Chelsea grinned. “I believe you can do it. Once it’s done, I will sweeten the pot for you even more.”
Wanda laughed. “Averie must have already found out about this, and I can even picture her looking furious as ever. She is just a pretty face with no skills at all. She only managed to get this far by depending on men; now that we have taken the spine of her company, she has nothing left but a pile of rotten meat!”
In Tate Industries, Averie hurried back as soon as she landed. She had not slept for over twelve hours and was looking tormented with her eyes red.
In the meeting room, all managers sat quietly and held their breath as Averie strode into the room with a cold expression and an intimidating aura surrounding her.
She sat down in the president’s seat and was about to speak, when a sharp pain shot up her stomach. She curled up with her hands on her abdomen in sweat and muttered, “it hurts… My belly… It hurts so much…”
Her secretary immediately helped her up while Shaun called an ambulance.
Once Averie was taken to the hospital, the news of it somehow spread like wildfire right away.
“It looks like Tate Industries is really in a crisis this time! Averie Tate was all high and mighty before and now she has to be carried away by an ambulance. How pathetic!”
“Isn’t the baby she’s carrying suffering the most? I heard that it’s Elyette Foster’s, is it true?”
“Who knows? Apart from the one she is carrying, she has two other kids… Those two are definitely not Elyette Foster’s, or he would have fought for their custody.”
“Averie sure has a chaotic personal life! All things aside, Tate Industries is doomed this time! With their core technology stolen, how could they continue to sell their products at such a high price from now on? She will soon lose the throne in the high-end market!”
“It’s a good thing for the consumer, though.”
“But it’s fatal damage to Averie! It’s no wonder that she passeded out!”
When Wanda caught the news, she opened a bottle of wine cheerfully and took out the photo of her daughter Cassandra from thege drawer.
“Cassandra, I won’t let you die in vain,” she said to the photo, “putting Averie through bankruptcy is merely the first step. I will make her wish that she could just die! I will make it so that she eagerly takes her own life from the pain, just like Zoe dia!”
With that, she raised her glass and took a sip.
“Of course, I haven’t forgotten about that bast*rd Elyette! Let them all go to hell!” She said as her eyes glammed with cold viciousness,
Just then, someone knocked on the door and the door was pushed open.
“Madam Tate, there has been a breakthrough in the technical department! They should be able to crack the code in the microchip in no time!” Her assistant strode in with good news.
Wanda sighed a breath of relief. “There’s a grand reward waiting for all of you once it has been successfully decoded!”
“Congratulation, Madam Tate! Soon, Wonder Technologies will surpass Tate Industries and before the number one company in the field for drones all across Aryadelle!” The assistant said, before turning to look at the photo on the office desk. “Who is that woman in the photo, Madam Tate? She looks so beautiful.”
The smile on Wanda’s face faded as she picked up the photo. “This is my daughter. If only she was still alive, she would be so happy to see how I’ve surpassed her father. It’s a shame that… Averie got her killed,”
Shocked, the assistant said, “who knew Averie Tate is such a vicious person! It’s no wonder that you hate her so much!”
Wanda put the photo back into the drawer and gritted out, “I will make her pay.”
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
After being rushed to the hospital, the doctor did a full-body check on Averie.
“Doctor, is my baby okay?” Averie’s forehead was covered with sweat, but the pain had subdued mostly. She regretted her actions, as no matter how important her company was, her child was the most important.
“Your baby is fine, Miss. Tate, but you are not,” the doctor said, “are you feeling overwhelmed by stress lately? You need to keep check of your emotions, or it will reflect on your physical condition and affect the baby’s growth.”
“I know. I will pay attention from now on.”
“We will keep you on the oxygen inhaler for now,” the doctor continued, “you will be kept under observation in the hospital for two days and will only be discharged when your condition stabilizes.”
Averie nodded
“Give your family a call to get them here and take care of you! I will go fill in the hospitalization documents for you,” the doctor said, before stepping out.
Averie felt troubled, as she wasn’t sure who to call. Just as she was about to find a care worker, her phone rang
“Averie, I heard that something went wrong with your company. Are you okay right now?” Chad contacted Averie under Elyette’s command and informed her, “Mister Foster and Mike have already bought tickets back to Aryadelle.”
“Well… Something did happen with the company,” she said, but no longer felt as emotional as she did before.
“Don’t panic. Mister Foster and Mike will help handle it once they are back,” Chad comforted her and said, “just rest well at home.”
Just then, the doctor came back with the documents and walked over to the bed. “Miss. Tate, your documents for hospitalization have been submitted.”
Chad overheard him and tensed. “What happened, Averie? Why are you hospitalized? Which hospital are you in right now? I’ll go over there right away!”
Unable to lie, Averie told him the truth.
Once she hung up, her secretary said, “I will go make the payment, Miss Tate.”
“Thank you. You can go back to the office as soon as you are done with that!”
“I can stay here to take care of you, Miss Tate.”
“It’s fine. Go back and tell the others I’m okay. I will call Shaun once I figure out what to do with the current situation.”
“Okay, Miss. Tate.”
Twenty minutes later, Chad hurried his way to the hospital. After checking on Averie’s condition, he said, “I’ve called Mrs. Cooper over to take care of you. Rest well and don’t think about anything else.”
“I feel better now,” she said calmly.
“Okay. I’ve told the bodyguards to get food. Rest after you eat,” he said.
″Okay.”
Ten hours later, Mike and Elyette returned to Aryadelle.
The moon hung high and the sky was glittered with stars when Chad went to pick them up from the airport.
Elyette told Chad to send Mike back, and Chad immediately grabbed Mike by the arm, before shoving him into the car.
Confused, Mike asked, “why is Elyette so nice to me all of a sudden? I can’t get used to it.”
“What are you thinking? It’s late, and he has his bodyguards to send him back.”
With that, Chad got onto the driver’s seat and drove towards Starry River Villa.
“Isn’t Averie in the hospital? I want to go see her first,” Mike said.
“She is sleeping now, what’s the point of you going? She seemed fine when I went to check on her earlier in the evening. Besides, Mrs. Cooper is there looking after her, so don’t worry!”
