I will return once I have a handle on what has happened." Avery nodded. "Call Isaac and ask him out to a restaurant nearby. It's late, so don't wander too far." "Yeah. I'll go now," he said and shot his bodyguard a look.
His bodyguard followed Elliot, and, once they left, Avery returned to her seat.

"Your dad needs to handle something." "What's wrong? Is it dangerous?" Layla asked worriedly.
"It's not dangerous. I wouldn't have let him go if it's not safe," Avery reassured her. "If all goes well, he should be back soon." As soon as Elliot walked out of the hall, he called Isaac.
Not sensing the crisis awaiting him, Isaac answered the call and asked brusquely, "Do you need something, Mr. Foster?" "Cout. There's something I need to talk to you about," Elliot said calmly.
Without a second thought, Isaac immediately headed out. "Of course, Mr. Foster. Letknow where. I will be there as soon as possible." Once he hung up, Elliot sent Isaac an address.
Half an hour later, Isaac arrived at the restaurant Elliot had reserved a table at.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsaac was wary when he saw Elliot. "Mr. Foster, I thought that you were participating in the Tate Industries' annual dinner?" "Yeah. Something happened, so I left." "What happened?" Isaac asked. "What do you needto do?" Elliot tightened his hold around his coffee mug and stared at Isaac coldly. "What deal did you make with Natalie?" Isaac paled at the mention of Natalie's name.
"Do you know why I cto you, instead of her?" Elliot drawled in a dark tone. "Even if I threatened to kill her, she wouldn't tell the truth because she is not afraid of dying. If you are as fearless as she is, you can try to play tricks." Isaac shook his head. "Mr. Foster, can you tellhow you know aboutand her?" "I'm the one asking the questions. You only need to answer me," Elliot said impatiently.
"Mr. Foster, I don't know Natalie that well. She reached out tothrough a common friend. She knew that I was coming back to Aryadelle and toldthat she could helpget into the Sterling Group." Sensing the severity of the situation, Isaac confessed, "She toldto keep an eye on a woman with scars on her wrists." Instantly, Elliot thought of Juliet, as she was the only person with scars on her wrists that he knew.
"Natalie didn't tellwhy she was looking for this woman. After I got the offer letter from the Sterling Group, I called her and told her not to contactever again. Mr. Foster, I really value this opportunity. I've never done anything that would bring harm to you or the company. You can look into it." "You saw the scars on Juliet's wrists, didn't you?" Elliot questioned.
The first tJuliet met Isaac, she had acted coldly toward him, and it was clear that she was not interested in Isaac at all, nor did she intend on getting involved with him. She had referred to Isaac by his given nin the auwith an extremely gentle voice, yet she had recorded their conversation in secret to send to Avery, which meant that she could not mean to date Isaac.
Elliot cto the conclusion that Isaac must have threatened Juliet.
"Mr. Foster, how... how do you know?" Isaac had not imagined that Elliot would know about this, as Juliet had returned to Ylore.
