Avery was not charging Dean any money because she wanted to directly make a deal with Bobby.
Bobby never expected that Avery would say that to him. He was stunned.
"I heard your father say that you are his most precious son. Your family has such a huge business. He initially wanted you to take over because you are his smartest and most capable son. Looking at you now, he is extremely heartbroken. If you can recover, he would surely put you back in charge," Avery lay out his options in front of him, "You surely want to go back to your original life, right?"
Bobby hesitated for a while and asked," What do you want? Do you think a cripple like me can satisfy your conditions?"
"I'm going to take a bet. You are Dean's most important son. If you can't do it, no one else can."
"What do you want?"
"I want to know where Elliot Foster is."
"Hah! I don't know!" Bobby answered without even thinking. "I don't know Elliot!
I have never met him. I won't even know where he is. What makes you think I know anything about his whereabouts?"
"I never said that you would know where he is," said Avery, correcting his
assumption. "But your father might know where he is."
"Even if he knows, I won't be able to help you gather such important pieces of information!" Bobby swallowed. His voice was hoarse. "You really don't understand my father! Just because he said that I'm his most important son, you believed him?" "Why not? He is your father. You are his eldest son. Parents usually favor their eldest son," Avery said.
"How comical!" Bobby looked at Avery condescendingly, as if he was looking at a fool. "Do you think that all parents in the world love their own children? You must have never met terrible people before, right? You naive and idiotic woman!"
Avery blushed in the face of his anger. A wave of raging anger flared up in her, but considering what happened to Bobby, she could understand the change in his temperament, so she did not fight with him.
"Watch your mouth! Miss Tate is now your doctor. If you can agree to her conditions, just agree to them. If you can't just say no! Don't waste her precious time!" Avery's bodyguard's tone was rough
