Avery took the contract and looked straight at the asking price.
Forty million dollars!
That was the amount Elliot had first bought the building for.
He would lose money if he sold Tate Tower to Avery at this price!
In the span of four years, one could get a decent interest from putting forty million in a deposit account at a bank.
“What does he mean by this?” Avery asked in confusion.
“I believe Mr. Foster decided to sell the building to you at the original price due to the fact that you were once married,” explained the lawyer.
“I don’t need him to do me this favor. I heard that the building is worth around a hundred and twenty million dollars based on its current market price,” Avery said. “I won’t allow him to sell the building to me at a loss. I’ll give him a hundred million dollars for it.”
“I’ll give Mr. Foster a call and ask,” said the lawyer.
“There’s no need for that. Just take the contract back and change the price. We’ll just sign it ourselves. I no longer have any connection to him. He’s a businessman; profit is the priority. He won’t give you trouble for it.”
After a moment’s consideration, the lawyer nodded and said, “In that case, I’ll contact you again once the new contract is ready.”
“Alright,” Avery replied.
Over at Angela Special Needs Academy, a tragedy was playing out in the splendid, castle-like building
“Stop crying! I’ll stop being nice if you don’t stop!”
“Exactly! Your parents died in a car crash last month! They may have paid us thirty years’ worth of your fees, but nobody would ever come see you again! If you don’t quiet down, then you can forget about having lunch and dinner today!”
The sound of harsh yelling intermingled with the weeping of a girl. Hayden walked by the room and took a peek inside.
In it was a teenage girl with cerebral palsy who was unable to fend for herself.
The nursing staff were chastising her for getting her breakfast on her clothes.
Hayden took a seat on the floor and booted his laptop.
His fingers began to clack away expertly at the keyboard.
Soon after, the nursing staff’s terrified screams came from the room behind him.
“Why did the roomba suddenly run into me?!”
“I don’t know! Huh? Why is the microwave lighting up?!”
“That’s creepy! Is this place haunted? Ahhh!”
Both nurses instantly ran out of the room, and the roomba ran right after them!
Hayden yawned lazily, then shut his laptop.
The moment he stood up, he was met with a pair of pure, beautiful eyes.
The owner of those eyes was a beautiful woman.
She had a hime haircut and was wearing a pink puffy dress.
She looked like a fairy who had mistakenly wandered into the human realm.
”You’re so cool, Big Brother! Can you get me out of here?” Shea Foster blinked her heartbreaking, wide eyes and said helplessly, “They want to open up my brain… It’s going to hurt for sure… I’m so scared…”
Hayden’s brows furrowed.
This woman looked at least thirty years old!
Yet she was calling him “Big Brother”! From the looks of it, she was mentally no older than three!
Elliot was in his study at the mansion, passing some documents to Zoe.
“She is physically weaker than the average woman, and she is autistic, but apart from that, there is nothing wrong with her,” said Elliot. “I was hoping that her I would be a little higher so that she is a little more aware of the world around her.”
“Mr. Foster, is your sister enrolled in Angela Special Needs Academy?”
Elliot replied, “Yeah.”
“Can I meet her?” asked Zoe. “I need to talk to her. After that, I will conduct a full medical examination.”
Elliot raised his head and said, “Sure.”
Zoe looked at the time. “Let’s go!”
“Miss Sanford, we should discuss payment!”
They had not once talked about payment after Chelsea had brought her over.
Zoe smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about payment yet. I won’t charge you a penny if I can’t cure your sister. We can talk about payment after I cure her.”
Elliot noted that the freest service tended to be the most expensive.
He preferred that the other party state their price upfront.
“How do you deal with Chelsea? It must affect your work to come back to the country.”
Zoe replied, “Mr. Foster, I’m here on vacation. I have just finished a major project, so I’m taking two months off work.”
Elliot said, “I should give you a deposit first!”
Zoe noted his insistence. Finally, she caved in and said, “Alright, I will give you my bank details. Do what you will with that!”
He stopped frowning.
Elliot and Zoe hopped into the car at ten that morning. They were headed toward Angela Special Needs Academy.
At that moment, Angela Special Needs Academy was a mess.
Shea Foster was missing!
Elliot had hired the person responsible for her care. She used to be a nanny at the Foster family.
She was loyal to the Fosters, and she took care of Shea.
She was frightened when Shea went missing!
Shea had always been a good girl. She would not go anywhere without the company of her nanny.
Shea’s nanny had instantly informed the academy when she had discovered that Shea had gone missing The authorities instantly got all their staff to search the entire academy.
Meanwhile, they headed toward the security room to check the security footage.
For some reason, there was no footage to be found as there was a system error! “I called for maintenance!” A member of the security staff said. “The footage suddenly blacked out half an hour ago. We tried everything, but we couldn’t get it back on.”
The headmaster looked severe when he asked, “Will anything happen to the data?”
A member of the security shook his head and said, “We don’t know what’s the reason for the blackout. If it’s just an ordinary system error, the footage won’t be affected. I’m afraid this might be an intentional attack.”
