Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771

 Seeing the determination in Layla‘s eyes, Hayden simply said, "good luck." 

Meanwhile, Cole stood in front of the office window and watched as the neon lights lit up the city. The bustling night view outside signaled the start of the night life. 

Had it been any time before, he would have left the office and headed out to enjoy the night scene; but today, he wasn‘t in the mood. He had been forced into bankruptcy by his own uncle and would be bearing a tremendous amount of debt. He did regret what he had done, but mostly, he resented it all. He had been leading a comfortable life as Elliot‘s nephew, and yet, it was as easy as killing a bug for Elliot to crush him. 

For the past few days, Cole watched his own father called Elliot countless times, begging for mercy in order to salvage the situation. His father had hoped that Elliot would forgive him for the sake of their kinship, but Elliot would either refuse the call or transfer the call to his assistant.

‘Elliot is merciless! My own mother had already died and I just want to live my life in peace. Why do I have to bear such a high debt? It‘s worse than killing me,‘ he thought. 

An unknown period of time had passed before the door was opened and Henry stepped in. 

"Leave now! Starting tomorrow, this will no longer be your company," Henry said coldly," your uncle might be ruthless, but you are ungrateful! I wouldn‘t have been affected if you weren‘t my son, and I wouldn‘t have to clean up after a murderer like you!" 

"Dad, I know that I‘ve made terrible mistakes, but it‘s already happened. What‘s the point of scolding me now?" Cole turned around to face his father. "I am on the wrong path because you fail at parenting." 

Henry‘s lips trembled as he was rendered speechless. 

The two left the company and returned home with red eyes. 

The servants served dinner at the table, but Henry had no appetite. He only felt like drinking. 

"Let‘s sell this mansion! This is the only property I own that‘s worth something. Sell the mansion and clear your debt. After that you are no longer my concern," Henry said as he poured wine into his own glass.
