Natalie did not wish to remain delusional. Since Elliot had forbidden her from ever visiting his home again, there was no hope of becoming his lover unless Avery disappeared or died. However, committing a crime or acting against the law was beneath Natalie. She refused to destroy her future for anyone.She despised women like Chelsea and Zoe, as it was far too foolish to sacrifice themselves for a man.Natalie believed that she was smarter and more capable than them. Even if she could not find a man as brilliant as Elliot in the future, she would do well on her own."Ms. Jennings, you might as well switch your target!" Her assistant noticed the frown on her face and consoled her. "Instead of going for older guys like Elliot, I think that a younger man like the boss of Dream Maker is a better match for you.""Don't you think I know that?" Natalie shot an icy glare and said, "Do you know who the boss of Dream Maker is? Do you know where he lives? Do you know where how to meet him? I

"Are you trying to trick me into telling you my intentions?" Elliot had a few glasses of wine, but he was not drunk."Why are you so on guard? I'm not going to laugh at you even if I know what you are really thinking. I might just help you out for the sake of your four children?" Tammy retorted. "I did enjoy scolding you before, but it's just because you've been absolutely incompetent!""I don't need your help," he said proudly. "Avery and I will settle whatever is between us.""Tsk! Whatever, then!" Tammy glared at him and turned to leave.Under the influence of the alcohol, Elliot hesitantly called out to her, "What did you and Avery talk about?""I thought you didn't need my help?" Tammy smirked smugly. "Here I thought you are so capable that you would manage to get her back on your own! Avery told me that, at the moment, the one thing that worries her most is the whereabouts of Ivy. If you can find Ivy, there is hope of getting Avery back. After all, she couldn't possibly let

"I can pay you, but you are just going to say that I'm trying to insult you." Ben stumbled towards the couch. "Lilith, I've been really happy tonight, that's why I drank so much.""What for?" Lilith set the glass down and went to sit down next to him. "Because my brother and Avery have resolved the misunderstanding between them?""Yeah! Isn't that something to be happy over?" He leaned back against the couch and tilted his head up, breathing heavily. "Once your brother settles down, we should settle down as well, right?" He said, before turning to look at Lilith."My career isn't steady yet!" Lilith felt troubled every time Ben tried to talk her into getting married whenever she returned to Aryadelle. She had developed feelings for him through the years she knew him, but it simply was not enough to give her the determination to marry him."Lilith, I've worked for most of my life, so let me tell you, there will never be an end to work. We can get married first, and you can continue

One of the two cars was the custom-made car that Mike and Hayden had ordered. It was the only one of its kind. Not only was the color unique, but they had spent a fortune on the interior as well, which was jewel-toned.Avery fell in love with the car as soon as she laid eyes on it. No matter how old she was, she could not resist the charm of pink.However, the red car parked next to the silvery-pink car confused her. The red car was one of the variations of the first batch of cars Dream Maker had released into the market.She took a photo of it and sent it to Mike, asking him to check the order to see who bought it for her. In truth, she already had the answer in mind as she messaged Mike.Elliot had taken Robert to Bridgedale at the time the Dream Maker cars were launched, so she had a feeling that Elliot was the one who had bought her the car.Avery wrestled with her theory. If Elliot did not call her and admit to having bought the car, she would prefer to pretend that she did n

"I built her a house back in her hometown and gave her an allowance every month.""Okay." Avery could not help but glance at him. "Elliot, I lived in Bridgedale before, so of course, I know about Dream Maker and their products. I can buy whatever I want myself, but thank you for the car.""Can you tell me how you got that silvery-pink car now?" Elliot had already guessed from what she said that she was not the one who purchased the car."You already know the answer to that question, don't you?" she said. "Someone else got it for me. Do you want to know who it was?"The look in Elliot's eyes grew colder, but he refrained from asking, knowing that Avery would not tell him even if he did."I've done something unnecessary, then." Sensing the irony in all of it, he said, "You don't have enough parking space here, do you?""Why, do you want your car back?" Her heart sank at the defeated look on his face. She had not expected to receive two cars at her doorstep at the same time. It almo
