Chapter 1757
When Ben saw Mike, he immediately hung up.
Mike walked over to him and measured him up. "Should we head outside to talk? I think you’re up to
something bad."
"If I were up to something bad, I wouldn''t havee to your territory." Ben pulled Mike along toward
the lift. "Do you have any good tea? We can have tea and talk at the same time."
"Only old men like you like tea." Mike did not let go of a single chance to tease Ben." Who asked
you toe? Elliot?"
"Why would you mention him for no reason?" Ben did not mind Mike’s jabs. " Then, what do you
have to drink here? I''m a little sleepy."
"Don''t tell me you''ve justnded?" Mike looked at him. "What on earth could be so urgent that you
come over once yound?"
"Nothing urgent. I''m just feeling guilty and sorry for Avery, but I''m embarrassed to tell her that." Ben
adjusted his sses. "You know that Elliot and I are deeply tied together in business. I listen to all of
his business strategies."
"Oh..." Mike understood what Ben was saying. "Is it because Tate Industries has set up a branch
here in Bridgedale, and you''re here to help with the opening? Is Elliot here too?"
"Elliot did note. It''s because he did note, so I had toe," Ben said helplessly, "There
will be a grand ribboncutting ceremony." "Are you afraid that Avery will me you?
Don''t worry. Her grudge with Elliot will not affect you."
They entered the lift. A momentter, they arrived at Mike''s office.
"I''m here in a personal capacity." Ben entered Mike''s office and saw the fridge. He immediately
walked over to the fridge and opened it. "Damn, why is there so much milk? Why are you so
healthy?"
Mike replied, "Avery got the secretary to buy them for me."
"She treats you so well. I don''t think she treats Elliot with this much care," said Ben, taking a jab.
"No wonder you''re so loyal to her."
"You won’t understand people like us who don''t have parents." Mike took a bottle of milk out from
the fridge and passed it to Ben. "I don''t have any tea leaves. Just
make do!"
Ben epted the milk. "It''s good that you two look after each other, but I want to know about your
company''s future ns. Also, I have an idea. I don''t know if you want to hear about it or not."
"Hold up," Mike said, "Of course, I won''t tell you our future ns. I don''t want to hear your
suggestions either."
"It seems like you n to go up against Natalie," Ben said pitifully. "Natalie has Elliot''s support. You
guys won''t be able to win against her that easily."
"Natalie is nothing but Elliot’s chess piece. Rather than saying we won’t be able to win against her,
you should just say we can''t win against Elliot.”
"Yes, that''s the logic. Actually, if Avery were to talk to Elliot properly, he would surely stop targeting
you."
"Get him to give up this delusion. Avery will not look for him. If she can even give up her children,
don''t you think that she can give up thepany? There is nothing she cannot give up," Mike said
casually. " Whatever tricks he has up his sleeves, bring it on. We are not afraid."

"I really don’t want this to happen," Ben said pitifully.
"You’re just afraid that Lilith will be on our side :g"?XNY? ignore you, right?"
Ben shook his head. "I''ve been single for most of my life. Do you think I''m afraid to grow old alone?
I''m here to tell you all this because I think Elliot has crossed the line. If it were me, I would never
treat my ex-wife this way."
Five dayster, Tate Industries'' Bridgedale branch had its grand opening. The ribboncutting
ceremony was broadcasted live by many of Bridgedale''s famous media.
Mike was at home with Avery that day. He had ordered a huge cake, but he did not let Avery know
beforehand.
When the cake arrived, Avery smiled in surprise and said, "Why did you buy such a huge cake?
Can we finish eating it? What''s the asion? Why did you order a cake?"
Mike turned on the television. On the tv screen, Ben was holding a pair of scissors, attending the
newpany''s ribboncutting ceremony.
