Shaun was sobbing on the phone, and Avery knew that she had to hurry back. Her mind went blank at the sudden turn of events. The core technology of Tate Industries had been stolen, and most pathetic of all was that they had no idea who had stolen it.With Mike and Avery both out of the country, the miscreant had taken the opportunity to steal the technology.The company's core technology was stored in a microchip behind layers of encryption. Hence, although the chip had been stolen, there was a high chance that the thief had yet to decode it. However, decoding it was an eventuality. The world was never short of incidents, just like Zoe's suicide. Another event that she had failed to predict.At seven in the morning, Hayden stepped out of his room and found the entire mansion drowning in silence. It did not sound like there was another soul in the mansion. He went over to Avery's room and noticed that the sheets were in a mess, but there was no one around."Mom!" Hayden shouted lo

Just then, the doctor came back with the documents and walked over to the bed. "Miss Tate, I have just filed your documents."Chad overheard him and tensed. "What happened, Avery? Why are you hospitalized? Which hospital are you in right now? I'll go there right away!"Unable to lie, Avery told him the truth.Once she hung up, her secretary said, "I will go make the payment, Miss Tate.""Thank you. You can go back to the office as soon as you are done with that!""I can stay here and take care of you, Miss Tate.""It's fine. Go back and tell the others I'm okay. I will call Shaun once I figure out what to do about the current situation.""Okay, Miss Tate."Twenty minutes later and Chad was at the hospital. After checking on Avery's condition, he said, "I've called Mrs. Cooper to take care of you. Rest well and don't think about anything else.""I feel better now," she said calmly."Okay. I've told the bodyguards to get you some food. Rest after you have eaten," he said."Oka

Elliot stared down at them coldly as he pursed his lips."I'm finding that traitor even if that's the last thing I do!" he thought.When Avery opened her eyes the next morning, the first thing she saw was Mike's face. "Avery, you're awake!" Mike adjusted her bed and passed her a bowl of soup. "Have some soup."She had not fully woken up yet and accepted the bowl dazedly."How are you feeling today?" Mike sat down by the bed and stared at her face. "Why didn't you tell me that something like this has happened? Why did you come back on your own? I would die of guilt if something had happened to you."Avery sobered. "You were drunk. How was I supposed to let you know?""Alright! I shouldn't have drunk with Elliot!" Mike sighed and said, "But we should really thank him this time. He helped us find the traitor."Avery blinked when she heard that. "Who was it? Who betrayed us?" she asked in a voice rough with emotion. "The technical department." Mike lowered his head because he wa

The headline of an article stood out to her. [Core Technology of Tate Industries Stolen! Where Would This Company Go Next?]There were plenty of comments below.[Tate Industries only started two years ago, right? Are they closing down already? I highly suspect that the building their office is in is haunted!][Does no one else realize how expensive Tate Industries' products are? The quality isn't bad, but they completely rule the high-end drone market. I hate it!][Hehe! So is the price for drones is going to drop now? Clap-clap!][My dad works for Tate Industries, and I don't want to see it go down! The company treats its employees with care. They have great benefits, and most importantly, the president is kind to everyone! My dream is to work there once I graduate…]Avery exited the article and clicked open her messenger to find Mike's message.[Wanda has the microchip!]Avery was not surprised by this. She had, however, not expected Wanda to act this quickly. That aftern

Avery could feel her face burning. "When have I said anything about getting back together with him?" "Just now! You told me how much he had done for you, and you said that you also wanted to get him a gift and dinner. It's so obvious that you've fallen for him," Tammy said. "Don't forget what I said. I am really accurate when it comes to reading people. That Nora girl might look tame, but she is even better at scheming than Zoe is!" Avery remained thoughtful for a few seconds and said, "But she doesn't have leverage.""She can create leverage. So long as she doesn't give up, you will always be her biggest enemy. She and Chelsea will definitely team up against you." Tammy removed her facial mask and continued, "Elliot Foster is one big chunk of meat, and everyone wants a bite. Avery, be careful!"Avery felt calmer after talking to Tammy."Not only does he have to fire Nora, but he also needs to fire Chelsea!" said Tammy. "If you are too embarrassed to tell him this, I will talk t
