NovelOnlineGary was so furious that it looked as though Elliot had done something to wrong him.
Elliot stopped walking. "You're sick right now, so you should have more rest and refrain from thinking too much.
Ruby mentioned that she isn't feeling well, so I'll check up on her." Elliot's gentle tone made Gary feel as if everything he said earlier had no effect at all.

Gary was very upset after Elliot left.
"He's becoming more and more capable of hiding his feelings," Gary said to the bodyguard. "He looks as if he's respecting me, but the truth is that he resents me." "All because of that doctor named Jed? | don't think Jed is worth being angry for, right?" "He's not doing it for Jed... He's doing it for Avery." Gary frowned. "Didn't you hear him mention that Avery was feeling down? She's feeling that way because of Jed's death.” "Let her hate you if that's what she wants. She’s powerless, it’s not like she can do anything even if she hates you to the bone. " The bodyguard laughed. "That goes for Elliot too. This is your world. He's only somebody if you're willing to put him in an important position. If you don’t, he'll forever remain a nobody!" "He's still more powerful than Paul though, and | need him to do my bidding still." Gary lowered his voice. "But there's nothing for me to worry about because I'm confident Ruby will be able to keep him here." Back at Aryadelle, Mike convened a senior management meeting at Tate Industries and truthfully informed everyone about the problems faced by the company.
"lI am the one who brought the company down," Mike said. "Now that Avery isn’t in the country, she has no energy to manage the company, and she can't solve the problems the company is facing now." "That means the only products that haven't been stolen are our latest releases," said a big-bodied, bespectacled executive.
"Yes. Other than our latest releases, production of the other old models will only end up with one result - where they can’t be sold." Mike said, "Wonder Technologies can sell the products at a low price because they haven't invested in any research development.
And if we take our costs into account, it'd be impossible to fight a price war with them." "What are we going to do, then?" said the vice president. "Are we going to cut off the production line and lay off a majority of our staff?" Mike did not answer, because that was the only way to go to keep the company alive.
"I heard that Wonder Technologies have spent a lot of money to hire a research and development team from abroad. They're probably going to launch a lot of new products soon," said another executive.

"I have this sudden feeling that our company has reached a dead-end in the blink of an eye. How did it come to this?" Mike said, "I'm the one to blame. Our company would never have done this if my stubborn predecessor hadn't caused trouble." "Mike, we have no right to blame you if Avery doesn’t blame you," the vice president said, "If the company can't sustain it, then we'll file for bankruptcy! It's not like the company hasn't gone bankrupt before. Although it won't be easy for me to find another job at my age, it's fortunate that | have saved a lot of money in the past few years..." "Sigh. Are we really going to file for bankruptcy?" Someone sighed.
"The only other option is for someone to invest in the company and change the direction of its development," another executive said. "As to why Wonder Technologies was able to capitalize on this, the first and most significant reason is that they have abundant funds. Wanda has made countless investments, and even though they burned a lot of them in the early stage, it didn't affect their company's normal operations at all and they even continued to attract investment..." "Who's going to invest in us? We've offended many investors when our company was still booming." "Yeah! Avery doesn't accept investments from any outsiders." "Then our only choice is to file for bankruptcy, and Avery's Alpha Technologies in Bridgedale won't be affected if Tate Industries goes bankrupt." One guy looked on the bright side. "And Avery might even come back to rebuild Tate Industries in a few years." No one responded because they all knew how unlikely that was.
Wanda's Wonder Technologies had almost emptied out Tate Industries.
There was no denying reality, and the reality was that Avery had no cards left to play.
