NovelEnglishAvery took her phone out from her back. When she saw it was a foreign number, she hesitated for a while before answering the
call.
"Hello, Miss Tate, | am the person in charge of Crystal's Auction House. | just checked our data and noticed that you were here at
our auction yesterday, trying to bid for the set of jewelry for children, but due to sreason, the set of jewelry was taken off the
auction. | want to explain the reason to you.
Avery was Elliot's ex-wife, and the person in charge of the auction house did not want to offend her.
"I know the reason," Avery said. "Natalie Jennings wants that set. but she didn't
dare bid with me, so she got Elliot to step in for her to get that set.”
When the person in charge heard what Avery said, he felt extremely awkward. "It was indeed as you described. My boss is an
acquaintance of Mr. Foster's. Also, Mr.
Foster personally called my boss, and my boss has to give in out of respect. But does Mr. Foster not know that you also want that
set?"

"lI don't want it anymore," Avery said. "You don't have to tell him about it."
"Alright, alright. | am calling you to apologize for this. I'm very sorry."
"It's fine. | don't blyou."
After the call, Avery met Layla's prying gaze.
"Mommy, what jewelry?" Avery told Layla about what happened the day before. After Layla heard Avery's recount of the events,
she blew the fringe off her forehead.
"Daddy is an idiot! How could he help other women bully you? | really want to call him and scold him!"
"He doesn't know | went to the auction. He also doesn't know that | wanted the set of jewelry." Avery had already argued with Elliot
about this, and she did not want to get angry about that again.
"Mommy, how could you just leave it at that! | want to get the set of jewelry back!" Layla could accept what had happened; what
she could not accept was that it had been Elliot who had done it.
"What does the set of jewelry look like? Do you have a picture of it?"
Avery found the picture on her phone." Layla, | wanted to buy this set of jewelry to give to you as a birthday gift."
"If that's the case, I'm even angrier!" Layla took Avery's phone over to look at the picture of the jewelry. "This set is gorgeous! It
should be mine! Dirtbag Daddy!"
"Layla, I'll buy you an even more gorgeous one," said Avery, consoling her daughter." But if you tell your Daddy, it will only make
things difficult for him. He can’t just go ;e!> PIW> get it from Natalie. Natalie is not only his employee, but they are also important
working partners."
Layla harrumphed coldly. "I don't care what relationship they have! In my heart, you are the most important one! | don't want to
accept this! | cannot let you feel such grievances!" "Layla, | have already fought with him yesterday. | don't want to quarrel with
him again."
Layla saw how cold Avery looked. She did not want to make Avery angry, so she gave up.
In Bridgedale, Elliot had taken Robert out to play for the entire day. Natalie flew over from Aryadelle.

At night, Natalie went to the hotel to look for Elliot to have dinner with father and son.
"Elliot, I've looked into the Dream Maker situation. Their boss is from Roburg. This person is extremely mysterious. | don't know if
the boss is a man or woman..." Natalie explained what she knew to Elliot.
"Have you spoken with their staff?" Elliot thought that the upper management should know a thing or two about their boss.
"Yes, I've asked before," Natalie said. "A senior colleague of mine works there. | asked him out drinking once and while he was
drunk, | asked him about the
company's situation. He said that no one in the office has seen their boss."
Elliot furrowed his brows. "Then, who hired the managers?"
"There are three people in charge of the company. The three of them look after different departments. They are all the small
shareholders of the company. | heard that the three of them had never seen the boss before, too. | do not have further details on
this, but | can be sure that their boss is not any ordinary person," Natalie said and looked at Robert. "Robert, you're listening
intently. Do you understand what we are talking about?"
Robert shook his head adorably.
