharp eyes. "I will give you one minute. If no one comes forth within one minute, I will deal with yo

    Elliot stared down at them coldly as he pursed his lips."I'm finding that traitor even if that's the last thing I do!" he thought.When Avery opened her eyes the next morning, the first thing she saw was Mike's face. "Avery, you're awake!" Mike adjusted her bed and passed her a bowl of soup. "Have some soup."She had not fully woken up yet and accepted the bowl dazedly."How are you feeling today?" Mike sat down by the bed and stared at her face. "Why didn't you tell me that something like this has happened? Why did you come back on your own? I would die of guilt if something had happened to you."Avery sobered. "You were drunk. How was I supposed to let you know?""Alright! I shouldn't have drunk with Elliot!" Mike sighed and said, "But we should really thank him this time. He helped us find the traitor."Avery blinked when she heard that. "Who was it? Who betrayed us?" she asked in a voice rough with emotion. "The technical department." Mike lowered his head because he wa

    She thought she was dreaming because she could see the halo of light surrounding him. She stepped toward him and he turned around abruptly. She saw his brooding eyes and sensed the warmth radiating off his body, and it was then that she finally realized that it was not a dream."Why did you get out of bed?" He held her arm and asked, "Did I wake you?"She shook her head. "I slept for too long, and whenever that happens, I wake up feeling dizzy." "Why don't we go down for a walk, then?"Elliot had spoken to the doctor and had learned that there was nothing wrong with the baby. The main issue was that Avery was emotionally unstable, and this had caused her hyperventilation and spike in heart rate. Once she calmed down and rested, she would recover, but the child would be affected if she failed to do so.Avery glanced outside the window and saw how bright it was outside, so she nodded and stepped out of the room with Elliot."Avery, don't worry about the trouble your company is exp

    The headline of an article stood out to her. [Core Technology of Tate Industries Stolen! Where Would This Company Go Next?]There were plenty of comments below.[Tate Industries only started two years ago, right? Are they closing down already? I highly suspect that the building their office is in is haunted!][Does no one else realize how expensive Tate Industries' products are? The quality isn't bad, but they completely rule the high-end drone market. I hate it!][Hehe! So is the price for drones is going to drop now? Clap-clap!][My dad works for Tate Industries, and I don't want to see it go down! The company treats its employees with care. They have great benefits, and most importantly, the president is kind to everyone! My dream is to work there once I graduate…]Avery exited the article and clicked open her messenger to find Mike's message.[Wanda has the microchip!]Avery was not surprised by this. She had, however, not expected Wanda to act this quickly. That aftern

    She blushed."Please, do not pry into President Tate's personal life," said Shaun in a gentle reminder to the reporter."I just want to know if Elliot Foster has anything to do with the 'Win-Win Alliance'. It's a brilliant plan.""So, are you hinting that President Tate could not have come up with such an idea herself?" asked Shaun sharply."Of course not. One of my colleagues captured the moment when Elliot Foster was seen entering Tate Industries at night a week ago. Was he there to help manage the operation?"The reporter had now officially mentioned Elliot's name and the blush on Avery's face deepened.The crowd focused on her and waited for her reply.After a few moments of silence, she answered sincerely, "The Win-Win Alliance is a solution that I came up with after discussing the matter with my director of operations. As for the rest, I have no further comment."The reporter changed the subject and asked, "Miss Tate, Madam Tate of Wonder Technologies claimed that they ha

    Avery could feel her face burning. "When have I said anything about getting back together with him?" "Just now! You told me how much he had done for you, and you said that you also wanted to get him a gift and dinner. It's so obvious that you've fallen for him," Tammy said. "Don't forget what I said. I am really accurate when it comes to reading people. That Nora girl might look tame, but she is even better at scheming than Zoe is!" Avery remained thoughtful for a few seconds and said, "But she doesn't have leverage.""She can create leverage. So long as she doesn't give up, you will always be her biggest enemy. She and Chelsea will definitely team up against you." Tammy removed her facial mask and continued, "Elliot Foster is one big chunk of meat, and everyone wants a bite. Avery, be careful!"Avery felt calmer after talking to Tammy."Not only does he have to fire Nora, but he also needs to fire Chelsea!" said Tammy. "If you are too embarrassed to tell him this, I will talk t

    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
