His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 280

She had never truly considered settling the matter in private. She had simply said that to give Wanda hope so that she could take it away a day later. Avery wanted her to taste what it was like to suffer. 1

"Very well! Avery, very well!" Wanda was so angry that her lips trembled. "I didn't want to pay fifty billion, to begin with! It's not like my money comes easy!"

"Well, let's hope that your brother won't haunt you when he dies," Avery said sarcastically. "I wonder how you two split the twenty billion you stole from us." 2

Wanda could feel her blood raging in her.

"Avery Tate... Just you wait... I won't let you off easy... My brother and my daughter... I will take revenge for them!"

"Oh, you want to send someone to assassinate me? Aryadelle's surveillance network and the police force's investigation skills have long surpassed the levels of what they were five years ago. I would recommend thinking it through. Think of whether you can handle the consequences of harming another human being," said Avery. "After all, murder and contracting an assassin are both punishable by death in Aryadelle!"

The blood drained from Wanda's face, and she hung up.

Laura looked at Avery. "Is Wanda still as arrogant as she was?"

"She has opened up a cosmetic company overseas which earned her a fortune."

Laura lowered her gaze wordlessly.

"Mom, she opened that company with the money her brother stole." Avery knew what her mother was thinking and said, "It doesn't matter how good she is at running a business, nothing is going to cover up the fact that she was the one who got Dad killed and left Tate Industries in a state of bankruptcy! She will get what's coming for her!"

Laura nodded. "It was karma that her daughter died at such a young age. Avery, all I ever wanted is for you to be well. I don't care about the money."

That night, Chad called Mike to invite him out for a drink.

Mike was at home at the time and Avery immediately turned to look at him when he answered Chad's call.

Mike had too much to drink the night before and had decided to have dinner at home, but he could not seem to turn Chad down.

"Didn't you drink last night? Why are you drinking again?" Mike said while glancing at Avery guiltily.

"What, you can't?" Chad challenged him.
