Chapter 1167
Avery placed her phone down and slumped onto her desk, sobbing.Someone knocked and entered. When they saw her crying on her desk, they were stunned and immediately left the room!The person that knocked on the door was the Head of the R&D Department. He only wanted to come to talk to Avery about their new product, but when he saw her crying, he instantly panicked. He felt awkward too. He did not know what to do, so he could only pretend that he did not see her.He took his phone out and called Mike. He explained the situation to Mike and got him to go check up on Avery later.If he were to go to her office to check up on her at that moment, she would surely be in a terrible state.Half an hour later, Mike could no longer take it, so he pushed and entered her office.Avery was no longer crying. She was looking at her computer screen in focus. If he did not go closer to her, he would not be able to see what was wrong with her.Once he was close, he could see her reddened and puff
Chapter 1168
At eleven in the morning, Avery got off work early to find a place to change her phone screen.She found a repair shop about a kilometer away. She walked over and handed her phone to the staff there.She waited for about half an hour. Her phone with a new screen was returned to her.After she paid, she left the shop.It was just in time for lunch. She called Mike."I'm outside, what do you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."Mike heard her voice and felt extremely awkward. If she knew that he had told Elliot about her, she would surely be mad."I'm having lunch with some colleagues," Mike refused politely, "Why don't you head home and rest after lunch!""Hmm, then I'll just head home." She could clearly sense Mike being aloof and distant from her, but her head hurt terribly, she did not have the energy to deal with it.After hanging up, she walked back to her office and drove away.She only had one week. She had to properly think about how she was going to bring that up

Elliot held his phone and looked straight ahead at Chad."Mr. Foster, your phone is ringing. Why are you not answering it?" Chad placed Elliot's lunch on his desk. He smiled as a reminder.Elliot's expression was cold. He said in a cold and low voice, "Leave."Chad realized that Elliot was not picking up the call because he was there, so he immediately left.Elliot answered the call."Mr. Foster, I have sent the call recording to your email. Please have a look," The person on the other end of the call said politely."Got it." Elliot hung up and looked at his inbox. He clicked into the new email.He could see the most recent recording. It was a call Avery made to Henry.He played the recording, and it was instantly played out loud in his office."Henry, I will give you the things that you want as soon as possible!" Avery's cold voice came through. "Don't hurt Adrian anymore! If you bully him again, I'll make sure that you won't get anything! He is your family! Not mine! If he d

"Mommy!" Robert suddenly walked over and hugged her leg.Avery's heart instantly melted into a puddle.She immediately placed her phone down and looked at her son in surprise. "Babe, I saw you having fun with your toys, so I didn't disturb you. I didn't think that you would come to look for me."She carried Robert in her arms and kissed him on his cheeks."I'll bring you for your vaccination later, don't cry, okay?"Robert's dark eyes opened wide. He did not understand the meaning of vaccination.He had injections previously, but it was when he was asleep, other times was when they took a toy to distract him, so he barely cried. However, he was older at that moment, so it was harder to distract him."Avery, if you're hungry you can have some fruit first," Mrs. Scarlet came over and said with a smile, "If you were to tell us you are coming back for lunch, you wouldn't have to wait.""I'm not hungry. If I was hungry, I would have had lunch outside." Avery smiled. "I got up early

Returning home, Avery felt empty.In fact, it was not always that Elliot could reply to her messages immediately. If she was not about to ask him for his shares, she would surely not be that nervous.She held her phone and refreshed her chat several times. She still did not get a reply.She sent Tammy a message, [Tammy, how are you and Jun recently?][Tammy: Nothing much. He has been quite busy recently.][Avery: When you send him a message, how long does he usually take to reply?][Tammy: He'll reply when he sees it! Why do you suddenly ask me about this?][Avery: I sent Elliot a message at noon. He has not replied to me yet.][Tammy: Why don't you just call him directly and ask? He must be busy, so he hasn't seen the messages, if not, he would surely reply to you.][Avery: I thought so too, so I don't think I should call him. He'll be back home by evening anyway.][Tammy: Hmm, didn't you go to work today too?][Avery: I brought Robert to get his vaccination, so I didn't go

"Oh, is your charger broken? I have a charger with me. I'll get it for you…""No need." Elliot's charger was not broken. He just did not want to charge his phone. His phone ran out of battery from listening to the recording of Avery. He listened to the recording the entire afternoon.At that moment, as long as he heard anything that had to do with Avery, Adrian, and Henry, his heart hurt. He also felt nauseated.Chad could not help but ask, "Mr. Foster, what is happening between you and Avery this time?""Don't ask things you're not supposed to ask. Don't tell things that you're not supposed to tell." Elliot looked at Chad coldly.Chad immediately shut up. "I got it. Are you returning home tonight? If you're not returning, I'll go get you dinner right now.""I haven't thought about it.""If you don't return her calls, I think she'll come to the office to look for you later," Chad reminded Elliot, "You have never left her hanging before. She would surely think likewise.""It's b

Avery furrowed her brows and came out of the dining hall. She decided to drive to Elliot's office to look for him.She wanted to know if he was truly so busy, that he did not have time to check on his phone, or if there were other reasons.Half an hour later, she parked her car at the entrance of the Sterling Group building.The lights on some of the floors of the building were still on. She immediately walked into the lobby.When the guards saw her, they immediately let her enter.She took the lift up to Elliot's office. With a ding, the doors of the lift slowly opened.The corridor lights were still on, but the lights in Elliot's office were off. He was not in the office. Was he already on the way back home? She was much more disappointed than she was hopeful.She felt that something must have happened. If not, he would not have gone without contacting her for so long.They had been very sweet together after their marriage. Even if they spent 24 hours a day together, they w

Making negative assumptions about Avery was something Elliot would never do, but her conversation with Henry was like a stab in the back for him.Had she ever thought that he, just like Adrian, was a human being too? Adrian might be in a pitiful situation, but did that give her a free pass to save Adrian at his expense?He would not have been that heartbroken if she consulted him first and received his consent before talking to Henry on the phone.Chad sent him to the hotel and came out.It was almost July and the nights were getting warmer.Chad already started to sweat even though it had only been seconds since he came out of the hotel.He got into the car and dialed Ben's number."I don't know what to do now, Ben." His mood was severely affected by Elliot. "I feel like I've lost my job."Ben frowned. "Did he fire you? What did you do?""I don't know what I did, but I don't think I did anything wrong." Chad took a deep breath, "But he just told me not to call him Mr. Foster
