Robert should be fine for now.
He let out a sigh of relief, then put his phone down and entered the bathroom.
Once he finished washing up and went downstairs, Mrs.
Scarlet immediately served up a sumptuous breakfast.
“Where‘s Shea?”
Elyette could not help but have a heavy heart as he recalled his conversation with Shea the night before.
He did not expect her to have feelings for Wesley to the point of wanting to start a family with him.
If he had known this would happen, he never would have hired Wesley to take care of Shea.
“She went to see Wesley.
She said she needed to talk things out with him,” Mrs.
Scarlet said as she chuckled bitterly.
“I never thought I‘d see the day where our Shea would fuss over a relationship.
It‘s actually a good thing.
It means that she‘s becoming more like a regular person.”
Elyette responded and said, “I won‘t be able to come home every day.
Please comfort her.”
“She should be able to get over it.
No matter how well Wesley treats her, you‘re still number one in her heart,” Mrs.
Scarlet said as she poured him a glass of milk.
“Bring some soup over to Averie when you go to the hospital later.”
“I won‘t be going to the hospital until this afternoon.”
Elyette took a sip of milk, then said,” Mrs.
Cooper makes her soup every day.”
“I‘ll make some pastries, then.
You can bring it to her in the afternoon.”
Mrs.
Scarlet then sighed and said, “If your mother were still around, she would love her.
Mrs.
Cooper said that her clothes were covered in blood two days ago.
A new mother should get proper rest after she gives birth.”
Elyette‘s entire body stiffened when he heard those words.
He wanted Averie to stay home and rest, but she refused to listen to him.
She would only be able to relax once Robert made it out of this storm.
Over at the hospital, the experts were having a discussion about Robert‘s condition.
Averie was listening to them in a corner.
“The blood clearly isn‘t enough.
None of his vitals have improved.
We‘re just temporarily relieving his symptoms right now.
Things will start to deteriorate again before tomorrow.
We can‘t continue like this.”
The attending doctor offered his suggestion and said, “Robert won‘t have to suffer over and over again if we had a large amount of blood.”
“His blood type is far too rare.
Aryadelle aside, we might not even be able to gather enough blood if we search the entire world.”
“That‘s right.
The biggest issue here is that not many people would be willing to get their blood drawn.
Despite Mrs.
Foster‘s wealth and connections, as well as his formidable status in Aryadelle, it‘s still difficult to find enough blood.”
When their discussion came to an end, the group turned to look at Averie.
Her eyes were filled with undisguised misery and disappointment as she said, “Let‘s drag this out for as long as we can.
It‘s still better than watching him die right now.”
When Averie walked out of the meeting room, she bumped into a wall of muscle.
She was taken aback for a moment.
It was not until she smelled the familiar scent that she let go of her defenses.
Elyette‘s long arms wrapped around her in a strong embrace.
Elyette did not say anything. He just quietly held Averie in his arms. Her broken heart immediately found comfort. She was filled with energy and began to believe that a miracle could happen. Once her emotions were stable, Elyette handed the pastries he brought to her. Averie took the pastries and began to eat.
“The results of the investigation are out,” Elyette said in a deep voice after she had eaten two pieces of pastries.
“Wanda Tate was the one who sent someone to order the headstone.”
Averie closed the pastry box, then took a deep breath.
Elyette held her hand and said, “Wait here at the hospital.
I‘ll go find her.”
After he said that, he immediately got up and left.
Averie consoled herself as she watched his muscular back.
This time, he definitely would not be soft hearted!
He might have shown mercy to Chelsea because of their past, but he had no such past with Wanda.
Over at Wonder Technologies, Wanda‘s face had turned pale as her hand trembled around her phone.
The subordinate she sent to order the headstone was caught.
She used her connections in the police force to get more intel, but she found nothing.
She was filled with uneasiness.
She had thought that nothing could go wrong if the headstone was ordered out in the middle of nowhere with no surveillance cameras in sight.
She was careless!
This case struck Elyette right where it hurt the most, so he would see this matter to the end no matter what he had to pay.
Now that her subordinate was in his hands, it was only a matter of time before they find out she was behind this.
Wanda let out a heavy sigh, then pulled out her phone to book flight tickets so she could flee the country.
When the landline on her desk rang, she trembled with fear as she answered the call.
“Madam Tate, Elyette Foster from Sterling Group is here with a bunch of people.
He said he wants to see you.”
The secretary gulped, then said, “Are you coming down, or should I send him up?”
Wanda‘s teeth chattered as she struggled to answer, “Send security up to my office.
Let him come up once security is here.
.”
Moments later, Elyette arrived?
ga‘s office before security could make it there.
Wanda had already composed herself and was trying her best to maintain the calm expression on her face.
Before she could say a word, Elyette‘s bodyguard placed the headstone in front of her, then yanked her out of her seat and pushed her down on her knees!”
“Elyette Foster!
Let‘s talk about this!
There‘s no need for violence!”
Wanda was terrified into confusion.
“It‘s true that I was the one who sent someone to order the headstone!
You were the ones who forced my daughter Cassandra to her death, so I could not let that go!
Even so, I have nothing to do with your child‘s critical condition!”
Elyette stared coldly at Wanda as she argued, then said menacingly,” I‘m going to use your skull to grind this headstone to dust.”
Wanda screamed in horror, then cried, “I know Charlie Tierney!
We‘re planning on working together!
I know he‘s got something on you.
Are you planning to just let that be?
If you let me live, then I‘ll help you deal with him!”
The bloodthirsty hatred in Elyette‘s eyes was slowly overtaken by reason.
He did not want to be threatened by Charlie, nor did he want to let Chelsea get away.
This was because he did not want to disappoint Averie!
Perhaps Wanda could be a useful pawn.
Elyette dismissed his bodyguard.
Moments later, he and Wanda were the only ones left in the room.
“My life is in your hands now, Elyette.
I‘ll definitely listen to everything you say.”
Wanda‘s eyes were filled with tears and she looked pitiful.
“Trust Capital is going to invest in me.
I‘ll have a lot of interactions with him from now on.”
Elyette sat down on the leather swivel chair, then fixed his dangerous eyes on her and said,” Charlie has a maroon box with him that belongs to me.
