When Layla heard what Avery said, she calmed down a little."Then, I'll still listen to Uncle Mike! He must be doing this for you," Layla muttered."Layla, did your Daddy really cry?" Avery could not believe it. She had always thought Elliot to be strong."It's true!" Layla replied loudly. "Mommy, why would I lie to you? I saw it myself.""Oh…" Avery still found it hard to believe. "Layla, could your Daddy be crying about something else?""What?" Layla was stunned for a while. "I-I don't know either, but there is nothing for him to cry about in our family! Robert has been good today. He played for a while outside before going to bed. Only I made him angry.""Layla, don't be sad. Your Daddy will know the truth one day," said Avery, consoling Layla. "It's late. Have you showered?""Not yet…""Then, go shower and go to bed. When you finish your homework, take Robert to see me. By then, if there is anything, I will tell you two in person," Avery said in a relaxed tone, trying to ca

Natalie was 1.65 meters tall. With high heels, she was at least 1.7 meters.The man in the wheelchair looked like he was barely a meter tall!Natalie truly could not take such a blow. Even if it was just talking business with him, she could not face that man with a normal gaze."Miss Jennings, why are you looking at me with that gaze?" The so-called Billy looked at Natalie. He said in a rather stiff tone, "Is it because I'm disabled and ugly?"Natalie immediately came to her senses. She shook her head. "No. I'm only very shocked. I'm shocked at your unyielding spirit to start a business.""Oh, a cripple with determination, is that it?" Billy smiled an ugly smile."Mr. Billy, I am definitely not laughing at your disability. Also, I don't consider you disabled," said Natalie immediately. "I don't know much about your condition, so I can't comment on it, but I'm not looking down on you."The so-called Billy saw how her attitude was still quite sincere, so he jumped down from the wh

"Natalie, this is only what you have heard. Unless your friend can provide a clear photo and detailed information, you won't get the money."Elliot's reply woke Natalie up. "Elliot, you're mistaken. I'm not using this to get your money. I only saw how you wanted to know about him, so I told you what I know.""What you know might not be accurate. I want accurate information." Elliot rubbed the middle of his brows. "If there is nothing else, I'm hanging up. It's midnight over here. The next time you call me, can you please consider the time difference.""I'm so—" Before Natalie could finish her apology, Elliot hung up.Natalie forced back the tears in her eyes.She deserved it! She deserved it! If she had not tried to seduce Billy, she would never have been so humiliated. She held her phone tightly, walked over to the bar, and took a bottle of red wine.She would not be defeated just like that. Since she could not accept Billy's perverted demands, she was going to continue to sta

Avery heard his explanation, and she instantly lost it."Where is the burial pit!" She choked up and stood up from the sofa.Elliot stood up too. He walked over and pushed her back down on the sofa."I have already sent someone to check it." He sat down next to her and looked at her from a close distance. "Avery, other than Ivy's matter, I'm most worried about you. I have thought about it the entire night. Why is your boyfriend like a shadow? Since you two are already together, why won't you introduce him to us?""Elliot, are you my parents? Why should I get him to meet you?" said Avery, quickly recollecting her emotions."Even if we're not family, we are considered friends, right? Are you not going to let your friends meet him?" said Elliot, compromising. "Even if you can't let us meet him, let me see his photo!""No," Avery said. "I don't like photos.""Is he a dwarf?""Elliot, this is his privacy. Why do you insist on knowing?" Avery took a deep breath. "I don't pick my boy

"Thanks to you, he now thinks I have a boyfriend with dwarfism. He came to quarrel with me early in the morning. He just left," Avery said and she got angry once more.Other than being angry at Elliot, she was angry at Mike too. Mike was too presumptuous this time. If he were to continue that way, soon Elliot would find out the true identity of the boss of Dream Maker.Hayden wanted to completely surpass Elliot's Sterling Group before revealing his identity to Elliot."No. What sort of boyfriend you look for has nothing to do with you. What is he getting so worked up about." Mike laughed. "I wondered if Natalie used the fake Billy information in exchange for Elliot's fifteen million. Haha!""Mike, you have to stop it already. Stop doing such strange things. Even if Natalie comes looking for you all in the future, just ignore her," Avery said. "I'm back in Aryadelle this time to look for Ivy, yet you created so much trouble for me. My head hurts."Mike said, "You won't be able to a
