His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 39

"Yes, it's been hard," Avery answered. "I don't think it's plausible to introduce a self-driving program to

the market right now. Even the most advanced program would not be able to beat the human mind. If This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I'm not confident in the program, why would the investors be? H

"Don't be so pessimistic about it. Many people invest in things that they find creative, not just because

of practicality. There's a party tonight. Everyone there is an heir of a rich family. Do you want to come

with me? You never know, you might just bump into someone who's interested in investing!" 3

"Forget it!" Avery scoffed. "I won't get anywhere with a bunch of rich brats. It's the first generation, self-

made bigshots that I need."

"They'll be there, too! You might as well try your luck," Tammy said as she tried to convince Avery. "I

don't want to go either, but my dad's making me. He set up a blind date for me. Just come and give me

some moral support, okay?"

"Fine," Avery said as she gave in.

At 7 p.m. that evening, Tammy drove Avery to a five-star hotel in the city.

"When we get in let's split up. That'll make it easier for you to fish for investors," said Tammy. 1

Avery nodded and said, "I didn't forget that you're here for a blind date. I won't be a third wheel." 1

Tammy chuckled, then said, "Keep your eyes on your phone. I'll text you when I can't take it anymore."

"Okay," Avery responded.

The two women walked into the hotel and entered the ballroom from two separate doorways.

Avery picked up a glass of juice, then sat herself down in a corner of the room.

She wanted to take a peek at Tammy's blind date.

The Lynch family was in the department store business. They were not a listed company, but they were

popular and well-known in the country.

Avery was sure that the person Tammy's family set her up with would be from a similar background, but

she was curious about his looks, age, and personality.

Soon after, a familiar, handsome face caught Avery's eye.

Why did Tammy's date look so familiar?

That man... Was that Jun Hertz?!

She had a meeting with him at Tate Industries before. It was a short discussion that did not end too

pleasantly.

Avery placed her glass down and sent Tammy a text.

Avery: [What's your date's name? He looks familiar.]

Tammy was in the middle of a conversation with Jun when her phone screen lit up.

She saw Avery's text, then sent a reply. 2

Tammy: [Jun Hertz. Do you know him?]

Avery: [I do!!!]

Tammy: [What's with that reaction? Did something happen between you? I can back off!]

Avery: [No! I don't know him that well, but I know he's got about two hundred million dollars in his

account!]

Tammy: [Holy sh*t! Is he that rich? No way! He just graduated from college not too long ago. How could

he have that much money?]

Avery: [... He plans on buying out my dad's company.] 1

Tammy: [What?! I'm going to need a second to process this.]

Avery: [Don't tell him we know each other! There's something fishy about this guy, but I haven't been

able to find out much about him.]

Tammy: [Leave it to me! I'll figure out what's going on!]

Since Tammy was focused on her phone, Jun shifted his gaze and looked around the banquet hall. 1

That was when he noticed Avery sitting in a corner of the room.

What was she doing there?

That party was a singles event, but Avery had a husband.

Jun grinned, then pulled out his phone and sent Elliot a text.

Jun: [Hey, Elliot. Your wife's at a singles party in the Celestial Hall at Regency Hotel. There are a few

guys with their eyes on her... Did you let her out to play?]
