One week later, Ben departed from the Aryadelle airport and arrived in Ylore without informing anyone. He did not report to Elliot his travel this time, but when he applied for leave, Elliot did not ask any questions.Both knew what was happening from their conversation during Shea's wedding.Ben strode out of the airport and a person instantly approached him.A middle-aged man asked politely, "Are you, Mr. Schaffer?"Ben nodded."Miss Gould has asked me to pick you up," the man said. "Please follow me."Seeing how respectful the man appeared to be, Ben followed him.He had wanted to get in touch with Ruby after arriving, but she had kept asking when he would be in Ylore, so he had provided her with his flight information before boarding the flight.Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a mansion.Ben got out of the car and the nanny immediately came out to greet him, before explaining, "Miss Gould is still recovering from giving birth so she can't go out. Please und

Ben's mind snapped back from the shock. "Ruby, Layla looks like Avery, not Elliot.""I saw Layla's photo before, and I think she looks like Elliot as well," Ruby argued. "How else would you explain why my daughter looks like Layla?"Ben was rendered speechless. He did not know what to say or how he could begin to explain the situation."The doctor says that she might grow up to look more and more like me," Ruby continued. "I don't really want that, though. I want her to look more like Elliot.""Ruby, about the name I gave this baby... Why don't you change it up a bit?" Ben glanced at Ruby. "I came here to see the baby and also to tell you what Elliot thinks."Ruby waited quietly for what he was about to say."Elliot will not acknowledge this baby as his child, nor does he want her to have the Foster name, so you should name her Gould instead!" Ben stared directly at her. "Ivy Gould sounds great, too."Ruby's eyes reddened. "Do I have to change it?""I advise that you do. Trust

Chapter 1635

The series of events that evolved around Wonder Technologies had been mockingly referred to as the 'Black Swan Incident'. No one had ever expected an enterprise as established as Wonder Technologies to run out of business out of the blue. Not only had the operation ceased, but Wonder Technologies was even found guilty of severe criminal acts that brought Elliot into the picture as well.During Tate Industries' launch of new products, the reporters all raised their hands with questions for Avery."President Tate, we heard that Tate Industries was behind Wonder Technologies' demise, is there anything you would like to say about that?"Avery faced the camera calmly. "You should direct this question to whoever spreads the rumors because I and my team know nothing of it.""President Tate, rumor has it that the new line you are launching this time was the one that Wonder Technologies had intended to launch... that you had gotten their technical team to work for you before they could mana

Mike was moved by her words. "I get it. As long as you are truly happy, I can learn to be less petty.""I am happy. Elliot has been great with me and the kids." Avery's lips curled into a smile as she recalled all the things that had happened between her and Elliot. "But I am keeping my visit to Susan a secret for now. I don't want to upset him.""Yeah. It isn't that big a deal."After lunch, Avery drove to the prison, and Susan was slightly surprised to see her."Did Elliot send you?" With cuffs on her wrist, Susan's eyes glittered with hope.Avery shook her head. "He's a bit busy lately, Auntie. Once he's free, I'll take him here to see you.""I know that he's busy. He doesn't have to come see me. I know that he doesn't want to. Even my own child considers me a humiliation and is reluctant to pay me a visit," Susan muttered bitterly. "It's my own fault. I deserve it."Avery was not sure what to say. "Auntie, there's still a chance for you to be commuted. If you manage to short

"Wesley, what happened? How did Shea get pregnant?" Avery stood before Elliot and asked."Avery, it's me... I did it on purpose." Shea's eyes were red from all the crying and she stuttered, "I wanted a child... When I see your children, it just fills me with envy... so I..."Shea ran out of breath and choked on her voice.Wesley smoothed his hand down her back and continued the explanation, "I don't know where she learned this from but she poked a hole in the condom."Avery fell into silence at how bold Shea was. Shea knew that her body was unfit to bear children. Both Avery had given her a stern talk about this. She had agreed, but now, she had gone and done something like this."Where did you learn something like that?" Elliot clenched his fists and roared furiously, "Did you learn it from someone?!""No... No one taught me that... I saw it on my phone..." Shea held onto Wesley's arm as she looked timidly at Elliot. "I'm sorry, Big Brother... I didn't listen to you... but I rea

"Without regret... Good for you! You will die without regret, but what about me?!" The expression on Elliot's face only grew fiercer.Avery knew that she should be helping Shea, but she could not say a thing. Shea was only taking her own feelings into consideration and had completely neglected Elliot's feelings. He had worked so hard to protect her up till now and watching her kill herself would feel just as painful as getting stabbed in the heart."Big Brother, I think I can give birth. Look at me! I'm fine. I'm just like anyone else." Shea wanted to gamble. What she did not have the courage to confess was that she was not gambling because of how much she wanted a child, but rather because, Wesley's mother had asked for her to give birth to Wesley's child, and Shea had agreed to it. She had to fulfill her promise to others or her conscience would not allow her to rest."How are you just like anyone else? You are far from that!" Elliot never had the heart to be too harsh with her, b

"My mom told you to get pregnant! It was my mom who told you to poke a hole in the condom! My mom made you do this..." Wesley's expression darkened, and he turned to walk toward the door.He needed to find his mother. If it was indeed his mother who had pressured Shea into getting pregnant, he would risk alienating his family if it meant stopping Shea from making a mistake. "Wesley!" Shea hurried toward him and stood in his path. "Don't go to your mom... She has nothing to do with this. I want to have your baby... I want to repay—""I don't need repayment!" Wesley finally lost his temper. "If you married me to repay me, we are going to get a divorce right now!""No... I don't want a divorce..." Shea threw herself at him and wailed. "Wesley, you have your wishes and dreams, and so do I! My dream is to give you a baby, and if I can't fulfill it, I will regret it for the rest of my life..."Avery and Elliot exited the Brooks' mansion and got into the car.Avery stared at Elliot's f

"Ivy, look! It's Daddy!" Ruby carried Ivy out of the crib and turned the camera so that it faced her and Ivy. "Ivy, remember what your Daddy looks like! Daddy is a really brilliant man..."Elliot did not hear a word she said and focused on the child in her arms.Ivy was too young to know anything at all, but it was precisely her innocent face that broke the defenses he had put around his heart.He had never seen Layla as a baby, but he could distinctly see the resemblance Ivy had with Layla."Elliot, our daughter is a wonderful child. She came down with pneumonia when she was born because she was weak. For about a week, the doctors wouldn't even let me visit her, but they told me that she was wonderful and that she rarely cries, so she had a speedy recovery."Ruby sobbed. "She's really great... Elliot, I know that you can't come to see her, but can you video call me from time to time so that Ivy gets to see you?""No," Elliot rejected her request without a moment of hesitation.

Elliot had not hung up, which confirmed the fact that he cared deeply for Ivy. No one could ever sever the bond between families."Elliot, I didn't do that on purpose. I won't lose control like that again. I will take good care of Ivy and raise her well," Ruby promised."It's late. Get her to sleep!" Elliot said and hung up.He held onto his phone tightly as he was overwhelmed by his emotions.He had seen what Ivy looked like in her photos, but it was not as shocking as seeing her in the video. Her every move caught his attention, and it tugged at his heart. Had his senses not stopped him earlier, he would have traveled to Ylore to hold Ivy the moment she had burst out crying.Someone knocked on the door and he sobered.Chad pushed the door open and placed a cup of coffee on his desk. "Are you okay, Mr. Foster?"There had been a meeting earlier, and Elliot had left after answering the call. Had it not been something urgent, Elliot would not have left without saying a word."She

Elliot was impressed by his imagination. "What's in that brain of yours? Does Ben seem that desperate to you?"Chad scratched his head. "I've never met Ruby before, but my instinct tells me that she's a formidable enemy. She managed to find a way to create a child in secret after getting married to you. After that, she killed her own father. That's not what ordinary people do, so she's definitely someone who will do anything to get what she wants.'"Are you concerned that she will bribe Ben into going against me?""Not to go against you but to seduce you," Chad said. "She has never been discreet about wanting you for herself."Elliot took a sip of coffee. "Ben won't betray me.""True. I'm worrying over nothing. I just keep getting worried, probably because Ruby has your child right now. If only we can get custody of that child. I know it's difficult for you, though. You definitely don't want that kid."Before today, Elliot had thought and believed whole-heartedly that he would no
