When His Eyes Opened Chapter 34
Just as Avery entered the living room of Elliot’s mansion, she was ushered by Mrs. Cooper to sit down on the couch."Master Elliot prepared a gift for you, Madam."Mrs. Cooper opened up a white gift box on the table, revealing an exquisite white gown."Are you sure he gave this to me?" Avery said as she looked at the gown in disbelief."Yes, Madam. There's a dinner tonight that you need to go to with Master Elliot. There are shoes, too!" Mrs. Cooper explained, then opened up another box carrying a pair of fine stilettos.Avery picked up one of the heels and stared at it with apprehension."Why is he taking me? I don't know any of his friends. Isn't he worried I'd embarrass him?""I'm sure he has his reasons," Mrs. Cooper replied. "Move on from the past, Madam, and just spend the rest of your days happily with Master Elliot."Avery looked up at Mrs. Cooper and then said, "Do you think he's moved on? We still don't know what his real intentions are for taking me out tonight!""M

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

"Madam Avery hasn't come home yet," said Mrs. Cooper. "I've been waiting in the living room the whole time and I haven't seen her all night."Elliot's eyes turned dark.If she did not come home, where could she have gone?Did she lie to him about coming home to write her thesis?"I'll give her a call right now," Mrs. Cooper said as she rushed toward the living room.On the other hand, Avery had been abducted the moment she had set foot out of Forrance Villa. She had been dragged into a car, blindfolded, and her wrists were bound. The car drove on for about an hour before coming to a halt.She was taken into a room and thrown into a chair.When her blindfold was taken off, she heard the unfamiliar voice of a strange man."Apologies, Miss Tate. We're just doing our jobs. We won't hurt you as long as you cooperate with us."Avery glanced around the white room until her eyes fell on the stranger's face.He was wearing a mask, so she could not see his features, but his voice w

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

"What I meant was, how are you supposed to buy me designer dresses and shoes if you do not work harder and earn more money?"Avery had changed into her house slippers, walked over to Elliot, and added, "This is my first time wearing such expensive things.""Poor you," Elliot hissed, then walked into the elevator.Avery held her tongue as she watched the elevator doors close. She wanted to insult his excessively extravagant and wasteful lifestyle.When she entered her room, she took off her gown and walked into the shower.The warm water enveloped her entire body, numbing her senses.Avery arrived at Tate Industries first thing the next morning.At 10 a.m., there was not a seat left empty in the meeting room."Good morning, everyone. My name is Avery Tate. The reason I called for this meeting today is because I was abducted last night," Avery said, then glanced around at the faces in the room."Seriously?! Are you okay, Avery?" Someone exclaimed in shock."I'm fine. I wanted

"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

Avery's phone rang ten minutes later.She answered it, hung up, sent Tammy a text, then rushed toward the hotel exit.Jun watched Avery's back as she quickly made her way out. He smiled. How did she find a man to make a fool out of Elliot Foster behind his back? Could she not just stay quietly by his side?Where was she going to find a man who was better than Elliot Foster?Jun had no idea what she was thinking.Tammy's brows furrowed as she replied: [What's the rush? Is it that urgent?]Avery: [Extremely urgent! I'll see you again soon!]The one who had called Avery was Elliot's bodyguard.He had instructed her to wait for him at the hotel entrance.If she did not listen, he was going to break her legs.Avery still suffered from the past traumatic experience with the bodyguard. He was a cruel man.Although she knew that he was acting on Elliot's orders, it was better to be safe than sorry. A black car stopped on the street in front of her about fifteen minutes later.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 41
Perhaps it was because Elliot had not shown favor to many people in his life so far that when he showed the slightest feeling for someone, everyone assumed that he was in love with that person. The kind of love that Avery dreamed of was one of mutual respect and not one where one party held all the control and power in the relationship.When the car arrived at the Foster mansion, the bodyguard got out and walked right up to Elliot."Miss Tate told me in the car that the things she said last night were simply to test out the lie detector," explained the bodyguard, probably in fear of Elliot losing his temper.Avery was taking her time changing into her house slippers at the front door. She was alert, listening in to the conversation. "She even said that she never meant to anger you," added the bodyguard."Does she not have a mouth? Why are you speaking for her?" snapped Elliot.The bodyguard immediately dismissed himself, but not before throwing a threatening glare at Avery, as
