"You went and became Avery's assistant. Do you have any idea how many eyes are watching you?" Mr. Sutton gritted out. "Someone found out that you are from Ylore and looked into your background, before eventually finding out that you were involved with Paul~""So what if I was?" Juliet sobbed. "Just because I knew him, I have to die as well?!""Haha! No one wants you dead, but you are definitely not going back to Aryadelle!" He roared. "I've arranged a marriage for you and you are getting married before the end of this year! If I can't keep you in check, someone will!""Dad! I don't want to get married! I won't go back to Aryadelle. I won't go anywhere. Just don't make me get married!" She pleaded."You will have to! Juliet, I'm warning you. You have brought us into this mess, so you have to fix it! Once you get married, you will no longer be a part of this family! If you cause any more trouble, your in-laws will take care of you!" Mr. Sutton said, before turning to leave.Mrs. Sut

Elliot was at the same table as them and everyone turned their attention to Lilith and Elliot at Tammy's question.Lilith took a deep breath and asked, "Elliot, can I tell them?"Avery spotted the blush on Elliot's face and said, "tell them if you want to. It's fine.""Oh..." Lilith turned back to Tammy. "He gave me a lot of money. I didn't want it, but Ben accepted them."Tammy stared at Ben in disbelief. "You don't hold back at all, huh, Ben?""We are going to be a family. Why should I?" Ben smiled at Avery and Elliot. "Right?""Of course. We are a family now," Avery said. "Marriage is like a journey. This is just the start of it. You will both have to work on your relationship and tend to it patiently from now on.""Avery, you sound so experienced. I guess it makes sense. You and Elliot have been through a lot in the past decade. Do you have any plans to write a book or something?""Have you started on your book, Tammy?" Avery asked. "How to Tame Your Husband."Tammy choked

Juliet was freed.She had broken the chains on her in her own way.When Mrs. Sutton saw her daughter's lifeless body, she wailed and lost consciousness in that very moment.Chaos erupted inside the house, before returning to peace shortly after."It's good that she died! That ought to save me some trouble!" Mr. Sutton said coldly. "There's no need for a funeral. Do not say a word about this to outsiders. Just get her body cremated."He left his son in charge, before leaving.After Mr. Sutton left, the tears in Jane's eyes scrolled down her cheeks."Brother, can I keep Juliet's phone?" She pleaded. "I feel so horrible. She wouldn't have done this if I didn't give her that hairpin...""She will find a way to take her own life even if you didn't!" He returned to his room to retrieve Juliet's phone, before handing it to Jane. "I threw the sim card away, so you can just keep the phone!"Jane returned to her room in tears with Juliet's phone.Meanwhile, in Aryadelle.During the Ta

"Can you sleep in peace not knowing what has happened?" Elliot asked. "You need to be here for the annual dinner, so go back to your seat! I will return once I have a handle on what has happened."Avery nodded. "Call Isaac and ask him out to a restaurant nearby. It's late, so don't wander too far.""Yeah. I'll go now," he said and shot his bodyguard a look.His bodyguard followed Elliot, and, once they left, Avery returned to her seat."Mom, where's Dad? Where did he go?" asked Layla, noticing that Elliot had not come back with her."Your dad needs to handle something.""What's wrong? Is it dangerous?" Layla asked worriedly."It's not dangerous. I wouldn't have let him go if it's not safe," Avery reassured her. "If all goes well, he should be back soon."As soon as Elliot walked out of the hall, he called Isaac.Not sensing the crisis awaiting him, Isaac answered the call and asked brusquely, "Do you need something, Mr. Foster?""Come out. There's something I need to talk to

In her apartment, Natalie was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone to pass the time.She had slept during the day, so she was not tired at all.She had followed a few of the staff at Tate Industries, so she was browsing their social media. That night was Tate Industries' annual dinner, held at the city's largest exhibition center.Many staff posted photos on their personal social media.Natalie looked at the liveliness of the photos, then thought about how alone she was at that moment. She felt a little sad.Some of the staff had even taken photos of Elliot giving a speech on stage. Elliot, in these photos, looked tall, slender, and authoritative. He was exactly as she remembered him: the emperor who controlled everything.Natalie's eyes grew sore. She thought of the foolish things she had done and the fantasies she had had of being with him in the past.Ring! The doorbell pulled her back to reality. She rose from the sofa and walked toward the door. From the con
