Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 31 - Bab 40

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Let's get the divorce settled on Monday!" Avery continued.Faced with her fervent impatience, Elliot nonchalantly pulled out a cigarette and lit it.Avery furrowed her brows. She could not figure out what he was thinking.Could it be that he did not want to go through with the divorce?Otherwise, he would not be so indifferent.Avery took a deep breath and said, "Can you really handle being cheated on? I wouldn't want to see the person who had cheated on me for the rest of my life if I were you. You have to divorce me! You'd be an idiot not to!"Elliot coolly exhaled a smoke ring as he followed her with his dark eyes, watching her performance. "Have you met with Chelsea? That must have p*ssed you off, right? That's good because it was all my idea! I did it just to mess with you!"Avery was adding fuel to the fire.Mrs. Cooper was in a corner. Her heart was pounding as she listened in.Why was Avery digging her own grave?Was she having a mental b

Once Shaun sent the photo to Wanda, he decided to watch over the safe all day in hopes that she might surprise him.If Wanda could crack the safe's code, then he could kick Avery out of the picture without giving her a penny.Wanda called about half an hour later and said, "I can't think of anything else other than the combinations that you've already tried, but I noticed that the date of birth written here for Laura Jensen is the one on her ID. That's not her real birthdate. Let's try again with the real one.""Alright!" Shaun responded enthusiastically.Two hours later, they had finally managed to get the safe door open.Wanda was right. Jack had used Laura's real date of birth and not the one stated on her ID.Jack had used a combination of Laura's and Avery's birthdates as the safe's passcode. The correct passcode and the family portrait in the secret chamber complimented each other.It was Jack's homage to Laura and Avery.Wanda was on a video call with Shaun, and she bu

Avery decided to play along."It's true. He's incredibly rich. He's just old, ugly, and his body is on the verge of collapse."The crowd was scratching their heads trying to figure out who this old, ugly, and unfit bigshot was.A waiter walked over to Avery and said, "Please proceed to the second floor, Miss Tate."Avery instantly looked up.The building had an open concept, and the second-floor railing could be seen from the living room on the first floor. Elliot's bodyguard was standing by the railing and looking down at her.When the waiter escorted her away, the faces of the people in the crowd changed from one of mockery to one of awe. Those in attendance at the banquet were the creme de la creme of high society. Even the wealthy had their own form of social hierarchy. That night, the more ordinary members of the upper class were mingling amongst themselves in the banquet hall on the first floor. Those with more power over society, on the other hand, were invited t

Unfortunately, Avery had to use Cole as a scapegoat this time.Since Shaun had found out about the missing contents, she had to divert his attention elsewhere before things got more difficult for her. Suddenly, Avery's phone rang.The man opened her bag and pulled out her phone.The words "Foster Mansion" flashed on the phone screen."You weren't kidding! Since you're close to the Fosters, I won't keep you any longer. Go on!"The man did not want to get in trouble with the Foster family. Besides, he already did what he was paid to do.Once Avery was free, she immediately called Mrs. Cooper back."Why did you hang up just now, Madam? It's late and you're not home yet. Did something happen?" Mrs. Cooper asked.Avery glanced around her surroundings.She was in the middle of nowhere. The road was dim, and it ran through a forest. At a glance, it looked like the bloody jaws of a wild beast that were ready to gobble her up. It was terrifying."Is the driver still on the clock, Mr

"Yes, it's been hard," Avery answered. "I don't think it's plausible to introduce a self-driving program to the market right now. Even the most advanced program would not be able to beat the human mind. If I'm not confident in the program, why would the investors be?""Don't be so pessimistic about it. Many people invest in things that they find creative, not just because of practicality. There's a party tonight. Everyone there is an heir of a rich family. Do you want to come with me? You never know, you might just bump into someone who's interested in investing!""Forget it!" Avery scoffed. "I won't get anywhere with a bunch of rich brats. It's the first generation, self-made bigshots that I need.""They'll be there, too! You might as well try your luck," Tammy said as she tried to convince Avery. "I don't want to go either, but my dad's making me. He set up a blind date for me. Just come and give me some moral support, okay?""Fine," Avery said as she gave in.At 7 p.m. that eve
