Chapter 11

Elliot reached his arm out through the car window.

 

 

Clipped between his slender fingers was a pack of tissue.

 

Avery was stunned. She was about to decline but ended up uncharacteristically accepting it.

 

“Thanks.”

 

The warmth of his palm still lingered on the tissues.

 

Elliot quickly averted his gaze from her face and rolled up the window as the car sped off.

 

It was ten in the morning at Tate Industries, and all of its employees were working away at their respective stations.

 

It had been a month since the company had paid wages. However, Tate Industries was an old player in the industry. Even if all kinds of negative news were circulating on the internet, its employees refused to give up until the very last moment.

 

If she had not known about the company’s many debts, Avery could not imagine that the calm atmosphere in front of her was an illusion.

 

She entered the meeting room with the company’s vice president, Shaun Locklyn.

 

The lawyer went straight to the point when he saw Avery and said, “I’m very sorry for your loss, Miss Tate. Your father entrusted me to announce his will, which I will do now.”

 

Avery nodded lightly.

 

The lawyer opened up a file and said firmly, “Your father had six pieces of real estate which are respectively located in… Here is the file. Please go through it.”

 

Avery took the document and examined it thoroughly.

 

“Your father also had three parking lots,” said the lawyer as he passed another document to her, “as well as eight shop lots, and twelve vehicles.”

 

Avery knew nothing about the family’s fortune.

 

First of all, she had no interest in it.

 

Second of all, her father had never explained it to her.

 

Now that the lawyer was describing her father’s fortune to her, she could not help but feel a sense of unease.
