Chapter 344 At the Starry River Villa, Avery’s phone rang the moment she walked out of the shower.
She immediately picked it up and answered the call.
“Hey, Wesley,” she said.
“Why was your phone switched off all morning, Avery?”
Wesley had tried to call her several times before finally getting an answer.
“My phone was dead. I just charged it,” Avery explained regretfully. “Did you call me to talk about Eric Santos?”
“Yes, I did. Eric’s worried you’d be mad.”
“I’m not mad,” Avery said. “I just feel like this is too troublesome for him. I’ll call him later.”
“Okay,” Wesley said as he felt relieved. “I almost went over to your house when I couldn’t reach you all morning.
Mike told me you weren’t home when I called him to ask… Where did you go?”
Avery was taken aback and rendered speechless by the question.
She came up with an excuse moments later and said, “I went out for a jog.”
“I see… I guess it’s important to get regular exercise. Are you able to settle the problems with your company this

health,” Wesley said comfortingly.
“I will! Thanks, Wesley! I’ll buy you lunch soon.”
“Haha! You’re always buying me lunch. It’ll be my treat when you have time to meet.”
“Okay!”
After the phone call, Avery grabbed a change of clothes from the closet.
When she walked downstairs after changing, Tammy was charging towards her before she could react.
“Avery Tate! You have no idea how exciting things were today!” Tammy exclaimed as she kicked herself with
remorse. “If I knew that Elliot was going to ditch the engagement party, then I definitely would have gone to the
hotel with Jun! I heard that Zoe Sanford was crying like a baby before she stormed out of the banquet hall!”
The image popped into Avery’s mind, but she could not bring herself to laugh out loud.
Zoe must despise her right now!
“I got you lunch, Avery,” Mike said as he pointed at the food on the dining table. “Drop by the office when you have
time. I’m heading out.”
Avery nodded in response.
Once Mike was out the door, Tammy began to lousy describe everything that happened at the engagement party.
“How much of a dirtbag could Elliot be? Zoe Sanford isn’t as pretty or adorable as you are. More importantly, she’s
not a good person!” Tammy yammered on as she pulled out the photos of the venue that Jun had sent to her and
showed them to Avery.
“Let me eat in peace, Tammy,” Avery said as she pulled out the food from the paper bag on the table. “I’m
starving.”
“Didn’t you have breakfast today?” Tammy put down her phone, then changed the subject.” What’s your
relationship with Eric Santos? You and I are both human and beautiful women, but why can’t I get to know a hot guy
like Eric Santos?”
Avery almost spat out the food in her mouth.
“If you’ve got so much time on your hands, then do me a favor!”
“What favor? I’ll definitely help with whatever I can!” Tammy said dutifully.
“I’m looking for a bodyguard for the kids to help out with driving them around.” Avery wanted to settle this matter
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmas soon as possible. “I’ve got a few candidates right now, but I don ‘t know which one to pick. Help me pick
someone.”
“Sure! Send me their contact information and I’ll meet with them.”
“A security company recommended them. You can just head on over to their office.”
Avery sent a phone number to Tammy, then said, “I’m stopping by the office after I eat. Call me once you’ve made
a decision.”
“Okay.”
After lunch, Avery drove towards Tate Industries.
While stopping at a red light, she tapped into the private section of her phone and dialed Eric Santos’ number.
Her call was answered very quickly.
“Doctor Tate,” Eric said. “Thanks for your help, Eric,” Avery said gratefully. “However, what you did could expose
your location.”
“I flew my drone pretty far out for the shots. I don’t think that would reveal my address, right?
“As long as they find the woods in your video and narrow it down to the furthest distance the drone can go, they
would be able to get a general area. Elliot Foster’s been looking for you this whole time.”
