Back at Aryadelle, the weekend passed in a blink of an eye.On Monday, Elliot arrived at the office. Chad followed him and entered his office."Yes?" Elliot switched his computer open. He looked up at Chad."Mr. Foster, is your phone not on?" Chad inquired cautiously. It was only after Chad had asked this question that Elliot realized he did not have his phone with him. He spent the weekend sleeping in, but he still felt a little dizzy.It was possible to experience dizziness if one did not get enough sleep. Sleeping too much would have the same effect too. "Here's what happened, Mr. Foster." Chad gave Elliot a summary of the incident that took place over the weekend.When Elliot heard the news, a look of sheer disbelief appeared on his face."Get the bodyguard to bring me my phone," Elliot said to Chad. When Chad left, Elliot looked at his computer screen.The headline for that day popped up, [President of Sterling Group, Elliot Foster, Cheated of 1.5 Billion!]Although he h

Elliot subconsciously gripped his phone tighter.Their relationship had changed from that of a couple to that of a debtor and debtee. Although it was an ironic relationship, it was still a relationship. Elliot did not respond to her message. It did not matter that he did not agree with her; she would not listen to him anyway. After about fifteen minutes or so, his phone beeped again. Elliot tapped on the message and saw that it was a bank notification. One hundred and fifty-five million dollars had just been wired into his account. The note said repayment.Elliot looked at the soulless series of numbers. The light in his eyes dimmed gradually.This was perhaps all the money she could afford at that moment.…After Avery wired the money, she just stared at the phone. She felt slightly lost. "Has he not seen it?" she thought."Forget it," she thought. She had already sent him the message. He would see it sooner or later.Avery slid the phone into her bag and took the bag wit

Elliot picked up the cup of hot coffee on his desk and took a sip. The coffee was bitter, just like his mood.Avery had always been doing things her way. She had always been selfish. She had never considered how he felt. Even if they went their separate ways, she still found ways to torture him. It was lunchtime at Central University's elite class.A boy took his lunch and walked over to Hayden."Hayden, the woman that conned one and a half billion dollars out of Elliot Foster on the news is your mother, right?!" The boy who approached Hayden was called Daniel, and because he was so fat, everyone called him Fat Dan. "My mother is not a con-woman!" Hayden said angrily."I know. If your mother was a con-woman, Elliot Foster would have made things difficult for your mother." Then, Fat Dan asked curiously, "Your mother should be fine right now, right? She's at home, right?""My mother is abroad."Fat Dan adjusted his glasses and looked at Hayden intensely. "Oh… Why is she not ret

"Yes," Avery said."Indeed, your baby is slightly under-developed," the doctor said after a pause. "Half a month ago, you mentioned that your child was developing two weeks slower than it should've been if it were developing normally, yes?" "Yes. What now?" Avery's heart sank as she awaited the doctor's judgment. If the baby had stopped developing, there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to keep it, and she was prepared for the worst."Can you show me the ultrasound report from the last checkup?" The doctor set the ultrasound sensor down and passed her a piece of tissue paper.She accepted the tissue and took out the ultrasound report from her purse. She passed it to the doctor as she wiped her belly. After inspecting the report, the doctor said, "Though the baby isn't developing as it should, it has grown since the last scan, and it will continue to grow. If you want to keep the baby, you need to take good care of yourself and make sure to get enough nutrition. We'll

Zoe almost spat out the water she had just drunk.'What does she mean by returning every last penny? Once Elliot gave me the money, it was mine! Why should I return it?' she thought."Avery, I know that you desperately need to pay Elliot back and that you need money for that," Zoe muttered nervously, "but there is no reason that I should give up my hard-earned money for you! I've put in so much effort and time into treating Shea—" "But you didn't perform those surgeries on Shea," Avery interrupted calmly, "I am only asking you to give back the three hundred million and not the interest. Consider the interest as compensation for your hard work!"The corner of Zoe's lips twitched. She did not know what to say.'How ridiculous! Avery is being ridiculous!' she thought."Zoe, has no one ever told you that there's no such thing as a free lunch?" Avery said sarcastically. "You sure are brave. You have been daring—telling Elliot lies and accepting his money. Aren't you afraid your lies
