Lilith opened her eyes wide. The light in her eyes scattered as if her soul had gone out of her body."Ten million, ten million, ten million!"She read it three times in her mind before realizing how much money it was.Ben saw her startled expression. Afraid that she would not believe it, he found the transfer record to Peter."Lilith, I'm not as stingy as you think. You keep saying that I dislike you, but I don't dislike you. Even if the two of us have never slept together...""Don't say that!" Lilith said. "Why are you giving my brother so much money? "She had planned to work hard to make money and return the one million.However now, one million had become ten million! The debt had increased considerably, and she did not know how she was going to repay such a large debt in such a short time. Ben took a deep breath. "This money is indeed not a small amount, but if it is an engagement gift for a future wife, it is not that high. You were pregnant with my child at the time. H

Susan hung up and guiltily turned the phone off. Avery saw everything and asked calmly, "Why don't you answer the call?"Susan picked up the water glass in front of her and took a sip. "I'm not familiar with this person."Susan knew that Avery and Wanda were enemies. She was at a loss these days because Avery treated her well and was willing to help her.She did not need a villa and ten million as long as she could continue living.Of course, sometimes she might think that with a villa and 10 million dollars, she would not need Elliot as a son.After all, Elliot was too indifferent a person, and he would not treat her well in the future.Since the last time they met, Elliot did not even give her a call, and she could not help but contact Avery, which was the reason for this meeting."Auntie, I know this person," Avery said. "I didn't expect her to contact you so soon. She knows that you are Elliot's biological mother, so she contacted you. When was the first time she called yo

The next day, Elliot received a call from Ben who was in Bridgedale."Elliot, I asked around, but I didn't hear about Wonder Technologies appearing in the Bridgedale market!""That news has been deleted.""Oh, there is only one possibility. Wonder Technologies is listed, but the time is not ripe, so there is only gossip for now. Wanda wants her company to appear in the market. If you hadn’t been staring at her all the time, with Wanda’s skills, she would have gotten listed.""When are you coming back?" Elliot asked."Didn't I tell you last time? I'll come back after Lilith's modeling competition is over." Ben did not want to go back for the time being.His relationship with Lilith had eased a lot compared to before.He seemed to see hope in front of him."Did you not look at the calendar?" said Elliot. "Don't you spend New Year's with your parents yearly? The day of Lilith's competition happens to be New Year's Eve."Ben was stunned. "I didn't look at the calendar. I'll spend

"Robert, don't put ink on your face." Elliot was not angry when he saw the couplet destroyed.Looking at Robert's little black hands, his clothes full of black ink stains, and his mottled little black face, Elliot furrowed his brows."I ignore you for a few minutes, and you find some ink to play with?" Avery walked up to Robert and undressed him. "How did you get the ink? I didn't see you crawling on the table!"Robert understood what his mother said and pointed his little hand to the side.On a chair next to it, there was a bottle of ink."I took it out while looking for ink, but I forgot to put it back," Elliot explained. "I don't blame my son.""Don't be too protective of him. I don't know how he unscrewed the cap." Avery took off her son's clothes and took him for a bath.Elliot looked at the mess his son had created and shook his head.He did not know if Hayden was so naughty when he was a child, but Robert was visibly much naughtier.The next day, Avery and Elliot visite

After Jed's death, Avery had been in contact with his family through phone and text messages.Both of Jed's parents were highly educated and understanding by nature. Though Jed's death had affected them greatly, they had not blamed Avery for it at all, and this made Avery feel more guilty.Elliot and Avery arrived at the Hutchinsons' house and tears instantly gathered in her eyes when she saw the gray hairs around Mrs. Hutchinson's temples."Auntie, I have been meaning to pay you a visit but my husband had been severely injured, so I had to delay my visit."Mrs. Hutchinson poured them two glasses of water with a serious expression. "I told you not to come. It's too much trouble for you! It's not Jed's death that pains us most, but the fact that Jennifer had died in a foreign country trying to avenge him..."Mrs. Hutchinson could not help but sob, and Avery immediately took some tissues to help wipe away her tears."Auntie, you have to take care of yourself. If Jed and Jennifer co
