When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

chapter 980

Over at sterling Group, Ben was sitting in Elliot's chair in his office and grinned widely as Elliot walked into the room.

"You sure act fast, Elliot!" Ben knew that Elliot would not get mad no matter how much he teased him now, so he was being especially insolent. "I was only away for two days and you managed to get Avery in the bag. You're even planning your wedding already. If Chad hadn't told me over the phone, did you not plan on telling me anything until after the wedding?"

Elliot walked over to his desk, then asked, " Are the Tierneys and Goldsteins close?"

"Which Goldstein?"

"The Goldsteins from Mount sierra. After old man Goldstein died, his son, Roger took over." Elliot was still bothered by what happened in Mount Sierra. "If I hadn't bribed one of the staff members there beforehand, I would probably be a pile of dust by now."

Ben cursed out loud, then shot to his feet in shock. "Chad didn't tell me about this. He just said that you and Avery were getting married. I'm not sure if the Tierneys and Goldsteins are close because Chelsea rarely talks about her family matters in front of me."

"I remember that Chelsea took time off of work once to attend a banquet that the Goldsteins were throwing," Elliot said. "You might have forgotten about it. It's been a while since then."

"If that's the case, then she definitely knows the Goldsteins. You're not suspecting her of wanting to kill you, are you?" Ben was stunned, "Do you really think that's possible, Elliot? You know Chelsea would gladly die for you. Why would she want you dead?"
