Elliot stared at the photo of the middle-aged man once again, but he still did not have a clue as to who that was.Perhaps this man appeared near the mansion and smiled at Elliot last night because he really did have a psychological disorder.Elliot scrunched up the piece of paper, tossed it into the trash, then walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.After Mrs. Scarlet saw Elliot go upstairs, she immediately went into the kitchen and called Mrs. Cooper."I heard that Master Elliot got into a fight with Eric Santos," said Mrs. Cooper. "Master Elliot wasn't the one who started it, though. They both left after the fight.""I see. I was wondering why he got back so early!""How's he doing?" Mrs. Cooper asked considerately."He doesn't look too happy, but he seems alright." Then, Mrs. Scarlet said, "Did things go well between him and the kids today?"Mrs. Cooper laughed on the other end of the line. "He didn't get to spend time with the kids today. He spent all day
Once the other bodyguards heard the report, they immediately responded, "Roger that! We're moving in!"About five minutes later, the sound of kicks and punches as well as a man's shrill howl of pain could be heard outside the mansion.When Mrs. Scarlet heard the commotion, she hurried out to check on things.She saw two bodyguards beating up a man and asked, "What's going on? Who's this?"One of the bodyguards took a break from hitting the man and answered Mrs. Scarlet's question., "This is the man from last night, Mrs. Scarlet! He was acting suspicious and wandering by the mansion walls. Even if he doesn't do anything bad, he still deserves a beating! Otherwise, he'll be coming back every day and making the boss mad!""Oh…" Mrs. Scarlet took a closer look at the middle-aged man who was curled up in a ball on the ground."Do you still remember me, Mrs. Scarlet?" The middle-aged man lifted his head, brushed the hair off of his forehead, then gazed at Mrs. Scarlet with clear, blood
Nathan had been a scoundrel his entire life and had never been afraid of anything.However, now that he was faced with Elliot's savage, malicious expression, he felt fear for the first time in his lie!He knew that if he continued to provoke Elliot, he would be beaten to death right there and then.He immediately swallowed the words that he had wanted to say.He had a lapse in judgment! He had mistakenly underestimated Elliot's temper! He should not have recklessly shown up here like this.All he wanted right now was to be able to walk out of there alive."Mrs. Scarlet! My ribs are broken! Hurry and call 911!" Nathan did not dare speak to Elliot, so he howled at Mrs. Scarlet instead.Mrs. Scarlet saw Nathan lying on the ground with his bloody face and twitching body and got so scared that she began to search for her phone to call 911."Don't go soft on this b*st*rd, Mrs. Scarlet!" Elliot roared loudly.Mrs. Scarlet immediately snapped out of her daze. "Get the bodyguards to th
"You must be exhausted, Avery!" said Mrs. Cooper. "I just wanted to tell you that I've put all of the gifts that Hayden and Layla received today in the storage room on the first floor.""Alright. I'll deal with them tomorrow." Avery caressed Robert's head, then said gently, "Did you have fun today, sweetie? I'll throw you a birthday party when you turn a year old, okay?"Mrs. Cooper sighed with a smile, "Time sure flies by. Our dear Robert is already turning six months old!""I know.""Take a shower and go to bed, Avery. You still have work tomorrow!" Mrs. Cooper said.Avery nodded, then headed toward her bedroom.She had planned to take a shower before she went to bed, but the bed seemed to be calling her name the moment she walked into the room.She walked over to the bed in a daze and lay down. She had planned to rest for a bit and take a shower once she recuperated some energy. She ended up falling into a deep slumber shortly after.Avery regularly had nightmares. They neve
Avery was in good spirits after a good night's sleep, but the phone call from the vice president made her frantic with anxiety.After the phone call, she received the address to Sierra University from the vice president.Next, she had to book a flight and rush over.Just as she opened up the airline app, the alarm on her phone went off. She was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.She held her chest and let out a long sigh."What is there to be anxious about?"It is just a training course. It would be fine even if I was late." thought Avery. She had not taken her tardiness seriously while she was a student, and she saw no reason to take it seriously now that she was no longer a student. Besides, she was not the one who signed up for the course. She was already doing the vice president a huge favor by agreeing to attend it in his place. There was no reason at all to be so nervous.At that thought, Avery fell back onto the bed and planned on getting some rest.She g
"Really? What a coincidence." Then, Tammy teased, "Could the both of you be going to the same place?"Avery had no idea.She had not asked Elliot where he was going on his business trip yesterday.She was curious now, but she refused to ask him about it.After all, what would it matter if they went to the same place?By the time Avery washed up in the bathroom, changed her clothes, and walked out of the room, the twins had already left for school.Robert was sleeping in the crib in the living room while Mrs. Cooper was busying away in the kitchen."I'm going on a trip tomorrow, Mrs. Cooper," Avery said when she arrived at the kitchen. "I'll be away for a week."Mrs. Cooper was stunned. "Why are you leaving so suddenly? The kids would miss you if they don't see you at home when they get back in the evening.""I'm going to attend a training course. I promised someone that I would go.""I see. The kids will understand since it's for work. Are you going alone or is someone going
Mike heard the meaning behind her words, and he brutally shattered her illusion, "No matter where he's going, it's impossible that he's going to Sierra University. Why would someone as high and mighty as him willingly share the secrets to his success with a bunch of strangers? Take a look online and you'll see that he's never accepted many interviews. Besides, he's a man of a few words. Do you really think that he could stand up on stage and give a lecture?"Mike's words woke Avery up from her dream."I know Elliot. Why the heck am I harboring such delusions?!" thought Avery. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and Mike did not continue to make fun of her."How about I give Chad a call and ask him about it? Maybe he really is going to Mount Sierra?" Mike stopped making fun of Avery, but he could not stop himself from making fun of Elliot. "Mount Sierra is a nice place. They've got beautiful mountains and fresh air. It's a great place to go on vacation. Maybe he's just saying he
"It's not like he takes me with him on every business trip." Chad put down his glass of water, then asked sharply, "Why is Avery suddenly asking about Mr. Foster? Can't she ask him herself?""She left for a trip today, too. It's also for a week. Which was why she asked if I knew where your boss was going." Mike let out a hearty guffaw. "She was wondering if he was going to the same place as she is. I told her it was impossible! Why would Elliot Foster ever attend some ridiculous professional training course? With that temper, the only thing he is suited for is being the king of hell. He is certainly not fit to be an instructor! I can't even imagine his stone-cold face eloquently giving a lecture in front of a crowd!"Chad furrowed his brows as he felt that something was off. "Where is Avery going?""Sierra University. What about your boss?""Ah! He's going to Mount Sierra too!" Chad was suddenly in high spirits. "Is Avery going to Sierra Univesity to give a lecture too?"Mike burs
