Chapter 1122
Avery picked up her cup of water and took a sip.
“You’re the reputable Mrs. Foster right now and I’m just a lowly Young Master of The Fosters, “Cole said self-deprecatingly, “Why are you beating around the bush with me?”
“I need to see Adrian. I have something to ask of him.” “What is it? Although he is not that stupid anymore, he still can’t care for himself. Even if I would let you see him, my father would not allow it. You are Elliot’s wife. My father and Elliot don’t see eye-to-eye.” “What eye-to-eye? You just want Elliot’s company and shares, and he wouldn’t give them to you, right?” Avery mocked. “You and your father are just greedy, asking for too much. I’m sure even until now, you two don’t see how over the line you are.”
“Avery, if this is your attitude, I’m afraid there is no point for us to continue talking.” Cole smiled and said coldly, “Do you really think of yourself as the high and mighty Mrs. Foster? This is a matter between Elliot and the Fosters. It has nothing to do with you.”
“I am Elliot’s wife, so in this matter, I am not an outsider,” Avery said calmly, “This was your grandmother’s plan. Elliot was also a victim. What right do you have to ask Elliot for the money? Furthermore, the money was given to Elliot by your grandmother, not your father. What right do you and your father have to ask Elliot for the money?”
“You only have him in your eyes. Of course, you’ll be standing on his side. My grandmother’s money was the family’s money. Also, what makes you think that the swapping of children was done by my grandmother? Bring me proof that it was my grandmother who did it,” Cole said, making things difficult, “If you can’t find proof, my father and I have reason to believe that my grandmother knew nothing about this. Everything was Nathan White’s plot.”
How was Avery going to find proof? Rosalie was dead for many years already.
“Avery, why are you looking for Adrian? I can tell you that he is doing well right now. He hasn’t been sick. He has a good appetite FQUCKELN good sleep. He probably gained some weight after living with us.” Cole was eager to know why Avery was looking for him.
However, Avery glanced at him and lowered her gaze. She pondered for a few seconds.
“Go back and help me ask your father out!” Avery’s tone was calm. “Didn’t you say it yourself? Even if you want to let me see Adrian, your father will not agree to it. Since you have no power or any say at home, I should just talk directly to your father! Once you arrange the time, let me know.”
Cole was speechless. They parted ways unhappily. Avery drove to look for Tammy. They met in a restaurant near Tammy’s place.
Tammy saw how glum Avery looked so she ordered a feast for Avery. “What’s going on? Others would usually happily go on their honeymoon and return happily, yet you returned sadly.” Tammy accepted Avery’s gift. “You two left for a week. The traveling time took about four days. Meaning you only had fun for three days.”
Avery nodded. “Something happened, so I rushed home.” “What happened?” Tammy lowered her voice, “Can’t you tell Elliot about it? Does it have something to do with him?” “It has something to do with Shea.” Avery and Tammy had been friends for a long time. She trusted Tammy very much, so she did not hide it from her. “Shea is not dead, but terribly sick. She doesn’t want us to know about it because she was afraid that we would be sad.
She is already so sick, yet she’s still worried about us.” “My God!” Tammy’s chest heaved heavily. She picked up her cup of tea and took a huge mouthful. “So, who did you go to see just now?” “Cole.” Looking at the table full of food, she said in despair, “Shea needs a kidney transplant. The match of a direct relative’s kidney would be much higher, but Henry and Cole would definitely not donate their kidney to Shea, so I could only put my hopes on Adrian.” “Didn’t you say that Adrian was like Shea, kind-hearted and obedient? Adrian would surely agree to donate his kidney to Shea, right?” “Hmm. The problem right now is I can’t see Adrian.”
