"Why would people criticize him?" Layla took Avery's words seriously, and she looked sad. Avery did not know how to explain things to her daughter.She worried that if she revealed everything to Layla tonight will make it difficult for her to fall asleep, so she held her tongue."It's nothing. I was just speaking hypothetically. You have to remember that your father is a good man. Don't dislike him no matter how other people criticize him.""Okay." Layla was confused, but she nodded her head and said, "I'll listen to you, Mommy."Once Avery finished helping Layla with her bath, she tucked her into bed.It was already past ten by the time Avery returned to the master bedroom.Elliot pointed at the midnight snack that the butler had sent over and asked, "Do you want to have something to eat?"Avery shook her head and said, "I gain weight easily if I eat this late at night. I want to be the most beautiful bride tomorrow. Don't tempt me with food.""I'll ask the butler to take it

It was no wonder Henry did not contact Elliot for a while. His request required a large amount of courage!"Do you think your request is reasonable, Henry?" Elliot's eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder. "You make it sound like you were the one who gave me that one and a half million. Your mother didn't ask me for an IOU back when she gave me that money.""It looks like you have no plans on returning that money, then!" Henry's voice was trembling with rage."If you insist, then, of course, I would give the money back to you. I can give you one and a half million with interest. However, if you're thinking of getting a share of my company, then you might as well just run back to that rented apartment of yours and dream on!"Elliot clenched his fists tightly. His patience was wearing thin.Henry did not expect Elliot to act this arrogantly despite Henry having a huge advantage over him."Is he truly not worried about the truth being exposed?!" thought Henry. "Elliot Foste

Tammy froze in stunned silence."Henry was telling the truth?"Elliot is not a biological son of the Foster family? Elliot killed Eason Foster?"Oh my god! Oh my god!" thought Tammy. If Tammy had not been holding onto the beam next to her, her ankles would have given out, and she would have fallen to the ground.This news was shocking! Her head was spinning, and she felt like she was in the middle of a nightmare.Once Avery left the villa, the bodyguard immediately ran after her."Please calm down, Miss Tate! You'll gain too much attention running out like this!" said the bodyguard. "Mr. Foster went out, but he shouldn't have gone far. Give him a call. He'll probably be back soon."Avery's chest was rising and falling rapidly.She pulled out her phone and dialed Elliot's number.The call went through, but there was no answer."Go back and wait in the villa, Miss Tate. I'll go look for him! I'll get him to call you when I find him." The bodyguard led Avery toward the villa.

The violent mob was very quickly pushed back.Avery pushed through the crowd, rushed to Elliot's side, and pulled his rigid body into her arms."Elliot! Don't be afraid! They're just a bunch of ignorant thugs! You're not a criminal! You're not!"Even after the perpetrators were dragged off by the police, the surrounding crowd did not put their phones away.The video of Elliot being surrounded and beaten up was quickly spread online.News like this where someone high and mighty was dragged off their pedestal always caused heated discussion.[Oh my god! Is that really Elliot Foster? He looks so miserable! I can't believe he was beaten up by a crowd in public like that… If I were him, I wouldn't dare show my face in public again!][Did you guys see how he didn't dare fight back? It's proof he really is a murderer!][What a relief! The law might not be able to punish him, but everyone carries justice in their hearts. Death to b*st*rds like him!][Wasn't he supposed to get married

"If Avery isn't scared, then why should I be?" Chad retorted. "Do you think Avery's an idiot?""You guys might think there's nothing wrong with him, but other people don't feel the same. I'm worried their kids would get affected by this," Mike said worriedly. "It would be good if Elliot would explain his motive behind the murder back then.""Mr. Foster won't give an explanation," Chad said with certainty. "He hates explaining himself to others. However, I believe that he had a good reason for doing something that extreme. Maybe it was self-defense.""I know your boss doesn't like explaining himself. If he won't even give Avery an explanation, then what are the odds that he would give one to other people? Avery's the only one who can handle that temper of his! He's arrogant as hell. He finally got taught a lesson today!""Are you trying to kick a man while he's down? If Mr. Foster is in the wrong, then let the law deal with him. Everything that has happened today has all the marking
