Chapter 339

“Mike! Why aren’t you and Miss Tate answering your phones?” said the vice president
anxiously as he gave Mike a once over. “Something huge happened! Hurry up and wake Miss Tate up!”

With an embarrassed face, Mike scratched his head and walked into the house.

“It’s not like the company shut down. What happened?”

The vice president followed Mike and said, “Did you two engage a celebrity to advertise for us
overnight? Some pop idol called Eric Santos spoke up for our products! He’s a major celebrity!”

The embarrassment vanished from Mike’s face as bewilderment took over.

“Why don’t I understand a thing you’re saying?”

“My god! There’s a huge celebrity called Eric Santos who showed his support for the Storm Series on
social media. Since his post went up, our customer service lines have been blowing up. What’s even
more crazy is that new orders are coming in at an alarming rate… I’ve never seen this kind of chaos
before!” said the vice president with flushed cheeks.

He could not reach Avery or Mike on their phones, so he showed up at the villa.

Mike felt that things were not that simple after hearing the vice president’s words.

He rushed over to the master bedroom, knocked on the door, then entered to find the room completely
empty.

“Avery isn’t home,” Mike muttered. “You can’t reach her phone?”

The vice president shook his head and said, “I even tried calling before I rang the doorbell! Her phone’s
off.”



Mike quickly went to his room and changed his clothes.

“I looked into Eric Santos. He had disappeared for three years before he spoke up for our company!
After his post went up, all of the trolls that slandered our company instantly vanished! The fighting
power of his fans is incredible!”

“I know Eric Santos. Avery is a fan of his,” Mike said as he became more clear headed. “I don’t know
why he’s helping us. We have to ask Avery about it.”

“Didn’t she say where she was going?” asked the vice president frantically. “My phone’s been blowing
up all morning. Other than switching it on to call you, I’ve had it on airplane mode the entire time.”

Mike raised his brows and asked, “Is it that serious?”

The vice president’s forehead was dripping with sweat as he said, “It is! Everyone thinks we’re

working with Eric Santos and asking me how we made him come back to life! They even asked me
how much we paid him! My own daughter’s been pestering me for his autograph!”

Mike was speechless.

It was the day of Elliot Foster and Zoe Sanford’s engagement party.

The guests were already gathered at the hotel venue.

Zoe was dressed in a custom, high-end gown with her hair and makeup ready, and she had been
anticipating Elliot’s arrival since the morning.

As eight in the morning turned into nine in the morning, she was beginning to lose patience.

“Let’s head over to the hotel first!” Rosalie said as she tried to comfort Zoe. “I tried to call him earlier but
his phone was turned off. I’m sure he’ll call us back right away when he sees our missed calls.”



Zoe maintained a polite smile on her face, but her heart was filled with misery.

They had agreed for Elliot to pick her up from the old mansion and drive to the hotel together.

It was the day of their engagement.

No matter what happened, he should not have his phone turned off!

The bottom line was that Elliot did not care for Zoe at all.

On the way to the hotel, Zoe scrolled through her phone in frustration and happened upon Eric Santos’
latest social media post.

Her brows furrowed.

Why was Eric Santos helping Avery Tate?

If he did not stand up for her, Tate Industries was sure to go under soon!

Something suddenly clicked inside of Zoe’s head.

Did Avery have anything to do with Elliot’s absence?

At that thought, Zoe dialed Avery’s number with trembling fingers.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.”

Zoe burst into tears!

Elliot’s phone was turned off!

Avery’s phone was switched off, too! Were they together right now?!
