She sat on the bed with unconcealable joy on her face. Five years ago, her stepmother and Wanda's younger brother, James, stole three hundred million from Tate Industries. After spending most of that fortune, greed had taken over him, and he had planned on making another fortune from Tate Industries. Only this time, he would not be met with three hundred million dollars, just the cold hard hand of the law. A moment ago, Officer Boyd, the police officer who was responsible for the case, had contacted Avery and informed her that James had already boarded the flight back to the country. There was a team of officers at the airport, ready to ambush him. As soon as James landed, he would be arrested. This was something that Avery had spent years waiting for, and even after hanging up, she could not seem to calm herself down. She wanted to share the good news with her friends, but it was three in the morning, and she could not bring herself to wake them.She got out of bed and steppe

It simply filled Avery's heart with joy to 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 haven'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 fi

"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 themselves with the bodyguards standing next to them. There was a bottle on the table, and it appeared that they intended on drinking. Avery scowled. Wesley did not drink very often and his alcohol tolerance 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 let them 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 us instead!" Mike swore. "There won't be a next time!" Avery walked toward Tammy. Tammy raised her middle finger at Mike. It had been a while since Avery had been in contact with Elliot or seen him, and because of Mike, they had met tonight.

She could feel his breath brushing against her cheeks, and it smelt like alcohol. She believed that he was drunk, otherwise, he would not have wrapped his arms around her in front of all his employees. "You shouldn't drink so much if you can't handle it." Avery tried to get up from his lap, but he tightened his arms around her waist and refused to let go. "Avery, let's drink." He picked up the bottle and poured alcohol into the glasses. "Were you drunk last night because James was arrested?"His arms loosened slightly, and she immediately got up from his lap. She turned to look in Wesley's direction, but he was nowhere to be found. "Elliot! Where is Wesley?" She stared at Elliot's flushed face and felt that he was getting more and more sly. His subordinates must have taken Wesley away when Elliot was holding her. "Given how drunk he got, of course, they escorted him to a place so he might rest," Elliot drawled and handed her a glass. "Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to Mr

She had never truly considered settling the matter in private. She had simply said that to give Wanda hope so that she could take it away a day later. Avery wanted her to taste what it was like to suffer. "Very well! Avery, very well!" Wanda was so angry that her lips trembled. "I didn't want to pay seven hundred and fifty million, to begin with! It's not like my money comes easy!""Well, let's hope that your brother won't haunt you when he dies," Avery said sarcastically. "I wonder how you two split the three hundred million you stole from us."Wanda could feel her blood raging in her. "Avery Tate… Just you wait… I won't let you off easy… My brother and my daughter… I will take revenge for them!""Oh, you want to send someone to assassinate me? Aryadelle's surveillance network and the police force's investigation skills have long surpassed the levels of what they were five years ago. I would recommend thinking it through. Think of whether you can handle the consequences of harm
