"Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it," Elliot said.Met with a sharp rejection, Chelsea turned and left.The sound of a phone ringing pierced through the silent living room.When Elliot saw Avery's name flashing on his phone screen, his temples twitched suddenly.It was almost noon. He had agreed to meet Avery that morning.He received Chelsea's call while he was getting ready to leave and had completely forgotten about the meeting.Elliot answered the call and said, "I'm sorry. Something came up, and I couldn't make it. I'll get my lawyer to handle the divorce proceedings."Avery was taken aback, then said calmly, "Alright. It's the weekend, so we can't do it now. Ask your lawyer to contact me on Monday.""Alright," Elliot said.They were done discussing the matter, and it was logical that the call would come to an end, but Elliot prolonged it. "I will sell Tate Towers to you." He no longer had the desire to take revenge on Avery.All he wanted was for Shea's

Jenny glanced at the gift box, then said, "I'm getting old, Cole. I want a family and my own kids.""Like you, Jenny, I want a family of my own too. We can try dating, and if everything goes well, we can get married and have kids," Cole said as he stared at Jenny with eager eyes.Jenny lowered her gaze and said, "My father has one request. If we get married, our first child, regardless of gender, has to take Gibson as their last name."Cole's face instantly changed."If you can't accept that, then there's no point in going on with dinner," Jenny said as she picked up her bag. She looked like she was about to leave. Cole grabbed her arm and said, "I'm okay with that, Jenny. The child would be mine no matter whose last name they take. It's just… I think my parents might not be happy about it. How about we have two kids. The first one will take your last name, and the second one will take mine."Jenny felt relieved after hearing Cole's words."Would your parents agree to that?""

Hayden did not respond to Layla's words, but a firm conviction materialized in his mind.He had to become stronger and more powerful!He had to protect his sister, his mother, and his grandmother!…On Monday, Avery met Elliot's lawyer.Once the divorce paperwork was dealt with, the lawyer said to Avery, "Miss Tate, I've prepared the contract for the building you want to purchase."Avery was taken aback, then asked, "He entrusted that to you?"The lawyer nodded, then pulled out the contract from his briefcase and said, "Please take a look. What's important is the price."Avery took the contract and looked straight at the asking price.Forty million dollars!That was the amount Elliot had first bought the building for.He would lose money if he sold Tate Tower to Avery at this price!In the span of four years, one could get a decent interest from putting forty million in a deposit account at a bank."What does he mean by this?" Avery asked in confusion."I believe Mr. Fost

The nanny felt awful. She nodded and said, "I will look for her!"Thirty minutes later, Elliot had parked his car at Angela Special Needs Academy. After he parked the car, he and Shea walked to the pink building where Shea was staying at. She was staying alone. She had workers tend to the chores, teach her, and take care of all her medical needs. Elliot opened the door. The room was quiet.He furrowed his brows.The nanny was informed of his arrival and rushed over."Mr. Foster! Miss Shea is missing!" Her eyes were red from crying. "We searched the entire campus, but we couldn't find her! Plus, the security footage is broken and I have no idea where did she go… My Shea… My voice is hoarse from all the yelling. She wouldn't ignore me if she heard my voice."He instantly tensed and clenched his fists!"I told her last night that you hired an amazing doctor. I said she would recover after the surgery… She asked me what the surgery was about… I shouldn't have told her. My ans

She had thought of all the scenarios, but never once did she imagine that her rival in love would be atypical. Was it the reason why Elliot would not mention it to her?Avery walked to the sofa in despair and sat down. She buried her face in her hands. It was hard to process."Avery, what’s wrong?" Laura sat next to her daughter and asked, "Don’t you know her? Your conversation with her was so weird."Avery said, "Mom, I have a headache right now. Please leave me alone."Laura said, "Alright. I will tidy the guest room."Avery grabbed her arm and said, "Mom, don't. She knew Elliot back then, and their relationship was unusual… I'll drive her somewhere later."Laura looked horrified.Shea also looked horrified.She was frightened when she heard the word 'Elliot'.She began crying again. She shook her head while she wailed.Laura held her hand and comforted her. She asked, "Don't be scared, do you know Elliot?"Shea shook her head vigorously.If she had not shaken her head,
