NovelEnglish"Elliot said to cancel the engagement. He’s not coming,” Henry said, then quickly held on to his mother.
Rosalie was dumbfounded.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?” Henry shook his head and said, "I don't know. He hung up the phone right away. Maybe something happened! I'll get the driver to send you home for now. I'll explain everything to the guests and send them home after lunch." The entire thing was an embarrassing mess! However, nobody dared speak up about it.
All of the guests’ eyes fell on Zoe's crying face.
She had never been through anything as humiliating as this in her entire life! She did not want to stay there for another moment.
She picked up her gown and ran out of the banquet hall in tears.
She was not going to let Avery get away with this! Over at the Starry River Kindergarten, Hayden was watching the engagement party venue when Zoe suddenly ran out! This made his little brows furrow.
If Elliot Foster was not at the banquet hall by now, did it mean that he was not going? Otherwise, why would Zoe Sanford leave? Was the engagement called off? Hayden's chest tightened, and he steadied his breath.

He said that he did not want a dirtbag for a father.
However, if his father was not a dirtbag, then how would he be able to refuse to acknowledge his biological father? At noon, the luncheon proceeded as scheduled in the banquet hall.
The guests quickly finished their food, then hurried out of the venue.
Hayden did not have a chance to play the video he had prepared.
"Layla," he said suddenly.
"What's wrong, Hayden?" "Dirtbag Dad isn't getting engaged.” "Huh? Why not?" Layla asked in confusion as she walked over to her brother.
"The dirtbag didn't show up," Hayden said bluntly.
"Is he trying to humiliate all womankind?" Layla asked sternly.
Hayden had no idea what had happened, so he did not have an answer to his sister's question.
In the black Rolls-Roice, Elliot took Avery's phone and charged it in his car.
Avery's emotions had slowly simmered down.
He would not let her out of the car if she did not calm down his anger.
Elliot was adamant on finding proof that Avery knew Eric Santos.
She could only allow him to search for it. Once Avery's phone was charged, Elliot opened up her call history.
He glanced through it, then asked, "Why are there so many initials in your contacts? "They're my classmates from abroad.” Her answer made him frown.
If Avery was not lying, then Eric Santos’ name would not appear in her phone.
"I'm asking you for the last time, Avery. Do you know Eric Santos?" Elliot asked as he held onto her phone and stared at her with his hawk-like eyes.

Avery took her phone back, then teased, " Aren't you going to woo your Doctor Sanford? What if she decides not to treat your precious Shea anymore?" "Does my misery amuse you?" Elliot asked with a furious expression on his face.
He unlocked the car doors, but Avery stayed unmoving from her seat.
Elliot's brows furrowed. He did not know what she was thinking.
"I'm not going anywhere unless you send me home," Avery said.
She was starving from being cooped up in the car with him all morning and had no energy to get out.
Elliot stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car towards Starry River Villa.
Before Avery got out of the car, she grabbed onto the door handle and hissed through gritted teeth, "You're despicable, Elliot Foster!" "Despicable?" Elliot snapped as the vein in his forehead pulsed. "Who's a gentleman in your eyes, then? Mike? Or your dear Wesley?" "Anybody would still be better than you!" Avery said coldly, then pushed the door open and began to get up from her seat.
Elliot reached out and yanked her back into the car.
Before Avery could struggle, Elliot's lips landed forcefully on hers, trapping her into a domineering kiss!
