Elliot and Zoe were getting engaged in a week.As Elliot's ex-wife, Avery certainly did not have to get involved in any of his affairs.Mrs. Scarlet took Shea home at 3 p.m. after her checkup.Avery drove the car to the office.In the week that she was abroad, Tate Industries had issued refunds to every customer who had returned their products.Thanks to the quality scandal, all the orders that were made around the new year were canceled.Not only was the company suffering losses from the refunds, but they also had to face the danger of not having any new orders. This was a fatal blow to any business.A company with no stable funding might not last for long and would soon have to declare bankruptcy.Everyone at Tate Industries was living in constant fear of losing their jobs.When Avery arrived at the office, a few of the department heads immediately approached her."What do we do now, Miss Tate?""We have no new orders and the workshop downstairs is closed. Emotions are r

Elliot hung up the phone with an ominous look on his face and stormed out of his office.Not just anybody could get their hands on sleeping pills.Where did these ones come from?The moment the black Rolls-Royce pulled up into Elliot's front yard, Mrs. Cooper took Shea back to her room.When Elliot walked into the living room, Mrs. Scarlet handed him the test results."You took Shea to the hospital for a checkup?" Elliot asked as he glanced at Mrs. Scarlet.Mrs. Scarlet averted his gaze and did not dare meet his eyes.Avery had instructed her not to tell Elliot that it had been her who had taken Shea to the hospital if Elliot were ever to ask. "It was Miss Tate," Mrs. Scarlet said as she gave in under the pressure of Elliot's glare. "Shea insisted on going to see Miss Tate's children today—""Avery's back?" Elliot said, interrupting her."She got back this morning," said Mrs. Scarlet. "She didn't want anything to do with this, but I begged her to check on Shea because Shea's

Shea was tidying her desk with Mrs. Cooper's help.Elliot's Adam's apple bobbed in his throat as guilt overcame him.These past few days, he had told Shea to get more rest every time she complained of dizziness.He did not expect sleeping pills to be the cause of her discomfort.If Avery had not taken her to the hospital for the checkup, who knows how long she would have continued taking the pills.Elliot felt grateful toward Avery, but he did not know how to express his thanks.The first thing that Mrs. Cooper did the next day was to go to Avery's house. Avery was surprised and quickly invited Mrs. Cooper into her home."I'm sorry for showing up without notice, Avery," Mrs. Cooper said as she handed two food containers to her. "I made some of your favorite pickled vegetables, so I wanted to bring them to you.""Thank you! Why did you come by this early?" Avery said as she poured a glass of water for her guest."To be honest, Master Elliot was the one who asked me to come by

Five days later, Elliot showed up at the Sterling Group office at ten in the morning as usual."Your engagement is tomorrow, Sir. Don't you want to take the day off?" asked Chad as he greeted Elliot."I don't," Elliot said as he walked through his office doors.Chad followed him closely."Sir, I heard from Mike that they've successfully talked Bohmer Holdings into starting a new company here in Aryadelle to supply high-end lenses to them.""If I'm not mistaken, doesn't Bohmer Holdings work with Alpha Technologies?""That's right. It shows what a good relationship Miss Tate has with the owner of Bohmer Holdings. If not for her, they would not have set up a new company in Aryadelle," theorized Chad. "I looked into the head of Bohmer Holdings and found something interesting."What is it?" Elliot asked as his curiosity got the better of him."The current head of Bohmer Holdings is the son of Professor James Hough's cousin," said Chad, reporting the findings of his recent investigat

"Layla's dizzy, Mommy. She'll be fine after she gets some rest," Hayden said. "You don't need to worry.""I see… That's good. Take care of your sister.""I will."After she hung up, Avery did not return to the office.She continued to drive toward the house.She had come to the conclusion that the children were not at home. If she had told Hayden that she was on her way home, the children would have immediately made their way home. She would quietly return home and give another call to Hayden if they were indeed not there!Avery thought that the children were using sickness as an excuse to do something in secret.Layla was more innocent and did not have conniving thoughts. Her flaw was that she was a little too obedient when it came to Hayden. Considering Hayden's history of "bad behavior", Avery could not help but have an ominous feeling inside her heart.She pulled up in front of Starry River Villa, then rushed toward the front door.She keyed in the security code on t

"You're a kid, too!" Layla exclaimed as her curiosity escalated."My eyes were dirty after I saw it. Do you want to dirty your eyes, too?"Layla shook her head.She was curious, but she decided not to see whatever it was after hearing Hayden's words."Mommy wants to hire a bodyguard for us," Layla said, changing the subject. "We can't go around freely once we have a bodyguard.""When that happens, you'll be in charge of distracting the bodyguard while I move alone."Layla hesitated, then said, "If Dirtbag Dag really marries that Sanford lady, then we shouldn't go looking for him again! We should just act as if we don't have a dad!"Hayden glanced at his innocent sister, then said assuredly, "He won't marry her.""Why not?""She's not a good woman.""Daddy isn't a good man either! Wouldn't they be perfect together?"Hayden did not have a response to Layla's words.He suddenly felt like his sister was the smartest person in the world.He should allow Elliot Foster to play th

No matter how vicious the customers had been, none of them could resist the temptation of getting a brand new drone meant for professionals for free.The entrance to Tate Industries was soon crowded with returning customers.Avery did not leave the office until 9 p.m. that night.She got in her car and rushed home.The children should be asleep by now.Once everything was settled, she wanted to stay home and spend more time with them.Avery's phone suddenly rang.She glanced at the screen, then put on her bluetooth earphones and answered the call."Avery! Have you seen what they're saying on social media? I'm so mad!" Tammy said angrily on the other end of the line. "You were kind enough to practically give out free drones to your previous customers, but a bunch of trolls are still insulting you online!"Avery had already expected this would happen.Shaun had told her that as long as she did not share their core technology he would make sure that she would not be able to run

Just moments ago, Eric Santos, who Elliot had been searching for far and wide, finally appeared on social media!As a once-formidable king of pop, his accident on stage three years ago was the biggest tragedy of his life!Since then, he disappeared from the limelight.Everyone had assumed that he was dead.Even so, his diehard fans spent every day leaving comments and liking his social media posts in hopes of a miracle.In the end, a miracle finally happened!Eric Santos uploaded a new post on his social media page at 6.55 a.m. that morning.[Dear friends. It's been three years. How have you all been? I've been well, but I've felt a little lonely. I bought a Storm Series drone last year. Every day I flew it to faraway places, and with it, I got some exciting footage with each trip made. It made me feel like I was immersed in a city glowing with fireworks. I'm very grateful for its company. To me, my drone was not a cold machine, but an old friend. Now, my dear friend is going th

"Mike! Why aren't you and Miss Tate answering your phones?" said the vice president anxiously as he gave Mike a once over. "Something huge happened! Hurry up and wake Miss Tate up!"With a drowsy face, Mike scratched his head and walked into the house."It's not like the company shut down. What happened?"The vice president followed Mike and said, "Did you two engage a celebrity to endorse us?! Some pop idol called Eric Santos spoke for our products! He's a major celebrity!"The sleepy look vanished from Mike's face and bewilderment replaced it."Why don't I understand a thing you're saying?""My god! There's a huge celebrity called Eric Santos who showed his support for the Storm Series on social media. Since his post went up, our customer service lines have been blowing up. What's even crazier is that new orders are coming in at an alarming rate… I've never seen something like this happen before!" said the vice president with flushed cheeks.He could not reach Avery or Mike on

The doors to the black Rolls-Royce were locked.Avery was sitting in the car, and she was filled with regret. She must not have been fully awake when she had entered the car that morning.By the time she realized what she did, the doors had already been locked.What was the meaning of this? Was this an abduction?"What do you want, Elliot?" Avery asked as she glared at Elliot with furrowed brows.Was it not the day of his engagement?Where did he find time to come and see her?"Do you know Eric Santos, Avery?" Elliot asked as he looked up at Avery with a sharp gaze. "Don't lie to me!"After Avery answered his call that morning, her phone had run out of battery and shut down.She had no way of knowing what was happening online.Avery was suddenly alert at the sudden mention of Eric."I don't. Why?"She stared at Elliot's familiar yet distant face and forced herself to stay composed."Why would he help you if you didn't know him?" Elliot snapped as he spoke faster, "I saw
