Chapter 786

Author: Simple Silence
Who took the content inside the box?

The truth seemed so close, yet so far. The one thing he could be certain of was that the person who took it was around him.

The car crash took place on the highway outside Starry River Villa, so there was a high chance that the box, or the content inside the box leaked from Starry River Villa, it would be hard to explain why the car crash took place there otherwise.

In the hospital.

Though Chelsea managed to survive, she was suffering excruciating pain because the left side of her face had been burned. The doctor had told her that there would be a scar on her left cheek and it was unsalvageable.

She had been tending to her looks with extra care since she was young, and couldn"t accept the fact that her face was ruined.

It was more devastating than death, but even death didn"t come easy.

"You should realize the reality now, Chelsea!" Mrs. Tierney sat by the bed and said in a cold voice, "I told you to stay away from Elliot Foster long ago and

    From what he had seen, Charlie couldn't speak, so he wouldn't be able to make any command or steal the content of the box."Mr. Foster, Chelsea is right next door, would you like to go see her?" The bodyguard asked Elliot, "I heard that her face is ruined. For someone who emphasizes beauty so much, a scar on her face would be a living hell for her."The bodyguard only mentioned it because he knew that Elliot hated Chelsea.Elliot had no intention of visiting Chelsea at first, but stopped at the bodyguard's suggestion, before stepping towards Chelsea's room and opening the door.Chelsea glanced over and met his eyes; instantly, her eyes were filled with fear.She covered her bandages-wrapped face and subconsciously avoided eye contact."I thought you ran to another country?" Elliot swallowed hard and mocked sarcastically, "how dare you come back?"Tears welled up in her eyes as she uttered in despair, "I'm not running anymore, Elliot! Just kill me!"She moved the blanket away an

    'Why is he here all of a sudden? I've already returned the box to him!' Layla thought.Scared that he was here looking for trouble, she immediately ran out of the living room and shouted, "Uncle Mike!"Layla's scream had frightened Avery.When Layla dropped the phone to the ground, the camera was faced at the ceiling of the living room so Avery could only attempt to guess what had happened from the noises as she couldn't see anything at all.One thing that she could be certain of was that Layla was in a dangerous situation."Layla!" Avery grabbed onto her phone tightly and stepped out of her room.Her heart sank; though she was in Bridgedale at the moment, if something was about to happen to her daughter, Avery would not hesitate to travel back to Aryadelle right away.Elliot scowled when he saw the way Layla ran off in fear. He had met with Layla plenty of times and though she had never been polite with him before, she had never acted so frightened either.He raised his hand t

    Layla took the phone and looked at her mother from the screen, before muttering, "Mom, he didn't knock when he came in…so I thought bad people had come inside…"She did not have the courage to confess to Avery.If only her brother was around.Layla decided that he would tell her brother about what happened when he got home so that he could help come up with a solution.Avery relaxed at Layla's explanation and said gently, "Layla, I feel like you are in a bad mood today. Did something happen at your classmate's place? Don't be scared, you can tell me anything."Elliot stood by the side and felt odd when he heard what Avery said.'Layla went to her classmate's house today?' He thought, 'it must have something to do with why she is acting odd.'"I'm fine, Mom," Layla said while sneaking a glance at Elliot's direction."If something happened, you have to tell me. You can call me anytime you want," Avery reminded."I know, Mom," Layla said and blew a kiss at the screen.After the

    Layla became even more upset after that.Elliot was not at all surprised.Everything would make sense if Layla was the one who took the box; it explained why they couldn't seem to find out who stole the box because no one would suspect a four-year-old child.Layla was very dependent at the time, and who would suspect a child who couldn't take care of herself?Apart from that, it also explained why the content inside the box was never publicized or used to blackmail Elliot after it was taken."Layla, what kind of clothes did that woman wear?" Elliot sat her down on a chair, before wiping her tears away with tissue. When her sobbing had ceased, he continued, "was she a gray coat?""How do you know?" Layla looked at him, red-eyed. "Did you get the box back?"Elliot remained thoughtful for a while, before he decided to tell her the truth. "No, that lady who lied to you had died in a car crush. Whatever's in the box had been taken. Don't be sad though, what's lost is lost.""But my

    The only reason Layla would so obediently call him Daddy was because they were the only ones in the room.If Hayden was there, Layla would never dare to do so.Hayden hated Elliot so much. Between Hayden and Elliot, she would surely stand with Hayden.Elliot's dark eyes instantly turned into a gentle delight."If you don't get angry with Robert, I'll call you Daddy once more." Layla saw the smiles on Elliot's face, so she started bargaining with him, "Robert is still young. I have to protect him."Elliot's eyes reddened a little. He said hoarsely, "Layla, I'm not angry at Robert. I'm angry at myself. I wasn't thoughtful enough. I did not care enough for Shea.""Daddy, this has nothing to do with you," Layla corrected him sternly. "Shea wanted to save Robert. Even if you didn't let her do it, she would still secretly do it. Just like how I wanted to steal your things. I knew it was wrong, but I still wanted to do it."Layla's analogy was somewhat inappropriate, but she called him

    Layla said confusedly, "Hayden, what do you mean by the new son? Are you talking about Robert? Is there a difference between new and old? You and Robert are all his sons, right?"Hayden was speechless."If he were to have another daughter with Mommy in the future, will I be the old daughter then?" Layla said, "Hayden, I don't think Daddy is the type of person that only likes new things.""He treats you well so you think he is a good person, but he does not treat me that way!" Hayden did not want to think about anything that has to do with Elliot. "Don't mention him in front of me, I don't want to hear about him.""Hayden, when he was bad to you back then, that's because he didn't know that you're his son. It has to be that way." Although Layla was a little afraid of Hayden getting angry, she did not want to see Hayden and Elliot in such a bad relationship."Even if he didn't know I was his son, he knows that I am Mommy's son," Hayden retorted, "When he goes mad, he wouldn't think

    Elliot did not know the owner of this cake brand, so he felt that there must be someone else behind this."Mr. Foster, this event is indeed done by our marketing and promotion department. As for how they pick the kids to work with, I don't know. I only see results," The owner of the cake brand said to Elliot honestly, "I'll look for the person in charge of this activity, please wait a while."When Elliot heard the explanation, he took up his cup and took a sip.A moment later, the owner of the cake brand finished the call and looked at Elliot strangely in surprise."Mr. Foster, my manager said that people from your company contacted us and requested that we add that kid to the list of our promotional activities. My manager did it because of you, which was why he contacted that kid…"Elliot's gaze instantly darkened. The person behind this was extremely bold! How dare they use his name throughout the entire process. What was unbelievable was how they could trick everyone there.If

    After Elliot explained his reason, Mike bawled in a fit of laughter."From your gift-picking skills, I have reasons to believe that you only attracted Avery because of your face and your money," Mike teased him mercilessly."She doesn't like my money," Elliot corrected him."You can earn money, that means you have capabilities. You're not all useless." Mike roared in laughter, "By the way, I heard that Layla has called you Daddy last night. You got a daughter for free. I'm sure you're delighted?""You sure don't mince your words." Elliot furrowed his brows.What did he mean by free? Layla was his daughter. This was a fact. If Layla was willing to let him raise her, he would take the time out to do so too."The truth is always harsher. How are you and Avery doing? Are you still at a standoff?" Mike changed into a subject that made Elliot feel worse. "Shea's funeral has been done. Let her rest in peace! You still have to live your life.""Are you asking me to go to Bridgedale and

    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
