He didn't want to ruin Avery's Alpha Technologies. He seemed to be doing it all the same. He had hired Natalie and acquiesced Natalie to setting such a huge goal. Whether Natalie could accomplish the goal, Avery must have known about it by now. The funny thing is that even if she knew about it, she didn't come to him. Ben redialed his number without thinking. The system prompt that his phone had been turned off sounded. "What are you doing?!" Ben looked at the call that was automatically hung up by the system, "I haven't said a word of what I wanted to say!" If he had known that earlier, he would not have mentioned Natalie. Ben was very tight in his chest, so he came out of the cafe. He walked to the door of the hospital and called Lilith. Avery heard that Lilith had answered Ben's call in the ward and immediately said to Lilith, "Lilith, go accompany him! I just happened to be a little sleepy and was going to sleep." Lilith knew she was lying. Sh

Avery stilled."Well, that might not be the case. She will recover if the surgery is a success. Men are born to be unfaithful and cruel, especially men who are wealthy," the other person said. "It might not be that bad that Avery divorced him! Maybe true happiness awaits her ahead."Avery turned her heels and headed back to the ward."Doctor, can she go home to rest?" Mike asked."Yes, but you will have to be careful. She can't be moving around independently. She probably can't see all that well right now, so you will need to hire a nurse to look after her," the doctor reminded him. "Remember to get in touch with me the moment she shows any signs of discomfort.""Okay.""Also, we placed three stitches inside her eyes so remember to come back in three months to have them removed.""Okay. Anything else we need to pay attention to?""Keep her eyes clean, make sure her mood remains stable, and no crying," the doctor said. "Bear with it for a while and everything will be much easier

"Ms. Jennings, you mean to say that she is plotting in the dark?""Haha, whatever she plots to do will not interfere with my plan," Natalie said. "Sooner or later, I will have Alpha Technologies beneath my feet. Starting a branch in Bridgedale is only the beginning of this game!""Of course! With Mr. Foster's support and your ambition, Alpha Technologies will soon be defeated.""Yeah! Mr. Foster appreciates you so much that he has put you in charge of all matters concerning Tate Industries. He trusts you!" another man said in a flattering manner. "Everyone in the office is guessing that he is pursuing you!"Natalie chuckled smugly. "He does place a lot of trust in me, but I'm in no rush with regard to romance. We can wait until I accomplish my goal. I promised him I would." Avery stood in the distance and heard every single word they said.Natalie had come to Bidgedale with her team with the sole intention of destroying Alpha Technologies. On top of that, Elliot had handed the m

Avery froze.Her ex-husband had been here looking for her? Was it Elliot?Mike pushed open the door to the mansion and helped Avery inside. He called Chad. "Why didn't you tell me that your boss was coming to Bridgedale?"Mike suspected that there was an ulterior motive for Elliot's visit.Shocked, Chad blurted out, "My boss is in Bridgedale?! I didn't know that! He just said that he needed a few days off. He didn't say anything about going to Bridgedale!""Crap! What's that old b*st*rd planning on doing now?!""If he hasn't told anyone about this, it means that this is a personal trip. With that said, he can't have any plans apart from seeing Avery, right?""He showed up at our door. It's a good thing that we were staying in a resort and haven't been home for some time.""Damn, you have been at a resort? Why didn't you tell me?" Chad was shocked."What if you told your boss about it?""Do you really have that little faith in me?" Furious, Chad said, "If that's the case, don'

Mike was shocked by the question."What makes him think he has the right to ask about this? Avery's eyes are finally close to being fully recovered and now he wants to come and pretend like he cares about her? Doesn't he have any shame at all?! Has he heard from someone that Avery's eyes are almost fully recovered and has come here because of that? He must have known that Avery came close to being blind and maybe that's why he dares to treat her with such cruelty, thinking that she won't be able to see again?"All sorts of thoughts swirled in Mike's mind."Do you care about her? How laughable," he said sarcastically. "If you really care about her, you should hand over custody of Layla and Robert! Give Tate Industries back to her! You can call me again if you manage to do all that!"Elliot was enraged by the unreasonable request. "I didn't think you would be so unreasonable.""Who are you calling unreasonable? Did I beg you to call me? Did I ask you to come to Avery's house?" snarl
