Chelsea's smile disappeared. "You've never had eyes for me, have you?"
Elliot replied, "Find someone who does." 5
Chelsea turned around and left. 2
In the evening, Chelsea was unhappy and asked Charlie out for a drink.
Charlie noticed that she was dispirited, and he said impolitely, "No man will like you when you look like this."
Chelsea's eyes were red with anger. "I'm tired enough in public! Do I still need to put on an act in my own home?!" 1
Charlie poured her a glass of wine, comforting her," Chelsea, we're still not on the same page as siblings. If you listen to me, you'll get everything."
Chelsea gulped down the wine and asked him with bloodshot eyes, "Can I get Elliot?"
Charlie wrapped his long arms around her, leaned closer, and whispered in her ear, "You can't get him alive, but if he's dead, I can give you his ashes. This means you have him indirectly. How about that? "
Chelsea's face immediately dropped, and she pushed him away!
"Charlie! Are you f*cking crazy?! If you dare touch Elliot, you're my enemy!"
Bang!
Charlie slammed into the table behind him, and there was a sharp pain in his lower back. He hunched over, unable to straighten up.
"Charlie! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" Chelsea helped him up and apologized guiltily, "I didn't mean to
quarrel with you... but Elliot's my bottom line. Don't be his enemy!"
"He's already an enemy..." Charlie gasped in pain. "He wants to take out three hundred million to invest in Tate Industries. Chelsea, do you think Tate Industries is worth three hundred million? He's provoking me!" 1
Chelsea froze.
"Are you serious? Why didn't I hear the news?"
"Because he doesn't trust you. Also, he deliberately asked someone to tell me the news. I guess he and Avery had a private conversation." Charlie slowly sat down on the sofa with a painful expression. Then, he said, "Chelsea, get me some medicine."
Chelsea went to the medicine cabinet, but her thoughts had drifted. Perhaps, Elliot and Avery would never get a divorce. Chelsea had never seen Elliot care so much for a woman. In fact, Elliot's every act toward Avery was better than how he had treated her for the past ten years.
