When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 674
“I’m here to give you money,” Avery said, “I need you to help me do something. If you do what I say, I’ll pay you. You can name your price.”
Cole never thought that he would be useful to her.
“Money is a small matter. Actually, Nora and I are not even acquaintances. I only flirted with her back then because I thought she was you…”
Although he did not explicitly say if he would help her or not, his intentions were46 clear.
“How much money did your company make last year?” Avery asked nonchalantly.
Cole scratched his head awkwardly. “A few hundred thousand! I know I’m not capable. What I earn in a year is less than what my uncle earns in a34 day.”
“Cole, I’ll give you one and a half million.” Avery interrupted him, “If you can accept this price, we’ll continue our discussion.”
“Avery, with how well we know each other, even if you don’t pay me, I’ll still help you!” Cole adjusted his glasses, hiding the delight incd him.
One and a half million, of course, he would take it
“I still haven’t forgotten the time when you helped Zoe to hurt me,” Avery warned him, “If you dare to betray me thisge time…”
“Avery, it was hard for me too! Back then, Zoe was pregnant with my uncle’s child. How could I dare to disobey her?”
The moment Cole mentioned this, memories came flooding Avery’s mind23 again.
“Cole, do you think that since Zoe is dead, no one will know about the secrets between you two?” Avery changed her mind. “Don’t think about the one and a half million dollars anymore. If you help me to do it, I’ll help you keep your secret. If not, I’ll tell your uncle about how you had an affair with Zoe. Do you believe me that he’ll send you to hell to be with Zoe?”
Cole’s face turned pale.
“Don’t be too pessimistic about it. If you do things well, I’ll consider rewarding you too. If you ruin it, you won’t get anything.” Avery’s tone calmed down a little.
“Avery, you have changed.” Cole’s expressions darkened. He said heavily, “You are no longer the innocent woman I once knew. You have become like Chelsea. In front of you, I feel like a
small ant.”
Avery said, “Have you ever thought that everything is changing, only you are remaining in the same spot?”
Cole sweated profusely upon hearing what Avery said.
In the afternoon, Eric brought Layla to attend their entertainment program’s live stream.
The episode that night was the final episode, so the live stream was considered a bonus.
Once the live stream started, it soon climbed up the charts to be the number one live streamed program.
The live stream was based on their entertainment program. Halfway through, the host produced a card. “Layla, we gathered the three most-asked questions on the internet. I’ll ask you right now. Are you ready?”
Layla smiled and nodded. “I’m ready.”
The host asked, “Have your mother and father ever considered letting you continue in the entertainment industry? Everyone likes you very much. They hope that you can be a big star.”
Layla blinked her big eyes and said, “I don’t have a father!”
a
The host was stunned for a while.
The screen was instantly filled with comments.
[Poor Layla! Her father died at such a young age!)
[I want to be her father! It’s too bad I’m a woman!]
(Thank goodness her father has died, if not some idiot would start saying that Eric is her father!)
Layla could not see the screen, so she continued saying, “My mother loves me a lot. As long as I want to stay in the entertainment industry, she would agree to it.”
The host smiled and said, “Your mother must be very pretty, right?”
“I’ll let Uncle Eric answer this question,” Layla said cheekily, “It doesn’t count if I answer it.”
The staff there burst out in laughter.
Eric’s handsome face had a shade of blush. “Layla’s mother is indeed very pretty. I have once said that she is my goddess.”
