It was a call from Natalie.Natalie had been traveling back and forth between Aryadelle and Bridgedale recently. She had been working very hard to bring down Avery's Alpha Technologies.If Elliot had a huge grudge against Avery, he would surely reward her.Elliot looked at the name on his phone coldly. He hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call."Mr. Foster, the new company in Bridgedale has been successfully set up. We predict that we will officially be able to start next week. Will you attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony?" Natalie asked.Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. He did not want to go to Bridgedale anymore for the time being.More accurately, he did not want to go to Bridgedale unless it was absolutely necessary."Mr. Foster, we have invited many politicians and business partners to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. If you could come—"Elliot interrupted her. "Call Ben and ask if he is free." He hung up.Natalie did not expect that Elliot would not ca

Elliot knew that Layla had been secretly calling Avery. Layla did not contact Avery in front of him, so he could not directly interfere with it too. As long as Layla was by his side, he did not care about the other things.However, at that moment, when he heard Robert loudly calling Mommy, his heart hammered wildly in his chest.He stood up from his chair unable to control himself!…When Avery saw Robert on the call, she could no longer talk to Layla about her studies. She also noticed how Robert was a little distant, and she felt bad. She wanted to push herself through the screen to give them a hug, but that was delusional thinking.She had only been apart from Robert for half a year and already Robert was a little distant. If she were to be apart from him for a longer period, would Robert treat her like Layla treated Elliot?After talking for about twenty minutes or so, Robert became irritable. He started annoying Layla, so Avery hung up.Coming out of her bedroom, she went t

"They have a new business, and we are celebrating with cake?" Avery did not understand Mike's actions."If not, should we cry?" Mike opened the cake, cut a piece, and passed it to her. "Eat more and think less. I'm starting to suspect that when I'm not home, you don't eat a proper lunch. Why do you look like you have lost some weight?""On the contrary. I have been making a good lunch every afternoon." Avery held the cake, picked up her fork, and started eating it. "Lilith said that she's coming over for dinner tonight. Don’t tell me it's to console me too?""If I knew you were this intuitive, I would not have told you about it." Mike took the remote control and switched off the tv."I'm not thinking about all of this. Whether you tell me or not, I know that they are building a new company." Avery pushed the cream on the cake away. "Why did you buy a cake with cream? I prefer tiramisu.""You have asked me this before, but I'll refresh your memory." Mike shrugged. "Layla and I like

Regret?At that moment, Elliot was a little baffled. Avery sold off the company without any warning. From the public's point of view, she did that because he left her no choice."Elliot, you forced her hand. Are you satisfied now?" Ben continued when he did not get an answer. "She has already fled to Bridgedale. You two had been living parallel lives, yet you insist on opening a company at Bridgedale, telling everyone that you want to bring down Alpha Technologies. Although Avery might not starve in the future, have you ever thought that what you did was very low? Hayden is not even an adult yet! You have cut off Avery's future. Are you planning to make your son suffer as well?"Elliot quietly listened to Ben's reprimands without responding. He never thought that Avery would sell off the company, but Ben was right. Ever since he had made Natalie the vice president of Tate Industries, he had consigned his relationship to the grave. "Are you doing this to Avery to ensure that Avery

Tammy was feeling uncomfortable with Elliot's gaze. Mainly because she had scolded him via voice message previously, and then she had sent him a video, criticizing him. Although she knew that Elliot would not be so petty, his gaze at that moment made her shudder."Let's go have something to eat!" Elliot had not had his breakfast. His stomach hurt at that moment.Mrs. Cooper immediately walked over to Jun. "Let me handle Tiffany! You all go eat!"Jun passed his daughter to Mrs. Cooper. "Once she wakes up, call me.""Okay." Mrs. Cooper carried Tiffany to the living area.Elliot said that he had something serious to talk to them about, so once the servant served them the dishes, Mrs. Cooper gave them a look. The servants knowingly retreated.In the dining hall, Jun and Tammy were antsy. Elliot too did not appear to have much of an appetite."Elliot, did you sleep late last night?" Jun was looking for something to talk about."It's almost noon. I usually only wake up so late duri
