"Alright! I'll donate it! It's good to do scharity from tto time!" Edward flushed angrily and said reluctantly.

"Are you disappointed in me, Elliot?" Nick asked.
"I can't be bothered to feel disappointed. I just want to find my daughter." Elliot had chosen not to spend New Year's with his family and hurry to Ylore because he wanted to settle this as soon as possible.
"Why are you so stubborn? You still have Layla, right? If Ivy's gone for good, just let it be! If you want another daughter, you and your wife can make another! Is it really worth exhausting yourself to this extent over her?" Edward said. "Sons are the most important children. Your son is talented, and I would be over the moon if I were you!" "Sons and daughters are equally important!" Elliot said. "Had I known that Ivy was my daughter, I would not have been so cold to her after she was born. I want to make it up to her!" "But what can you do if you can't find her? It's so easy if someone wants to hide a child that small!" Ted said. "She might be dead by now. Children drop like flies. I've had a few kids die." Both Elliot and Hayden were rendered speechless.
"My first child died in childbirth because of suffocation. My second child was born after that but was unlucky enough to choke to death while eating. The third one went playing in a lake and drowned..." Ted's expression darkened as he thought back to his lost children.
"If Ivy is still alive, why is it so hard to find her? We all already know that Juliet bought her, so why can't we find any leads?" Ted said, before coming to a realization. "I think she's dead! Just stop looking! If she's still alive, she will cto you when she is older." Elliot did not have much of an appetite to begin with and had completely lost interest in his food at Ted's comment.

"I can tell as well!" Edward raised his glass to Hayden. "I heard that you were the one who built Dream Maker. How are you so talented? All your dad did when he was your age was study." Elliot felt slightly insulted at first but soon realized that a compliment toward his son was just as good as one directed at him.
"When you were my age, not only were you less talented, I don't think you were good at studying as well right? You wouldn't be this foolish if you had read a few more books, Hayden said mercilessly with no concern for his feelings. Edward slammed his palms onto the table in rage.
"Don't get mad, Edward. We are indeed not as talented as Hayden," Nick consoled him. "Be it his mind for business or strategy in dealing with his enemies, we can't hold a candle to him. It's not embarrassing to admit that. He is Elliot's son and not sstranger's son "Edward, your second daughter is around Hayden's age, right? Why don't you get them to meet? If they could be engaged... well, it would deepen our bonds." Edward's eyes lit up, satisfied with the idea.
"You three wanted to killjust a few minutes ago, or have you already forgotten that?" Hayden said, reminding them.
"We've found peace, haven't we?" Edward smiled sheepishly.
"Who said that?" Hayden said calmly. "Shameless old twat." Enraged, Edward threw his spoon away and stood abruptly, "I'm done! You guys go on!" he said before storming off.
