Gwen was stunned: “What is my second brother’s action?”
Ben Schaffer said solemnly, “He gave Norah Jones a lot of money to build a new company in Bridgedale. I thought he was releasing the news that he was going to deal with AN Technology, just to scare Averie, but I didn’t expect it. He wants to play for real. I don’t know what stimulated him.”
Gwen frowned and said anxiously: “What should I do? How can I stop him? Ben Schaffer, can’t you persuade him?”
Ben: “Elyette didn’t listen to me at all.”
Ben Schaffer’s words made Gwen feel cold.
She finished talking on the phone and went back to the restaurant.
Seeing Gwen’s sadness face, Mike immediately teased: “I said just now that you and Ben Schaffer have already established a relationship, but looking at you now, this is a breakup?”
Gwen pursed her red lips and shook her head vigorously: ” Ben Schaffer said that my second brother gave Norah Jones a lot of money to deal with AN Technology.”
In an instant, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed suddenly.
“Gwen, we are here today to celebrate for you. There is no need to talk about other unhappy things.” Averie’s mood was relatively calm. “Didn’t I say before that Elyette was going to deal with AN Technology? Now he is giving money to Norah Jones, just starting to implement his plan.”
Mike’s mood was also very calm, after all, he had scolded Elyette for this matter before. Now he didn’t want to waste any energy on Elyette.
“Are you all with sullen faces? The sky hasn’t fallen yet. Don’t you believe me and Averie?” Mike raised his glass, and said with changing his mood, “Come on, let’s have a drink together, I wish Gwen a supermodel soon! Please invite us next time and we’ll go to a more upscale place to eat a big meal.”
Gwen blushed and said: “If I really become a supermodel, I don’t know where to invite you to eat. I have never been to a more upscale place than here. “
“It’s alright, I’ll take everyone there when the time comes. You can just settle the bill.” Mike joked, shouting for everyone to drink.
The atmosphere was pulled back immediately.
“Averie, I said something bad. If your AN Technology fails to keep and goes bankrupt, you don’t have to be afraid at all.” Eric’s agent said to Averie, “I especially want to sign Layla. Layla’s conditions are really good! Not only she is beautiful, but she is also good at singing and dancing. She seems to be born for the entertainment industry. As long as you agree with Layla to enter the entertainment industry, she will make more money than yours.”
Lexie reminded: “Layla followed Elyette. What did you tell Averie about this?”
“I know that Layla followed Elyette, but Layla prefers her mother. In the future, when Layla makes money, she is still afraid. Will she not give her mother flowers?” Eric’s agent said schemingly.
An embarrassed blush appeared on Averie’s face: “Thank you for liking my daughter. Her future development depends on her own arrangements. Besides, even if AN Technology goes bankrupt, I will not live on my daughter.”
“Hey, that’s not what I meant. I’m not saying you’ve been reduced to living on Layla…I just want to comfort you that you don’t have to worry about your future life. No matter what, you have such a great child.”
“Don’t talk if you can’t speak.” Eric picked up the bottle and poured wine for the manager.
Averie smiled gently, and said, “Well, I know you are kind enough to comfort me. Thank you! If the company accidentally goes bankrupt, I should take a good rest for a while, maybe consider raising a cat or a dog, by the way. Plant some flowers and plants.”
Lexie envied, “You are planning to start your retirement life directly! But if I were you, I would retire directly. I don’t know how good your daughter is, all I know is that your son is amazing. I’ve seen countless people in my life, and I’ve never seen someone as smart as your son.”
Averie was a little overwhelmed by the praise.
When others praise her child, it makes her feel more happy than complimenting her directly.
After the meal was over, it was 10:00 P.M.
Mike helped Averie out of the restaurant.
Eric walked with his agent.
Eric wanted to stay at Averie’s house for another night tonight, and the agent showed him tonight’s ticket.
“You have to come to help Gwen, I didn’t say anything, right? The announcement I received before has been delayed for three days. We have to hurry back. You don’t need to take your luggage at Averie’s house, and let Averie send it to you home. It’s alright.”
Eric got a headache from being talked about, and compromised: “I see, I’ll go and tell Averie.”
“When you went to the bathroom just now, I already told her. Let’s go directly!” After saying, the agent pulled Eric into the car.
After they left, Gwen was also taken away by her manager.
Mike and Averie got into the car, because Mike was drinking, so the bodyguard drove now.
After the car drove out, the bodyguard and Mike spoke in unison, they only started and stopped.
“You speak first.” Mike said.
Averie: “Hayden is too busy, I’m worried that his body can’t take it. After all, he is still a child.”
Averie planned to call Hayden for dinner tonight, but Hayden said that he had something to do and couldn’t come.
Mike: “Then when you wait for him to rest, have a good talk with him. Set a time to go home every night.”
Mike also felt that Hayden was working too hard recently. He knew why Hayden did this.
Because of Elyette’s various blows to Averie, Hayden saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. He has a strong personality and stronger self-esteem. He must want to do something to deal with Elyette’s blow.
“Well.” Averie answered and asked, “What did you want to say just now?”
Mike shook his head: “I have nothing to say. I think it’s good to have a complete tear with Elyette. I don’t bother anymore. I’m wasting my words for scolding him.”
Averie looked at the neon flashing outside the window and asked, “Do we have no chance of winning?”
“If Elyette wants to kill us, then we really have no chance of winning. After all, his Sterling Group has a lot of blood. He can continue to provide strong financial support for Norah Jones. In addition, the Tate Industries has already been done very well by us. If we knew that he was so unscrupulous, we should not have given up the equity directly.”
Mike regretted a little.
“I said it was child support.” Averie did not regret the decision.
MIke: “Forget it, I’m just talking casually. If you’re sleepy, close your eyes and I’ll call you when you get home.”
Averie: “Well.”
The days that followed were plain and fulfilling.
Mike bought Averie a record player, and bought many old records, so that when she was bored, she could listen to music.
Gwen also bought Averie a lot of new autumn styles. If she hadn’t received the clothes from Gwen, she wouldn’t have known that autumn had come quietly.
On this day, Averie was lying on the sofa listening to songs and taking a nap. The sound of the phone vibrating woke her up from her light sleep. She got up lazily, picked up the phone from the coffee table, and answered the call.
“Averie, I brought the child to see you!” Tammy’s happy voice came over the phone.
Averie: “You brought the baby?”
“Yes! If you don’t go back to Aryadelle, then I can only bring the child to see you.” Tammy laughed, and said, “I didn’t tell you in advance, I just wanted to give you a surprise.”
Averie held the phone and immediately went back to the room to change clothes. She didn’t go out every day recently, and she wore home clothes at home.
Averie: “Isn’t Jun coming with you?”
Tammy: “I didn’t want him to come. He couldn’t worry about his daughter. He insisted on sending us here.” Tammy said embarrassedly, “If you don’t want to see it When I get to him, then I’ll let him stay in the hotel.”
“Jun’ll welcome here.” Averie turned on the speakerphone and put it on the bed, “Tammy, did you make a special trip to see me? I’m so embarrassed.”
“Why are you being polite to me. If it wasn’t for the fact that the child was too young, my mother and my mother-in-law wouldn’t let me go out, I would have come to you a long time ago.” Tammy said, Her laughing was disappeared, “Elyette seems to be a different person now, and Jun thinks he is too weird, so he doesn’t interact with him anymore.”
About half an hour later, Tammy’s family came to Averie’s house. Averie warmly welcomed them. She saw Kara for the first time, so she wrapped a big red envelope for her.
“Kara’s so young now, why are you giving her the red envelope?” Tammy couldn’t refuse, so she could only accept it, “My daughter is stupid, she sleeps all day besides eating. She doesn’t recognize birth now, so give her only a hug!”
Averie wanted to hug her, but she was a little worried that her eyesight had not returned to normal, what if she accidentally fell the child?
But looking at Kara’s obedient little face, she couldn’t hold back and took Kara from Tammy.
“Newborn children are like this. When she grows up, she won’t sleep so much.” Averie sat down on the sofa with Kara in her arms, looking at the little guy’s chubby face, smiling and teasing, She said, “Kara, have you gone to play with Layla’s brother Robert?”
Tammy said, “Robert and Layla have both gone to school, so I can only bring Kara to play on weekends. But on weekends Elyette is also at home, so I don’t dare to stay there. The atmosphere is weird, you know?”
Averie: “You can ask Mrs. Cooper to bring Layla and Robert to your house to play.”
Tammy complained, “Layla has training classes on weekends. I’m not that familiar with Mrs. Cooper, why would I be so embarrassed to make such a request? Anyway, it’s inconvenient if you’re not here.”
Averie’s eyes slid with discomfort.
Tammy can at least see Layla and Robert, but she hasn’t seen the two children for a long time.
“Averie, why are your eyes red?” Jun was on the sofa opposite Averie and saw that her eyes were red.
Averie’s eyes were a little red just after the stitches were removed.
“Maybe I didn’t rest well.” Averie found a reason casually.
