Elliot was at the Sterling Group when he took the call. "Mr. Foster, Shea has taken Hayden to the National Youth Programming Championships today. She has managed to convince him to participate in the finals," said the bodyguard on the other end of the line.Elliot's brows furrowed, and he was dumbfounded as he said, "What are you talking about?"The bodyguard repeated himself, then explained, "Miss Shea asked me not to tell you about it.""Why are you telling me now, then?"Elliot massaged the space between his brows as a sense of foreboding rose inside him."When Hayden Tate won the competition, Miss Shea ran up on stage. Someone recognized her and things turned chaotic. Miss Shea's isn't hurt, but she is a little shaken up."Elliot listened to the bizarre story and thought that the bodyguard was having a go at him."Why would Shea take Hayden to the Youth Programming Championships?" he wondered.Hayden was a loner who disliked meeting strangers. Logically, he would unwillin

Avery arrived home about half an hour later.She rushed into the house and charged toward Elliot without even changing into her house slippers."Where's Hayden? Why are you here alone?"Elliot was about to speak, but Avery interrupted him when she noticed his disheveled clothes."What happened to your clothes?"Elliot's shirt was completely wrinkled. She followed the wrinkled lines to his back and saw a piece of his shirt that had been ripped off.She saw the bloody bite mark under the ripped fabric.The bleeding had stopped, but she could imagine how painful it must have been.Avery faced them, then asked, "Did Hayden bite you?""I brought it onto myself," Elliot said nonchalantly. "He's in his room.""I see. I'll go take a look. Wait here for me," Avery said, then walked up the stairs.Mike sauntered behind Elliot, took a good look at his wound, then sighed and said, "Big H really did you in! You look like you were bitten by a dog!"Elliot turned around and stared grimly

The next day, someone rang the doorbell of Starry River Villa at seven in the morning.Avery walked out of her bedroom in her pajamas and made her way to the front door.When she saw Tammy through the front door's camera, she opened the door.After Tammy married Jun, she had gone abroad for her honeymoon.She had told Avery before that she would take a month-long holiday abroad."Why is she back only after two weeks?" thought Avery. "How are you feeling, Avery?" Tammy asked as she entered the house with bags of souvenirs."I'm fine. I already started going back to work," Avery said. "Why are you back so soon?"Tammy pulled a long face and said, "I didn't have fun at all! We were supposed to spend our honeymoon relaxing, but Jun gets over twenty calls from work every day. Honestly, I feel like getting a divorce."Avery poured her a drink, then said, "Don't be reckless. He just took over his family's business. Give him some time.""Hmph, it's not like I'm not giving him time.

Layla let out a horrified scream!Tammy picked her up and rushed into the house."Don't be scared, Layla! I'm calling the ambulance right away!"She placed Layla on the couch, then pulled out her phone from her bag and called 911.Layla was wailing uncontrollably."Is my daddy dead?" she sobbed. "He still doesn't know that I'm his daughter!"Tammy held the hysterical Layla in one arm and held her phone with her other hand.Once the call went through, she gave the operator the address and hung up."Wait here in the house, Layla. I'll go take a look," Tammy said and quickly ran out the door.…Avery received a call from the associate dean at Central University that morning and brought Hayden to the campus.Yesterday, Hayden won the National Youth Programming Championships.He was not the youngest participant in the competition, but he was the youngest one to enter the finals.What was even more unexpected was that he was the champion."Hayden might have skipped the conventi

Avery saw Mrs. Cooper let out a sigh of relief.She was happy that Zoe had come to check on Shea."Is Master Elliot awake? Did he say when he was coming home?" Mrs. Cooper asked the bodyguard as she walked toward him.Before the bodyguard could answer, Zoe walked in with a first aid kit in her hand."Did Master Elliot call for you to come by, Miss Sanford?"Zoe nodded and said, "He'll be back soon. How's Shea doing right now?"She walked to the bottom of the stairs, then froze in her tracks.Avery stood on the second floor. Their eyes met.Zoe quickly took control of the situation.She shot a look at Mrs. Cooper, then asked coldly, "Who called Avery Tate?""Avery just happened to come by to meet Shea about something," answered Mrs. Cooper awkwardly."I see… I thought someone invited her over!" sneered Zoe.She walked up the stairs, then stood in front of Avery and said, "Didn't you break up with Elliot ages ago, Avery? I heard you were the one who dumped him. You're always
