Chapter 276
“Elliot pulled him away.”
Mike pointed her in the direction the men had gone.
Avery turned to see Elliot and Wesley at a table by them selves with the bodyguards standing next to them.
There was a bottle on the table, and it appeared that the y intended on drinking.
Avery scowled.
Wesley did not drink very often and his alcohol to lerance was not at all great.
“Two amateurs! Let’s see who goes down first,” Mike teased.
Avery suddenly remembered that Elliot could not drink as well.
“Avery, it’s a contest between the two men.
Just letthem drink!”
said Mike, tapping her on her shoulder.
She looked up and shoved his handsome face away.
“This is all your fault!”
“I will never get fooled by Chad again!
Next time I will ask him to join usinstead!”
Mike swore.
“There won’t be a next time!”
Avery walked toward Tammy.
Tammy raised her middle finger at Mike.
It had been a whiles in ce Avery had been in contact with Elliot or seen him, and because of Mike, they had mettonight.
Seeing him only added to her headache and reluctance to cutall ties with him.
“Avery, congratulations on getting that money.”
Tammy took a glass of juice and passed it to Avery.
“Doesn’t matter if you can actually get it back or not, at least you have fulfilled you rdad’s wishes.”
Avery nodded.
“Yeah, I intend on going to the cemetery to visit my dadtomorrow.”
“Sure!
You should take the two kids with you… If you rdad was still alive, he would have been overjoyed.”
Avery considered it for a moment and nodded.
Just then, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller identification an d went to the side to pick up the call.
The two met at a café near the hotel.
Wanda scanned Avery from head to toe.
Avery still looked the same, but he r demeanor had changed drastically.
Her eyes were cold and distant.
She felt unapproachable.
“Aver y, I did not make my brother steal that money,” Wanda had taken the i nitiative and broke the silence.
“How could I possibly want the Tate Family to fall after all those years I’ve spent with your father?”
“Myfather is dead.
What’s the point of playing the victim?”
Avery exposed her hypoc risy right away.
“Idon’t have much time to waste here with you, get to the point.”
“Let’s settle this in private!”
Wanda scowled, “Iwill find a wayto return the mone y he stole from you!
Had he not done what he did, both Cassandra and I would have a share of that three hundred million dollars.
Now you can have it all, are you satisfied?!” Wanda so unded as though she had granted Avery a generous gift.
Avery smirked.
“Wanda, is your brother only worth three hundred milli on to you?
I suppose some of your companies overseas must be doing quite well.
There isn’t achance that we can settle the matter in private, unless, you can give me fifty billion, at the very least.”
“Fifty billion!”
Wanda gasped and thought to herself, “You might as well just kill me!”
With a vicious express ion, she clenched her fists.
“Avery Tate!
You are being toogreedy!”
“Looks like this negotiation i safailure.
We’ll just go with the law!”
drawled Avery and got up from her chair.
A fire was ignited within Wanda when she saw that Avery was leaving. She stood up as well and growled, “Wait!
Fifty billion isn’t a small amount!
Letme think about it!”
