When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1831
Kara took her little hand and walked over to the camera of the mobile phone, staring at Hayden in the video.
When Hayden saw the two little girls appearing, the expression on his face couldn't help softening.
"Kara, Maria, call me brother." Although Hayden had never seen them, he had seen their photos, so he recognized them both.
Kara has a more lively personality, so she shouted obediently: "Brother!"
"Maria, can you speak? If you can, then shout out to brother. When brother comes back to Aryadelle next time, I will buy you a gift!" Hayden coaxed.
Kara pouted: "I called you brother, do you have a gift for me?"
"As long as you call me brother, you will have a gift." After Hayden finished speaking, Robert in Avery's arms felt itchy.
Although he was hiding in his mother's arms, he stared at Hayden in the video with his eyes fixed.
"Brother." Maria shouted shyly and nervously.
Although it was not loud, Hayden heard it.
"Little Maria is really good. Your brother will definitely buy you a big gift!" Hayden promised to look at his brother hiding in his mother's arms, his expression suddenly serious, "Robert, you coward! Both sisters dare to call brother, You dare not! You are really a good son brought out by Elliot!"
Hayden didn't expect his younger brother to be so timid, not like him and Layla at all.
After being yelled at by Hayden, Robert's face flushed, and he quarreled with Hayden: "You are a coward! You bad brother! I don't want you to buy gifts! My father will buy them for me!"
"Then go find your stinky father! Don't hide in my mother's arms!" Hayden mocked.
Robert's eyes were wet with anger, he broke free from Avery's arms and went to find his father.
Avery didn't care about anything else, and immediately ran after Robert.
Avery: "Robert, your father is home."
"Woooooo! I want Dad! I want to go home! I don't like bad brother! He's so fierce!" Robert cried with tears streaming down his face very sadly.
Avery watched her son cry and felt very distressed.
She picked Robert up and strode outside and planned to send Robert back.
She had brought Hayden and Layla, and knew that the child would make a fuss, and if it was not coaxed well, the child would cry and gasp for breath.
Everyone heard Robert's cry and came over to check the situation.
"Robert and Hayden quarreled. I'll take Robert back first. Don't worry, let's go eat!" Avery said, and walked out with Robert in her arms.
When the Foster family bodyguard saw Avery come out with Robert in her arms, the bodyguard immediately greeted her.
"Go in and find Mike and get my car key." Seeing that the black Rolls-Royce had already driven away, Avery spoke to the Foster family bodyguard.
After the bodyguard entered the house, Avery hugged Robert and coaxed gently: "Robert, mother knows you are not a coward. How good you were with your two younger sisters just now! Youe elder brother didn't know because he didn't come back to see you. How good are you…"
Avery cooed patiently, making Robert stop crying quickly.
On the way back, Robert fell asleep in Avery's arms.
After a while, the car stopped in front of Foster's villa.
Avery took Robert to Mrs. Cooper, took the car keys from the bodyguard, and drove away alone.
Elliot came down from the upstairs and frowned when he saw the tears on his son's face.
Mrs. Cooper explained, "Sir, Avery said that Robert and Hayden had a quarrel. The two brothers probably haven't seen each other for three years. They must have no feelings. Hayden won't come back, you can take Robert to Bridgedale to see Hayden. You must miss Hayden too, right?"
Elliot hesitated for a while, then answered.
He really should go to Bridgedale to see Hayden!
Three days later.
Jewelry Auction.
Avery entered the auction site wearing a white casual fisherman hat and a light and elegant purple dress.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1832
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1832
Soon, it will be Hayden and Layla's birthday.
Avery saw the promotion of this jewelry auction on the Internet.
Jewelry in this auction, there was a children's jewelry, particularly beautiful.
Avery took a fancy to it at a glance.
She thought that Layla would like it very much, so she wanted to take a picture and give it to her daughter.
"The next piece of jewelry is a children's jewelry. This jewelry was designed by the empress of the J-Kingdom for her daughter in the last century. This jewelry was made by hand by the top craftsmen of the J-Kingdom at that time. There were a total of 108 gemstones inlaid on it…Whether it's a good choice for taking pictures for my daughter or remodeling." The auctioneer introduced this jewelry on the stage, and after quoting the reserve price, the scene Start bidding.
When Avery was about to bid, the man sitting next to her immediately raised a placard: "$8 million."
Avery took a deep breath.
It seems that this man was determined to win.
Because the reserve price was $5 million.
The man added $3 million directly.
Avery glanced at the picture of the jewelry again, and still liked it very much, presumably her daughter would like it even more.
Thinking of this, she immediately raised her placard.
The default value of a raise is $500,000.
"No. 9 bid $8.5 million!" the auctioneer said immediately, "Is there anyone else?"
"I bid $10 million." Avery corrected.
The auctioneer was shocked and immediately corrected: "No. 9 bid $10 million. Is there anyone else to follow?"
No. 10, who was sitting beside Avery, looked panicked.
He stared at Avery.
Avery lowered the brim of her hat, not wanting to be seen by outsiders.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." The man number 10 didn't see Avery's face clearly, so he didn't dare to increase the price rashly, and he didn't want to give up, so he made a request.
Auction suspended.
The man called Norah Jones and said, "Ms. Jones, the woman sitting next to me also wants to photograph that set of jewelry. I asked for 8 million, and she directly increased it to 10 million. She is wearing a hat, I can't see her face, and I don't know where she is. I don't know how much she can add. So I can only ask you."
Norah Jones's reserve price was $10 million. She wanted to photograph this set of jewelry, but also to give it to Layla at that time. Of course, she won't send a whole set directly. Too expensive gift, She's afraid Elliot will not allow Layla to accept it.
She can give a necklace this time and a bracelet next time. She didn't want to be disrupted by the plan she had made. But to increase the price, she felt that it was not worth it.
That set of jewelry, although precious and beautiful, is only worth 10 million at most. Any more, is the IQ tax.
"Ms. Jones, the organizer of this auction and Mr. Foster know each other. Would you like to call Mr. Foster and ask him to help?"
Norah Jones hesitated for a while, then said, "I'll call Mr. Foster and ask."
After a while, The man No. 10 finished the call and returned to the auction hall.
From the corner of Avery's eyes, she saw a triumphant smile on The man's face, as if everything was under control.
The man: "Give up this set of jewelry!"
Avery replied, "give me a reason to give up."
"My boss is going to make an order. And we won't increase the price. Just use $10 million to buy this set of jewelry." The man put his hands around his chest, and the corner of his mouth raised a smug smile.
A staff member in uniform walked in and called the auctioneer off the stage, and the two had a private chat.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1833
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1833
Immediately, the staff left and the auctioneer took the stage.
"I'm sorry. The set of children's jewelry we are auctioning now has been reserved by important guests. So it will not be auctioned to the public." The auctioneer's voice was settled, and the relevant picture introduction on the big screen behind was removed and replaced with another one. A product to be auctioned.
"My boss is what the auctioneer calls an important guest. You don't want to give up, you have to give up." The man No. 10 completed the task, so it was very relaxed, "No matter how much money you have, you can't compare to my boss's connections."
"Oh Who is your boss?" Avery was unwilling, but since the organizer said it would not be auctioned to the outside world, she had nothing to do. She just wanted to know who the person who photographed this set of jewelry is.
"You must be familiar with Tate Industries, right?" The man No. 10 said proudly, "My boss is the boss of Tate Industries."
"Norah Jones?" Avery asked.
The man No. 10: "Look, I know that my boss is now famous! Even if you are rich, can you be as rich as my boss? Besides, my boss doesn't even bother to have more money than you. Because my boss's connections can reach the sky! "
"Elliot?" Avery was stunned for a moment, "You mean Elliot?"
"It seems that you know a lot!" The man No. 10 looked at her with admiration, but unfortunately her hat was too low, so The man could only see her red lips.
"Elliot ordered this set of jewelry for your boss?" Avery asked.
"Yes! If you don't agree, go to the organizer! Besides, since you are so rich, you go to the designer to customize high-end jewelry! Why do you have to fight with our boss for something?" The man No. 10 finished arrogantly, get up, leave.
Avery followed and left the auction site.She came here specifically for this set of children's jewelry, but it was a pity that Norah Jones took it away by improper means.
Auctions, as the name suggests, whoever bids the most will go to whoever bids the most.
Norah Jones and Elliot's behavior violated the auction principle.
…..
Bridgedale.
After Elliot answered Norah Jones's call, he checked the time.
It's already 11 o'clock at night.
Robert was beside him, sleeping soundly.
Elliot came Bridgedale this time to see Hayden. But he hasn't contacted Hayden yet, so Hayden still doesn't know the news of his coming.
He didn't know how to contact Hayden. If he call Hayden directly, Hayden will definitely not want to see him.
The best way was to call Avery and asked Avery to tell Hayden.
Thinking of this, Elliot sent Avery a message: [I brought Robert to Bridgedale. I want them brothers to meet. Can you help to talk to Hayden?]
When Avery saw the message he sent, she was out of anger.
Without thinking about it, she rejected Elliot: [no.]
Elliot looked at the word she sent and fell into deep thought.
As for the matter of the Tate Industries, is she so angry?
Elliot lifted the thin quilt, lifted his long legs, and got out of bed.
He entered the bathroom, closed the door, and dialed Avery.
Avery answered in seconds.
She is in a bad mood now, like a walking dynamite keg. Elliot called her at this time, and they were destined to have a big fight.
"Don't you have the ability to reach the sky?" Avery answered the phone, without waiting for him to speak, she sneered, "You want to see Hayden, go see it yourself, I won't help you!"
"Avery, have you eaten dynamite?" Elliot frowned, his anger was successfully aroused, "About the fact that the Tate Industries is going to go public independently…"
"Don't tell me this! I don't care!" Avery's voice became heavier and more angry than him, "Elliot, I have never seen a man more despicable and shameless than you. I really want to curse you to death!"
Elliot was holding the phone tightly, and everything in front of him was suddenly distorted.
"How despicable and shameless am I?!" Elliot roared, "Avery, I have warned you long ago about the consequences of divorce! You want me to die now, but I am not!"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1834
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1834
His roar was so loud that he woke Robert who was asleep.
After Robert woke up, he burst into tears.
Elliot hung up the phone quickly and came out of the bathroom.
Avery heard her son's cry, and her out of control emotions quickly calmed down. She was so impulsive just now!
Elliot said that he took Robert to find Hayden. Even if she didn't want to help Elliot, it was really necessary for Robert to meet Hayden.
Thinking of this, she sent Hayden a message and told him about Elliot and Robert going to Bridgedale.
At the same time, Avery hopes Hayden can find time to meet them.
The next morning.
While Elliot and Robert were having breakfast, they received a call from Hayden.
Hayden asked where he was.
After Elliot told Hayden his location, he asked, "Did your mother tell you?"
"Otherwise?" Hayden said coldly, "I'm going to find you now."
Elliot looked at the hung up phone, feeling like Like a dream.
Talking to Avery on the phone last night, they were arguing.
Elliot thought Avery really wouldn't help him, but he didn't expect Avery to be duplicitous, with a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart.
So Avery said that she cursed him to death, Elliot was afraid it's also fake.
About half an hour later, Hayden came to the hotel and met Elliot and Robert.
"Do you want something to eat?" Elliot handed the menu to Hayden, looking at his eldest son for a moment.
Hayden had grown a lot taller, his eyes were firm, and his expression was cold, just like an adult.
"No." Hayden refused.
Hayden's eyes fell on Robert's face.
Robert was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
The little guy was deeply impressed by this fierce brother.
His brother called him a coward.
"Call me brother." Hayden ordered to Robert.
Elliot looked down at Robert, and said in a low voice, "Robert, this is your brother. Call your brother."
Robert pouted and made a small report to his father: "He said I was a coward. I didn't want to call him brother."
Elliot: "If you call him brother, he won't call you a coward."
Robert hesitated.
At this time, Hayden took out a black box from his bag.
"Calling brother, I'll give you a gift." Hayden tempted him with a gift.
Robert stared at the black box and opened his mouth: "Brother."
"That's good!" Hayden handed over the gift, "Open it yourself."
Robert held the box in both hands and carefully opened it. Inside was a A cute lamb.
Robert is a sheep, so Hayden chose this gift.
"Robert, Say thank you to your brother!" Elliot reminded his son.
Robert shyly said, "Thank you, brother."
"Can you be more courageous in the future? Like your sister, eh?" The more Hayden looked at his brother, the more he felt that although he was timid, he looked cute and not so helpless.
"Okay!" Robert closed the box and held it in his arms. He probably liked this gift.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1835
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1835
Then, the atmosphere fell into an awkward situation.
Elliot said, "Hayden, you can often go back to Aryadelle when you have time to see Layla and Robert. I talked to your mother after she returned to Aryadelle. I have the same attitude as her about your three children. We hope that you will grow up healthy and happy, and not be affected by us."
Hayden listened patiently, and his thin lips lightly parted: "I came here for the sake of my mother and brother. You'd better not talk, I don't want to listen any more."
Elliot picked up the water glass and took a sip. Then he took out a card and handed it to Hayden and said, "You accept this card. The password is your birthday. I will make a payment every month. Tell me if you are short of money. Your mother is not working now, and I am afraid she will be stressed."
When the card came, the corners of Hayden's mouth couldn't help but rise. He accepted the card, not in the mood to stay any longer.
Elliot didn't expect him to accept the card, nor did he expect him to smile, nor did he expect that he would leave after accepting the card.
"Aren't you going to stay with your brother for a while?" Elliot retained. In fact, he wanted to spend more time with Hayden. He really wanted to chat with Hayden for a while, and wanted to know about Hayden's study and life in the past two years. Although he knew it was wishful thinking.
"I'm very busy. In the future, when Robert grows up, there will be many opportunities for the two of us to meet." After Hayden finished speaking, he finally glanced at Robert and left the hotel.
Looking at the back of Hayden's departure, Elliot felt lost.
"Dad." Robert raised his head and looked at his father's face, "Brother is left."
"Yeah." Elliot replied.
Robert: "He doesn't seem to like me."
"No. He doesn't like me." Elliot explained, "Look, he gave you gifts, but he didn't give me gifts."
"That's because I called his brother, and if you called him brother, he would also give you gifts." The little guy didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with saying that.
Elliot smiled bitterly: "Your brother is my son, how can I call him brother?"
"brother Hayden said that whoever calls him brother, he will give gifts to anyone." The little guy still doesn't think there is any problem with his logic.
Hayden came out of the hotel and threw the card given by Elliot into the roadside trash can.
He didn't need to rely on Elliot before, and he doesn't need to rely on him now!
The next day, the person in charge of the Tate Industries's Bridgedale branch invited Elliot to dinner.
The person in charge invited executives from major companies in Bridgedale to accompany him.
"Do you know the Dream Maker Company?" Someone asked, raising the topic.
"Is it the company that makes self-driving cars? This company has been very windy recently! It's only been open for two years, but the momentum is very strong! I heard that the cars they make will interrupt the survival of traditional cars, which is unimaginable. "
"It's an exaggeration to say that! Their gimmick is a self-driving safety system, but people can't really trust robots. So they still have to drive it themselves! Their most powerful OTA technology! Traditional cars, just The car, but the car made by the dream maker is more like a flexible AI robot, or a smartphone that we are accustomed to."
"It seems that their car hasn't been launched yet?" Elliot heard something.
He is not interested in the field of automobiles.
But because Jack Tate always wanted to develop a driverless car during his lifetime, he did not develop it until his death.
So after seeing this kind of news, he paid more attention.
"A small number of people have been invited for a test drive. For example, me." The person who said this was the one who had a high opinion of the Dreammaker's car just now, "I dare to say that their car was driven by me. Among all the luxury cars in Aryadelle, the most comfortable and high-tech cars. Their cars will be launched soon, and I will definitely buy them when they are officially launched!"
"Who is the owner of this company?" Elliot asked.
Everyone looked at each other and finally shook their heads.
"We also inquired privately, but we didn't get any useful information at all. We only heard that the boss is from Rishawaka. This person is very mysterious and very capable, but he doesn't seem to be planning to show up."
"Rishawaka?" Elliot was wondering because Rishawaka is just a small country.
But the dream maker's company was opened in Bridgedale.
"Yeah! Although that country is poor, there are also a lot of top rich people." The person in charge looked at Elliot and asked, "Mr. Foster, I have a quota for a test drive of a new car. Would you like to experience it?"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1836
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1836
After Elliot thought for a while, he nodded.
After lunch, the person in charge took him to the Dream Maker Auto Factory.
"Mr. Foster, how long do you plan to stay this time?" The person in charge asked.
"I'll go back to Aryadelle in about two days." Elliot planned to take Robert around tomorrow and then leave.
"Are you here for a private matter this time?" The person in charge hesitated and said, "If your domestic affairs are not so urgent, why don't you stay here for a few more days? I wonder if Ms. Jones told you. We really want to cooperate with Dream Makers, and we are now in contact with their management. If you are here, I feel that the negotiation is more likely to be successful."
Elliot raised his eyebrows slightly: "What to cooperate with them?"
"President Jones is very optimistic about dreamers and wants to invest in shares." The person in charge said, "Because I haven't talked to the other side, Ms. Jones probably hasn't told you yet."
"Why is she optimistic about dreamers?" Elliot asked.
"You will find out when you go for a test drive later. Although Dream Maker has only been established for two years. It is not an easy company to get to the bottom of. The founder of Dream Maker should have laid out the plan very early. The car manufacturing center of the company is the team of an old car company. Their technology research and development department brings together the world's top programmers. So don't look at the company's establishment for two years, but in fact they are a very mature team. They know what kind of product I want to make."
Elliot listened to the person in charge and became more interested in the founder of this company.
An hour later, the car stopped at the Dream Makers headquarters.
After the person in charge showed his test drive notice to the staff, the staff took them towards the car center.
"I heard that your car is already available for reservation, is it true?" the person in charge asked the staff.
"Yes. You can test drive first. Wait until the test drive is over to see if you need to book." The staff replied confidently.
The person in charge: "Okay."
Soon, Elliot saw the dreamer's car.
It looks like a normal car on the market.
The staff took out a proximity card and opened the car.
Elliot was startled.
The difference between the dreamer and the traditional car is opened.
The person in charge opened the door and asked Elliot to enter the driver's seat.
After Elliot got into the driver's seat, the staff simply told him how to use it.
Compared with traditional cars, Dream Maker's cars are simpler to use.
As the guy at the dinner said, the Dreamer's car is more like a large smartphone.
The person in charge: "Mr. Foster, how do you feel?"
Elliot didn't answer. Because he hasn't taken the car out yet.
He pressed the power button and drove the car out slowly.
"Mr. Foster, why don't we try the autopilot function?" The person in charge stared at the autopilot function button, itching in his heart.
Elliot also wanted to try, so he pressed the button.
After that, the big screen on the console showed a real-time scene in all directions outside the car.
Elliot stared at the big screen, completely unaware that he was driving now.
The car drove smoothly all the way from the car center and entered the main road.
Elliot set a destination, and after that, the autopilot system successfully drove the car to the destination.
Passing traffic lights, yielding to pedestrians, letting cars, etc., the cars seem to be more sensitive than real people.
"Mr. Foster, how do you feel?" The person in charge was a little excited, "Ms. Jones has not yet had a test drive, but Ms. Jones has a friend who has done it. So Ms. Jones asked me to try it anyway…"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1837
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1837
"Do you think dream makers will accept investment from outsiders?" Elliot said, "I'm afraid not."
"It's hard to say. Although the car has been built, who knows how the follow-up maintenance and safety issues will be. You stay for a few more days, and I will ask their management to come out to meet. With you here, they will definitely give this face."
Elliot agreed after thinking for a while.
The return trip was his own.
He wanted to feel the difference between this car and a normal car more fully.
When the car starts, it's almost like driving a normal car. Because its control panel is simpler and more convenient to operate, it is easier to use than traditional cars.
It's no wonder that some people said at lunch that the dreamer's car was going to cut off the back road of traditional cars.
However, because the Dream Maker car is currently targeting the mid-to-high-end market, it will not completely suppress traditional mid-to-low-end cars.
After the test drive, the person in charge ordered a new car in advance.
Elliot glanced at the brochures of the first batch of products and decided to order one for Avery. He chose a red car for Avery.
Although Avery gave up the Tate Industries, she certainly did not forget her father's wish during his lifetime.
What Jack Tate did not accomplish is now realized.
Elliot remembered that the people around him talked about Jack Tate, saying that he was unrealistic, daydreaming, and would fail in the end.
Jack Tate did not succeed, but he did not succeed, not because he was unrealistic and daydreaming, but because he died of illness.
If he hadn't died, maybe he would have succeeded before the Dreamer did.
After the two booked the car, they came out of the Dream Maker Building.
"Mr. Foster, don't be in a hurry to go back to Aryadelle. I'll contact their management later, and if the other party is willing to meet with us, I'll notify you immediately." The person in charge said excitedly, "I believe that the boss of the Dream Maker is not a fool, I'll talk to you. Cooperation is a win-win situation!"
Elliot didn't answer.
……
Aryadelle.
Layla has a day off today, so Avery got up early to get Layla by her side.
"When will Dad and Robert come back? Look at this, I plan to give it to Robert." Layla took out a small hand-held electric fan from her backpack.
Avery couldn't help laughing: "This is your gift for Robert?"
"Yes! My brother will definitely like it. He has never seen it before, so he must be surprised!" Layla put the small electric fan back in her bag, "This is the crew. A sister gave it to me. I'm on the set every day, and I don't have time to go shopping, so I can only give him this as a gift."
Avery: "Your brother will definitely like your gift."
Layla: "Mom, when will they be back? Will Robert come back?"
Avery: "Mom doesn't know when they will come back. You can call your father and ask."
Avery only knew through Hayden that they met once. She didn't ask more, since Hayden didn't say more, it means that the meeting was not pleasant.
"Forget it! I don't care so much about them! When my work is over, I will go to Bridgedale to find my brother." Layla looked at her mother, "Mom, you can come with me when the time comes."
Avery said, "Layla, When your work is over, your birthday is coming soon. Did your father say that he would give you a birthday party?"
"No!" Layla whispered, "I don't want to have a birthday party. Let's celebrate your birthday together."
"Then celebrate at home. What gift do you want? Mom will buy it for you." Avery said dotingly.
Layla had almost everything, so she thought distressedly.
At this moment, Avery's cell phone rang.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1838
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1838
She took out her mobile phone from her bag and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a while, she still answered it.
"Hello, Miss Tate, I'm the person in charge of Jiade Auction. I just checked the information and found that you came to our auction site yesterday and wanted to auction a piece of children's jewelry. However, for some reasons, this children's jewelry was not sold during the auction process. I want to explain the reason to you."
After all, Avery is Elliot's ex-wife, and the person in charge of the auction house does not want to offend.
"I know the reason." Avery said, "Norah Jones wanted that set of jewelry, but she didn't dare to bid with me, so she asked Elliot to come forward and won the set of jewelry."
The person in charge was embarrassed after hearing what Avery said: "Indeed That's right. My boss knows Mr. Foster. Besides, Mr. Foster personally called my boss, and my boss would definitely save face. However, does it mean that Mr. Foster doesn't know that you also want that set of jewelry?"
Avery said, "I don't want it anymore…You don't have to tell him about it."
The person in charge: "Okay. I'm calling you mainly to apologize. I'm really sorry."
Avery: "It's okay, I don't blame you."
After talking on the phone, Avery met her daughter's inquiring eyes.
Layla: "Mom, what kind of jewelry?"
Avery told her daughter what happened yesterday.
After listening, Layla blew the bangs on her forehead angrily.
Layla: "Dad is such an idiot. He actually helped other women to bully you. I really want to call and scold him."
"He didn't know that I went to the auction site too. He didn't know that I wanted that set of jewelry too." Avery had already quarreled with Elliot and didn't want to be angry anymore about it.
"Mom, let's just forget about it! I'm going to take back that set of jewelry." Layla wasn't mad at her, but she couldn't be mad at her father. "What does the jewelry you want look like? Do you have any pictures?"
Avery turned on the phone and found the photo: "Layla, your mom wants to buy this set of jewelry for your birthday."
"If that's the case, then I'll be even more angry." Layla brought her mother's phone over, glanced at the jewelry in the picture, "This set of jewelry is so beautiful! This should have been mine, a$$hole dad!"
"Layla, mom can buy you more beautiful jewelry." Avery comforted her daughter, "If you tell your father, your father will only make it difficult. You can't let him go to Norah Jones to come. Norah Jones is not only your father's subordinate, but they are also partners."
Layla snorted: "I don't care what their relationship is. What! You are the most important thing in my heart! I don't want to be wronged! I can't let you be wronged like this!"
Avery: "Layla, I had a fight with your dad yesterday. I don't want to fight with him anymore."
Layla looked at her mother's cold face. She didn't want to make her angry, so she had to give up.
…….
Bridgedale.
After Elliot took Robert to play for a day, Norah Jones flew over from Aryadelle.
In the evening, Norah Jones went to the hotel to find Elliot and had dinner with the father and son.
"Elliot, I have done research on the company of Dream Makers. Their boss is from Rishawaka. This person is very mysterious. I don't know if he is a man or a woman…" Norah Jones explained what she knew and told Elliot about the situation.
"Have you asked someone inside their company?" Elliot believes that the company's top management must know the boss's information.
"Yes, I found it." Norah Jones said, "I have a senior brother in there. Once I asked him to come out for a drink. When he was drunk, I asked about the situation of their company, and he said that there was no one in their company. I've seen the boss."
Elliot frowned: "Who recruited the management of the company?"
"There are three people in charge of their company. These three people are in charge of different departments. They are all small shareholders of the company. It is said that these three people have never met the boss. I don't know the specific situation. The big boss of our company must have a difficult journey." Norah Jones said this and looked at Robert, "Robert, you are listening so seriously, do you understand what we are talking about?"
Robert shook his head cutely.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1839
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1839
"Robert, are you sleepy?" Seeing his son's expression, Elliot didn't seem to be in a good mood. "If you are sleepy, Dad will ask the bodyguard to take you back to rest first."
Robert is not sleepy, but he doesn't want to continue listening. They chatted, so he reached out and felt in Dad's pocket.
Elliot knew what Robert was looking for. So Elliot took out his phone and handed it to Robert.
After Robert got his father's mobile phone, he obediently went back to the room with the bodyguard.
Norah Jones smiled and said, "He's so young, it's not good for him to play with the cell phone?"
"He called his sister." Elliot replied.
After the bodyguard brought Robert back to the room, Robert skillfully turned on his father's mobile phone, found his sister's number, and dialed it.
Layla answered the phone quickly.
"Sister! Sister, what are you doing?" Robert's voice came clear.
When Layla heard her brother's voice, she immediately responded: "Why don't you make a video call? Did you call your sister yourself?"
"Yeah!" Robert replied obediently, "Dad is outside…I'm having dinner with Aunt Norah…I miss you, so I'll be back first."
"Dad is having dinner with Aunt Norah Jones?" Layla's tone rose a few times.
Layla just found out that Norah Jones stole the jewelry that her mother wanted to buy for her, so she is full of anger at Norah Jones now.
"Well…I don't understand what the two of them said." Robert was very aggrieved, "I want to go home, but Dad won't."
Layla heard this and complained to her mother angrily: "Mom! Dad is dating Norah Jones now! He doesn't care about my younger brother! My younger brother wants to go home, and he refuses to bring my younger brother back in order to date Norah Jones over there! I want to go and bring my younger brother back!"
Avery listened her daughter speaks, immediately reach out and ask her to give her the phone to herself.
Layla handed the phone to her mother.
Avery picked up her daughter's mobile phone and put it in her ear.
The voice of the Foster family's bodyguard came: "Layla, it's not what you think! Your father didn't date Norah Jones! The two of them are talking about business! Originally, your father was going to bring Robert back to Aryadelle tomorrow, but there was a temporary business, so he delayed. You have to trust your father."
Avery listened to the bodyguard's explanation and asked, "How is Robert now?"
"Miss Tate?" The bodyguard suddenly stuttered when he heard Avery's voice, " Robert is, by my side…looking at me!"
"Oh…are you sure Robert is not wronged?"
"I'm sure! Otherwise, why would my boss give Robert the phone? Go back to the room." The bodyguard was afraid that Avery would misunderstand Elliot, so he couldn't help but talk, "Miss Tate, you have been living in Bridgedale before, you should know about the Dream Makers company, right? Norah Jones is telling the boss about the Dream Makers company. It's really not a date. They plan to meet the people from the Dreamer's side tomorrow to discuss cooperation!"
Avery didn't expect the bodyguard to explain so much to himself.
Avery: "Okay, I know, I will persuade Layla."
Avery returned the phone to her daughter after speaking.
Avery: "Layla, don't be angry. If your dad really wants to marry Norah Jones, he will marry her sooner or later."
"My dad told me that he wouldn't marry Norah Jones. I don't know if he is lying to me!" Layla suddenly remembered her father's previous promise to her.

"Layla, when I fell in love with your father before, he also gave me a lot of promises. But later, it became a joke." Avery didn't want to attack her daughter, but she was also afraid that her daughter would be disappointed by others' words…
"If one day I find out that what he said to me is false, I won't let him go." Layla puffed her cheeks and said angrily, "If he doesn't keep his promises, I won't let him go!"
Avery patted her daughter's head: "I don't think so much. Mom will take you to play today."
Layla: "Well."
……
Bridgedale.
Elliot and Norah Jones came to the Dream Building and talked with the executives of the Dream Maker Group about cooperation.
The two were invited to sit in the reception room, and the secretary poured water for them.
"Mr. Foster, President Jones, I didn't expect you to be so punctual. I should have informed you in advance, but after thinking about it, it is better to tell you in person." The executive smiled and informed them of the result, "Yesterday I told our boss about your ideas late, but he refused to cooperate with you."
Elliot was not surprised by this result.
But Norah Jones obviously didn't want to give up: "I want to know the reason for your boss's refusal. Is your boss really rich enough to be rich? With our investment, dreamers can do even more."
"I don't know what he thinks." The executive said, "You should have heard that our boss is quite special. His thoughts are often incomprehensible to ordinary people."
"That is your boss is very rich, and no need of financing." Norah Jones gave up completely.
"That's not true." The executive said truthfully, "Our company has been in business for more than two years, and we raised financing several times in the first year. If the boss is really not short of money, it won't be like this in the early stage. But now our company is indeed not short of money. Many investment companies took the initiative to find them, and we have many choices."
Norah: "Oh? Have you really never met your boss?"
The executive: "No. We all use his assistant, or email or phone to contact him."
When Elliot heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What's your boss's name?"
"Mr. Foster, to be honest, I don't know my boss' real name. Billy is signed on his email. We call him Billy."
The name was just a codename.
"If that's the case, then we won't bother." Elliot got up from the sofa, not wanting to waste any more time.
Last night, the bodyguard told him that Robert called Layla to complain, which made Layla very angry.
He wanted to go back to Aryadelle as soon as possible to coax his daughter.
After the executives sent them away, they returned to the office.
"The boss really rejected Elliot's investment?" The assistant asked.
The executive smiled sarcastically: "Not only that, the boss also told them to get out. How could I have the nerve to convey the boss's meaning directly? I guess the boss has a grudge against Elliot."
Assistant: "…"
A week later.
Layla finished all the filming work and was taken home by the Foster family bodyguard.
Layla did not expect that Norah Jones was also at home.
"Aunt Jones, have you moved to my house?" Layla looked at her with a wary expression.
After Norah Jones realized Layla's hostility, she quickly explained: "No, no. I came here because I heard that you were going home today. Your birthday is coming soon, and your aunt has prepared a birthday present for you."
Norah Jones Pick up a bag from the table and hand it to Layla.
Layla took the bag, took out a pink box, and opened it—
Inside the box was a necklace.
