"What does Roger Goldstein have against Elliot? Is there some kind of grudge
between them? If so, then why did Elliot come here?"
Avery found the entire thing slightly strange.
"They had some drinks together the last time they met." The bodyguard's
expression was serious. "That's the world of the wealthy for you. They're friends one day, and possibly arch-nemeses the next. It's all about profit, not relationships."
Avery gazed up at the mountain worriedly.
She suddenly recalled how Elliot had received a text message in the middle of the night.
"Could this have something to do with that message?" she wondered.
Back up on the mountain, Elliot was led to Roger Goldstein's room by Roger's niece.
Roger narrowed his sly eyes as he stared at Elliot.
"I underestimated you, Elliot!" he exclaimed. "Who did you hear the news from?"
Elliot picked up the cigarette case from the table and pulled out a cigarette.
"You sure are brave to send your bodyguard to take Avery Tate off the mountain and stay behind by yourself." Seeing how at ease Elliot was, Roger greatly admired his courage.
"I heard you got your pilot to fly your jet over last night. What? Are you planning an escape?" Elliot asked in a deep voice as he held the cigarette between his fingers.
"What would happen to me if you really died here today, Elliot?" Roger asked curiously.
Elliot let out a light chuckle. "If I die, then, of course, I'm taking you with me! You should be asking what would happen to your descendants if I died here today.”
Roger's expression instantly darkened.
His bodyguards immediately surrounded Elliot and glared murderously at him.
At that moment, a crowd had gathered in the courtyard of Villa de Sierra.
Helicopters were flying in the villa's direction and nobody had a clue about what was going on.
Roger's face paled with terror when he saw this.
It had only been less than half an hour between the time Elliot sent his bodyguard and Avery Tate off the mountain and when the rescue squad arrived!
Elliot walked over to Roger's side with his phone in his hand and said in a voice that sounded like it came from the very depths of hell, "Get on your knees and apologize to everyone here. Otherwise, I'm blowing up your villa!"
At the bottom of the mountain, the uneasiness in Avery's heart finally calmed down after she looked up to see the approaching helicopters.
At that moment, her phone rang and she immediately answered the call.
