"There's a close friend that I used to know. She needs a nanny to take care of her grandchildren, and the pay is very high. I thought about it. A job is just a job anyway, so I went to try it out. Today is the third day of work, and everything is fine so far. I can earn a thousand and five hundred a month!""Your father is already gone, and he didn't leave you with any property. I can't drag you down," Laura added.Avery's tears fell uncontrollably once she heard it."A close friend of yours is quite rich, isn't she?" Her voice was a little hoarse, but now that she started crying, her voice became even hoarser."Being a nanny for a friend… it must be tough!""It's not tough! Now as long as I can make money, I'm satisfied. My pride isn't worth as much! Moreover, the rich will not necessarily stay rich their whole lives. Maybe I'm not as rich as my friend now, but maybe my daughter will make a lot of money in the future."Laura took a few tissues and wiped Avery's tears."Mom… you

Kill him?Avery frowned.Although she hated Elliot, she never thought of killing him.Even if the child in her belly was now gone, it was impossible for her to have this thought.Besides, could she really kill him?Seeing that Avery was hesitating, Cole said, "My uncle is on a business trip now. You go back and think about it. Avery, as long as you can kill Elliot, I can marry you right away. I will give you whatever you want. I have told my parents about us and they are very supportive."Cole's attitude was sincere and his eyes were earnest.When she was in love with him previously, she had always wanted to be recognized by his parents.However, he had been reluctant to disclose their relationship.Now, she no longer needed the approval of others."What if I fail?" Avery asked him. "If he finds out that I want to kill him, do you think he will keep me alive? Cole, you were a coward before, and now you're just the same. If you want to kill him, you do it yourself. If you can'

"It's not your baby being aborted, of course you're not impulsive!" The doctor, seeing that Avery was very emotional and that the matter was indeed somewhat serious, had to change his tone, "Miss Tate, I am so sorry. Just now, I used the wrong words. Please have a seat and drink some water first, I'll go and have a look." The doctor poured her a glass of water and then immediately went to his seniors. About half an hour later, the doctor was back. "Miss Tate, do you know Chelsea Tierney? She's the one who came to check your file." Getting the answer, Avery left the hospital. Never thought Chelsea regarded her as a pest and a thorn in the flesh! However, there was no way she was going to be beaten passively. She would definitely find a way to make Chelsea pay the price! Avery entered the president's office of Tate Industries. Her father had worked in the office before he died. The vice president had been waiting inside for a long time. "Avery, I want you to come he

"I don't know the password. My dad didn't tell me the password before he passed." Avery frowned and shook her head. She did not lie. It was true that Jack had not told her about the company before his death, let alone his last words related to the password. There were so many people in the room at that time. If Jack had said it, she could not have been the only one who knew. "Uncle Locklyn, why don't I go back and ask my mom?" Avery discussed with the vice president, "When I saw my dad for the last time, he left this world after saying a couple of words to me. My mom might know a bit more." The vice president did not doubt it. "Okay. Don't tell anyone about this. This is a top secret of our company. I'm only telling you because you're the heir appointed by President Tate." Avery glanced at the safe, and a very sober voice in her mind seemed to sound some alarm bells.They had to tell her about this secret because they could not find someone to open the safe. If they had

Laura placed her hand on Avery's shoulder and said, "You are his daughter, so he won't hurt you. I was with him when he first started his company. When we were married, I didn't ask for anything. I also invested a lot of money for his business. If he dares hurt you, I will never forgive him, even if I'm dead."…Monday.Avery took a cab to Sterling Group.That was the first time she went to Elliot's company.The Sterling Group building towered high and was majestic.She stepped out from the cab and headed towards the ground floor lobby."Miss, do you have an appointment?" asked the receptionist.Avery replied, "No. Please contact Chelsea Tierney for me. Say that Avery Tate wants to meet her. She will see me when she hears my name."The receptionist stared at Avery for a while. She noticed that she dressed well, so she called the PR Department for her.Soon, Chelsea came down.She came out from an elevator and walked towards Avery. She glanced at her with a fierce gaze."Did

On Friday afternoon, Avery received a call from Mrs. Cooper."Madam, Master Elliot will be back tonight. You should come back too!"Avery had been living at her mom's place ever since Elliot forced her to have an abortion."Alright. It's time that I end things between me and him." Avery hung up and went to Elliot's mansion.It was seven in the evening.Elliot's plane landed at the airport.He hopped into a black Rolls-Royce with the escort of his bodyguards.Once he was seated, he realized that Chelsea was in there."Elliot, how's my new hairstyle?" Chelsea wore a pink puffy dress. She tucked her hair behind her ear and seductively smiled at him.Chelsea wanted to surprise him in the car.Elliot quickly glanced at Chelsea and was no longer calm.He was tensed and his face was as cold as ice. Tension arose in the car.Chelsea noticed that. She felt anxious."What's wrong, Elliot? Don't you like my hairstyle? Or is it because this dress is ugly…?" Chelsea was nervous. Her vo

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Let's get the divorce settled on Monday!" Avery continued.Faced with her fervent impatience, Elliot nonchalantly pulled out a cigarette and lit it.Avery furrowed her brows. She could not figure out what he was thinking.Could it be that he did not want to go through with the divorce?Otherwise, he would not be so indifferent.Avery took a deep breath and said, "Can you really handle being cheated on? I wouldn't want to see the person who had cheated on me for the rest of my life if I were you. You have to divorce me! You'd be an idiot not to!"Elliot coolly exhaled a smoke ring as he followed her with his dark eyes, watching her performance. "Have you met with Chelsea? That must have p*ssed you off, right? That's good because it was all my idea! I did it just to mess with you!"Avery was adding fuel to the fire.Mrs. Cooper was in a corner. Her heart was pounding as she listened in.Why was Avery digging her own grave?Was she having a mental b

Avery met with Shaun at Tate Industries over the weekend."We need to open up the safe as soon as possible, Avery," Shaun said. "Mr. Hertz has been pestering us for a decision. I don't know if I should tell him the truth or lie to him… I'm stuck because I have nothing to show for it!"Avery nodded and said, "I wrote down some numbers on a piece of paper last night. I think my father's passcode would be a combination of these numbers."Shaun took the piece of paper out of Avery's hand, glanced at the numbers, then nodded and said, "Let's give it a try now!"They entered the secret chamber, approached the safe, and began trying out possible combinations.However, things did not go as smoothly as they had hoped.After countless failed attempts, Avery frowned and let out a heavy sigh."Would Wanda know what the code is?" she said. "The code to our front door is a combination of my dad and Wanda's birthdays. He was good to her before he got sick."Shaun shook his head and said, "If
