As the doors closed, Paul and Elliot were left staring at each other.
"I thought you were one of the people who hoped that my godfather would die?" asked Paul.
"Do you expect me to tell you the truth?" asked Elliot.
"Haha! Why am | even talking to you? As long as I'm alive, | won't let you do anything to harm my godfather!" swore Paul.
"You wouldn't be able to stop me if | were to do anything to him," said Elliot.
"You finally admit that you are up to no good!" exclaimed Paul.
"What about you? Too bad you lost, Ruby loves me," said Elliot.

"Elliot Foster, don't think that you have already won. Your hubris will be your downfall!" said Paul.
Avery, Wesley, Shea, and Adrian touched down at the Aryadelle airport.
As soon as they got out of the arrival gate, they saw Mike at the airport.
"Avery, you are finally back! | don't think that I can hold on any longer!" complained Mike as he gave Avery a big hug.
"You look just like your brother! Shea, don't do anything stupid. As long as we are alive, there will be hope. You haven't met Robert, you don't know how cute he is, cute and naughty," said Mike.
"Huh? Naughty?" asked Avery.
"Robert is like a husky, the moment he is left to his own devices, he starts to take apart stuff that's around him.
Mrs. Cooper isn't doing anything about it either," said Mike.
"What about you?" asked Avery.
"Like | have time to take care of a little kid! By the way, Adrian asked if | needed an investor? | told him to wait till you're back. Just the money from Eric is enough to keep the company running for quite some time," explained Mike.
"We don't need help from the Sterling Group, for now. If worse comes to worst, | would rather the company go bankrupt. There's no point in dumping in an endless amount of money to save something that is doomed," said Avery.
"| agree. Let's go back to our home first! These two cars are ours!" said Mike as he pointed to the two cars by the door.
"You guys can go, I'll get a taxi," said Wesley.
"Wesley! Come on now, we'll drop you off on the way. There's no way I'm letting you get a taxi on your own," said Avery.

"Wesley, | also want to meet your parents apologize to them," said Shea.
Wesley's face went bright red when he heard Shea wanted to meet his parents. " Shea, | think that would have to wait till | apologize to my parents." Shea bit her lip.
"Wesley, if you are so adamant about it, then you can get a taxi. Make sure to get your parents' forgiveness!" said Avery.
Gary, after going through hours of surgery, finally stabilized.
Elliot went into his empty room and laid down on the bed with his clothes on.
He immediately fell asleep. It'd been ages since he had fallen into such a deep sleep. Elliot felt as if his entire being was being emptied out and put back together again.
When Elliot finally opened his eyes, the sun was already hanging high above the skies.
