Chapter 155
Hayden did not respond to Layla’s words, but a firm conviction materialized in his mind.
He had to become stronger and more powerful!
He had to protect his sister, his mother, and his grandmother!
On Monday, Avery met Elliot’s lawyer.
Once the divorce paperwork was dealt with, the lawyer said to Avery, “Miss Tate, I’ve prepared the contract for the building you want to purchase.”
Avery was taken aback, then asked, “He entrusted that to you?”
The lawyer nodded, then pulled out the contract from his briefcase and said, “Please take a look. What’s important is the price.”
Avery took the contract and looked straight at the asking price.
Forty million dollars!
That was the amount Elliot had first bought the building for.
He would lose money if he sold Tate Tower to Avery at this price!
In the span of four years, one could get a decent interest from putting forty million in a deposit account at a bank.
“What does he mean by this?” Avery asked in confusion.
“I believe Mr. Foster decided to sell the building to you at the original price due to the fact that you were once married,” explained the lawyer.
“I don’t need him to do me this favor. I heard that the building is worth around a hundred and twenty million dollars based on its current market price,” Avery said. “I won’t allow him to sell the building to me at a loss. I’ll give him a hundred million dollars for it.”
“I’ll give Mr. Foster a call and ask,” said the lawyer.
“There’s no need for that. Just take the contract back and change the price. We’ll just sign it ourselves. I no longer have any connection to him. He’s a businessman; profit is the priority. He won’t give you trouble for it.”
After a moment’s consideration, the lawyer nodded and said, “In that case, I’ll contact you again once the new contract is ready.”
“Alright,” Avery replied.
Over at Angela Special Needs Academy, a tragedy was playing out in the splendid, castle-like building
