Mrs. Scarlet hesitated for a while before turning around to get the key.
If Elliot and Avery were not about to get married, she would never dare to get the key for Avery.
Even though Elliot respected Mrs. Scarlet a lot, he did not treat her as a servant, but Mrs. Scarlet would not dare to do such a thing that crossed the line.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Mrs. Scarlet made a mistake that crossed Elliot's bottom line, Elliot would surely fire her.
Mrs. Scarlet would only dare to take such a risk to give Avery the spare key because she was sure that Avery was the future mistress of the house.
After Mrs. Scarlet passed Avery the key, she sized her up. "Avery, go take a shower. Don't catch a cold. I'll go get you sclothes." Avery held the key tightly in her hands. She glanced upstairs. She did not know what Elliot was doing at that moment. She did not know if she were to enter his room without permission, whether he would chase her out.
At the smoment, in a different place, Henry and Cole were still staying in their rented property after the unit they wanted to buy was taken away by Nathan.
For the past few days, Cole went to look for houses around, but they were all not to his satisfaction.
Henry had no desire to look at houses. He only wanted to know who Nathan's son was, the one Nathan boasted about.
This matter was like a thorn in his heart. He was losing sleep over this.
He printed out photos of the wealthy people that were younger than Nathan. He kept looking through over and over again.

"Dad, have you gone mad?" Cole reprimanded, "Do you think we can get rich just by looking at these photos?" Henry looked up and glared at his son. "I'm looking for Nathan's son! Other people's sons are so successful, why is my son such a loser? Rather than standing in my way, why don't you f*ck off back to your room to think this through!" Cole said, "How dare you scold me?!" "I am scolding you! You piece of trash who always loses out on whatever you invest in! " Henry reprim Cole was provoked by those words, his eyes reddened.
He did indeed always lose on whatever he invested in, but he did not want this to happen either. However, he was bad at investing.
"Dad, do you really think that | will lose all the money?" Cole was deeply hurt by that.
"If it was like the past, if you don’t deal with the company's affairs, you won't lose out, but once you do, the company will surely die!" Henry continued saying, "I can't blyou too, | didn't teach you well." Painful tears fell from the corner of Cole's eyes.
"Don't cry! It does nothing good!" Henry put his attention back on the photos. "Cand helphave a look. How did that bastard Nathan have such a great son?" Cole took the photos over and said sourly," Maybe he is just lying to us. If he really has such a great son, why has he only returned to the country just recently?" "My instincts are tellingthat he isn’t lying. If not, where has he got the money to pay for the house in full? If not, how dare he be so arrogant in front of me? When | beat him up in the past, he wouldn't even dare to move." Henry rubbed his temples.
Cole looked through the photos again and said confusedly, "Why isn't Elliot among all these wealthy people?” "Elliot?!" Henry's temples throbbed. "How could he be Nathan's son?"
