Tammy was frantically sending signals at Avery with her eyes, but all Avery could think about was the relationship between Elliot and Jun.
"Miss Tate, the reason why I never told you that I knew Elliot was because I did not want to make you feel troubled," Jun began to explain himself with a smile. "You didn't exactly get along well before this. I didn't mean to hide it from you... I really do want to buy your father's company."
Tammy moved her phone under the table and sent Avery a text.
Tammy: [Don't listen to him, Avery! Elliot Foster is the one who wants to buy Tate Industries! It's Elliot Foster! ] 1
Avery glanced at her phone on the table and opened up the text.
She read it and gazed coldly at Jun. "Did you tell Elliot about your interest in buying my company?" she asked.
Jun's warm smile remained on his face as he said, "I did. I asked for his opinion and he told me it was worth a try. As I told you before, I've been looking for investment opportunities ever since I graduated college."
Avery received yet another text from Tammy: [He's
lying! He's just Elliot Foster's pawn!] 1
Her heart tightened as she continued to interrogate Jun.
"Did you really get the money from your father? Does he have time to meet up tomorrow? I'd like to talk to him."
Jun turned pale as he responded, "I borrowed the money! I didn't tell you because I was embarrassed..."
"Who lent you the money?" Avery pried.
Elliot, who was sitting in silence throughout the entire conversation, finally spoke up. 1
"I did," he said.
Tammy sent Avery another text: [They're both lying! Elliot Foster is Mr. Z! Jun told me himself just now! You have to expose them right now!] 1
Avery had one hand clenched tightly around her phone and the other gripping her glass of water.
Her face was rid of color, and her lips were pale from her biting down on them.
Elliot was Mr. Z.
He wanted to use Jun's name to buy out Tate Industries. 1
No matter what his objectives were, Elliot's actions left a bad taste in her mouth.
Why did he not make the offer himself?
