Chapter 1938


    Meanwhile, in Aryadelle, Tate Industries.


    Natalie had been keeping a close eye on Ylore news, but she had not seen what she had hoped to


    see.


    She did not mind, though.


    Elliot and Avery had been locked inside the basement of an abandoned house in the suburb. She


    had sent someone to ce a device that blocked all signals, which meant that there was no way


    they could call for help.


    One of the exits was locked and the other waspletely sealed, so their only fate was death.


    She counted the days and realized that the two had been locked inside the basement for four days.


    Whether they could survive or not depended on a variety of factors.


    Elliot was strong and might still be alive, but Avery seemed more fragile and must be dead by now.


    Natalie’s heart leaped with joy at the thought that Avery was dead. Soon, Tate Industries’ name


    would be changed, and Natalie already had a new name in mind: Jennings Industries.


    "Ms. Jennings, why are you smiling like that?" Her assistant walked in and mirrored Natalie''s smile.


    "The vice president of Sterling Group was nearby so he''s here to deliver you the contract."


    Natalie immediately stood. "Invite him in!"


    Dean Johanson, the vice president of Sterling Group, was standing by the door and stepped inside


    right away after hearing Natalie''s summons.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    "Natalie, I hope I didn''t interrupt anything bying here unannounced." Dean sat down across the


    table with the contract in his hand. "I happen to pass through here so I thought I would hand you


    this."


    "I will make time for you even if I''m busy." Natalie tugged a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Do


    you want coffee or tea, Dean? If you are not in a hurry, I''d love to have a chat with you."


    "Sure! My schedule is quite empty today," he said, before turning to Natalie''s assistant, "What kind


    of tea do you have here?"


    "We have all sorts of tea, but we have just imported green tea of the best quality."


    "Green tea it is, then!" Dean looked away and nced at the contract, before handing it to Natalie.


    "Are you sure?"


    "Yes. It''s been over a month since I talked to Elliot about this." Natalie walked around the table.


    "Dean, let''s go over there to enjoy our tea."


    "Sure. Have you contacted Elliot in the past few days? I tried calling him but he wouldn''t answer. I''m


    guessing that he turned his phone off because he is enjoying his time alone with Avery, so I don''t


    really want to call him over ;c-=SJU> over again."


    "I tried calling him before, too, but he had not answered then as well. Maybe it''s the signal in Ylore,"


    Natalie said as she unlocked her phone. "I sent him a message a couple of days ago, and he hasn''t


    replied."


    "It''s alright. I am given full authority to represent him in terms of this contract since he had


    mentioned it to me before going to Ylore," Dead said, "I''ve already signed it.”


    "Why are you asking me if I am sure if you''ve already signed it?" Natalie chuckled as she picked the


    contract up and nced at it.
