"Is Avery worth that much?" Jun asked, slightly shocked.
"She's worth that much because she's my wife," Elliot said as an icy chill rose in his eyes. "If she were not married to me, Charlie Tierney wouldn't bother with any of this."
Jun was even more confused than before.
"If he wants to give Avery the money, then let him!
Isn't this just him throwing free money at her?"
"She's my wife!" Elliot snapped. 2
"Oh, okay... I get it. What do you plan on doing? Increase our offer? She will definitely go with Tierney's offer if we don't."
"Not necessarily."
"If that's the case, then why are you so upset?" 1
Jun could tell from Elliot's tone that his emotions were all over the place.
Elliot wanted to acquire Tate Industries so that Avery could be free of its debt and troubles. 2
She was still in college, and she lacked the knowledge and experience when it came to running a company.
It would be better for her to sell the company, pay off the debt, and make some money while she was at it.
That way, her and her mother's lives would be much smoother moving forward. 1
Elliot came to this decision after considering every aspect, but she did not appreciate any of his efforts. 3
If Avery accepted Charlie's investment, he would definitely hold the reins to the running of the company in the end. 2
"I admire you, Jun. Nobody loves you, and you have nobody to love, so you don't have to get your heartbroken," Elliot teased. 1
"I got a girlfriend today!" Jun responded enthusiastically. "I met her on a blind date. Our fathers know each other, so it's pretty much a solid match." 1
"That's good. Let me meet her once things are stable," Elliot said.
"Sure!" Jun said, then added, "Anyway, I think you can talk to Avery about this whole thing. She actually has a mind of her own." 1
"Go see your girlfriend!" Elliot snapped.
Just the sound of Avery's name gave him a headache.
