His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 772

Cole listened to his father as though he was listening to an intoxicating story. "So, is my uncle really mentally ill?"

Henry frowned and sighed. "There are different levels of severity to mental illness. Even if your uncle was ill, he had not had another episode since then. How else did he succeed afterward?"

"His business took off, but his love life did not. Avery divorced him and refused to hand over the custody of her children. Do you really think it's because they don’t love each other? Maybe she's known about his illness the entire time and decided not to be with him!" Cole guessed.

Henry considered his words thoughtfully.

"Dad, we already have nothing. We have

nothing else to lose. Even if we side with Charlie, what exactly can Elliot do to us? I don't have any more money that he can take anymore!" Cole found his

determination in desperation. "I have to work with Charlie."

Henry took his glass and drank all the wine in it.

"Tell Charlie about this, and then what?" Henry scowled. "Even if you tell everyone that Elliot murdered his own father, what’s going to happen? Back then it happened, your grandmother's first reaction was to protect him. If even your grandmother wouldn’t blame him on this, what gives anyone else the right to punish him for it? Besides, it happened too long ago!" "Dad, the reason why you are not as successful as Elliot is because you are not as ruthless as him.” Cole poured his father another glass of wine. "He has just enormous influence now and once a scandal like this gets out, it will destroy him! Charlie wouldn’t try so hard to find his weakness otherwise."

"Elliot is still my brother!"

"But he killed your wife and forced your son into bankruptcy! Do you still care that he's your brother? Is he going to take care of you when you grow old?"

Cole's words had rendered Henry speechless.

Half an hour later, Henry had too much to drink and started turning red. "Standing against him won't end well for you... I am going to retire to the country... Don’t come to me for anything from now on... It's up to you if you have a death wish... but I don't... I don't want to die..."
