Chapter 28
When His Eyes Opened
ââ¦I donât know the password. My dad didnât tell me the password before he passed.â Avery Tate
frowned and shook her head.
She hadnât lied.
It was true that Jack Tate hadnât told her about the company before his death, let alone his last words
related to the password.
There were so many people in the room at that time, if Jack Tate had said it, she couldnât have been
the only one who knew.
âUncle Locklyn, why donât I go back and ask my mom!â Avery Tate discussed with the vice president,â
When I saw my dad for the last time, he left after saying a couple of words to me. My mom might know
a bit more.â
The vice president didnât doubt it: âOkay. Donât tell anyone about this. This is a top secret of our
company. Iâm only telling you because youâre the heir appointed by President Tate.â
Avery Tate glanced at the safe, a very sober voice in her mind reminding her.
They had to tell her about this secret because they couldnât find someone to open the safe. 1
If they had opened this safe secretly, they would have simply taken the stuff in the safe privately and
would never have let her know about it.
âWell, I definitely wonât tell anyone about this thing. Uncle Locklyn, apart from you, who else knows
about this?â Avery Tate chatted with the vice president as her feet headed towards the door.
The vice president followed along towards the door.
âTwo other technicians. They are both your fatherâs particularly trusted people and have been following
him for many years. When the time comes to sell and get the money, weâll split it equally, what do you
think?â The vice president said.
Avery Tate nodded, âThen Iâll go back and get the password first.â
âAlright. Tate, itâs not that I donât persist, itâs that no one sees your fatherâs company and us as a team.
They only want this system weâve developed, and weâll definitely be kicked out when the time comes.
Itâs also very hard for me to make this decision.â
âYes, I understand. Uncle Locklyn, what if I canât think of the right password?â Avery Tateâs eyes lifted
upt o look at the Vice President.
She was really a bit worried.
She had absolutely no clue now.
The vice president frowned, âYour father must have left you some signals when he gave you the
company. You go back and think about it carefully.â
âOKâ
After leaving the company, Avery Tate took a taxi back to her motherâs home.
Laura Jensen was washing vegetables. âTate, why did Cole Foster look for you? Didnât you two break
up?â
Avery Tate picked up her glass of water, took a sip and said, âHe was beaten up by Elliot Foster and
wanted to fight back. He tried to use my hand to kill Elliot Foster.â
Laura Jensenâs face changed dramatically, âTate, you wouldnât agree to that, would you?!â
âHow is that possible? Killing someone, I definitely wonât do it. Mom, what kind of person am I in your
mind?â
L
Laura Jensen sighed in relief: âYouâve grown up and donât share a lot of things with me. For example,
the matter of your pregnancyâ¦If Elliot Foster hadnât forced you to have an abortion, how long would
you have planned to hide it from me?â
Avery Tate walked up to her mom and hugged her: âMom, I didnât know about the pregnancy until very
late, too. By the way, do you know where Dadâs relics are?â
The expression on Laura Jensenâs face froze and she said awkwardly, âTate, your father and I divorced
a long time ago and when he died, his relics were not mine to handle. What do you need his relics for?â
She told her mother what had just happened.
âItâs a six-digit code. What would Dad have set? Did he ever tell you about it?â She pondered hard.
Laura Jensen shook her head, âHe didnât say anything to me about the password. He kept telling me he
was sorry then and kept shedding tears⦠Honestly, I hated him, but every time I think of the image of
him o n his deathbed, I get softâ¦Sigh, whatâs the use of hating again when people have gone.â
âMom, the Vice President told me that Dad didnât give me the company to carry on the debt. He said
that the system Dad developed could be sold for a lot of money.â Avery Tateâs nose twitched, and she
felt very complicated.
