Chapter 2909
It was a cloudy day, and there was not a soul in the street so when a car stopped outside the mansion, the servant immediately headed toward the gate. "I didn't hear that we were expecting guests!"The bodyguard went over as well.It was a taxi, and once the car door opened, the servant and bodyguard froze at the sound of a baby crying.It had been years since the sound of a baby crying had been heard in Elliot's mansion.The bodyguard immediately opened the gate and went outside to survey the situation, and the servant hurried after him.A middle-aged woman with a baby in her arms stepped out, and since it was snowing, the woman had wrapped the baby tightly in a blanket."Who are you?" the servant asked curiously. "Do you know the owner of this place?"The woman shook her head and said, "Is this Elliot Foster's house? I'm here to deliver a baby. The security guard didn't want to let me in and only made an exception when I said that this baby belongs to the Fosters."Both the b

"You are Avery Tate, right? This baby belongs to your people... If you want him, you need to pay me," the woman said to Avery. "The person who sent me told me that you would pay me if I handed the baby to you. Just look at the weather today! It's not easy for me to travel all this way with your baby!"The servant hurried over and placed the jacket across Avery’s shoulders, just in time to hear what the woman had said. "We don't even know whose baby this is yet! Bring the baby's mother here to talk to us!" The servant was firmly on Avery's side.Avery and Elliot had had a harmonious marriage, and they had four children together.'Why would there be an illegitimate child out of nowhere? How will Avery accept this? How are Avery's children going to take this?' the servant thought."There's no point in you arguing with me! I'm just here to deliver the baby. If you refuse to pay me, then... I won't hand the baby over," the woman said angrily, dumbfounded that they felt no pity for the b

"Mr. Foster, don't you feel sorry for this baby? If you don't want him, I guess I will just send him to an orphanage." Feeling as though she was freezing, the woman intended to leave with the child, as she gambled on the chance that Elliot would not have the heart to abandon a baby."Stop right there!" Elliot roared. "Who handed you this baby? Did she say anything else apart from asking you to deliver the baby?"The woman stopped. "She didn't say anything else! She just said that you would pay me if I delivered the baby here. Had I known that this is how you all would be treating me, I wouldn't have come. I'm just a milk delivery worker. I don't know anything else."Elliot was speechless.The bodyguard noticed the troubled look on his face and said, "Mr. Foster, just let her leave!"The bodyguard knew that Avery would never allow the baby to stay and would likely still be furious even if the baby was sent away.This was proof that Elliot had been cheating on Avery, and any woman

There was a slim possibility that someone had schemed to obtain his DNA to produce his child in a lab."What if the child is yours?" Avery asked, her voice muffled as she glared at him with tears in her eyes."It can't be mine! Even if he's mine, someone must have played some kind of trick! I don't love anyone but you!" Elliot's chest heaved. "If this child is mine, I will give everything up. You can have everything and all of our kids. I don't want anything."Avery pulled away from him and went back into the house.She would have left right away if they did not have any children. However, they had four children who were all adults at this point, so she knew that she could not act recklessly.If Elliot was truly cheating on her and had ended up having an illegitimate child, she knew that her children would not spare him.Avery took off her jacket once she returned to the living room, feeling like she was boiling with anger.The bodyguard carried the baby inside, and, though the

The baby had stopped crying and was behaving because someone was holding him.The servant felt anxious as Elliot and Avery had always been a loving couple who had not had a fight in years."What if the results aren't ideal?" the servant thought.She set the baby onto the bed and took out her phone, wondering whether she should call Layla in case Layla could help calm her parents down.Half an hour later, Layla hurried home. However, it had nothing to do with the servant's phone call. The finance manager of her company had informed her that Avery was requesting a legal separation agreement where Elliot would be left with nothing.Terrified, Layla immediately set all her work aside and hurried home."Dad, what's going on? Are you and Mom fighting?" Layla darted into the living room without even taking her shoes off.Elliot sat on the couch alone in the living room.The servant heard Layla's voice and ran outside. "Layla, why are you here?" The servant was still contemplating whet

Tears rolled down Layla's face when she heard Hayden's voice, and she felt like the world was ending.Her harmonious family was on the brink of falling apart.Though she had married Eric, she had never once stopped considering herself a part of her family and thought that she had matured after getting married; however, this sudden event had made her realize that she was not strong enough.After ending her call with Hayden, Layla accepted a piece of tissue paper from the servant."Layla, I know that you are upset, but your dad says that this baby isn't his. I don't think he is lying," the servant reiterated. "Why don't we wait for the DNA test results, hm?"Layla dried her tears and turned her attention back to the baby.Woken by the noise Layla had been making on the phone, the baby was looking around dazedly."But I think he looks just like Dad!" Layla felt increasingly upset as she studied the baby.With there being so much resemblance between him and the baby, it was obvious

At first glance, he thought that the baby looked hideous.He was certain that the baby was not his, and since the baby had brought a crisis into his marriage, he would not have bothered looking at it had he not needed a paternity test done."I just don't understand! Why would you break our family apart? Do you think that you will be free if you get a divorce?" Layla shouted. "You don't have to sneak around like that if you want freedom! Even if Mom forgives you, I will never forgive you!"Elliot was rendered speechless."Once the lawyer gets here, sign the agreement." Layla sat down on the couch gloomily. "If Mom wants to divorce you, you will leave without a penny to your name. If you try to resist, my siblings and I will all work together to make your life a living hell."Elliot remained silent."Your best option is to take your illegitimate child and leave after the divorce. Don't show your face to us again. You aren't that old and are quite strong physically, so you can inves

The legal specialist and Elliot were left alone in the living room.The specialist glanced at Elliot, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start."Just say it," Elliot said."Mr. Foster, I used to look up to you because I think you manage your business and family extremely well. You must be extremely talented to achieve that...""Just skip the compliments, and get to the point." Elliot's head was pounding.His wife was giving him the cold shoulder — and so would all of his children, once they found out.If the paternity test proved that the child was his, his family would abandon him, and that was one of the biggest fears of any man."You're a smart man, so why did you make such a foolish mistake?" the legal specialist sighed. "Your wife is a brilliant woman, and so are your children. Why did you have to go looking for excitement out there?""I didn't! Why won't any of you believe me?""Well... Why would your wife be upset with you if you didn't do anything?""Th
