Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 1421 - Bab 1430

Avery was not asking but giving an order.She hung up the video call shortly after that.Elliot put the phone down, walked into the shower, and turned on the shower tap. Then, warm water slid along his hair and down his body.He was disturbed because she said she was coming to rescue him, just like how Jed's girlfriend wanted to take revenge for Jed.She did not hesitate even though she knew her effort might kill her.Elliot knew that if Jed had been alive, Jed would not have let his girlfriend risk her life to avenge his death.Elliot still remembered how Jed's girlfriend looked at him when he watched her get trampled on the ground by the bodyguard after she had attempted to assassinate Gary.Her eyes were very bright. Yet, there was no anger but only relief.Elliot decided to save her at that instance because the stubbornness in her eyes reminded him of Avery.He thought if he died in Ylore, Avery might be like Jed's girlfriend, seeking revenge on Gary for his death.Howeve

"Ruby, don't worry, Midas Enterprises will still be yours when your father dies. We won't hurt or bully you. I kidnapped Elliot with your Uncle Ted for your good. Your dad is being hostile to Elliot now, and he will never delegate authority to Elliot again. Maybe one day he'll kill Elliot too. If you want to live happily ever after with Elliot, your father must die.""No… I can't… I can't hurt my dad… He treats me well..." Ruby cried out aloud."Your dad treats you well? Are you kidding me? Your dad has never thought of passing down the inheritance to you." Edward smiled contemptuously, "Don't think it's unbelievable that I let you kill your dad. You Dad has a brother, and you may have never heard of him. That's because your father had killed his brother, and only then did he get the Goulds' property from your grandfather and set up the Midas Enterprises."Ruby's face turned pale because she could not believe what she had heard."If you don't kill your dad, your dad may give Paul s

"I headed out as soon as you called me." Ruby readjusted herself and stepped into the room with the thermal lunch box. "Dad, I've come to see you."Gary hummed in response. He looked awkward. He wondered if she had heard anything he had said."Didn't you say that you are coming with Elliot? Why isn't he here?" Gary was slightly upset when he saw that she had come alone. "He had a bit too much to drink last night, and he came down with a fever. He wanted to visit you, but I didn't want you to catch his fever, so I told him to stay at home and rest," Ruby explained as she opened the lunchbox. "I prepared your favorite mushroom soup today. Let me pour it into a bowl for you.""I ate too much for breakfast, so I can't really stomach the soup right now," Gary said.Disappointment filled Ruby's face as she closed the lid. Seeing that she was disappointed, he immediately said, "Let me drink just a bit, then!"Ruby's heart began to race, and color filled her cheeks. Her fingers on the l

"Then kill me first!" Ruby prevented him from leaving. "Paul, I was the one who did the deed! You saw me feeding my dad the poison…""You stupid woman! You are beyond saving!" Paul shouted.Ruby broke down in tears. "Paul... Brother... I'm sorry... I should have talked to you about this first...""Don't call me your brother! You've really lost your mind this time! How did Father end up with a traitor for a daughter?!" Paul said contemptuously.It was the first time Paul had raised his voice against her. All her strength fled her legs, and she fell. "I'm the one who did this... Just blame it on me if you want to... Don't blame Elliot...""You are still speaking for him?! What spell has he put you under? Ruby, don't you know that he will instantly return to Aryadelle? Are you really that stupid, or are you just avoiding reality? If only Father hadn't stopped him, he would have been long gone! Do you really think that he is going to stay with you now that Father is dead? He doesn't

Layla pouted. "You should ask my mom that!""I dare not," the manager said while chuckling. "I'm afraid that I'll make her feel sad if I ask her that question." "But I'm sad, too, now that you have asked me this question!" Layla said gloomily."Do you miss your dad?" the manager asked. "He would often tell me how much he loves you. He even said that the only reason he makes plenty of money is so you can spend it all." "Really?" Layla batted her big, bright eyes and asked, "What else did he say?""Your dad doesn't say much, but whenever he talks about you, he gets really excited. He would always say that he loves his daughter best." Layla felt a lump in her throat."Do you want to call your dad? I'm sure he would be really happy if you called him," said the manager. "Your mom has to look after your brother, but I'm sure you can get your mom's phone and call your dad." "Uncle, I think it's you who wants to talk to my dad, right?" Layla saw right through him.The manager flus
