His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1838

Avery took her phone out from her back. When she saw it was a foreign number, she hesitated for a while before answering the call.

"Hello, Miss Tate, I am the person in charge of Crystal's Auction House. I just checked our data and noticed that you were here at our auction yesterday, trying to bid for the set of jewelry for children, but due to some reason, the set of jewelry was taken off the auction. I want to explain the reason to you.

Avery was Elliot's ex-wife, and the person in charge of the auction house did not want to offend her.

"I know the reason," Avery said. "Natalie Jennings wants that set. but she didn’t

dare bid with me, so she got Elliot to step in for her to get that set."

When the person in charge heard what Avery said, he felt extremely awkward. "It was indeed as you described. My boss is an acquaintance of Mr. Foster’s. Also, Mr.

Foster personally called my boss, and my boss has to give in out of respect. But does Mr. Foster not know that you also want that set?"

"I don't want it anymore," Avery said. "You don't have to tell him about it."

"Alright, alright. I am calling you to apologize for this. I'm very sorry."

"It's fine. I don't blame you."

After the call, Avery met Layla's prying gaze.

"Mommy, what jewelry?" Avery told Layla about what happened the day before. After Layla heard Avery's recount of the events, she blew the fringe off her forehead.

"Daddy is an idiot! How could he help other women bully you? I really want to call him and scold him!"

"He doesn't know I went to the auction. He also doesn't know that I wanted the set of jewelry." Avery had already argued with Elliot about this, and she did not want to get angry about that again.

"Mommy, how could you just leave it at that! I want to get the set of jewelry back!" Layla could accept what had happened; what she could not accept was that it had been Elliot who had done it.
