"HAYDEN! BE CAREFUL!"
Avery ran as fast as she could toward him.
Hayden stopped as soon as he saw the speeding truck, and the sound of screeching tires was heard as the truck braked abruptly at a distance of less than half a meter away from Hayden.
Avery was so frightened that she burst into tears and ran over to hug him.
After hugging him, she wasted not a single second and carried him from the middle of the road to the sidewalk.
"Let's go home, okay?" Avery held his cold little hand tightly. "I know you've been unfairly accused because you got first place with your own efforts without having anything to do with your father." "I don't want a father like him!" Hayden frowned and shook Avery's hand away. " I'm not going to go back home!"
In Hayden's eyes, Starry River Villa was the home of his mother and Elliot. He could not ask his mother to break up with Elliot, so he did not want to go back to that house again!
"Where do you want to go if you're not going home? Tell me. I'll go with you!" Avery's eyes were wet and she held his hand tightly.
She knew that he would run away again if she let go of his hand.
Not long after, a black Rolls-Roice parked just behind Avery and Hayden.
Elliot got out of the car and walked over to them.
The alarm bells in Avery's mind began to ring when she saw Elliot’s arrival.
Hayden loathed him immensely, and it was sure to be an unpleasant endeavor if both father and son encountered each other right then.
"I did invest money in your school because I wanted it to be in line with international standards,” Elliot explained to Hayden. "I also told your teachers to take care of you, but I never asked them to give you extra marks."
Unfortunately, Elliot's explanation merely added fuel to the fire.
"You think you're so great just because you're filthy rich!" Hayden tensed up and looked at him angrily. "I don’t need you to worry about me! You're not my father! I'm not your son either!" Hayden could not accept Elliot's presence in his school life ?b#>XJV? found it humiliating that the man invested money in the school and told the teacher to take care of him!
