Tammy gazed at Avery in astonishment.
“Exactly how much money did you make?!”
“It’s my desire to rebuild Tate Industries. It’s a wish, okay? I don’t know if I’ll succeed or not.”
Tammy felt relieved, then said, “Jun and I look like a couple of losers next to you. I’m going to have to
stay on your good side… How about I set you up with someone? I have a cousin who’s super cute. He’s
only seventeen, but he’s a good kid–”
“Stop messing with me, Tammy,” Avery said as she held her head in her hand.
“You don’t like the young ones? Do you like older men? That works, too! My personal trainer is forty this
year, but I drool every time I see his muscles… You should take him in, then make him your stay-at-
home husband…”
Avery let out a heavy sigh.
After her breakup with Elliot, she had lost all interest in men, both young and old.
Once tea was over, Avery and Tammy made their way to a car dealership.
Tammy suggested a Bonz sedan, but a Rower SUV caught Avery’s eye.
“How’s this one? It doesn’t look too bad,” Avery asked Tammy as she pointed at a sports model.
Tammy gestured at the price tag on the car, then said, “It’s perfect as long as your wallet’s fat enough! It
better be good for that price!”
Avery pulled out her credit card, then passed it to the salesperson and said, “I’ll take this one.”
She had to pick Hayden up from school later, so it would not be convenient for her to take a cab.
That evening, Avery arrived at Angela Special Needs Academy in her brand new SUV.
Hayden’s teacher led him to Avery, then said, “Hayden was great today. I had a good time
•getting to know him.”
Avery turned to her son with a surprised look on her face.
“Is that true, Hayden?”
Hayden shoved his hands into his pockets, then lightly tipped his head.
Avery was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.
She did not expect Hayden to finally pick a school.
Angela Special Needs Academy truly lived up to its name.
The school fees that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars were worth every penny.
The next morning, Avery and Fred made their way to the cafe where they were meeting Tate Tower’s
current owner.
“Did you not bring your proof of assets?” Fred asked in concern when he noticed that Avery had shown
up empty handed.
“Let’s see how much they’re asking for first.”
“They said it’d be the market price, then said we should meet up.”
Once they entered the cafe, Avery ordered a cup of coffee.
The meeting was set for ten in the morning, which is exactly when her coffee arrived at the table.
When the glass doors to the cafe slid open, Avery looked up to see two men walking in… And one of
them looked very familiar!
