He wanted to vent his anger, but he was not sure how he was going to go about doing that.
"What have | done? | should have never let her move in here! Now it's difficult to send her away!" he thought.
Back in Starry River Villa, Avery was struggling to fall asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Elliot had fallen asleep, she unlocked her phone and sent a message to Wesley enquiring about Shea.
[She probably wouldn't last that long. She's made it long enough, though. I've traveled to many countries in the past year, looking for a compatible kidney, but I've yet to come across one.] Tears welled up in Avery's eyes as she stared at Wesley's message.
The two had struggled in silence for a long time, and they still had nothing to show for it. "Even if they continued looking, would the gods show them mercy?" thought Avery.
Avery instinctively knew that Adrian's kidney had a high possibility of being compatible with Shea's body because they were twins that shared the same blood, so this was Shea's last hope.
Henry only wanted money, and Avery was willing to pay it if it meant she could save Shea's life. Therefore, she decided to meet with Henry again the next day.
The next morning, she returned to the living room after sending Layla to the car and said to Mrs. Cooper, "I'm going out. If Elliot wakes up and asks for me, just tell him that I'm out grocery shopping." "Oh, alright." Mrs. Cooper said, before asking, "And are you really going grocery shopping?" "Yeah. My period is around the corner so | need to buy some sanitary products.” With that, she headed out, and Mrs. Cooper did not suspect anything because Avery did not bring her handbag.
Avery met with Henry and Cole in the same restaurant they had met in the last time. When the two saw the exhaustion on her face, they both became extremely smug, thinking that she had admitted defeat.
"It's good that you've come to your senses, Avery. Elliot would still have two-thirds of the shares even after he gives us one-third of it, and he is still the boss. He is rich enough, so what's so bad about sharing some of that with us? He is still a Foster right now!" Cole said arrogantly.

You know what kind of a person he is. Even if | beg him, he might not actually say yes." "Why call us out if you can't do it?" Henry asked suspiciously. "Let me be the first to tell you this: don't try anything. If you dare play us out, then you can watch as Adrain starves to death.” "You are evil!" Avery scowled ?d)?XNX< looked at Henry. "Adrian is your brother by blood, and yet, this is how you treat him. If only your mom knew about this, she would be so heartbroken." "My mother is dead! What you are saying right now means nothing to me! | only want money!" "I know that you want money. Is it enough if | give you my company?" said Avery. "My company might not make as much money as Sterling Group, but the annual profit is still rather high. It will be enough for the two of you to live the rest of your lives without having to worry about money. If you can accept this, then we can make a trade.” "Your company?" The two were stunned.
"Are you looking down on my company?" This was the best compromise Avery could make. Tate Industries was her father's life's work, and she was giving it away because she had no other choice.
She could not possibly force Elliot to give up the shares in his company; she would rather sacrifice her own property than force him to do so.
"It's not guaranteed that you can get my company.” She handed them a form. "Take Adrian to a hospital and run these tests first.
| need to make sure that his kidney is compatible with Shea." Henry took the form for a glance and said," | don't know how much your company is worth, so | need to go back and do some research.” "Take Adrian to get these tests done first!" said Avery through gritted teeth.
"Fine, we will take him for the tests as soon as possible. | will let you know once the results are out," said Cole, noticing Avery's thinning patience.
