It was a notification from the bank informing her that three hundred million had been wired into her account."Avery, I heard that you were the one who had broken off things with him this time. I'm guessing that he is doing this now to spite you," Tammy guessed.Avery was in a good mood. She had so easily gotten the three hundred million dollars."What he wants to do is up to him." She took out a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and handed it to Tammy.Tammy was not happy about it. "That Chelsea really is everywhere! She's stayed quiet for over a year, and I almost forgot that she is still working for Sterling Group. She's definitely patient."Avery had a deep and lasting impression of Chelsea from the last time they met, and she knew what Chelsea was like, although they had not met for a long time. "Chelsea's love for Elliot surpasses my love for him," said Avery, "Elliot doesn't like kids, and so to reassure him, she went and got rid of her own uterus."Tammy gasped.
"Chad, did Elliot deactivate his account?" Avery looked up at Chad.Chad was taken by surprise and said, "He didn't tell me to do anything like that, so I'm not sure. Are you having issues transferring money to his account?"Avery nodded."I'll ask him about it when I go to work tomorrow," Chad said awkwardly. "Maybe he doesn't want to take your money anymore!""That's funny. Does he intend on keeping Avery in his debt?" Tammy directed her frustration toward Chad and said sharply, "What exactly is his relationship with Chelsea? Jun said that Elliot had taken Chelsea along with him the last time they had dinner together." Chad was starting to sweat. "… They are colleagues, I guess! He's known Chelsea for years so he would sometimes take her out for meals.""Who are you trying to fool? Jun said that Chelsea was putting food on Elliot's plate, and Elliot accepted it… Is that what colleagues do in your company?""Tammy Lynch, it's really not necessary for you to say all these things in fr
After two seconds of silence, he could no longer control himself and said, "Avery!"His voice was filled with unconcealable concern for her.She gagged a few times before the nausea finally passed.Elliot regained his composure and muttered in a hoarse voice, "Avery, go lie down on the bed if you don't feel well."Enraged by what he said, she hissed, "I don't need your pity!"He did not need to tell her how great Chelsea was."I pity our child!" he said sternly as he tightened his grip on the phone."Why?" she asked sarcastically. "Is it because I haven't gotten rid of it?!" "Avery Tate, do you really have to be so savage?!"Elliot could not help but wonder whether he really was the villain she made him out to be. He had been overjoyed by the news of her pregnancy and had looked forward to the birth, and when the accident had happened, he had been deeply hurt as well."Who was the first one to start this savagery?" said Avery as she sat on her bed. Her eyes had grown red, an
"I accepted the offer because I feel relaxed whenever I'm with Shea, and I love it," he continued, "Elliot then gave my parents a tremendous amount of money in secret."Avery's lips curled into a smile, "You should take the money if he insists."Wesley shook his head. "I told my parents to donate the money. I don't like the feeling of being a charity case. It makes me look pitiable, and I've never considered myself that.""Maybe he doesn't mean it like that, Wesley."Wesley looked at her with gentle eyes, and he calmly said, "I know he meant well. Avery, if you can say all these things to me, why can't you think the same way about him?"She blushed slightly. "Can't I?""It isn't wise for you to break up with him. You are pregnant, and you need someone to help you out," said Wesley as he studied her face. "After what has happened, can you really not tell how he feels about you?" His voice was steady, and he said it with absolute calm. Avery lowered her gaze as her heart grew hea
The interview was posted online by the reporter. The video became an instant sensation on the internet.The previous rumors that had been circulating had already gotten plenty of attention, and this was the first time that Avery had ever publicly paid any attention to it.Her admission that the rumors were true shocked everyone. What was more shocking was that Elliot had not sued her or requested any kind of compensation. It made everyone curious, and they truly began to wonder whether Elliot was as gullible as Avery said he was.Elliot returned to his office in the Sterling Group building. He had been in a meeting for an hour. When he came back, he saw countless messages on his phone. Every message was followed by a short clip. He scowled and played the videos."Miss Tate, we heard that you scammed Elliot Foster out of one and a half billion dollars, may I know if this is true?""It’s true."Everyone was instantly rendered speechless."You have to be joking, Miss. Tate. If it’s
A while later, the car stopped outside a restaurant.Avery went inside and walked directly into the VIP room."Eric, is this your day off?"Eric had booked a private room in a restaurant near Avery's company and invited her to a meal."Yeah, I am free this morning." Eric pulled out the chair for her. "Thank god, you came back safely. I was so worried."Avery sat down, and before she could respond, her attention was caught by a card resting on the table. "What's this? Is this your bank card?"Eric sat down next to her. "Yeah. Take it and pay Elliot back."Without a moment of hesitation, Avery pushed the card back to him and said, "I don't want it, Eric. I might owe him money, but he is not forcing me to pay him back. I pay him back when I want to, and I can stop whenever I feel like it."Eric pushed the card to her stubbornly and said, "Now that you have broken up with him, it's best to pay him back as soon as possible! Avery, you saved my life, and I will give you every penny t
She glanced at him and quickly turned away. Stepping out of the elevator, she walked right past him. "Avery!" He grabbed her arm.She paused before punching him in the chest with her free hand. "Let me go!" she yelled in a hoarse and broken voice, "Let me go!"Elliot released her after seeing her reaction. Noticing the tears in her eyes, he swallowed and asked, "What's wrong, Avery?"She was clearly emotional, and he could not imagine what must have happened to have caused it.Avery stared at his face, and the pain in her heart grew. If only Elliot had not asked the doctor to administer the medication, then there might have been a chance that the baby would not suffer this condition. She wanted to blame him, but she knew that it was wrong, especially when he had not intentionally done so. "Don't follow me, Elliot Foster!" she said as tears slid down her face. She turned around and left.Elliot watched as she walked away. He could not stay calm, and he ran after her.Just then
Elliot gazed out the door, but Avery had already driven away. "Um… Sorry! I thought you made her cry!" Mike dragged him to the elevator by the arm. "Let me get you a drink. She told us to leave her alone, so it's better that you stay away from her for now."Elliot scowled. "You really don't know what's wrong with her?""Not a clue! She was fine when she showed up to work this morning. Why else would I think that you pissed her off?"Elliot followed Mike into the elevator."Do you know how she managed to get three hundred million, then?" Elliot asked. "She paid me three hundred million today, and according to what I know, both companies combined can't rake in that much cash." "You came looking for her to ask her about this?""Yeah.""I don't know!" Mike was not going to tell him the truth. "She even keeps things from me now, since I'm rather close to Chad. She thinks I've shifted loyalties." Elliot's eagle-like eyes locked onto Mike's face.Feeling uncomfortable, Mike force
