When His Eyes Opened Chapter 32
Avery met with Shaun at Tate Industries over the weekend."We need to open up the safe as soon as possible, Avery," Shaun said. "Mr. Hertz has been pestering us for a decision. I don't know if I should tell him the truth or lie to him… I'm stuck because I have nothing to show for it!"Avery nodded and said, "I wrote down some numbers on a piece of paper last night. I think my father's passcode would be a combination of these numbers."Shaun took the piece of paper out of Avery's hand, glanced at the numbers, then nodded and said, "Let's give it a try now!"They entered the secret chamber, approached the safe, and began trying out possible combinations.However, things did not go as smoothly as they had hoped.After countless failed attempts, Avery frowned and let out a heavy sigh."Would Wanda know what the code is?" she said. "The code to our front door is a combination of my dad and Wanda's birthdays. He was good to her before he got sick."Shaun shook his head and said, "If

Once Shaun sent the photo to Wanda, he decided to watch over the safe all day in hopes that she might surprise him.If Wanda could crack the safe's code, then he could kick Avery out of the picture without giving her a penny.Wanda called about half an hour later and said, "I can't think of anything else other than the combinations that you've already tried, but I noticed that the date of birth written here for Laura Jensen is the one on her ID. That's not her real birthdate. Let's try again with the real one.""Alright!" Shaun responded enthusiastically.Two hours later, they had finally managed to get the safe door open.Wanda was right. Jack had used Laura's real date of birth and not the one stated on her ID.Jack had used a combination of Laura's and Avery's birthdates as the safe's passcode. The correct passcode and the family portrait in the secret chamber complimented each other.It was Jack's homage to Laura and Avery.Wanda was on a video call with Shaun, and she bu

Just as Avery entered the living room of Elliot’s mansion, she was ushered by Mrs. Cooper to sit down on the couch."Master Elliot prepared a gift for you, Madam."Mrs. Cooper opened up a white gift box on the table, revealing an exquisite white gown."Are you sure he gave this to me?" Avery said as she looked at the gown in disbelief."Yes, Madam. There's a dinner tonight that you need to go to with Master Elliot. There are shoes, too!" Mrs. Cooper explained, then opened up another box carrying a pair of fine stilettos.Avery picked up one of the heels and stared at it with apprehension."Why is he taking me? I don't know any of his friends. Isn't he worried I'd embarrass him?""I'm sure he has his reasons," Mrs. Cooper replied. "Move on from the past, Madam, and just spend the rest of your days happily with Master Elliot."Avery looked up at Mrs. Cooper and then said, "Do you think he's moved on? We still don't know what his real intentions are for taking me out tonight!""M

Avery decided to play along."It's true. He's incredibly rich. He's just old, ugly, and his body is on the verge of collapse."The crowd was scratching their heads trying to figure out who this old, ugly, and unfit bigshot was.A waiter walked over to Avery and said, "Please proceed to the second floor, Miss Tate."Avery instantly looked up.The building had an open concept, and the second-floor railing could be seen from the living room on the first floor. Elliot's bodyguard was standing by the railing and looking down at her.When the waiter escorted her away, the faces of the people in the crowd changed from one of mockery to one of awe. Those in attendance at the banquet were the creme de la creme of high society. Even the wealthy had their own form of social hierarchy. That night, the more ordinary members of the upper class were mingling amongst themselves in the banquet hall on the first floor. Those with more power over society, on the other hand, were invited t

"Madam Avery hasn't come home yet," said Mrs. Cooper. "I've been waiting in the living room the whole time and I haven't seen her all night."Elliot's eyes turned dark.If she did not come home, where could she have gone?Did she lie to him about coming home to write her thesis?"I'll give her a call right now," Mrs. Cooper said as she rushed toward the living room.On the other hand, Avery had been abducted the moment she had set foot out of Forrance Villa. She had been dragged into a car, blindfolded, and her wrists were bound. The car drove on for about an hour before coming to a halt.She was taken into a room and thrown into a chair.When her blindfold was taken off, she heard the unfamiliar voice of a strange man."Apologies, Miss Tate. We're just doing our jobs. We won't hurt you as long as you cooperate with us."Avery glanced around the white room until her eyes fell on the stranger's face.He was wearing a mask, so she could not see his features, but his voice w

Unfortunately, Avery had to use Cole as a scapegoat this time.Since Shaun had found out about the missing contents, she had to divert his attention elsewhere before things got more difficult for her. Suddenly, Avery's phone rang.The man opened her bag and pulled out her phone.The words "Foster Mansion" flashed on the phone screen."You weren't kidding! Since you're close to the Fosters, I won't keep you any longer. Go on!"The man did not want to get in trouble with the Foster family. Besides, he already did what he was paid to do.Once Avery was free, she immediately called Mrs. Cooper back."Why did you hang up just now, Madam? It's late and you're not home yet. Did something happen?" Mrs. Cooper asked.Avery glanced around her surroundings.She was in the middle of nowhere. The road was dim, and it ran through a forest. At a glance, it looked like the bloody jaws of a wild beast that were ready to gobble her up. It was terrifying."Is the driver still on the clock, Mr

"What I meant was, how are you supposed to buy me designer dresses and shoes if you do not work harder and earn more money?"Avery had changed into her house slippers, walked over to Elliot, and added, "This is my first time wearing such expensive things.""Poor you," Elliot hissed, then walked into the elevator.Avery held her tongue as she watched the elevator doors close. She wanted to insult his excessively extravagant and wasteful lifestyle.When she entered her room, she took off her gown and walked into the shower.The warm water enveloped her entire body, numbing her senses.Avery arrived at Tate Industries first thing the next morning.At 10 a.m., there was not a seat left empty in the meeting room."Good morning, everyone. My name is Avery Tate. The reason I called for this meeting today is because I was abducted last night," Avery said, then glanced around at the faces in the room."Seriously?! Are you okay, Avery?" Someone exclaimed in shock."I'm fine. I wanted

"Yes, it's been hard," Avery answered. "I don't think it's plausible to introduce a self-driving program to the market right now. Even the most advanced program would not be able to beat the human mind. If I'm not confident in the program, why would the investors be?""Don't be so pessimistic about it. Many people invest in things that they find creative, not just because of practicality. There's a party tonight. Everyone there is an heir of a rich family. Do you want to come with me? You never know, you might just bump into someone who's interested in investing!""Forget it!" Avery scoffed. "I won't get anywhere with a bunch of rich brats. It's the first generation, self-made bigshots that I need.""They'll be there, too! You might as well try your luck," Tammy said as she tried to convince Avery. "I don't want to go either, but my dad's making me. He set up a blind date for me. Just come and give me some moral support, okay?""Fine," Avery said as she gave in.At 7 p.m. that eve
