    "I''ve only stopped eating spicy food since we got together. You don''t eat spicy food, so my preferences


    kind of changed as well," sheined, "Before we started dating, I was really good at stomaching

    spicy food."


    "Fine, let''s get both vors.” Touched, Elliot decided to go along with it.


    In a rented apartment, Cole spent all morning on his phone, hoping that Avery would contact him again.


    He had thought that Avery was a sentimental woman and that she would definitelypromise when


    dealing with Shea''s condition; however, Avery had not gotten in touch with him since she hung up on


    him early in the morning.


    "I read her wrong!" Cole gritted out, "Has she given up on saving my aunt? What a ruthless woman she


    is!"


    Henry was making tea and felt unsettled. He had wavered the night before because epting Tate


    Industries and selling it meant that they would obtain a great sum of money and avoid facing Elliot


    directly. The two of them could leave Aryadelle and live the rest of their lives in peace in a different


    country with the money, but Cole persisted. He rejected Henry''s thoughts and insisted on getting the


    shares of Elliot''spany.


    Henry couldn''t convince him otherwise and could only let him do as he pleased; in the end, they


    became stuck in a situation where they had nothing at all.


    "The fact that Avery could be in a marriage with Elliot means that she is quite a formidable woman


    herself. Elliot values profit above all and Avery should think the same," Henry analyzed, "Avery was


    willing to trade herpany and that was the bottom line for her. Stop dreaming about getting your


    hands on Elliot''s shares!"


    Cole gritted his teeth.


    "They would rather sacrifice Shea than trade his shares with Adrian''s kidney." Henry took a sip of tea


    as his heart sank. " You should just focus on thinking about how we are going to make ends meet from


    now on! Not only will you need to take care of me, but you also need to keep your uncle fed."


    "Dad, I just can''t give it up. If we miss this chance, we will never have another opportunity to turn the


    tables!" Cole set his phone down =c(:YJP< deadpanned.


    "You are the one who refused Avery''spany. I asked around and herpany could be sold for at


    least 465 million!" Henry red at his son. "I heard that from someone after you turned Avery down this


    morning. Had I known it was worth this much money, I shouldn''t have let you do whatever you wanted!"


    "Then go ask her for it now!" Cole flushed furiously.


    "You go!"


    "No way! You go if you want it so much! I can''t stand to embarrass myself like that!" Cole refused.


    "You coward! If you don''t want to embarrass yourself, do you think I would?"


    "Then let it go!" Cole clenched his fists. " Truth is, we can go a bit further! I will only be responsible for


    you, not my uncle! So..."


    Henry widened his eyes. "What are you thinking?"


    In the restaurant, Avery''s face started flushing shortly after she started eating, and soon, her eyes


    started turning red as well.


    "Is it that spicy?" Elliot poured her a ss of water.


    She fanned her face. "I used to be quite good with spicy food. I guess I''m not anymore."


    "Then stop eating." He handed her the ss and took her te away.


    She epted the ss and took a sip before tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Elliot froze.


    "It''s so spicy that it made me cry!" She set the ss down and chuckled as she cried. '' Elliot, you once


    said that everything that''s yours is mine as well, right?"
