Chapter 274
It simply filled Avery’s heart with joyto hear Wanda’s frustrated screams.
“And how are you going to do that?”
she teased sarcastically. “You are either behind your brother’s crime, or you condoned it at the very least. After all, you spent quite a lot of the money your brother stole from us!
How dare you call me?”
“You got my daughter Cassandra killed!
I have n’t even made you pay for that!”
“Oh… Who else died in your family?
Why don’t you just blame it all on me as well?” mocked Avery. “Do you think that I’m still the girl that you can bully?
Wanda, you’ve lost your last chance when you failed to kill me five years ago!”
Avery’s voice was cold and vicious. She sounded completely different from how she did five years ago.
Wanda furiously hung up.
She did not intend on letting it slide and booked a ticket back to Aryadelle immediately.
The headlines for the afternoon news read: (Tate Industries to obtain an extra three hundred million dollar boost?
Mr.
Worsley, the previous finance director, had been arrested this morning at the airport after five years on the run!
) When Mike saw the news, he stormed in to Avery’s office.
“How can you not tell me about something this huge?”
he said in exci tement.
“Our company is getting three hundred million!”
Avery picked up the glass of water to take a sip.
“You should believe ever ything you see on the news. Do you thin khewould come back if he had n’t spent all the money he stole?”
“Avery, you lost three hundred million, and you are here drinking tea?”
“My dad lost three hundred million, not me.”
She corrected him.
“People always need to pay for the mistakes they made, and that was the price my dadpaid for marrying Wanda.”
“Let’s go celebr atetonight?”
Mike proposed.
“Sure!”
Avery’s lips curled i ntoa smile.
“You orga nize it.”
“Okay!” Mike picked up a stra ndof her hair and asked shyly, “Can I invite Chad?”
LE The smile froze on Aver y’s face.
“You two…”
Could the two of them be in a relatio nship?
“We made peace and are now on good terms!”
Mike confessed.
“I will only invite Chad, no tyour ex, okay?”
“What do you mean you are on good terms?”
Avery could not help but im agine what Mike could mean.
“Did you two.”
“Avery, do you prefer that Chad and I fight every time we see each other?” he interrupted her and said, “Get your mind out of the gutter, okay?”
“Oh, invite him then!”
Avery studied Mike’s flushed face and instinctively felt that things were not as innocent as Mike claimed.
Regardless, she did not in tend to stop the two from developing a relationship.
Wesley agreed and asked, “Are you free this after noon?
Can you make a trip to the hospital?”
After lunch, Avery drove to Elizabeth Hospital, and Wesley went to pick her up a t the entrance, before taking her to the ward.
“Avery, I have good news.
Eric is getting better” Wesley said.
“Ase xpected of Professor Hough’s best student!”
Avery beamed at him.
“Ishe awake?”
Eric Santos was the first patient she had treated since her return.
“Yeah!
He regained consciousness,” Wesley said.
“All the famous doctors in this country had pretty much announced that Eric was pretty much dead back then.
Who knew that you would save him?”
“Hehas just regained consciousness.
It’s far from a full recovery,” Avery said modestly.
“I believe in you.
You will definitely help him back on his feet!”
Avery wanted to help Eric back on his feet as well.
