"Elliot, I'm not asking for much," said Nathan. He could see that Elliot was slowly accepting the model of reality that he had submitted. "You make so much money a year. How can you spend it all?! Let me and your brother help you spend some. Don't worry. I know your face is important to you. We can keep the father-son relationship private. As long as you give me enough money every month, I promise not to bother you in the future."Elliot's dangerous eagle eyes stared at the greedy old geezer in front of him.They had not even done a paternity test yet. Before he got hold of the test results, he would never acknowledge this old geezer as his dad."How dare this old b*st*rd ask such things of me?!" Elliot thought."How much is enough money?" his voice was cold. He suppressed the disgust that welled within him.He wanted to see how great of an appetite this old geezer had.Nathan stretched out a finger on one hand and five fingers on the other. "Fifteen million dollars. You earn bil

"I'm not sure if I’m drunk." He rubbed his aching temple with his slender fingers.How he wished he was drunk! If he were drunk, he would not remember anything that happened tonight the next day. "It looks like you had one too many a glass," said Avery. "Go lie down. I'll get Mrs. Scarlet to make you a bowl of hangover soup. Drink it before going to sleep."He agreed to her request and ended the call. About half an hour later, Mrs. Scarlet came up with a bowl of sour plum soup.Elliot was lying in bed, and he was still wearing the same clothes. His eyes were shut. Only one bedside lamp was turned on in the room, and it was quite dim.Mrs. Scarlet was not sure if he was asleep, so she stood by the door of the room.Then she heard his deep voice, "Come in."He opened his eyes and sat up.Mrs. Scarlet served the sour plum soup. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of dark red blood on his palm."Sir, your hand is bleeding!" Mrs. Scarlet was shocked."I'm fine." He took a sip o

"Well, as long as you don't tell Miss Tate that you've been here, she wouldn't come asking me about it, would she?" the person in charge said gingerly.Elliot could not find an issue with what he said.Meanwhile, Avery and Robert were at Tammy's house. They were there to keep Tammy company, and because it was that time of the month, Tammy was in a rather foul mood. Avery's other reason for visiting Tammy was so she could find out who Elliot's drinking buddy was."Elliot was drunk?" No way! I've never seen him drunk before!" Jun seemed a bit excited upon hearing what Avery had to say. "I know most of Elliot's friends, but I didn't hear that he was hanging out with friends last night!"Tammy was playing with Robert and said, "Avery, it's either that Elliot has lied to you, or Jun is not as close to Elliot as he thinks he is.""Let's go with the second one then!" Jun immediately said. "I'd rather admit that I'm not as close to him as I thought I was than to see you two fight again!"Avery

Avery video called Jun at four in the afternoon, and when Jun received her phone call, he immediately realized that something was wrong."What's wrong?" Jun felt uncomfortable being the target of her cold glare, and he felt his back grow damp with sweat. "Did Tammy say something to you? Am I not doing well enough? It shouldn't be! I've been super gentle and patient lately. Elliot told me to give Tammy more time...""Elliot said that to you?" Avery was slightly surprised."Yeah! What exactly did Tammy tell you? How am I supposed to fix it if you won't tell me?" He asked."Why are you keeping the love letter you wrote for a classmate in a box? Not only did you not destroy it, but you even kept that girl's number in your contact list. When exactly are you two planning to start dating again?" Avery asked him all the questions that Tammy dared not ask. "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand, can you give me some hints?" Jun was confused."That box you have with all your

He proposed a solution. "Then move to a bigger mansion.""The children and I have gotten used to this place, so we don't want to move," Avery said with resignation. "Just keep your urge to shop in check! I know you are rich, but money can be used to elevate our personal lives, and it can also be used for good deeds. You can make donations to poor communities in the mountains or to non-profit organizations.""I am doing all that as well." He stepped back toward the trunk and moved more boxes out. "I bought you jewelry. I know you think it's too troublesome to wear them, but I like them on you."She opened the box and found multiple smaller boxes."Elliot, did you empty the shops?""I didn't," he said. "I didn't buy the ones that didn't look good."Avery felt helpless. She knew she should be happy to receive such gifts, but she was not in the slightest bit happy. Her jewelry cabinet did not have the space for this many new pieces. "What did you buy Layla?" She suppressed the urge to lec
