Chapter 1713
Back in the office, Chad sighed heavily. In just half a month, Elliot had transformed into a completely different person. He was not like this before he went to Bridgedale. When Chad was worrying about his future, his office door was pushed open, and Ben walked in with a bag. "Look what goodies I brought you!" Ben took the bag to Chad's table. "My mother gave them to me as supplement. Take these and try them!" After Chad thanked Ben for his kindness, he accepted the gift. "Ben, have you noticed that our boss changed?" Chad closed the office door. "Can't a man feel under the weather after a divorced?" Ben understood Elliot's mood better. Chad walked in front of Ben and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Ben, the boss wants Tate Industries to surpass Alpha Technologies. Don't you think that's unusual? Although he can make more money by doing so, Avery will be pissed off." "Chad, did you meet Avery at Bridgedale? Did she tell you something? I think y

"Even if her eyes can recover, she's basically disabled now." Chad still didn't understand what Elliot was doing, "Is the boss's heart made of stone?" "Chad, calm down." Ben pushed him into the chair and sat down, "Since Elliot knows about this, it means that he and Avery must have talked about this in private. As for the outcome of their negotiation, incredulous as it is, we can't change that." Chad calmed down a little after listening to Ben's words. "I almost asked him why he did this to Avery just now." Chad sighed, "Fortunately, I held back; otherwise, I would have already been fired." "He wallows in the anger of his divorce now, and he is particularly irrational about matters related to Avery." Ben said, "Wait until he calms down." "I'm furious now. I just hope Avery's eyes recover." Chad quickly calmed down, "Ben, have any other old employees of Tate Industries other than Vice President Locklyn been dismissed?" Ben shook his head: "What were you thinking? Vice
Chapter 1715
If her father hadn't called Uncle Eric, she wouldn't have to come back hungry. After Eric sent Layla home, he left without greeting Elliot. Mrs. Cooper had poured a glass of water and was going to give it to Eric, but Eric's car had already driven away. Elliot took the water cup from Mrs. Cooper's hand and drank it all at once. "Layla, you didn't discuss your withdrawal from the summer camp with your father, did you?" Mrs. Cooper took Layla and washed her hands, "You can't do that next time." Layla didn't want to talk about it. After washing her hands, an idea came to her. "Mrs. Cooper, have you listened to Uncle Eric's new song?" Mrs. Cooper shook her head: "I don't listen to music very much." "Uncle Eric's new song is super nice! I'll show it to you!" Layla turned on her phone and played Eric's new song "Blind" with her speakers.After hitting the play button, she turned the volume to the max. In an instant, the melody spread throughout the first floor.

Elliot looked at the smile on his daughter's face and felt like a knife had been stabbed in his heart. The daughter knew this song was written for him, and she took the initiative to play it to him. She was really a good daughter! "Layla, what's your plan after leaving summer camp?" Elliot changed the subject. Layla said, "I'm going to go have fun with Uncle Eric. He said he could take me to his next event!" "There's nothing to brag about if you follow him to his events. If you want to be a big star in the future, Dad hopes you will rely on yourself, not his popularity." Elliot taught his daughter a lesson. Layla was not happy being preached to. "I'm just going to have fun with Uncle Eric; I'm not doing anything wrong." Seeing Elliot frowning, she noticed her father didn't want her to be with Eric, so she pouted. "When my mother still lived here, I could play with Uncle Eric yearly during the long vacations!" Layla said, her eyes reddening. Suddenly, there wa

In Bridgedale, she returned to her residence after Lilith finished her day's work. She took off her high heels, put on slippers, and tied up her long hair as she walked toward the bathroom. She attended a car event today and had put on heavy makeup on her face. She didn't know that she was allergic to makeup, and her face felt slightly itchy. After removing her makeup, she noticed her face was red. She put on a mask and walked to the sofa to sit down. She picked up the phone, turned it on, and saw the message from Ben: [Call me after you get off work, I have something to ask you.] She lazily dialed his number, and he answered in seconds. "You got off work so early today?" Ben's voice came. "I'm a human! I got up at six o'clock this morning. If I don't get off work earlier, I'll be exhausted" Lilith cut to the chase, "What do you want to ask me?" "Why didn't you tell me about Avery's blindness? If it wasn't for Chad going to Bridgedale this time, I probably
Chapter 1718
Mike told Lilith that Elliot planned to use Tate Industries to compete with Avery's Alpha Technologies in Bridgedale. Lilith was so angry that she almost had a heart attack. She turned her anger on Ben because she was so angry and couldn't do anything to Elliot. Ben and Elliot were partners in crime. She hung up Mike's call and put Ben on her blacklist. Mike finished talking on the phone, and his mouth was dry, so he went to find some water. In the master bedroom, Avery didn't manage to fall asleep. She had to lie down for a long night to fall asleep. It was easier to fall asleep during the day, but bits and pieces of the past always came to her mind at night. She could control her emotions now, but she still couldn't help crying when she thought of the sad parts. She heard what Mike said in the living room just now. Her hearing had improved dramatically since she lost her sight. She heard Mike say that Elliot planned to use Tate Industries to compet

She should be able to find corneas in at least some parts of the world. She dialed Ben's number. After Ben picked up the call, he complained, "Didn't you put me on your blacklist? Why did you pull me out again?" "I was so angry last night! I shouldn't blame you, but you and my brother have a close relationship. You two do everything together." "He and I are business partners; it doesn't mean we both have the same attitude towards relationships." Ben retorted, "He is a little weird to Avery this time; I think he suspects that this was done by Mike. You know that Mike and Avery have a closer relationship than me and Elliot." "My God! Do you mean Elliot suspects that Ruby was killed by Avery?" Lilith's jaw dropped in shock. "I don't know exactly what he was thinking. He is in a dark mood and has no desire to talk at all. Even if I ask him, he won't say anything. I just made this guess based on his attitude towards Avery." Ben had thought a lot after learning about Avery's b

In fact, operation failure was risky whether an artificial or a natural cornea was used. The risk of failure using artificial ones was more significant than in human corneas because they have only been developed in the past two years. The price was also higher. The doctor suggested she use human corneas, but she refused. "Avery, listen to the doctor. The doctor recommended the natural one." Mike advised her, "Let's put other things aside first; the most important thing is for your eyes to heal." Avery replied calmly: "I could try the artificial cornea first! What if it is a success?" Seeing Avery's insistence, the doctor said, "That's also possible. If the operation using an artificial cornea fails, we can still transplant a human cornea." "That's right," Avery said. "Have a good rest today. We will perform surgery on you tomorrow." "Okay." Avery's heart beat uncontrollably. The two months of blindness had forced her to endure the hardships of being unable to
