Chapter 779 Mike summarized the incident in simple wordings and sent it to Avery while attaching a photo of Elliot
that he took in secret along with the message.
It was ten at night in Bridgedale. Avery had just gotten into bed and had yet to fall asleep.
When she saw the message Mike sent, she tried to picture the reason behind Elliot‘s action, but her lack of

If it was done to seek revenge from Chelsea for causing Avery to go into delivery early, why would he burn Charlie‘s
apartment down, and why did he choose to do so at such a time?
There had to be something else going on apart from his history with the Tierney siblings.
Had it been any time before, Avery would have confronted Elliot to ask him what had happened between them, but
she no longer had the energy for that.
Her three children had taken up eighty percent of her energy; and what little was left was reserved for treating

She had come to an agreement with the White Family that she would perform the first surgery on Adrian after new
years. After the first surgery, they would decide if they could proceed with the second surgery based on the
outcome.
Seeing that she did not reply, Mike took a photo of Hayden and Layla and sent it to her.
This time, she couldn‘t help but reply, ‘why are Layla‘s eyes so red? Did she cry?‘
‘Yeah. Shea‘s photo was displayed at the funeral and she cried when she saw it.‘
Avery was overwhelmed with emotions when she received his reply. If she was at the funeral, she wouldn‘t be able
to hold back her tears as well.
After remaining silent for a while, she sent another message.
‘How is he?‘
‘Which one? Are you talking about Hayden or Elliot?‘
Avery gasped awkwardly.
Mike was teasing her on purpose, but did not want to enrage her, so he replied right away.
‘Hayden didn‘t cry, but has been frowning the entire time. Elliot is the same. There‘s no doubt that they are father
and son. They are practically identical.‘
Avery held onto her phone GNUMFU<h slowly began to drift off the sleep.
Shea would rest in peace and all the pain would sooner or later fade.
Meanwhile, in a hospital in Aryadelle.
Wanda rushed to the hospital at the first chance she had to visit Charlie.
It wasn‘t that she truly cared if Charlie lived or died; she simply wanted to see how miserable he was.
Elliot told her the night before that she would not have a happy ending, and because of that, she had not been able

Wanda set the flowers and fruits she brought down and consoled Charlie‘s mother.
“Sis, this is not an accident,” she said, “Elliot set the place on fire.”

When she spoke, Charlie reacted right away from the bed. He tried to nod but his eyes were soon filled with tears
from the pain.
His mother felt even worse when she saw her son‘s reaction.
“Charlie, we just need to protect our own properties. If you focus too much on taking something that belongs to
others, you could risk what you have in the end!” Charlie‘s mother knew how ambitious her son was, and felt
helpless when she saw what had happened to him.
“Don‘t cry, sis. Charlie will get better,” Wanda said, “I want to talk to him, alone. I will talk some sense into him.”
Charlie‘s mother nodded and left the room.
Wanda said to Charlie, “seeing how you‘ve ended up is like looking into my own future, but I
don‘t want to submit to my fate, so I have to gamble. I thought of a perfect plan and I will surely be able to get that
box. However, I will not be working with you any longer, because you have been utterly defeated this time.”
