"She told my boss that she was willing to allow my boss to continue her relationship with you, but my boss wouldn't agree to it," said the bodyguard.Elliot's expression froze. "I'll warn her not to disturb you again."He was saying that to Avery."Okay. You should go back and rest!" Avery could see that he was not feeling very well, and it was probably because he had not slept much the previous night.Elliot nodded. "Let me know when you are planning to have your surgery." "Okay."After Elliot and Aaron left, Avery ate a few bites of food and set her utensils down. "Why aren't you eating?" The bodyguard saw that she had not eaten much porridge. "I don't have an appetite." She touched her stomach. "Maybe I'm a little nervous because I'm about to go under the knife.""It's fine." Jed gave her some milk. "You'll be better once the operation is over.""Okay. What other tests are going to be done today?" She took a sip of milk.Jed explained the different tests that he would

"Get away from him? You make it sound easy." Nick sipped some tea. "Don't even bother entertaining the thought of getting away from him unless he's dead.""You're right, and I gathered you all here today specifically to discuss this." Elliot looked at them. "Gary took all of Mickey and Julian's assets which he'll later hand to all of you. You can all take whatever you want other than Midas Enterprises, which he founded."The three men stared blankly at Elliot. "Are you sure?""Yes. Midas Enterprises is Gary's, and he'll leave it to Ruby." Elliot took a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. "You will control this entire place once everything is settled. I, on the other hand, will return to Aryadelle.""Have you really thought it through, Elliot?" Nick patted him on the shoulder. "You might have succeeded in Aryadelle, but Gary's existing wealth in Ylore is on par with yours in Aryadelle. As long as you spend your days with Ruby and make her happy, everything Gary owns will be you

Layla sighed. "Mommy! Let's not talk about homework! I've already finished everything, but I don't know whether it's correct. No one checks my homework when you're not at home.""Didn't I find a tutor for you? I'll call her later and ask her to check it for you.""Oh..." Layla had been enjoying herself so much for the past two months and homework was the last thing on her mind.Avery looked at her daughter's little face and said, "Do you want to see Daddy, Layla?"She had caught a glimpse of Elliot staring at her from the corner of her eye.He must have wanted to see Layla.As soon as Layla heard the word 'Daddy', she looked as shocked as a frightened kitten and frowned immediately, "I don't want to see him! He's a meanie! The worse meanie! You wouldn't leave me if it wasn't for him, and I wouldn't be this unhappy!"Avery did not know how to answer."Mommy, why did you ask me if I wanted to see him? Is he just beside you?" Layla asked suddenly after lambasting Elliot earlier.

"Will you be recuperating at home?""Yes. The doctor assured me that it wasn't serious.""Alright then. I'll pick you up tomorrow," Elliot said, then turned to Paul and continued, "I'll have to trouble you tonight then."Paul was silent.Gary looked at Paul after Elliot left."I know you're upset that he stole Ruby from you, but there's nothing you can do about it. Who told you to be less capable than he is?" Gary said coldly. "If you can't accept it, you should devote your energy to learning from him. You can replace him if you can surpass him.""I understand, Father.""Why is Ruby feeling unwell?" Gary asked."She didn't tell me in detail. She just said that she wouldn't be able to come and see you for the next couple of days, but once everything's settled, she'll explain it to you at the soonest opportunity," Paul explained. "I believe she has a plan.""Ruby might be young, but she's a very smart woman." Gary's eyes sparkled even though he was feeling weak. "The Goulds' fut

"You can call Jed or my bodyguard before coming over. Wait until I've woken up before you come," she said. "Don't worry too much. The operation will go smoothly.""I'll stop worrying only when you're able to leave this place.""I will be able to get out of here safely. And you will too." She put on her clothes and picked up her phone. "I'm leaving then.""Okay. Be careful on the way there, and call me if anything happens.""I will."She came out of the hotel and walked to the hospital.It took her less than ten minutes to return to the ward.Fortunately, Jed and the bodyguard had not returned yet.After going to the bathroom to wash up, she walked back to the bedside and picked up her phone to turn it on.She realized that Jed had sent her a message at four that morning.[I can't do the operation. My girlfriend forced me to go back home. I had no choice but to leave. I'm sorry!]Avery could not have been more stunned when she read that. She knew that Jed had a girlfriend aft
