Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004
“Mr. Foster had been drinking, and he is drunk. I tried talking to him but he ignored me. It was like he lost his soul.” Mrs. Scarlet was very worried. “I thought the two of you got into a fight again so I called to find out what happened.” Avery said, “Oh, he probably went to entertain some clients today and drank too much.” That comment reassured Mrs. Scarlet. “As long as the two of you didn’t quarrel, all is well. I’ll go upstairs to check on him later.” Avery said, “I’ll call him and speak to him!” “Sure thing.” Avery hung up and called Elliot.

“There’s no need.” Without thinking, he rejected her.
He just wanted to be alone now. He did not want to see anyone. He did not want to talk to anyone.
The past thirty years of his life had been a lie. There was no truth to be found in them.
He still could not believe that it was his “mother” who planned all this.
However, he had clearly felt the love Rosalie had for him. Sometimes she would even show her open support for him to prevent his elder brother’s family from holding him back.
