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

"Miss Tate, are you here on your own?" the doctor asked. "You will remain under observation for two hours. You should contact someone and ask them to come here." If Laura was still alive, Avery would definitely have asked her to be here.In the end, she accessed her contacts and called Tammy. When Tammy heard that Avery was in a hospital, she hurried over after finding out which hospital Avery was in and which department she was at. Tammy sent her home two hours later. She did not bother Avery as Avery appeared to be depressed.As she drove out of Starry River Villa, Tammy became increasingly frustrated.Though Avery did not tell her what had happened, she had guessed that the baby was not doing well.'It's not like the baby belongs to Avery alone, why does Avery have to suffer while Elliot carries on like nothing's wrong?' she thought.She found Elliot's number and called him, but no one answered. The line was automatically dropped, and so, she called Chad.Chad picked up

"He is too busy today to pick up the phone.""Alright!" The staff member compromised and said, "Wait here, Miss. I will get the person in charge."Two minutes later, the staff came back with Chelsea.Chelsea was surprised to see Tammy and asked, "Why are you looking for Elliot? He's busy.""It's an ordinary event, are you telling me that it can't go on without him?" Tammy asked sarcastically. "Does he not have time to take a sip of water or use the bathroom?"Chelsea did not waver despite Tammy's assertiveness. "What exactly is it that you need, Tammy? Considering the fact that your husband is friends with Elliot, I will pass your message to him." "I don't need you to pass my message! Let me in. I will leave after I have a few words with him!" demanded Tammy in frustration."I would let you in if this is an ordinary event, but there are a lot of important people here today, and I can't just let you in. If you don't want to leave a message, fine. I am busy too, and I don't have
