Chapter 216

“What did she contact you for?” Avery asked.

“She said she needed an assistant and asked me to recommend one to her,” Wesley said with an expression of irony on his face. Then he laughed and continued, “Guess what her requirements were for picking an assistant? She wanted someone who was Professor Hough’s student and whose skills weren’t worse off than hers… She might as well have just said that she wanted to find someone who could single–handedly take on Shea’s case. As if someone who was better than her would agree to be her assistant! i don’t know if she’s shameless or just plain stupid.”

Avery also found the entire thing ironic.

“She obviously doesn‘t have the skills for the job, but she insists on sticking around. Elliot Foster isn‘t an idiot. He‘ll find the truth out sooner or later,” Wesley said. “You’re too soft hearted, Avery. Not many people would treat their own rivals in love.”

“As long as you‘re not uncomfortable about it.”

“There‘s no point in punishing myself over this. We should look ahead in life,” Avery said, then changed the subject, “I‘ve got some good news. I‘m almost done rebuilding my company. Everything is going smoothly.”

Wesley was happy for her and said, “That‘s great. How is Hayden doing at the special needs school?”

The smile on Avery‘s face vanished at the mention of Hayden.

“He has learned to hack from Mike, and his skills are way beyond my imagination. Elliot’s got his eyes on him,” she said as her head began to ache. “I‘m afraid that Elliot might uncover more things if this continues.”
