Gary happened to be at home.
When his subordinates cto report Avery's bodyguard's arrival, Gary was intrigued and allowed his entry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvery's bodyguard had not expected to get in so easily and was slightly wary; but there was no changing what was happening, so he could only hope that this would help Avery get in touch with Elliot.
After the security check, daggers and all other weapons on the bodyguard were taken away. Though he deeply regretted it, he did not let it show on his face. After serving Avery for such a long period of time, he was influenced by her character and habits.
When he arrived in the living room and saw Gary, he immediately greeted Gary politely. "Hello, Mr. Gould." "CallBoss." Gary had a strange preference over the way people addressed him.
"Hello, Boss. | am Avery Tate's bodyguard. | chere today because my employer wants to ask a favor of you," The bodyguard sat down on the couch and drawled.
"Oh? Is she still in Ylore?" Gary had thought that Ben took her away, and did not expect her to be so rebellious.
"Yes. She will be going back soon, though. She had given up after hearing that Elliot married your daughter," the bodyguard lied and said, "She wanted to see Elliot one last tbefore she heads back to give him her blessings." Gary lifted an eyebrow in disbelief, but the bodyguard didn't seem like he was lying." Are you sure she wants to give her blessing to Elliot and my daughter, instead of causing trouble?" He asked sarcastically.

She is a petite woman who's too weak to cause anything," the bodyguard teased, "Besides, Elliot has nothing left under his name, so becoming your son-in-law counts as social-climbing in sway, | guess. My employer is truly happy for him." "You have a sweet tongue! It's a shthat you are already working for Avery,” Gary laughed and said, "How about this? Go back and tell Avery that | will let her see Elliot, but she is to return to Aryadelle after this. Elliot has started a new life with my daughter ;el;UMW= | would hate to see his ex-wife interrupting them." "Okay! | will inform my employer about this when | go back. So when can they meet?" The bodyguard asked.
"Tomorrow! He's busy today." "Okay. | won't bother you, then!" The bodyguard immediately left.
He had not expected for it to go so smoothly. By the the arrived back in the hotel, Avery was staring at a black notebook and did not even notice him when he knocked.
"Miss. Tate, what are you looking at?" Avery closed the notebook. "How was it? What did you find out?" "I went directly to Gary’s mansion and negotiated with him. He said that he would arrange for you to meet Elliot tomorrow. | lied and said that you are there to give Elliot and Miss. Gould your blessings, that's why he agreed to it. Which is why you have to refrain from getting angry tomorrow when you see Elliot! Do not cause any trouble, or they will chase us out!" Avery smiled bitterly. "Should | compliment you on how smart you are?" "Indeed, I've becsmarter ever since | started working for you." He poured her a glass of warm water. "If Elliot refuses to cwith you, let's just go back to Aryadelle! Gary probably offered him quite a good deal, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to stay here.” "He is just doing it out of spite for me," Avery said in a hoarse voice, "He doesn't care about money. Why else would he just give Sterling Group away?" "Oh... The price you all pay for a good sulking is really big, isn't it? You rich folks are really hard to read." "I will explain everything to him tomorrow. If he is determined to break all ties with me, then | will respect his decision and give him my blessings," she said gloomily. After all, her current condition was yet to be determined and she didn’t know what would happen after the surgery.
The next morning, Avery received Jed's phone call and hurried to the airport to pick him up.
The two had cto know one another since grad school; after graduation, Avery returned to Aryadelle and Jed started working for the best hospital in Bridgedale. They had not crossed paths since.
