Elyette picked up the cigarette case from the table and pulled out a cigarette.
“You sure are brave to send your bodyguard to take Averie Tate off the mountain and stay behind by yourself.”
Seeing how at ease Elyette was, Roger greatly admired his courage.
“I heard you got your pilot to fly your jet over last night. What? Are you planning an escape?” Elyette asked in a deep voice as he held the cigarette between his fingers.
“What would happen to me if you really died here today, Elyette?” Roger asked curiously.
Elyette let out a light chuckle.
“If I die, then, of course, I’m taking you with me! You should be asking what would happen to your descendants if I died here today.”
Roger’s expression instantly darkened.His bodyguards immediately surrounded Elyette and glared murderously at him.
“By the way, your jet won’t be able to fly out of Mount Sierra,” Elyette said casually without paying attention to the bodyguards at all.
“Things are no longer as backward as your father’s time.Whether it’s information technology or all kinds of weapons, they’ve all advanced greatly.If anything happens to even one of the people who showed up here this time, the entire Goldstein family will go down.You actually wanted to blow us all up? Did you take too many supplements messed up your head? Roger was trembling with rage from being reprimanded, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“Go on, then.Who was the one who gave you such an absurd idea? “
Elyette glanced at his watch and said, “You’re running out of time.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?!” Roger gulped nervously.
“Don’t tell me you’ve sent people over?! I didn’t do anything!”
Elyette laughed coldly, then snapped his cigarette in half and said, “Don’t provoke me if you don’t have the guts to go against me! I don’t have the best temper.Is this the first day you’ve known me?! “
“You’re too arrogant, Elyette.My father told me that you were going to be an influential person in Aryadelle before he died.I can’t believe he got it right.”
Roger sighed and said, “I wouldn’t risk my family’s lives on a gamble.This is my fault.I’ll pay the consequences.”
“Spill it! Who told you to do this?!” Elyette demanded.
Roger was slightly afraid of him, but was unwilling to give in.
“Didn’t I already say I wasn’t going to blow you all up? If I broke the law, then let the law deal with me.There’s no need for you to be so domineering! I’m still older than you, after all!”
Elyette’s face instantly turned unusually ominous.
“It’s someone you know.Someone close to you.Go and find out for yourself! ” Roger said.
He felt the suffocating tension in the room, then got up and hurried out.
At that moment, a crowd had gathered in the courtyard of Villa de Sierra.
Helicopters were flying in the villa’s direction and nobody had a clue about what was going on.
Roger’s face paled with terror when he saw this.
He lifted his wrist and checked the time.
It had only been less than half an hour between the time Elyette sent his bodyguard and Averie Tate off the mountain and when the rescue squad arrived! Elyette walked over to Roger’s side with his phone in his hand and said in a voice that sounded like it came from the very depths of hell, ‘’Get on your knees and apologize to everyone here.”
Otherwise, I’m blowing up your villa!”
At the bottom of the mountain, the uneasiness in Averie’s heart finally calmed down after she looked up to see the approaching helicopters.
At that moment, her phone rang and she immediately answered the call.
“I’m safe, Averie.”
Elyette’s deep voice came through the phone.
“About this morning—”
“Let’s talk when we meet.”
Averie’s voice was trembling uncontrollably.
“It’s a good thing you’re alright.You almost scared me to death, Elyette.”
Elyette heard the hurt in her voice and said, “Everything’s alright now.I’m coming to see you now.”
After the call ended, Averie lifted her hand and wiped her tears away.
The bodyguard wanted to console her and calm her down, but ended up saying, ‘Mr.Foster isn’t dead! I hate seeing women cry and whine.”
Averie looked up at him with teary eyes and asked, “Why weren’t you worried that something would happen to him? You seemed really composed the entire time.”
The bodyguard chuckled bitterly and said, “This was nothing.There’ve been countless assassination attempts on Mr.Foster, and many of them were far more dangerous than this.Since you’ve decided to stay with him, then you’d better prepare yourself for assassination attempts, too.”
Averie was taken aback.
The bodyguard was also taken aback when he saw the silent shock on her face.
“Could I have scared Averie into breaking up with Elyette? “On second thought, she isn’t worthy of Elyette if she can’t handle this much trouble,” thought the bodyguard.
“Not only would your life be in danger, but your children’s lives would also be in danger, too.You’ve read the news, right? I’m sure I don’t have to tell you the stories about the countless children of wealthy families who were abducted, right?” said the bodyguard.
Averie was speechless.
When Elyette arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he saw Averie’s pale expression.
It seemed like she had not gotten over what just happened.
“You got quite a fright this morning, didn’t you?” He pulled her slender body into his arms.
“I was afraid that they would use you to blackmail me.I’d act on impulse if that happened.”
Averie nodded and asked, “Do you get assassination attempts often, Elyette?”
“Why are you asking something like that so suddenly? This wasn’t an assassination attempt.Goldstein was deluded into wanting to blow up everyone in the villa.If that happened, then Aryadelle would undergo a complete change.He thought that he would be able to control the country’s economy when that happens, but it was a ridiculously idiotic idea!”
“Why would he think of something this terrifying?”
“He’s an idiot.Someone else was controlling him behind the scenes.”
“Who?” Averie felt a shiver run down her spine.
“He refused to give me a name.All he said was that it was someone close to me.I’ll look into it when I get back.”
Elyette took Averie’s hand and helped her into the car.
“Let’s head home for now.Do you still remember what we talked about last night?”
“Did we do anything else apart from sleep last night?”
Elyette gazed deeply at Averie and said, “You’re still upset about this morning.”
“Act all you want, but why did you have to have your hand around that woman?”
Averie was settling the earlier score.
“Do you think you’re the only one who can act? I’m a pretty good actress myself.If you told me there was danger and asked me to pretend to get into a fight with you, I probably would’ve been able to give a much more entertaining performance.Did you really have to use that woman to provoke me?”
Seeing her upset, Elyette lowered his head and explained, “I was frantic at the time.I was worried that you’d get dragged into things and I wanted to get you out of there as soon as possible.I wasn’t thinking straight.”
Averie accepted his explanation.
“Don’t do it again.If you ever hold another woman again, then you’re never touching me again.”
Elyette wrapped his arm around her waist and swore, “I won’t.”
