“This is Caleb’s house, so I won’t go in!” Travis stood beside Averie and explained, “Caleb is my favorite son, he is smart and capable, I thought he could take over my position, but I didn’t expect him Such a thing happened. Now every time I see him, my heart aches. So I try not to see him.”
Averie couldn’t understand that he could be so different from Travis.
Basically every word Travis said, Averie wanted to refute.
And Travis didn’t care about Averie’s feelings at all.
After saying these words, Travis got in the car and left under the protection of the bodyguards.
A man who looked like a housekeeper came out and invited Averie into the room.
“Ms. Tate, our eldest young master is in the room, come with me.”
Averie immediately followed the housekeeper and walked towards the master bedroom on the first floor.
The bodyguards followed Averie step by step.
The housekeeper looked back at the bodyguard and seemed to be very unwelcome to come with him.
“What’s wrong?” Averie asked the housekeeper.
“That’s right, our eldest young master has been reluctant to meet strangers since he had a car accident.” The housekeeper explained.
“That can’t be helped. Mr. Jones asked me to treat him.” Averie replied.
“Ms. Tate, that’s not what I meant. I mean, your bodyguard may be able to wait outside.” The housekeeper said.
Without waiting for Averie to speak, the bodyguard took the lead: “Where is my boss, where is he? If young master can’t see strangers, but he has to see my boss, then seeing another stranger won’t kill him. “
“Since I promised to treat your eldest young master, it is definitely not at home. He will still go to the hospital in the future. No one can guarantee that every medical staff in the hospital is an acquaintance of your eldest young master.” After speaking Averie, the housekeeper said nothing to her.
The housekeeper opened the door and let Averie and the bodyguard go in.
The bedridden eldest young master Caleb saw Averie and his bodyguards come in, and the gloomy mood on his face deepened.
“Young master Jones, I watched your film, you can walk on both legs, it’s better to stay in bed less.”
Caleb: “The doctor made me stay in bed more.”
“Excessive bed rest will only make your body less functional and not beneficial. Either you are lying or your doctor wants to harm you.”
Caleb’s face suddenly turned red.
“Young master Jones, I can cure your illness, but you must give me what I need. I don’t know if you are willing to make a deal with me.” Averie walked to the hospital bed and whispered to Caleb.
Averie told Travis just now that he would not charge any money, just to come to negotiate directly with Caleb.
Caleb didn’t expect Averie to say these words to him. He was stunned.
“I heard from your father that you are the son he values the most. He said that your family had such a big family business, and he said that he originally planned to let you inherit it because you were his most intelligent and capable child… But now He is very distressed by your appearance. If you can recover, he will definitely re-entrust you with important responsibilities.” Averie said, “You must also want to return to your original life, right?”
Caleb hesitated for a moment, and then asked: “What do you want? Do you think I can meet your requirements as a waste person?”
Averie: “I want to bet once. You are Travis’s most important son. If you can’t do it, it’s even more impossible for others to do it.”
Caleb: “What do you want?”
Averie: “I want Elyette’s whereabouts.”
“Oh! I don’t know!” Caleb gave the answer without thinking, “I don’t know Elyette! I haven’t seen him, let alone where he is! Why do you think I would know?”
“I didn’t say you knew.” Averie corrected him, “your dad might know.”
“Even if my dad knows where Elyette is, I can’t help you find out such important news!” Caleb said in a hoarse voice, with his throat rolling, “You really don’t know my father! He said I was the most important son, do you believe it?”
“Why don’t I believe it? He is your father, and you are his eldest son. The eldest son is generally favored and relied upon by his parents…” Averie speculated.
“Ridiculous!” Caleb looked at Averie with the eyes of a fool, “Do you think that all parents in this world are good parents who love their children? You must have never met a bad person, right? Naive and stupid woman!”
Averie was scolded for no reason, her cheeks flushed instantly, and anger ignited in her heart.
But considering what happened to Caleb, it is understandable that her temperament has changed, so she did not argue with him.
“Be careful what you say! My boss is your doctor now. If you can agree to my boss’s request, you will agree. If you can’t, you will pull it down! Don’t waste my boss’s precious time!” The bodyguard roared harshly.
Caleb glared at the bodyguard.
After all, this is the Jones family! Not the Tate family!
“I’m talking to Caleb, you don’t need to interrupt. If I’m really angry, I’ll scold me back myself.” Averie whispered to the bodyguard.
“Oh…Caleb said that to you just now, aren’t you angry?” The bodyguard wondered why Averie had such a good temper.
When Averie was with Elyette in the past, sometimes Elyette’s casual words could make her frizz.
“You go out first, I want to chat with Caleb alone.” Averie said to the bodyguard.
“No… I can’t go out. I swear, I have to follow you wherever you go in the future.” Having learned from the previous lessons from Country Yonroeville, the bodyguard never dared to leave her for half a step.
“You wait outside the door. I’ll call you for something. He’s sick now, so he can’t do anything to me.” Averie said to bodyguards. Considering that the bodyguards are here, might make Caleb unable to say something directly.
After listening to her words, bodyguards had to go out the door reluctantly.
In the bedroom, only she and Caleb were left.
“You said just now that I have never met a bad person, and if I had never met a bad person, I wouldn’t have nearly lost my life in country Yonroeville!” Averie retorted what Caleb said just now, “if your father doesn’t love you, why would he ask me to do it for you? Are you healing?”
“Then do you know, who did I suffer like this?” Caleb showed a strange and terrifying smile on his face.
It was obviously daytime, but his smile made Averie feel gloomy and evil.
“Who did it?” Averie asked, following his words.
“Who are you? Why should I tell you?” Caleb suddenly changed his face and said irritably, “Get out of my room! Get out of my room!”
Seeing that his emotions were out of control, Averie immediately said, “You can think about the deal I just proposed. As long as you can help me get Elyette’s whereabouts, I promise to cure you.”
“Go away!” Caleb covered his ears with his hands, not wanting to hear her voice.
Listening for one more second seems to kill him.
Averie was very surprised by his reaction, but in order not to continue to stimulate him, she quickly came out of the room.
“Boss, why did you come out so soon?” The bodyguard stared at her face to see if she had any trouble.
“Go out and talk.”
Averie quickly left the house.
On the way back, Averie kept reviewing everything that happened after seeing Caleb today.
The words Caleb said were very strange. He seemed to be implying something to her, but it wasn’t obvious.
His reaction was completely different from what she expected, and she wanted to know why.
Back at home, Averie picked up the water glass and drank a large glass of water.
When the nanny saw Averie’s return, she immediately brought out the prepared lunch.
Averie had no appetite, but went to the table and sat down anyway. She turned on the phone and wanted to send a message to Emilio, but the moment she turned on the phone, she saw Mike’s missed calls and messages.
She dialed Mike’s number, and the call was answered in seconds.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” Mike asked anxiously, “You and Travis have been drinking coffee for so long?”
“No, we finished drinking soon. I went to see Caleb. That is, Travis’s eldest son.” Averie said doubts in her heart, “He’s a little weird…”
Mike: “Weird? You say he is still his son?”
“Both of them are to blame. It seems that I have obstacles when I talk to them both.” Averie frowned.
Mike helped her analyze: “Travis is 73 years old this year, and the generation gap between the two of you has been separated several times. It is normal for you to not speak. His eldest son had a car accident before, and it is estimated that there is a psychological problem. It’s normal if you can’t tell. You don’t have to doubt yourself, it’s their father and son’s problem.”
“You can really comfort people. But I don’t think it’s what you said.” Averie felt a hunger in her stomach, “Wait when you come back, I’ll eat first.”
After talking on the phone, Averie suddenly forgot that she opened her phone to send a message to Emilio.
