“Bata ka rin!” bulalas ni Layla na lalong tumitindi ang curiosity niya.
“Dumi ang mata ko pagkatapos kong makita. Gusto mo bang madumihan din ang mata mo?”
Umiling si Layla.
Nagtataka siya, ngunit nagpasya siyang huwag makita kung ano man iyon pagkatapos marinig ang
mga salita ni Hayden.
“Gusto ni Mommy na kumuha ng bodyguard para sa atin,” sabi ni Layla habang iniiba niya ang usapan.
“Hindi na tayo malayang makakaikot kapag may bodyguard na tayo.”
“Kapag nangyari iyon, ikaw na ang bahala sa pag-istorbo sa bodyguard habang ako ay gumagalaw
mag-isa.”
Nag-alinlangan si Layla, at sinabing, “Kung talagang pinakasalan ni Dirtbag Dag ang Sanford lady na
iyon, hindi na natin siya hahanapin pa! Dapat kumilos na lang tayo na parang wala tayong tatay!”
Sinulyapan ni Hayden ang kanyang inosenteng kapatid, pagkatapos ay tiyak na sinabi, “Hindi niya ito
pakakasalan.”

“Hindi siya magandang babae.”
“Hindi rin mabuting tao si Daddy! Hindi ba sila magiging perfect together?”
Walang tugon si Hayden sa sinabi ni Layla.
Bigla niyang naramdaman na ang ate niya ang pinakamatalinong tao sa mundo.
He should let Elliot Foster play the fool until he got older, then release the footage of Zoe Sanford and
Cole Foster’s steamy night at the hotel.
That would be a much stronger attack!
However, Hayden did not want to wait that long.
He was going to settle the score now!
He would have many other ways to make Elliot suffer again in the future!
During the upper management meeting at Tate Industries, Avery announced the plans that she had
spent the past few days mulling over.
Everyone in attendance was in disbelief.
They all looked at each other with wide eyes and open jaws.
Mike was Avery’s biggest fan, so he took the lead and started a round of applause.
He would cry “bravo” even if she burned all of their money!
With frozen expressions on their faces, the other department heads joined in on the applause on reflex.
Since Avery was the boss, she could do whatever she wanted… As long as she was happy.
“Do you think it’s a bad plan?” Avery asked modestly when she saw the expressions on everyone’s
faces.
The room burst into a frenzy of opinions.
“Miss Tate. We know you’re rich, but this is too much of a loss! That’s at least six million dollars! We
haven’t even picked up any new orders this year, but we keep staying in the red…”
“That’s right! Replacing the lenses on two thousand drones with high-end lenses would already cost a
ton of money. Giving them out for free would be a great loss!”
“I think it’s a pretty good plan,” Mike said. “Besides, we’re not giving it out for free! They would have to
buy it for a dime.”
“Can a dime really be considered money?”
“Why not? If two thousand people spent a dime to buy their modified drones back, we would make two

The room fell silent.
Avery picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip.
“I know what you’re all thinking, but what we need to do now isn’t turn our losses into profit, but to
improve our reputation. We can discuss profits only after our reputation improves. With the way things
are now, nobody would order our drones no matter how good they are.”
“Since you’re willing to invest that much money to redeem our name, then let’s give it a try!” said the
vice president.”
“If we agree to go with the plan, I’ll go announce it now,” said the head of ventures.
Avery nodded in agreement.
Very quickly, Tate Industries released a public statement on their website.
“Lahat ng mga customer na dati nang bumili ng Storm Series drone ay maaaring mag-redeem ng
bagong drone na may high-end na lens sa halagang isang dime!”
Nangangahulugan ito na ang isa ay makakabili ng tatlong libong dolyar na high-end na drone sa isang
barya lamang! Ang balita ay yumanig sa buong internet sa kaibuturan nito!
