Chapter 2027


    "I never said that your cousin told me about this!" Avery would not sell Leah out. "If I dare to stop


    you here, that meant I have received solid news. Natalie, you were trying to kill Elliot and I to make


    Tate Industries your own! It was a great n, but sadly, I''m not dead!"


    "If it wasn''t my cousin who told you, where did you get your news from? Avery, since you have


    proof, show us! If you can prove that it was me, I''ll let you do anything to me! If you don''t have


    proof, ordering your bodyguards to grab me is against thew!"


    Natalie shouted as loudly as she could to emphasize how thew was on her side.


    Avery heard how arrogant she sounded andpletely lost it!


    At the thought of how much she and Elliot had suffered in Ylore, and how Elliot was nowhere to be


    found while all she could do was wonder whether he was suffering or not, and how the mastermind


    was standing before her yet she was powerless to do anything made her lose it. She could no


    longer remain calm!


    "So, what if it''s against thew? Didn''t you do illegal things too? If you''re not afraid of it, why should


    I be afraid?" Avery choked Natalie with one hand. She choked her hard without any control of her


    strength!


    Natalie''s face instantly turned red. Her breathing was quicker too!


    Mike saw many people fishing out their phones to secretly record this scene. He was afraid that it


    would be hard to deal with this matter if things got big.


    They had no proof. If Avery were to really choke Natalie to death in public, it would surely cause


    controversy and awsuit. It was not worth it at all.


    Even if they wanted Natalie dead, they could go back and n it properly.


    "Avery, let her go first. If you really want to kill her, you shouldn''t do it yourself," Mike said lowly in


    Avery''s ears. "Aren''t you afraid you''ll get your hands dirty?"


    "Where is Elliot? Are you going to tell me or not?" Avery ignored Mike''s words. She looked at


    Natalie with reddened eyes. She did not appear to care for her surroundings. "If you''re not going to


    speak, you don''t have to at all. I''ll send you right to hell now!"


    "Avery, how dare you! I am... I am Dean Jennings'' daughter..." Natalie''s h;b&;YNU?s gripped


    Avery''s hands that were wrapped around her neck. She tried to pry her hand off. However, Avery''s


    hand was solidly attached to her neck. Natalie could not get rid of her no matter how she tried.

    "Avery, let her go!" Dean noticed that Avery seemed to have lost it, so he yelled out loud. "If you


    want to look for Elliot, I can help you find him! You''re at the airport!


    There are so many eyes looking at you. Aren''t you afraid that you''ll be on the front-page news


    tomorrow? II


    After Dean yelled, Mike immediately pulled Avery''s hands back.


    "Now is not the time to take action yet. You know that Dean has Elliot, and we can''t confront him to


    get Elliot back." Mike held Avery''s stiffened fingers tightly. He said in a low voice, "It''ste. Let''s go


    home. Once we''re home, we can n again."


    "Miss Tate, you''re bleeding," Wilson stood next to Avery and saw that her clothes were wet with


    blood.


    Before Avery coulde to her senses, he immediately picked her up.


    Natalie quickly returned to Dean''s side, gasping for air.


    After Avery left, Dean brought Natalie home to the Jennings.


    Natalie''s neck was red from Avery''s tight grip. The suffocating feeling made her heart beat wildly.


    "Luckily you escaped quickly enough. If you were still in Aryadelle, you might have already been


    caught," Dean leaned back in his chair and saidzily.


    "Dad, thank you." Natalie did not want to acknowledge him so quickly, but she was forced to do so


    due to current circumstances. "I did not do things carefully enough. I can''t believe that I gave Leah


    the chance to eavesdrop on me..."


    "Natalie, you have now offended the Tate and the Foster families. If I hadn''t protected you, you


    would have died today," said Dean calmly. "So if you listen to me, I can ensure your safety. If not..."


    "Dad, I''ll listen to you," Natalie immediately professed her loyalty. "Tate Industries is a huge chunk of


    meat. If you want, we can work together."
