Read When His Eyes Opened By Simple Silence Chapter 645
Elliot stared down at them coldly as he pursed his lips.
“I’m finding that traitor even if that’s the last thing I do!” he thought.
When Avery opened her eyes the next morning, the first thing she saw was Mike’s face.
“Avery, you’re awake!” Mike adjusted her bed and passed her a bowl of soup. “Have some soup.”
She had not fully woken up yet and accepted the bowl dazedly.
“How are you feeling today?” Mike sat down by the bed and stared at her face. “Why didn’t you tell me that something like this has happened? Why did you come back on your own? I would d*e of guilt if something had happened to you.”
Avery sobered. “You were drunk. How was I supposed to let you know?”
“Alright! I shouldn’t have drunk with Elliot!” Mike sighed and said, “But we should really thank him this time. He helped us find the traitor.”
Avery blinked when she heard that. “Who was it? Who betrayed us?” she asked in a voice rough with emotion.
“The technical department.” Mike lowered his head because he was the one responsible for the technical department.
Avery frowned. “I asked who, not which department.”
“All employees from the technical department.” Mike took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, Those fools went causing trouble while they were out for a gathering. Some had taken photos of them, and they were blackmailed. In exchange for the photos, they were to hand over the microchip. So, they hatched a plot and stole the chip.”
“Who did they give it to?!” Avery was taken by surprise, but she knew that she had to face reality.
“They claim to not know because the person they had handed the chip to had used a mask and a voice changer. So, they could not tell who it was.”
Avery had lost all her appetite and handed the bowl of soup back to Mike.
“Have some, Avery! Don’t torture yourself,” Mike said guiltily. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have trusted them.”
“I feel dizzy right now. I will have the soup later.” Avery lay back down and started thinking of countermoves.
The person who had taken the microchip had to be either Wanda, or another competitor from the same industry. Soon enough, there would be a company that would launch their products with brand new updates, and it would crush Tate Industries.
An hour later, Elliot arrived at the hospital. He had dropped by at three in the morning, but he had left after taking a glance at her. She had been sleeping. It was half past eight in the morning, and he had gotten less than four hours of sleep. His eyes were red.
When Mrs. Cooper saw him approaching, she immediately said, “Avery just had her breakfast and said she felt dizzy, so she went back to sleep.”
He approached the bed and stared at Avery’s pale face. Her brows were furrowed, and she appeared uneasy even in her sleep.
Suddenly, his phone started ringing. He immediately answered the call and walked toward the balcony.
“Mr. Foster, I got it. The stolen microchip that belonged to Tate Industries is now in the hands of Wanda Tate!” exclaimed his subordinate in excitement. “They have successfully cracked the code so there’s no point in recovering it!”
Meanwhile, Avery slowly opened her eyes.
She stared at Elliot’s slim, yet strong figure from behind and struggled to get up.
