She checked the message over and over again to make sure that she hadn't read it wrong, before finally sighing a breath of relief at the realization that there was a way for Shea to survive.She immediately sent Cole a message. 'Adrian's kidney is a match for Shea. Let's meet again tomorrow and discuss the details about transferring the ownership of my company.''Avery, after discussing with my dad, we decided to stand our ground on our initial request.'Avery was stunned for a moment when she saw his reply and thought, 'Initial request? Their initial request was one-third of Elliot's company shares!'Her blood ran cold and her body began to shiver.They refused to accept her company and insisted on obtaining Elliot's shares.'How hateful!' She thought as she stepped outside.Mrs. Cooper spotted her on her way out and asked, "Avery, where are you going this late at night?""I am just heading out for a phone call," Avery concealed any trace of emotion from her face and explained

"I get it!" Cole hung up.Avery held onto her phone and sighed heavily, hoping that Cole and Henry would come to their senses; if Elliot got involved in this, there was no predicting how the situation would escalate.She feared that the peacefulness in the present would disappear if the situation got out of hand; it took so much effort for them to overcome the torture they had been through on the day of their wedding and it had only been barely two weeks since they finally settled down. How could the gods be so cruel to them?She didn't know how long it had been by the time Elliot came outside to look for her.He scowled when he spotted her squatting at the corner of the yard."Avery, why are you squatting? Mrs. Cooper said you came outside to call Mike, why did it take so long?" He helped her up and continued, "Did you get into an argument with Mike?"She immediately clung to him and in a hoarse voice, she said, "Elliot, I feel a bit depressed.""Because we moved?" He cupped he

He opened her contact history and Cole's name came into sight. Without a moment of hesitation, he dialed Cole's number and Cole picked up in no time."Avery, I told you that I will update you tomorrow."'Update?' Elliot's heart sank and asked, "What update?"Cole froze and thought to himself, 'Why is it Elliot's voice on the other end?! This is Avery's number, but why is Elliot the one calling?'Cole glanced at the screen of his phone to confirm that it was Avery's number, before taking a deep breath.'Why are you calling me with Avery's phone? Don't you have your own phone?" Cole panicked. "Do you need something? There's nothing left to say between us!"Elliot gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of update are you supposed to give Avery tomorrow? Spill!""Go ask Avery! I-""If you have no concern for your life, I can send my men after you right now!" Elliot could kill Cole as easily as it would be for him to squish an ant. He used to hold back under consideration that Cole w

If possible, she wished that their lives could continue to be as peaceful and wonderful as it had been. Though Elliot was a sensitive and skeptical man, he was also very easy to please and would usually forgive her as soon as she set her ego aside to apologize.When he came out of the shower, she pulled him towards the bed despite the dark expression on his face and the anger in his eyes. Once he lay down, she turned off the lights and said, "Hubby, I...""Who's more important, Adrian or me?" He interrupted her."Of course you." She held onto him tight and took his familiar scent in. "I just want to do the best that I can. Adrian is Shea's brother, after all. I promise that I won't let this affect our lives.""It already did," he said, "You said that you are upset. Do you think I can be in a good mood when you are sad?""I promise I won't let it get to me again." She leaned towards his cheek and planted a kiss on his face. "You need to attend the parents' meeting tomorrow and you

She froze.She had not expected for Cole and Henry to insist on making such a choice. What could possibly give them the courage to do so?"Why won't you listen? Why?!" Her eyes reddened and she roared as she clenched her fists."Avery, I am done with being a coward. I've been compared to Elliot ever since I started my own business and everyone thinks that I don't have the determination and talent Elliot has. I admit that I'm not as good as he is, which is why I want to take the risk this time and show my determination!""Ridiculous!" Avery mocked furiously. "You fail to show determination when you need to and want to be determined when you choose a foolish path!""Shut up!" Provoked by her mocking tone, he said, "I've made it clear, Avery! Both me and my dad have thought it through! Shea is ill because she tried to save your son, and helping her is your responsibility! Go to Elliot and get him to give us one-third of his shares with whatever excuse you can come up with! Otherwise,

He continued to message Avery. 'Ms. Brown said she sent you a message last night about having me give a speech on stage today. Why didn't you tell me? I didn't prepare anything. What am I supposed to say later?''We got into an argument, so we went to sleep early. I only noticed her message this morning.''What should I say later?''Whatever you feel like saying!''I can't think of anything.' It was the first time Elliot had attended a parents' meeting and he had no past experience to refer to; if it was a company meeting and he was asked to say whatever he felt like saying, he wouldn't be as troubled as he was at the moment.'Just give your gratitude to the teachers and thank them, then encourage the parents to work together and assist the teachers to educate their children...''Don't you think that's too corny? I hate saying things that sound rich but mean nothing in truth.''Then go brainstorm on your own! You can get started on a draft now.'Elliot replied to her with a mot

She hurried to the school.Inside the classroom, the parents' meeting carried on and Dylan's mother stood outside, accompanied by a teacher."Miss. Tate, you are finally here." Dylan's mother exclaimed in frustration. "Your husband is so scary. He didn't even bother being civilized with me in front of all those people.""My husband can be quite scary, but Ms. Brown has messaged me to explain what happened. I think you need to calm down. About my daughter hitting your son, we have discussed this before. I thought that you'd let it go, and I didn't expect you to bring it up again.""But your daughter never apologized to my son! My son's already apologized to Poppy." Dylan's mother couldn't accept it."Your son should apologize to Poppy. My daughter wouldn't have hit him had he not pulled Poppy's hair." Avery reasoned with her. "When one makes a mistake, punishment is to be expected. Your son is the one who made a mistake, not my daughter, so naturally, she doesn't have to apologize

"I've only stopped eating spicy food since we got together. You don't eat spicy food, so my preferences kind of changed as well," she complained, "Before we started dating, I was really good at stomaching spicy food.""Fine, let's get both flavors." Touched, Elliot decided to go along with it.In a rented apartment, Cole spent all morning on his phone, hoping that Avery would contact him again.He had thought that Avery was a sentimental woman and that she would definitely compromise when dealing with Shea's condition; however, Avery had not gotten in touch with him since she hung up on him early in the morning."I read her wrong!" Cole gritted out, "Has she given up on saving my aunt? What a ruthless woman she is!"Henry was making tea and felt unsettled. He had wavered the night before because accepting Tate Industries and selling it meant that they would obtain a great sum of money and avoid facing Elliot directly. The two of them could leave Aryadelle and live the rest of thei
