Avery rushed out the door almost immediately.

Mike's reflexes were quick and he grabbed her in the nick of time!

"Avery! Elliot and Jun have already picked her up. She's no longer in danger!" Mike looked at her cold, resentful eyes and took a deep breath. "Don't be impulsive like her! She's already an adult now, not a child! Do you think she did the right thing when she went recklessly to Rosacus City all by herself?"

Avery yanked his arm away. "Her actions are wrong, but what you said earlier was wrong too. Don't tell a person to be kind if you've never experienced what they went through. You've never gone through her pain, so you have no right to judge her."

Her words left Mike speechless and there was no way for him to resist.

"I'll be frank with you. Elliot was the one who told me to come back and keep watch over you. He said he'd bring Tammy back unharmed." Mike dragged Avery onto the sofa and sat her down, "It takes two hours to go to Rosacus City and another two to come bac

    Chelsea sneered in despair. "I know. As of now, I can only let myself be hit and I can't fight back. If I did, everything I have left now will be taken away by you."Chelsea's words jolted Tammy's memory.With Elliot and Jun lending their support for her, she was never going to let Chelsea off the hook!She rushed up to Chelsea and gave her such a fast, tight slap that Chelsea did not even have the time to cover her ears!The slap caused Chelsea's mask to fall off."You're a maggot, Chelsea! You don't want anyone to see your face, but that's exactly what I'm going to do! You've got it coming for you! You'll die the most miserable of deaths!" Tammy's anger did not seem to decrease one bit and she raised her hand once more to vent out all the rage that she had in her.Elliot watched coldly at one side without interfering.Jun held Tammy in his arms and turned her around. "Tammy! We're in a police station! You can't beat her up here! She'll get her punishment for sure! And besides,

    "Elliot," she called out his name. "Just eat, will you!"He unconsciously curled his lips into a beautiful smile.Satisfied, he turned around and followed her into the living room.When Mrs. Cooper saw the two of them coming in, she immediately smiled and said, "Dinner's ready. I'll check and see if Layla has finished her homework."Layla had just started elementary school. She had homework every day, and lots of it too.Avery decided to hire a tutor just to supervise Layla's daily homework.Layla was not particularly enthusiastic about learning, and it would be quite difficult for her to keep up if she was not given the necessary push.Fortunately, Layla was quite obedient and basically worked hard to complete the special exercises Avery gave her.Elliot walked to the crib and hesitated for a few seconds before picking Robert up.Avery chided him, "Didn't you say you had no energy to step out of my courtyard because you're too hungry?"Elliot took it all in stride and was fi

    Elliot was afraid that his daughter would be bullied at school and felt worried even though he knew that there was only a very slim chance of that happening.His daughter was very beautiful and had a very assertive character. Everything would be fine and dandy if no one provoked her, but if someone pushed her buttons, she would definitely fight back even though she could not win against them!As a result, he had a word with the school in private."You're such an awesome father." Avery teased him."I know what I have done is far from enough, but I'll continue to try my best."Avery looked at Layla and explained, "Your brother will be back a bit later today. Your father was out the whole day to pick Aunt Tammy up and just came back. It was a pretty long day for him, so I left some food for him.""Oh," Layla answered after hearing the explanation.Since there was a reasonable explanation, she put away the attitude she had shown Elliot earlier."Mommy, I like my magic wand!"

    Elliot thought that lowering the car window would startle the man.He thought that the man would lower his head or turn around.Surprisingly, the man raised his head and looked at Elliot after the latter lowered the car window.Elliot frowned almost instantly and glared back at the man!In stark contrast to Elliot's angry emotions, the man grinned and smiled at him!A cold sweat broke out on Elliot's back, not because he was scared, but because the person was just simply bizarre.No one ever dared to roam near his villa, much less glance at him so boldly!Since it was difficult to see clearly at night, he could only vaguely make out the man's silhouette.It was a tall and slightly chubby middle-aged man. Elliot could confirm that he had never seen that man before!Why would someone like that appear outside his villa at night?The car drove immediately into the front yard. Elliot got out of the car and gave his bodyguard some instructions before walking into the villa.After

    Jun's reaction startled his parents.Tammy was caught between them and she felt lost because she did not know how to ease the tension in their relationship.Just as she was about to say something, Jun's mother remarked sarcastically, "Precious son? Do you still consider yourself a child when you're already thirty?""I could be sixty for all I care and still be your son!" Jun protested. His cheeks had turned red.Hilda picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely.Harold sneered. "Your mother and I agreed to let you remain with Tammy. Who said anything about asking you to stay with her family?"Jun was speechless.Hilda turned to Tammy. "Come here."Tammy's heartbeat quickened as she walked to her mother-in-law."Jun's father and I have been reflecting on everything for the past two days. Our reaction to what happened in the past to you was truly inappropriate. Jun's persistence has shown us that he is a responsible person and we're very pleased with that. At the same time, it

    It was a parcel from overseas.She had received an international parcel before. At that time, she opened it and saw Wesley's finger.It was a nightmare that would haunt her for the rest of her life.She took a deep breath and said to Mrs. Cooper, "You can go ahead and help me open it!""Okay, I'll do it outside." Mrs. Cooper took the parcel and walked out.Layla liked unpacking parcels, so she followed behind Mrs. Cooper to see what was inside."Let me comb your hair, Layla." Avery stopped her daughter. "Mrs. Cooper will bring in the parcel's contents for us to see later.""Oh, okay!" Layla came back to Avery and said whimsically, "Mommy, do you think the parcel might be a birthday present for me and Hayden?"Avery smiled and said, "Then who do you think sent it.""I don't know." Layla thought for a moment and did not know who it could be. However, she seemed very confident when she said, "I think it is a gift for me and Hayden because it's our birthday today! Think about it.

    The bodyguard had checked the surveillance footage from the previous night and discovered when it was that the man came.That man came after the sun set and waited there for about 20 minutes until Elliot came back.He left as soon as he spotted Elliot.His car was parked in the surveillance cameras' blind spot and was therefore not photographed. Without the car plate number, there was no way to find out his personal information.The surveillance cameras did not capture a clear shot of his face either, since he kept his head down when he saw Elliot.It was only when he and Elliot looked at each other that his face was caught by the camera.However, the lack of proper lighting meant that the picture was very blurry.The bodyguard took a screenshot of the video and printed it out to show Elliot.Elliot looked at the photo over and over again but could not quite remember where he had seen that person before. For some odd reason, however, he felt that the person was quite familiar.

    Avery glanced at him boldly too.She, like him, dressed up exceptionally well too, for she wore the most expensive dress in her wardrobe. Her makeup was light and delicate while her hair was tied up naturally, completing her elegantly stylish look."Let's go in," he said."You go ahead! I'll wait out here." Avery was waiting for Tammy.Elliot frowned. "Weren't you waiting for me?"Avery rolled her eyes. "That's quite the wishful thinking you're indulging yourself in. Not to mention your shamelessness. I'm here to welcome my guests, and I'm waiting for all of them to arrive. But that doesn't include you even though you're on the guest list."Elliot glanced at the guests in the banquet hall and said to her, "You should go on in and rest for a bit. I'll welcome the guests here.""Tammy and Jun are the only ones who aren't here," she said. "Could you give Jun a call and ask them?"Elliot took out his cell phone and dialed Jun's number, but the call went unanswered.He dialed Tammy

    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.
