Chapter 558
Elliot did not want to go home, nor did he want to attend the team building session.Chad saw the agony Elliot was in, and he said, "Why don't you go on a vacation? Where do you want to go? I'll book a hotel for you."Elliot thought for a long while before finally saying, "I want to drink."Chad was speechless. "Is this why he attended that meeting?" thought Chad. An hour later and Elliot was drunk, just like he wished. Once he had sent Elliot home, Chad sighed in relief. Although drinking was not good for him, at least Elliot did not consume that much alcohol. If he had, Chad would not be able to rest easy. Exiting Elliot's mansion, Chad called Mike. "Doesn't Avery feel in the least bit guilty? Mr. Foster put a lot of effort and money into saving her, but what does she do? She hurts him." It was night in Bridgedale at that moment.Mike rubbed the middle of his brows and yawned. "What nonsense are you talking about? Hmm?""Didn't Avery break up with him? How cruel and hear

The reporter claimed that Avery had scammed Elliot out of his money. As Avery had started her company in Bridgedale, Bridgedale was her second home. The reporter held that it was inconceivable that she be forced to ask Elliot for help when she had been kidnapped in her second home. [Does she not have connections and money to resolve the situation? Why did Elliot have to come in his private jet to rescue her?] stated the article. In the end, Elliot had dumped one and a half billion dollars only to return home sad and alone.The writer concluded that Avery had used their relationship to scam him out of his money!The article ended sarcastically, stating that it was ironic for such a smart individual like Elliot to be brought to his knees by a woman. The article also warned people to stay away from women, especially strong and beautiful women like Avery as these women rely on other men to gain their wealth. This topic was picked up by other media outlets too who ran with the story

Mike was in Bridgedale when he saw the article. He had not been deliberately searching for news pertaining to Aryadelle when he had come across the article. One of the higher-ups of Tate Industries had sent him the article. The reason they had done so was because the members of the media were calling up the company and trying to get some clarification on the validity of the claims circulating online. How could the higher-ups know anything about their boss's private life? They only knew that Avery had gone to Bridgedale. They did not know the reason for her trip, and they also had not known that she had been kidnapped.When Mike saw the news, he was furious. He sat down and drank his cup of coffee, and by the end of his cup, he still had not decided whether he wanted to inform Avery about the matter.Avery had been resting at home for the past few days. Apart from mealtimes, she had spent the entire time cooped up in her room. When she came out to have her meals, she seemed be

Back at Aryadelle, the weekend passed in a blink of an eye.On Monday, Elliot arrived at the office. Chad followed him and entered his office."Yes?" Elliot switched his computer open. He looked up at Chad."Mr. Foster, is your phone not on?" Chad inquired cautiously. It was only after Chad had asked this question that Elliot realized he did not have his phone with him. He spent the weekend sleeping in, but he still felt a little dizzy.It was possible to experience dizziness if one did not get enough sleep. Sleeping too much would have the same effect too. "Here's what happened, Mr. Foster." Chad gave Elliot a summary of the incident that took place over the weekend.When Elliot heard the news, a look of sheer disbelief appeared on his face."Get the bodyguard to bring me my phone," Elliot said to Chad. When Chad left, Elliot looked at his computer screen.The headline for that day popped up, [President of Sterling Group, Elliot Foster, Cheated of 1.5 Billion!]Although he h

Mike looked at her serious expressions and guessed, "Are you going to compensate him?! We don't have that kind of money!" Mike exclaimed with a gasp.Avery looked at him seriously. "How much money do we have right now?"Mike was stumped. "I have never given much attention to this. You're the boss! Don't you know how much money we have?"Avery had never truly looked into how much money they had either. "Take the children back to Aryadelle. I'll head back in a few days." Avery changed the topic. "Shouldn't you all head out by now? Don't miss the flight."Mike knew her well, and he said, "Avery, Elliot did not authorize the press release. Chad told me that one of his rivals had done that. They were trying to kill two birds with one stone. The money that he spent might be astronomical to us but not to Elliot. You don't have to concern yourself with how much he has chosen to spend. What you need to do now is to look after yourself and the child you are carrying!" "I know." Avery cal

Elliot subconsciously gripped his phone tighter.Their relationship had changed from that of a couple to that of a debtor and debtee. Although it was an ironic relationship, it was still a relationship. Elliot did not respond to her message. It did not matter that he did not agree with her; she would not listen to him anyway. After about fifteen minutes or so, his phone beeped again. Elliot tapped on the message and saw that it was a bank notification. One hundred and fifty-five million dollars had just been wired into his account. The note said repayment.Elliot looked at the soulless series of numbers. The light in his eyes dimmed gradually.This was perhaps all the money she could afford at that moment.…After Avery wired the money, she just stared at the phone. She felt slightly lost. "Has he not seen it?" she thought."Forget it," she thought. She had already sent him the message. He would see it sooner or later.Avery slid the phone into her bag and took the bag wit

Not once had he asked Avery to repay him. It was all her! She was the one forcing herself to return the money!"Do you think I asked her for the money?" he said with a slight tremor in his voice. Chad shook his head furiously. "I know that you would never ask her for the money, but you can tell her to stop trying to repay you." "Do you think she will listen to me?" Elliot said sarcastically. "Do you think she will listen to me?!"Chad was stunned."Did Mike tell you to come and tell me this?" Elliot swallowed. He furrowed his brows tighter.Chad shook his head. "He knew that it would be pointless— me talking to you. I just thought that even if it was pointless, I should try speaking to you. I thought that you would at least take a stand, and then, whatever she does next will not be on you." "I understand. Please leave."Elliot was not worried that the blame would fall on him. He was only afraid that something might happen to her. After Chad left, Elliot picked up his phone
Chapter 565
Elliot picked up the cup of hot coffee on his desk and took a sip. The coffee was bitter, just like his mood.Avery had always been doing things her way. She had always been selfish. She had never considered how he felt. Even if they went their separate ways, she still found ways to torture him. It was lunchtime at Central University's elite class.A boy took his lunch and walked over to Hayden."Hayden, the woman that conned one and a half billion dollars out of Elliot Foster on the news is your mother, right?!" The boy who approached Hayden was called Daniel, and because he was so fat, everyone called him Fat Dan. "My mother is not a con-woman!" Hayden said angrily."I know. If your mother was a con-woman, Elliot Foster would have made things difficult for your mother." Then, Fat Dan asked curiously, "Your mother should be fine right now, right? She's at home, right?""My mother is abroad."Fat Dan adjusted his glasses and looked at Hayden intensely. "Oh… Why is she not ret
