Chapter 244
The wild ambition i n Zoe’s eyes was clear a ndundisgui sed.
Cole felt his dying soul reawaken.
Now that he was on the same boat as Zoe, her success meant his own success.
Women could gain honor through their children, so could he.
He would gain honor from his child!
At 10p.
m.that night, a black Rolls Roice pulled into the Foster mansion.. Elliot had attended a dinner event that night.
He had gone to the dinner because one of the country’s top entrepreneurs in the drone sector was in attendance.
Elliot wanted to understand every aspect of Avery’s company.
From the information he gathered at the dinner, he found out that Tate Industries may have rebuilt, but their sales had hita wall in the country.
Alpha Techno logies was formidab leabroad.
Their buzz and reputation were outstanding.
However, Avery did not use Alpha Technologies ‘brand in Aryadelle, but that of Tate Industries instead.
Although it was the same product, a different brand also meant a different worth.
Avery did not market or advertise their products, which ledto the lack of sales.
According to the topentrepreneur, if Avery could not make it through the next six months in Aryadelle, she would move back to Bridgedale empty handed.
The next day, Avery showed up at the Pacific Hotel by herself for a business meeting.
The other party, Norman Puth, was the president of one of the country’s largest drone distributors.
Avery met Norman at the restaurant, then took a seat at their table.
“Did you come alone, Miss Tate?”
asked Norman.
He was a chubby, middle aged man.
Behind his glasses, were a pair of sharp eyes.
“Yes, everyone’s been rather busy recently,” Avery said with a polite smile.
She pulled out a file from her bag, the n said, “Mr. Puth, here is some detailed info rmation on our company’s products.
Please take a look.”
“Ha, I’ve seen it.
That’s precisely why I asked to meet with you, Miss Tate,” said Norman His eyes shifted from Avery’s face to her chest, then down to her slender waist.
“Iknow your products are impressi ve, Miss Tate. Howev er, the market isn’t the same here as it is abroad.”
“If you make me an authorized distributor for your products, I can guarantee that you’ll take over the domestic market in no time,” Norman said as he suddenly tipped his leg in Avery’s direction, then added, “Could you consider lowering the price for me?”
Avery pulled her legs back, and her tone was cold as she said, “I’m sorry, the price we proposed to you is the best we can do.
I’m afraid we can’t go any lower than that.”
“That’s too insincere of you, Miss Tate,” Norman said regretfully.
“How are we supposed to do business without sincerity?”
Avery’s eyes narrowed as her lips curled up into a smile.
“What constitutes sincerity to you, Mr.
Puth?”
Seeing Avery’s provocative smile, Norman shot to his feet and walked over to her side.
“You’re young and beautiful, Miss Tate.
More importantly, you’re capable.
I’m sure there are plenty of menwho are after you, right?
” he said as his sleazy hand fell on to Avery’s shoulder.
Avery’s hand tightened around her teacup.
She silently counted down in her heart.
“Three, two…” A gust of wind pierced through the room and Norman was thrown to the ground with a violent punch!
Avery’s head shot up and metwith Elliot’s menacing face.
“Avery! I never expected you to stoop so low!”
Elliot snapped as he yanked her from her seat.”
Didn’t you say you didn’t like oldmen?! What are you doing right now?! Why do n’t you resist when fatb strds like this laytheir hands on you?! I s money more important than your dignity?!” Avery’s head was spinning from his relentless chastising.
If Elliot had not punched Norman to the ground, she would have thrown her drink right at his face.
“Can’t you lower your voice, Elliot?”
Avery blushed with embarrassment as she noticed that all eyes were on them.
Elliot may be shameless, but she was not.
She picked up her bagfrom her seat and planned to leave, but Elliot jerked her back into he seat.
“Are you willing to do anything for money?!”he roared through reddened, tear filled ey Avery was repressing the frustration she felt for him, but his words sether off!
