Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 571 - Bab 580

Her eyes were red as she made another call. It was someone she had not called in a while. Her call was answered shortly, and she heard a sweet melodic voice drift out from the speaker."Did you dial the wrong number, Dr. Sanford? It's been so, so long since you last contacted me, and here I thought that you had completely forgotten about me! Hahaha!"Chelsea's smug laughter came from the speaker.It had been Chelsea who had gotten her to come back to Bridgedale. It was also Chelsea who had told her that there was much to gain in Bridgedale, but she had not listened to Chelsea.Once she had gotten a hold of Elliot, she had immediately cast Chelsea aside. "What are you laughing at Chelsea?!""I'm laughing at you, of course! You are out of the game now." Chelsea sounded cheerful. "It is so easy to destroy you right now, it will be like squashing an ant. But that is beneath me, and I don't want to get my hands dirty." "Really?" Zoe mumbled. "What have you gotten so far? Elliot s

"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

"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

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

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
