Tammy knew. "Avery, why didn't you tell Elliot? If he finds out that these are his kids…" "He doesn't want kids, Tammy. If you tell this to anyone or even Elliot, we won't be friends anymore." Avery said with a cold voice and her face was even colder as if she was a whole different person. "If this is serious, of course I won't tell. This is your privacy and I will keep your secret." Tammy said anxiously, "I really don't understand Elliot. What do you think, does he have a mental problem?" "Not unlikely." Avery sat by the bed and articulated each word, "I only want to take care of the kids until they grow up." "Avery, don't worry. I promise you I won't tell anyone about this." …At the old Foster mansion, it was seven thirty in the evening when Elliot came home. "Elliot, is Zoe okay? Why was she so careless? A doctor's hands are the most precious body part of them all!" Rosalie heard about Zoe's burn and she was worried. "It's no big deal." Elliot did not want his moth

Meanwhile, Hayden walked over to them. Tammy was shocked, why was Hayden not in school?Mike was equally shocked, "Big H, why're you not in school? Let's go out and play!" Tammy was speechless. Mike called Hayden "Big H"? Hayden pulled on Mike's arm and pulled him away. Tammy was speechless. It appeared that the two of them were quite close. No wonder Mike won Avery's heart. He got along with her kids. … After Elliot arrived at the Sterling Group, Chad came in to report to him. After the report, Chad adjusted his glasses over the bridge of his nose, "Mr. Foster, Miss Tate's current address is at the Starry River Villa. Are you looking for her? You had a divorce, I'm afraid she might not let you in." Chad did not want Elliot to get into trouble. Elliot said, "Chad, keep looking for a doctor to treat Shea for me. No matter how much they want, we can negotiate as long as Shea can be treated." Chad was surprised, "Miss Sanford is no longer treating Shea?" Elli

After the Tate Industries dinner had ended, there was a series of entertainment. Chad's friend promised to let him join them. This way, Chad could get close to Mike. After Avery and her family sat inside the car, Chad said to Elliot, "Mr. Foster, get some rest! Zoe's hands are hurt, you haven't visited her today, right? Why don't you check on her so that she's not disappointed." Elliot spent the whole day working today. Chad could tell that Elliot was not feeling well and so he used work to numb himself. However, Elliot had to face her eventually. Now Shea needed Zoe's treatment. As Zoe's boyfriend, Elliot must not be too harsh. Around half an hour after Elliot had left, Chad's friend came out from the restaurant. There was a group of men coming out along with him, including Mike. "Our Technical Director will wing us to continue drinking at the bar…Chad, I remember that you can drink a lot. Come and join us." Chad's friend patted Chad on the shoulder and said in a lo

Avery glanced at the children, then turned to Laura and said, "Take the kids to school. I'm sure he has a reason for being here."As Laura led the children past Elliot, he noticed Layla's face.It was true that Layla looked similar to Avery.Layla's glistening wide eyes had a hint of hostility in them, and she glared at him when they walked past.He wondered what thoughts could have been instilled in her for her to despise him to this extent. Avery approached Elliot soon after."Why are you here this early in the morning?"Elliot looked at Avery's cool, clean face, then asked with a complicated expression on his face, "Is she your biological daughter, Avery? She looks a lot like you.""Did you come by just to look at my daughter?""Who's her father?" Elliot asked in a raised voice. "Since she's already in preschool, she's definitely more than three years old."It seemed like Avery could not get away with saying that Layla was adopted.Her daughter resembled her too much. La

Mike burst through the doors and strode into Avery's office."Avery! Chad was the one who had initiated it!" Mike said. His pale blue eyes filled with apprehension. "We were just drinking and chatting at first when his leg slid against mine… If he didn't mean anything by it, then why did he bump my leg with his? Wasn't that a signal for sex?"Avery's face turned scarlet."Chad was trying to find out if you were gay or straight," Ben said awkwardly.Mike was determined to argue his case."I didn't know what his true intentions were! Besides, he had the time of his life that night!"The entire room dipped into pin-drop silence. Elliot picked up his glass of water and took a sip.Ben followed suit.Avery changed the subject, "Did you ever hack into Angela Special Needs Academy? Also, were you behind the system breach at Sterling Group before this?"Mike raised both his hands and swore, "It wasn't me! I'd admit it if it were me. It's true that my hacking skills are impressive, b
