Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777 

"He said that he has something to hold against you, but he won‘t use it thoughtlessly because he needs to reserve it for the right timing," Wanda said hastily, "as for what‘s the right timing that he was talking about, I have no idea. Charlie is a sly man. I haven‘t known him for long, so he doesn‘t really trust me. But we are content with our partnership so just give me more time and I will find a way to get that box back to you." 

"You already know that the box contains something that would post a threat to me; why would you give it back to me should you ever get your hands on the box?" Elliot said sarcastically.

Wanda froze. Her mind went blank as she dazedly tried to think back to what she had just said. Why did Elliot sound as though he had been provoked? 

"I just wanted to know if Charlie has the box. Now that it‘s confirmed that he does, you are useless to me," Elliot gritted out coldly, "Wanda Tate, whatever you are plotting, I know everything." 

Wanda was scared senseless at merely the sound of his voice. 

"Elliot! I am not plotting anything! I wouldn‘t dare to! My nemesis is Avery, not you! Your business and your life have nothing to do with me..." 

"Avery is a part of my life," he interrupted her and said, "Cole was the one who got your daughter killed; Jack Tate was the one who drafted the will and left Tate Industries to Avery‘s hands. The only reason you see Avery as your nemesis is because you have been so used to bullying her that your jealousy has consumed you when you see that she was doing better than  you."

Wanda‘s hand on her phone started to tremble. 

"I won‘t kill you now," Elliot drawled, his tone powerful and intimidating, "because death would free you; whereas keeping you alive means you remain tortured. I will make it so that you beg for the sweet release of death in the end." 

Wanda‘s blood ran cold. "Elliot Foster, don‘t forget that I was the one who brought you and Avery together to begin with! I was her step–mother! I was her family for over twenty years!" 

"You killed your mother. I won‘t give you the pleasure of a happy ending," he said, before hanging up collapsed onto her seat.

Though Elliot had said that he wouldn‘t kill her for the time being, her fear had only grown.
