The next morning, Ms. Tessa woke to find herself still in Landon's arms.
Seeing her awake, he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "How'd you sleep?"

"With you next to me? Of course I slept well." She nuzzled against his chest
affectionately. "Why haven't you gone to the office yet?"
"I wanted to wait until you woke up. No rush."
"Hmm... did you go out last night?" she asked lazily.
She vaguely remembered stirring in the middle of the night and finding the bed empty. He hadn't returned until two hours later, and by then she'd fallen back into a deep sleep.
"Yeah. Something came up. Had to step out." Landon didn't explain further.
"Want to get up and have breakfast? The housekeeper's already made everything."
"Alright."
While she was washing up, Ms. Tessa received a message from one of the band members-Stephen's mood had stabilized, and now everyone just wanted to understand why Avery was leaving.
That was what she wanted to know too. She immediately called Avery.
When the call came in, Avery was still asleep, sprawled across his bed. He'd drunk too much with Landon the night before. His head throbbed like it was going to explode. Hangovers were miserable.
He fumbled around blindly before finally finding his phone. "Hello?" he mumbled hoarsely.
"Avery, where are you? Can we meet up?"
"Ms. Tessa, I've already said everything there is to say. No matter what you ask, my answer won't change."
Ms. Tessa was speechless. She hadn't even said anything yet, and he was already brushing her off? Was that really necessary?
"I'm just asking to meet. What, are you planning to never see any of us again?" Even if he was set on leaving, it didn't have to be like this.
Avery didn't reply for a long time.
She was right.
Was he really planning to never see them again?
Could he really be okay with that?
"... Alright. Let's meet at noon. Just not at TS Entertainment. I'm not ready to face the others yet."
He couldn't bring himself to look them in the eye. He was terrified of seeing their disappointment. Because in the end, he really had let them down. And for that, he felt truly sorry.
"Okay. Let's meet at the Silvermoon Estate at eleven." With the time and place settled, Ms. Tessa hung up and let out a deep breath.

Chapter 487 A Meeting with Shadows
Avery was seriously hard to deal with.
That noon meeting was probably going to be anything but smooth.

After breakfast, Landon personally drove her to TS Entertainment before heading off to Thorne Corp for his own work.
Ms. Tessa handled a few matters at TS Entertainment, and once the agreed time approached, she left for Silvermoon Estate.
Meanwhile, Avery didn't wake until close to noon. After a quick shower and getting ready to leave, he opened his door-only to find several men in black suits blocking the hallway. They were tall, broad-shouldered, and carried an unmistakable edge in their eyes. These weren't ordinary bodyguards.
His brows drew together. "What the hell is this? I told you I'd go back. I just need
a little more time to finish things here. That's not allowed?"
The man in front stepped forward, voice stiff. "Young Master, we're just following orders. Please come with us."
They all knew-if they failed to bring him back, they'd be the ones punished.

"I'm going to meet someone. You wait here. After that, I'll speak to father myself.” Avery understood they were in a tough spot, but he had his own priorities. "Sir, we really-" one of them tried to object. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

He wasn't afraid of a fight. He just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
The men exchanged glances and fell silent.
They knew he was right. If things escalated here, none of them would get off
clean.

Finally, the lead man clenched his
jaw. "Fine. We'll wait here. But don't make us look bad. Walter said if you stall any longer, he won't hesitate to go after the people close to you." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
It was a direct threat, sharp and unambiguous.
Avery's pupils instantly contracted into narrow, dangerous slits. He lunged
forward
and grabbed the lead man by the throat. "I'll go back with you. But if any of you
lay a finger on my friends, I swear-I'll make you regret it."
