"Don't look at your phone for a few days, Avery." Tammy could not help but remind her. "Elliot bought over the news in Bridgedale. It's disgusting."Avery did not respond.Her fever had subsided, but she was starving after not eating all day. Besides, her throat was dry and she could barely make a sound."Have something to eat first, Avery. I'm going to the airport to pick up Mike. He's about to arrive soon, so I'll head there now," Tammy said, then left the house.Mrs. Cooper brought out a bowl of soup and placed it on the table in front of Avery.After finishing the soup, Avery recovered some of her energy."Layla, Hayden… Why are you staring at me like that?" Avery forced a smile. "I just caught a cold. I'll be fine soon.""Were you crying in secret, Mommy?" Layla pouted when she saw her mother's reddened eyes. "Don't be sad. You still have me, Hayden, and Robert. We would never leave you.""I know that. Which is why my mood is better now that I've recovered." Avery reached

Back in Aryadelle, once news broke on Elliot Foster and Chelsea Tierney's impending nuptials, details regarding their wedding also began to spread far and wide.Everything from the wedding venue and the number of guests, to the dinner menu, wedding favors, and the bride's jewelry were all made public online.This grand, upcoming wedding was the pride and joy of the Tierney family.Wanda, who had once mocked Charlie at the hospital, could not help but give him a call when she read about the shocking news."You sure are treacherous, Charlie Tierney!" She was slightly angry. "You were the one who took the box's contents, weren't you? That should've been mine!"If Charlie had not taken the box's contents away, the person threatening Elliot right now would be her!The seven hundred and seventy-five million dollars should also be in her pockets!"Would you like to attend my sister and Elliot Foster's wedding, Wanda? Let's talk face-to-face about the question you just asked!" Charlie l

It was eight at night in Aryadelle when a social media post exploded online.It was a status update on Charlie Tierney's private account.The post read: [Elliot Foster has a psychological disorder.]It was a short post, but it was enough to leave everyone in horror.The status was posted on a private account, but online users very quickly used the information from the post to find out that the account belonged to Charlie Tierney.Elliot Foster was about to get married to Charlie Tierney's sister, Chelsea Tierney. Since he revealed such appalling news online during such a crucial moment, was the wedding still happening?After the post went viral, Charlie's friends called him and told him about the news.Charlie's clenched his teeth and hissed, "I haven't been on social media in forever! I didn't post anything online!"Then, he logged into the account that he had left alone for years and saw the shocking status update.Charlie's blood boiled as he stared at the post and his mind

Avery pondered for a few seconds, then responded coldly, "I don't care."Tammy could feel Avery's resolution toward Elliot from her tone.She was right. Nothing that happened to Elliot right now was worth Avery's sympathy.All the gossip about Elliot completely disappeared from the internet overnight.People might not be able to discuss the matter online, but everyone was still talking about it in private."I think there's something abnormal about Mr. Foster too," said one of the employees at Sterling Group. "I think he might not even be from this world. He could be an alien from another planet. Nothing else would explain how he's so outstanding at such a young age."Everyone burst into laughter."I think that even if Mr. Foster had a psychological disorder, it's not something that would make him go on a killing frenzy. I've been working here for a long time and I've never heard any negative press about him. Our company has the highest yearly salary increment in the industry. Yo

Mike held Avery in his arms and comforted her in a low voice. "Men and women have different ways of thinking. He must have been afraid that this would affect you and the children. He was wrong to assume your ability to handle these things.""I don't want to know what he was thinking because he has never told me how he truly felt," Avery sobbed. "I would be a joke if I always had to depend on others, or the news, to find out what he was going through! I can't sympathize with him! Even if he died from a sickness right now, I still won't feel bad for him!""Don't cry, Avery." Mike had a mountain of things he wanted to say to console her, but they never escaped his lips.Love was not something that could be explained with a few sentences.Elliot was threatened into having to marry a disfigured Chelsea and become a laughing stock. He had spent the first half of his life in glory and never had to experience this type of humiliation.However, what did Avery ever do wrong?Avery got tire
