"I'm here to give you money," Avery said, "I need you to help me do something. If you do what I say, I'll pay you. You can name your price."
Cole never thought that he would be useful to her.
"Money is a small matter. Actually, Nora and I are not even acquaintances. I only flirted with her back then because I
thought she was you..."
Although he did not explicitly say if he would help her or not, his intentions were clear.
"How much money did your company make last year?" Avery asked nonchalantly.
Cole scratched his head awkwardly. "A few hundred thousand! I know I'm not capable. What I earn in a year is less than what my uncle earns in a day."
"Cole, I'll give you one and a half million." Avery interrupted him, "If you can accept this price, we'll continue our discussion."
"Avery, with how well we know each other, even if you don't pay me, I'll still help you!" Cole adjusted his glasses, hiding the delight in him.
One and a half million, of course, he would take it.
"I still haven’t forgotten the time when you helped Zoe to hurt me," Avery warned him," If you dare to betray me this time..."
"Avery, it was hard for me too! Back then, Zoe was pregnant with my uncle's child. How could I dare to disobey her?"
The moment Cole mentioned this, memories came flooding Avery's mind again.
"Cole, do you think that since Zoe is dead, no one will know about the secrets between you two?" Avery changed her mind. "Don't think about the one and a half million dollars anymore. If you help me to do it, I'll help you keep your secret. If not, I'll tell your uncle about how you had an affair with Zoe. Do you believe me that he'll send you to hell to be with Zoe?"
Cole's face turned pale.
"Don’t be too pessimistic about it. If you do things well, I'll consider rewarding you too. If you ruin it, you won't get anything." Avery's tone calmed down a little.
"Avery, you have changed." Cole's expressions darkened. He said heavily, " You are no longer the innocent woman I once knew. You have become like Chelsea.
In front of you, I feel like a small ant."
