Chapter 2098


    Ben hesitated. "I’m just worried about you."


    "What exactly are you worried about?" Elliot asked. "That I have nothing to eat or that I will catch a


    cold? Or are you worried that you won''t get to see me onest time if I drop dead?"


    Ben was renderedpletely speechless." Elliot, that''s not what I mean... I am just worried about


    you because it''s been so long since I saw you, and I just wanted to talk to you more often..."


    "You are just worried that we won''t have time to talk again in the future!" Elliot said.


    "Of course, not! I''m confident in Avery," Ben said sincerely. "Since you are getting a new phone


    today, I will go back tomorrow."


    "You knew about Natalie, didn''t you?"

    "You mean how she bribed Holly nche into tricking and trapping you two in Ylore? " Ben asked.


    "That woman is pure evil! One really wouldn''t be able to tell that she''s such a person from her


    appearance. She used to fawn over you, and I just thought of her as one of many women who


    pursued you. Who would have thought that she would try to destroy you simply because she


    couldn’t have you?"


    "She has Dean to back her up now, and Dean is marrying Ang soon, so we can''t do anything to


    her just yet, but I am not handing Tate Industries over to her and Dean Jennings."


    Elliot had not been able to let go of the fact that Tate Industries belonged to Avery.


    "Elliot, are you trying to say that you want to destroy the contract you signed with Natalie and kick


    her out of the game entirely?" Ben asked. "We will have to pay her arge sum of money. It''s not


    worth it."


    "Do you have a better way?" Elliot questioned.


    "Let me think about it... If there really isn''t another way, we will do as you say and break the


    contract. Even if we were to kick Natalie out, she wouldn’t exactly suffer. She''s Dean Jennings’


    daughter and is rather capable, so Dean is surely going to keep her around so she can work for


    him."


    Elliot did not respond. If only Ang was not controlling his brain at the moment. He wanted to do


    far worse than simply kick Natalie out of Tate Industries.


    Ben knew what he was thinking and said after a moment of silence, "Once Avery fullyprehends


    all of Ang''s research, we will deal with Dean and Natalie together!"


    Half an hourter, Avery returned with a new phone.


    She smiled when she spotted Ben. "You are here, Ben! Stay and have lunch with us!"


    "Sure!" He noticed the phone she was holding and reached for it. "Is that the new phone you got


    Elliot? That''s the newest model, right?"


    "Yeah. I registered a new number for him, too. You should save it." Avery handed the phone over to


    Ben.


    "Why a new number, though? He had been using the same number for so long. You could have just


    applied for a new sim card." Ben used the phone to call his own number so that he could save


    Elliot''s new contact.


    "I was the one who asked for a new number.


    " Elliot took his new phone back from Ben.


    "It''s not bad. He won''t be disturbed by too many people that way." Avery smiled gently and said,


    "Ben, why don''t you two chat for a while? I have something to do."


    "Yeah, go on! Don''t worry about us."


    Once Avery left, Elliot opened his contact list and found that there were already a few saved


    contacts in his phone which included Avery, Shea, La, Hayden, Ben, and Chad.
