Hayden hung up. Mike wanted to laugh but he saw Layla’s lost yet adorable look. He suppressed his
urge to laugh.
When they returned home, Avery held onto Layla’s hand. Before she could say what she wanted to say,
Layla took action first.
“Mommy, do you think I’m cute?”
“You are cute! You’re the cutest kid in the entire world.”
“Then, when I become a big star, I’ll give you all the money I earn, okay? I told Hayden I’ll give him half
just now, but he doesn’t want it.” Layla’s eyes sparkled spiritedly.
Avery’s mind blanke instantly.
It looked like she could not get through to Layla, she could only look for Eric and talk with him. Avery sent
a message expressing her disagreement with Layla to join the entertainment industry.
Half an hour later, Eric replied, (Layla might be young, but we should respect her choice. The
entertainment industry is not as scary as you think. I will protect her. I’ll make sure she won’t get hurt.
Please trusted me.)
Avery failed to talk to him either. She was deep in thoughts. If she were to respect Layla’s decision and
continue to let Layla work in the entertainment industry, Elliot would surely be mad. Avery did not want to
fight with him, but neither did she not want to force her daughter to obey her just because of him.
After thinking it through, Avery fell deeplyge asleep.
A week later, because the Tate Industries’ drones were at an irreplaceable position in Aryadelle, a few
leaders came to inspect that day.
Avery received the notice three days ago. Initially, it was agreed that the vice president would
accompany them touring around the company because her tummy was huge, and it was hard for her to
move around. However, the vice president had a high fever that day because he was too nervous.
Avery had to do it herself in the end. She made up lightly and tied her hair up. She wore a light blue long-
sleeved dress. It was elegant and proper.
The leaders were arriving at ten in the morning. She waited for them on the ground floor at half-past
nine.
Ten minutes later, a red BNW stopped at the entrance of the office. Avery saw Zoe coming out of the car.
She was a little surprised.
Ever since the last time she got Zoe to spit out the 300 million dollars, they have never contacted each
other ever since. There was no need to contact each other, so she could not understand Zoe’s reason for
coming over.
Zoe did not expect that Avery was right in the lobby, so before she was in front of Avery, she said loudly,
“Avery Tate! Come out!”
Avery subconsciously headed outside. The secretary reminded, “Miss Tate. They’ll be here in twenty
minutes.”
Avery said, “I’ll be back soon.”
She walked over to Zoe.
“Avery, you have already taken Elliot away! Why do you have to take Cole away too! I’m pregnant with
his child! I have already planned to spend the rest of my life with him! Why won’t you let me go! Do you
want me to die then only you’ll be happy?!”
Zoe said with reddened eyes. Before Avery could react, she reached out and grabbed Avery’s hair.
Avery reflexively reached out to defend. “Zoe, what nonsense are you talking about! Cole and I have
long cut ties! Why would I want him!”
