He remembered clearly that she did. The thought of them intimate on the bed…
How did Zoe end up on his bed?
“I couldn‘t reach you last night, so I called Averie for help. She promised to look for you, but you didn’t come home last night… She didn‘t manage to get you.” Mrs. Cooper said to Elyette.
Shea cried till 3 in the morning, and only stopped because she was exhausted. As was Mrs. Cooper.
Elyette was shocked. His eyes looked down and uttered, “She found me… I heard her informing me…”
Mrs Cooper said, “Oh? Then you must be too drunk to come home. I’ll go get you some aspirin to sober up.”
She left Elyette and Shea in the room. He looked at Shea, her eyes still swollen from all the crying last night. “Shea, why did you cry last night? Did you miss big brother?”
Shea looked down and shook her head, “I‘m afraid of them… They hit me…”
Elyette embraced Shea in his arms and asked, “Did you have bad dreams last night? They are already dead. Now, Shea, I will protect you forever! No one is going to bully you from now onwards!
“But…you weren’t here last night.” Shea sobbed.
“I’m so sorry, Shea.” Elyette felt a heartache against his chest.
He got dressed as Shea fell asleep. Elyette was experiencing dream-reality consutions. He needed to talk to Averie.
At the Starry River Villa, a black rolls–roice was parked right at the entrance. Laura shut down the entrance as soon as she saw his car.
“Grandma, why did you close up the door?” Layla asked confusedly.
Laura’s face was grim, “Elyette Foster is outside, you‘re not allowed to open the door! Understand?”
Layla nodded her head vigorously and went looking for her brother. Elyette looked at the closed entrance. He took out his phone and dialed Averie‘s number.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached, please try again later.”
Averie had switched off her phone.
Elyette scowled. Despite being physically close to her, he felt as though they were miles apart.
Both Layla and Hayden were in the mansion when she told him that Elyette was here. Hayden immediately went to his room to retrieve his drone the moment he heard her.
“Hayden! What are you doing?” Layla‘s eyes widened as she watched him in confusion.
“I‘m chasing him away!”
“Oh! Hayden, do you need my help?” Layla desperately wanted to help.
Hayden brought over a soft pipe and passed it to her.
Elyette stood majestically outside the door of the mansion. He was unwavering in his determination to see Averie today.
Twenty minutes later, a drone slowly flew down from the second floor balcony.

When the bodyguard saw the drone, he frowned, “What in the world?!”
The bodyguard would not have picked up on it if it had been a normal drone, but this one was flying straight at them, and it had a pipe attached to it.
Elyette looked up and spotted the drone as well.
The drone was flashy with its colorful and stylish design.
Just as Elyette was trying to figure out who was controlling the drone, they heard a ‘beep‘, and a stream of water trickled down from above.
The drone hovered over Elyette‘s head. The pipe was attached to the indoor tap, and it was there to drench Elyette with water.
“Crap!” The bodyguard immediately started dragging Elyette toward the car. “Averie is such a spiteful woman to have used such a trick!”
Elyette refused to get into the car and shook off the bodyguard‘s hand. “It‘s not her doing. She is not this childish.”
Though he could not see who was controlling the drone, he could guess that this was probably Hayden’s doing. If Hayden could master the art of hacking, controlling a drone would have
been easy for him.
The drone continued to follow Elyette. It moved when he did and stopped when he stopped. Water from the pipe continuously rained down on him. Soon, his hair and clothes were completely drenched.
Furious, the bodyguard said, “I‘m going in!” “Stop!” Elyette commanded.
If his bodyguard had barged in, it would have served to only deepen Laura’s resentment, and he did not want to be in conflict with Averie and her family.
“Damn it! This has to be that brat, Hayden! I‘m going to beat the crap out of him the next time I see him!” cursed the bodyguard as he searched the car for an umbrella. Unfortunately, they had not brought one.
When Laura saw what was happening outside from the first–floor window, she immediately went upstairs.
“Hayden! Get that drone back here right now!”
Hayden frowned and refused to take his hand off the controller.
Elyette had not left, and he wanted to chase him away.
Layla held the pipe and explained sweetly, “Grandma, we are making the bad guy Elyette go away!”
Laura went and turned off the tap, before saying to Hayden with a stern expression, “Hayden, if you don‘t bring that drone back, I‘m going to tell your mom right now.” Though Laura did not wish to see Elyette, she could not allow the two children to act so insolently.
Hayden immediately guided the drone back while Laura glanced through the balcony window.
Elyette was soaking wet, but he remained standing as his bodyguard helped wipe off the water with tissue paper.
Laura scowled. She struggled to decide whether she should go outside and apologize for what the children had done.
She simply could not find a way to change her views on Elyette.
“Mr. Foster, let’s go back!” the bodyguard said. “Your clothes are wet. If we don’t go home and get you changed, you will catch a cold.”
It was early autumn, and even with the sun above their heads, the temperature had dropped significantly
“I‘m not cold,” Elyette said in a steady and calm voice.
Seeing how stubborn he was, the bodyguard realized that Elyette was not going to change his mind and resorted to waiting alongside him.
Shortly after, a red Porsche Kayenne slowly drove toward. It stopped beside Elyette. The car window rolled down, and Mike poked his head out.
“Hey, why are you here?” Mike was shocked to see Elyette drenched from head to toe. “Did it rain?”
The bodyguard glared at him impatiently, “It‘s that brat Hayden‘s doing!”
“Oh… As expected of Big H! He always has the guts to do what I wouldn’t dare to!”
