When His Eyes Opened Chapter 778
If there was one thing Elliot hated most in his life, it would be being threatened by someone.'So Charlie has something to hold against me, but won't move because he is waiting for the right time?' He thought to himself, 'ha! I won't give him the chance. If he won't act, then I'll destroy him along with the box. Even if the fire doesn't kill him, his house would be burned into ruins.'The siren of the ambulance echoed in the air through the silent night.In Starry River Villa, Hayden had been woken up by the noises, and was shocked when he saw the sky painted with red.He crawled down the bed and stepped towards the door in the dark, before opening it and walking towards Mike's room.Mike had just fallen deeply asleep and had not noticed all the noises on the outside."The sky is red." Hayden pointed outside the window to show Mike.Mike rubbed his eyes and saw what was happening outside, so he took out his phone to check the news."A fire broke out in a residential building i

Mike summarized the incident in simple wordings and sent it to Avery while attaching a photo of Elliot that he took in secret along with the message.It was ten at night in Bridgedale. Avery had just gotten into bed and had yet to fall asleep.When she saw the message Mike sent, she tried to picture the reason behind Elliot's action, but her lack of imagination left her helpless in figuring out why he would suddenly attack the Tierney siblings.'If it was done to seek revenge from Chelsea for causing me to go into delivery early, why would he burn Charlie's apartment down, and why did he choose to do so at such a time?''There has to be something else that happened between him and the Tierney siblings.''Had it been any time in the past, I might have confronted Elliot to ask him what happened between them, but I no longer have the energy for that.''Taking care of the three children has taken up eighty percent of my time, and what little was left is reserved for treating Adrian's

As Wanda was leaving, Charlie's eyes were filled with resentment and tears.'I'm not dead yet! How dare Wanda look down on me?!' He thought, ' it's bad enough that Elliot doesn't consider me his rival. Who does Wanda think she is to look down on me?'At the memorial service, personal belongings that represented Shea were carried onto the car after the ceremony and they were meant to be buried next to Rosalie's grave.The rest of the guests headed towards the hotel for the lunch service; Mike was about to take the children to the hotel as well, but noticed that both Layla and Hayden were staring at Elliot, who was about to deliver Shea's belongings to the graveyard."He is going to the graveyard. Do you two want to go with him?" Mike asked.Hayden nodded and Layla copied his motion."Alright! Let's go with him, then." With that, Mike took them along with him and headed towards the graveyard.The graveyard was surrounded by mountains and the temperature was extremely chilling.On

Zoe's story was nothing but an enormous lie, yet he was even more laughable than her. At least Zoe knew that it was a lie from the start, but he had believed her story up until now."Avery Tate, why would you do this to me?" Elliot mumbled as he quietly sobbed, "why?"All he received in response was the sound of the wind blowing.On the way home, Layla muttered in confusion, "why isn't Dad happy when he finds out that Mom was the one who performed surgeries on Shea?""Layla, would you be mad if your brother lies to you?" Mike tried to explain with a metaphor. "Your dad wouldn't have been upset if he had known about it all along.""Why didn't Mom tell him, then?""Because your mom didn't want anything to do with him at first. She was afraid that if she gets involved with him, he would come and take you and your brother away from her. By the time their relationship improved, it was too long in the past for her to mention."Layla still seemed slightly confused by Mike's explanation

Layla was not a clueless child. She glanced at the woman who followed her in with the corner of her eyes. She did not know this person at all, so why would she claim that there was something she needed from Layla?Layla relieved herself and swiftly pulled her pants back up."Don't be nervous, Layla. I'm not a bad person," the woman immediately started talking once Layla was dressed. "I am sent by Elliot."Layla instantly lowered her defenses at the mention of Elliot. Though she did not officially admit that Elliot was her father, he had been nice to her; at the very least, she believed that Elliot wouldn't hurt her.She sighed a breath of relief and said, "you scared me, Auntie! Why did Elliot sent you here to look for me? Why didn't he just contact me directly? I saw him just yesterday!"Guilt flashed by the woman's eyes. "It's more of an important matter and it's peculiar, so he was worried that he might scare you if he talked to you directly; that's why he told me to come inste

But how did Elliot realize that she was the one who took the box?Unsettled, Layla had no clue as to what to do when there was no one else she could rely on."I… I don't know… Auntie, I want to go home." Layla lowered her gaze and tried to exit the bathroom.The woman stood before the door and stopped her from getting out."Layla, I know that you might be a little scared right now. So am I," she lowered her voice, "but if you don't tell me where the box is, not only will Elliot me, he will kill the bodyguard who sent you here as well. You should have heard what kind of a man he is, right?"Layla shook her head frantically without a moment of hesitation. "Is he going to kill me, too, if I don't say anything? No way! He won't do that!""He is definitely not going to kill you. You are his daughter, after all. But do you want to see the bodyguard who sent you here die?" The woman's voice was soft, yet filled with threats.Layla's eyes reddened as she sobbed, "no… I don't want my bod

"That lady was sent by Elliot," Layla explained to the bodyguard in all seriousness, "Elliot is a bad person! She said that if I don't give the box up, Elliot will kill you. You protect me every single day, how can I let him kill you?"The bodyguard felt flattered and surprised at the same time. "Why don't I feel like that's the kind of man Elliot Foster is? If one beats a dog, one has to answer to its master. I am hired by your mother. How is he supposed to explain himself to your mother if he kills me?"Layla blinked blankly. "So, you are saying that he doesn't dare to offend Mom?""Yeah! When has he ever bullied anyone in this house? Whether it's you and your brother, or your Uncle Mike, he has always been quite polite when he sees you all," the bodyguard rationalized, "why would he kill me when I didn't do anything to him?""But I stole from him," Layla mumbled while tugging at the corner of her clothes. "I stole that box from his house and it contains something really importan

After confirming that, Wanda rushed out of the company and drove towards Starry River Villa.She arrived at Starry River Villa at the fastest speed she could manage and spotted the scene of the car crash as soon as she drove onto the highway outside the villa.She got out of the car and stepped towards the crowd that surrounded the scene.A black car and a white car had crashed into one another to the extent that both were deformed; the scene was chaotic and covered with a terrifying amount of blood. Apart from the blood, the one thing that was most eye-catching had to be the person laying on the ground covered by a large piece of white fabric.It was not a person, but a body.Wanda stood amongst the crowd and studied the clothes of the deceased under the white rug… From the clothes alone, she had come to a conclusion that it was the person she had hired.Her blood instantly ran cold.'So what if she is dead? Where is the box?! Where is the box??' She thought.She desperately w

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
