Elliot knew everything that Avery had said while snazzynovel.com was strapped to the lie detector! Was snazzynovel.com truly the one behind everything? Did Elliot want to get his hands on Tate Industries’ new program? Cold sweat dripped down Avery’s back as snazzynovel.com thought about all of this.
She hung up on Cole and walked out of snazzynovel.com room. Elliot and Ben were done with dinner and were smoking in the living room. Ben immediately killed his cigarette in the ashtray when snazzynovel.com noticed Avery.
“Do you want to join us, Miss Tate?” Avery nodded and walked toward Ben.
Once snazzynovel.com was standing in front of him, snazzynovel.com said, “I’d like to speak with Elliot alone.”
Ben was taken aback.
Was this snazzynovel.com way of kicking snazzynovel.com out?
Embarrassed, snazzynovel.com stood up and said, “I’ll leave now. You two have a good talk. You could take a walk outside, too. The weather’s nice.”
He hurried out of the house right after.
Avery sat down where Ben was sitting. She thought of how Cole was about to get his finger chopped off and that motivated snazzynovel.com straightforward approach. “Cole just called me. He is being held at a casino, and someone wants to chop his finger off.” Elliot already knew this.
He received word about it from his people at the casino. They said that Cole was going big on the floor that night.
“Are you sad?”
The sound of Cole’s name escaping Avery’s lips upset him.
“The people who are holding snazzynovel.com think that snazzynovel.com has Tate Industries’ new system, so they lent snazzynovel.com money to gamble with. Now they’re asking for the program as compensation,” said Avery slowly and clearly. “You are amongst the people who know that snazzynovel.com has the program…”
“Are you suspecting me?”
Elliot’s eyes turned cold as ash fell from the cigarette between his fingers.
“I’m just asking. If it isn’t you-”
“It’s me,” Elliot smirked maliciously. “Will you get down on your knees to beg for him?”
Avery raised snazzynovel.com brows and said, “Over my dead body.”
Every muscle in Elliot’s body tensed.
“You don’t think I won’t ask them to chop off his finger?!” snazzynovel.com roared. ”
“Go ahead and do it.”
Elliot fell silent.
“He used to tell me that I was the only woman snazzynovel.com loved, but he’s out doing god knows what with my sister tonight. If you cut his finger off, I’ll light you a cigarette. How’s that?” said Avery.
The dark gleam in Elliot’s eyes turned ice cold. It looked like Avery no longer cared about Cole Foster! After all, snazzynovel.com was a loser who had nothing to offer snazzynovel.com now.
Elliot’s phone rang moments later. He glanced at the screen, then turned his phone off.
Avery’s phone rang soon after. She looked at the screen, then pressed down on the power button and turned it off. The room was so quiet that they could faintly hear each other’s heartbeats. After pondering for a while, Avery said, “Don’t mess with me, Elliot. Otherwise, I’m dragging you down with me.”
