Shea's declaration shocked Henry, Henry could not believe that the frail woman in front of him would have such great determination.
It would seem that Shea had gotten wiser over the years.
"Aunt, you shouldn't say that to my dad. He's your brother!" said Cole.
"I don't want to see the both of you, scram!" said Shea.
"I too, don’t want to see you! You took my blood, you evil person!" exclaimed Adrian.

Adrian's cold gaze and accusation caused Cole to swallow all the words that he had prepared to use to convince them.
"Shea and Adrian know what you guys are planning. Especially Henry, not only did you not care for your own sister, but you even tried to harm her! If your mother was here, she would be very disappointed in you," said Mrs. Scarlet.
"Shut up!" bellowed Henry.
Mrs. Scarlet turned to the guard, "Guard the door! Don't let those two in. If they come even remotely close to this property, immediately kick them out." After that, Mrs. Scarlet and the others returned to their residence.
Cole saw how upset his father was, "Dad, it would seem that Shea has almost fully recovered. She seems to be quite intelligent.
"Not only is she intelligent, but also rude!" exclaimed Henry.
Even though Cole was upset at the whole ordeal not working out as he planned, he wasn't angry.
"My plan may have failed, but it's not like Avery is any better, just the thought of Avery losing to Wanda gives me joy.
Wanda even took all the talent away from Avery's company, it wouldn't be long before Tate Industries goes bankrupt," said Cole.
"Even if Avery goes bankrupt, there’s nothing to gain for us," said Henry.
"| just don't like seeing her being so proud. If Tate Industries goes bankrupt, we might even be richer than Avery," said Cole.

"Cole, the money is all that we have left. If you use it all up, there's nothing | can do to help you. You already saw how Mrs. Scarlet thinks of us..." Cole interrupted Henry before he could finish his sentence, "Dad, relax. | won't use up all your money. If you are still worried | can go get a job, | won't let you spend your retirement in poverty." "Walk the walk," said Henry.
The next day, after sending her kids off, Avery Mike finally went to Tate Industries.
On the way to the company, Mike already gave Avery a full report on all the troubles.
"What we lack the most, is talent. We don't have the R&D required to go against Wanda. Even if we wanted to hire the best research teams, we can’t scrounge up so much money in such a short period of time, " explained Mike, "What did you do to your ex? Why does he seem to have a vendetta against you?" asked Avery.
"Yes! He hates me! After my surgery, he wanted to get together with me, but | didn't want to. And this is his twisted way of getting back at me. Just because I'm not as good as him," explained Mike.
"This is the first time you admitted to somebody being better than you," said Avery.
Mike's face went red, "It wouldn't be long before Hayden overtakes me. | believe that, with Hayden's talent, he would surely be better than that piece of shit in the future!"
