By the time the Shadowers discovered that Caroline had been shot, it would already be too late.

Yvonne found it hard to agree.

"But after what happened last time, both Caroline and the Yates family have become more cautious.I don't think they'll show up that easily."

A small smile appeared on Avery's face.

"Ha! Caroline's best friend is here to visit her.I doubt she will decline an invitation from her best friend."

Yvonne's eyes lit up at her words.

"Then, dol need to do anything?"

A hint of murderous intent appeared in Avery's gaze.

"Of course. You need to..."

After thoroughly explaining what Yvonne needed to do, she hung up the phone.

Holding her phone, she looked over at Finn, who was smiling half-heartedly at her.

She frowned.

"Go on, make fun of me.I know you have plenty of comments about this."

Finn put his legs on the table.

After observing Avery, he said with a smile, "Oh, Avery, I won't make fun of you.

Since I see myself in you, I would just be making fun of He continued, "I just didn't expect my brother to be this clever-or should

I call him ruthless instead? When Caroline had a problem, he asked his men to investigate you. Don't you get it? You're not a good person in his eyes."

"I was never a good person."

Although Avery tried her best to hold her feelings back, her clenched fists betrayed her emotions.

She hadn't believed it at first when Finn had told her Kirk was investigating her.

However, she had noticed that she was being followed when she had come here.

Moreover, the person following her was none other than Ethan, Kirk's current assistant.

She would be lying if she said she wasn't heartbroken.

But she didn't want to give up the person she had loved since childhood.

Since she had met him first, she believed she should be the one by Kirk's side.

Moreover, she had dedicated herself to him as much as Caroline had.

But why did Kirk only notice Caroline and not her? She was frustrated.

She didn't want to give up.

She had to become SY Group's president's wife.

Avery took a deep breath, her gaze becoming icier.

"Thank you for telling me about Kirk spying on me."

Having said that, she turned to leave, but Finn grabbed her wrist.

Then, he closed the distance between them.

Finn's lips curled into a smirk under his mask, looking very smug.

"Avery, why are you still being stubborn at a time like this? My brother clearly doesn't have feelings for you. Even if you do marry him, you won't be happy.Why don't we join forces and take SY Group for ourselves?"

"I told you.I won't help you go against Kirk,"

Avery said, angrily shaking off Finn's grip.

Then, she left the room.

When the assistant saw Avery leave, he opened the door and entered the room.

He said to Finn, "Sir, is Ms.Mendeley still refusing your offer?"

Finn's gaze was a little gloomy, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Since she still has lingering feelings for Kirk, she wouldn't be willing to take action against him."

"Then, let's-"

"I don't want to wait any longer. This time, Kirk even turned the Shadowers' attention to that woman. That's equivalent to serving SY Group to me on a platter.It's not my style to not grasp an opportunity when I see it."

"Then...Sir..."

"We proceed as planned."

"Yes, sir."

The assistant smiled.
