Chapter 1098
Once Adrian returned to his room after getting some water, Cole turned to his father. “We could use Uncle Adrian, Dad,” Cole revealed his plan. “Avery Tate’s biggest flaw is that she’s softhearted.” Henry listened and pondered for a few seconds, then said, “How do we use him? Your uncle’s an idiot. He can’t do anything at all!”
“We don’t need him to do anything. We just need to use him to threaten Avery.” Cole narrowed his cunning eyes and said, “Aunt Shea died in order to save Avery’s son. She must feel a lot of guilt about it. When she treated Uncle Adrian’s illness, she didn’t know about his true identity. She probably treated his illness out of the guilt she felt toward Aunt Shea.” Henry’s expression turned heavy. “She feels guilty toward your aunt, not your uncle. It would definitely work if we used your aunt against her, but it might not work if we used your uncle. Don’t tell me you want us to use your uncle’s life to threaten her?”.
“We don’t really kill him, of course. Avery won’t just sit around and let someone die. Uncle Adrian’s always in a daze and pretty similar to Aunt Shea. Really think about it, Dad. This is our last chance. Elliot Foster has a violent temper that nobody can control. Even if we kill him, he still won’t give us a penny of his inheritance. However, he listens to Avery Tate. As long as we control Avery, we control him.”
Henry nodded. He completely agreed with his son’s point of view.
It was true that Elliot’s temper was completely different from that of a regular person.
If they had threatened an ordinary person with these scandals, they definitely would have spent a fortune to keep things quiet. However, Elliot did not act that way at all. He would rather both sides be dragged down than give in to someone’s threats.
It was also precisely because of his courage and tenacity, which differed from ordinary people, that he managed to reach a peak in his life that others could never achieve in their lifetimes.
“We need to plan this thoroughly. If we suddenly threaten Avery Tate now, she might not listen without a fight,” Henry said. “She must be really upset that Elliot got beaten up today. Let’s wait for a bit.”
Over at the resort, Avery had something to drink.
The events that occurred during the day, FYPMxuda those that happened that night, took her on a wild roller coaster ride of emotions.
She took a glass of champagne from the tray that one of the waiters was holding.
When Elliot saw this, he wanted to stop her.
Avery did not have a high tolerance for alcohol and got drunk very easily.
Getting drunk was not a pleasant experience and he worried that she would get a headache the next day.
“I feel happy tonight. I’ll just have one glass.” Avery took a sip of champagne, then added,” No drinks for you! You’re hurt, so not allowed to touch alcohol.”
“I won’t drink.” Elliot glanced at the time, then said, “Didn’t you say we’d go back to rest by nine, Avery? It’s almost time.”
“Oh… Take Layla back to get some rest, then. I’ll stay here for a little longer.” Avery had just had one sip of champagne, but her cheeks were already flushed. “You’re the one who got hurt, not me. Nobody asked you to get injured. You should go back and get some rest!”
Elliot was worried about her.
What if Avery continued to have glass after glass once he took Layla back to rest?
From the looks of it, she seemed to already be drunk.
“Take Layla back to rest, Elliot! I’m here to watch Avery, so she’ll be fine!” Tammy said. “You did well tonight. Keep it up!”
“I’m coming to get you if you’re not back in the room by ten,” Elliot said to Avery, then walked over to Layla. Once Elliot left, Tammy threw her arm over Avery’s shoulder and asked, “What’s up with you, Avery? Didn’t you hate drinking?”
Avery let out a heavy sigh, then said, “I did use to hate drinking. I also never understood why people liked drinking. But I think I get it now.”
