Chapter 331
Chapter 331 Elliot and Zoe were getting engaged in a week.
As Elliot’s ex wife, Avery certainly did not have to get entangled in any of his affairs.
Mrs. Scarlet took Shea home at 3p.m. after her checkup.
Avery drove the car to the office.
In the week that she was abroad, Tate Industries had basically issued refunds to every customer who
returned their products.
Thanks to the scandal about the quality of their products, all of the orders that were made around the
new year were canceled.
Thepany was not only suffering a loss from the refunds to its customers, it was also facing the
dangers of having no new orders.
This was a fatal blow to any business.
Apany with no stable funding might notst for long and would dere bankruptcy.
Everyone at Tate Industries was living in constant fear of losing their jobs.
When Avery arrived at the office, a few of the department heads immediately approached her.
“What do we do now, Miss Tate?”
“We have no new orders and the workshop downstairs is closed. Emotions are running high among the
employees!”
“It’s all my fault,” said the head of the quality inspection department. “I was careless and did not detect
the problem. Thepany wouldn’t be suffering such a huge loss if it weren’t for
me.”
Avery nced at them, then said soundly, “Ask everyone to go home and get some rest if they have
nothing urgent to do. Their sries will be issued as normal. It’s true that the quality inspection team
made a severe mistake, but that’s alright. Just don’t make the same mistake again. If there is a next
time, then please resign!”
“What’s our next move, then? We’re theughing stock of the entire industry!” said the vic president.
Avery took a sip of water.
There was a knock on her door, followed by her secretary saying, “Miss Tate, Mr. Locklyn from Golden
Technologies is here to see you.”
Avery had chased Shaun away before and warned him not to return.
Unexpectedly, he had the guts to show up again.
He must be here tough in her face.
“Let him in,” Avery said, then turned to the department heads and said, “For now, go and try to settle
everyone down. Let’s talk again in a meetingter.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
The department heads then left the room.

Shaun strode into Avery’s office with a delighted grin on his face.
Avery walked over to the couch from behind her desk, then offered Shaun a seat.
“You’ve hit a wall, Avery Tate!” Shaun said as he casually sat down and nced around her office. “It’s
a shame! It hasn’t even been six months since you rebuilt thepany, but it will probably go bankrupt
again soon!”
“Thanks for your concern, Uncle Shaun. However, just as you will never get my father’s Super Brain
system in your hands, I’m afraid your predictions will also nevere true!”
The grin on Shaun’s face vanished upon hearing Avery’s words.
“Don’t force me to take more extreme measures, Avery Tate! Even if you get through this rough patch,
we will still join forces to defeat you in the future! Don’t expect things to go smoothly for you in
Aryadelle!” Shaun threatened.
“Let’s just wait and see! We’ll see who between us ends up defeated,” Avery said nonchntly.
“Do you even know who you’re up against? It’s more than eighty percent of domestic capital! Are you
sure you want to be this stubborn?” Shaun hissed softly. “If your father was still alive, he wouldn’t act
this foolishly!”
Avery raised her brows and retaliated, “Do you know why you’ll always be a vice president? It’ s
because you’re definitely not as smart as I am.”
Shaun shattered his ss in a rage!
Then, he stormed out of the room.
At the same time, Elliot received a call from Mrs. Scarlet.
“Mr. Foster, please hurry home!” Mrs. Scarlet sobbed as her voice trembled. “I took Shea for a checkup
today. The test results show that she’s overdosed on sleeping pills!”
Elliot’s brows furrowed tightly as he snapped, “Who gave her sleeping pills?!”
Mrs. Scarlet held the white bottle of pills that Zoe had given her. “I’ll tell you when you get back,” she
said nervously.
