Chapter 582
Tammy covered her swollen cheek in shock. To her surprise, she heard Elliot saying, "Scram!"Tammy had been treated like a princess for over twenty years. No one had even come close to laying a hand on her or telling her to 'scram'.Though hot-tempered, she was not a strong-willed person.With a hand on her face, she ran off in tears.Elliot clenched his fists as he watched her run away. He could already imagine how angry Avery would be when Tammy told her about this, but what had happened could not be changed, and he would have taught Tammy a lesson even if he had to do it all over again.Tammy had no idea when to stop, and not only were her words inappropriate, but she had been too presumptuous as well. Though Chelsea was merely his PR manager, she was also a daughter of the Tierney Family. Regardless of Tammy's reasons, Tammy should not have slapped Chelsea in public.…Tammy ran out of the hotel in tears. Once she got into her car, she drove onto the highway and called Jun

Elliot remained silent for a while before asking, "Did she tell Avery about this?""No. She probably won't tell Avery… for now at least.""Why?" Elliot was curious as to why Tammy had come looking for him.Jun hesitantly told him the truth, "Tammy came looking for you to tell you that there's probably something wrong with Avery's baby. She was in the hospital with Avery earlier today."Elliot swallowed hard and the light in his eyes faded."Maybe that affected Tammy in some way too, and that was why she was so desperate to find you," said Jun. He explained Tammy's earlier behavior. "Tammy isn't a bad person.""I know," Elliot responded in a hoarse voice before hanging up.'There's something wrong with our baby,' thought Elliot. 'So, there is something wrong with the baby, but Avery hasn't said anything to me. Does she plan on keeping everything to herself? Would I have not heard a thing if Tammy hadn't come?'Feeling as though he was being stabbed in the heart, Elliot dragged h

"I have the right to know!" His eyes turned red, "Even if you won't admit it, you can't change the fact that I'm the father!" "You know now, don't you?" she responded casually."I do know now, but I didn't hear it from you! Show me the medical report!" he demanded."There's no medical report." His grip was beginning to hurt her wrist, and she reached down to pull his hand off hers. "Let go of me!""Why isn't there a medical report?!" He loosened the grip, but instead of letting go completely, he moved his palm just just above her wrist and maintained his grip on her.Unable to lie while being confronted by Elliot, she said, "I did the test in Bridgedale so they only sent me an email.""Show me the email!" he commanded, fully intending to persist until he had seen the email for himself.Just then, Mike and the children walked out of the dining room and spotted Elliot."What is he doing here?" Layla murmured."Your mom cried this morning, but I don't know why…" Mike said.Hayd

"You are telling me that you earned three hundred million within weeks? Why don't you explain to me how you manage to earn that much?" He could not believe her, and he advanced on her. She retreated. They continued till Avery's legs knocked against the bed."Why do you care how I got it? You have a say when it comes to the baby, but you have no right to control me!" She shoved him in the chest."Monitoring you is the same thing as monitoring the baby!" He stood still and his eyes grew dark. "As long as the baby is still inside you, I have the right to control you!"Avery thought him to be ridiculous, but she did not know what to say in refutation. So, she responded with a half-truth, "The payment is for a surgery I had performed."The three hundred million dollars came from Elliot. It was the amount he had paid Zoe when she had "treated" Shea. All Avery did was take back what was hers. She did not feel bad about it. "Who?" He could not quite believe her explanation. "Who gave you

She stared at the pained and frustrated expression on his face and for a moment, she could not say a word.Elliot had come to the conclusion that Avery and Eric were in a relationship. If Avery had been him, she would have misunderstood as well. After all, under what circumstances would a woman accept a card from a man? A woman would only do so if the two were extremely close and had nothing to hide from one another. She never even accepted his card during their sweetest moments together as a couple.Thoughts came to a screeching stop when she saw his tears.Feeling as though she was being strangled, she found it difficult to breathe. She frantically tried to explain herself. "Elliot… He just asked me to keep the card safe for him… I didn't spend his money…""Really?" Elliot tightened his fingers around the card. "If that's the case, I will return this to him on your behalf."With that, he picked the clothes rack off the ground and walked to open the door.The faces of Mike and

[That guy looks decent. Who knew he would do such a thing!][He looks vicious and is obviously capable of violence! I would love to see which woman would be fearless enough to marry him!][So what if he is capable of violence? There are plenty of women out there who are willing to marry him even if he's a murderer! He's just that rich!][Ew! I would be so depressed if I was the woman who got slapped!][Who's that woman? Does anyone know her?

"I slapped Chelsea across the face," said Tammy. "I know that I was being impulsive, but I would do it again if given the chance! She is not the Mrs. President of Sterling Group just yet! How dare she pick on me?"Avery's heart felt heavy when she heard what Tammy had said. Tammy was at fault for starting the fight, but that was between her and Chelsea. 'Was it really necessary for Elliot to get involved?' thought Avery. "That b*st*rd Elliot Foster! I will never forgive him! Of course, he probably doesn't care about that!" Tammy said and glanced at Avery. "Avery, this is between me and Elliot Foster! You have nothing to do with this, so don't get involved. I got slapped because I had run my mouth, and he did not slap me only because of Chelsea." "It doesn't matter what you said to him, Tammy. He never should have hit you." Avery was reminded of a similar incident and said, "He had come close to strangling Hayden to death once, and Hayden still hates him. I suspect that he knows Ha

Chad sent Avery to Elliot's office and poured her a glass of warm water before asking enthusiastically, "Do you want something to eat?""No, thank you. Go back to what you were doing and just ignore me."The smile on Chad's face remained. "I don't have anything to do, so I can wait here with you!"Avery reached for the glass and took a sip of water."Avery, I heard what had happened yesterday. I heard about it as soon as Mr. Foster had hit Tammy. Please allow me to first explain what happened. Mr. Foster didn't strike Tammy because of Chelsea. He had struck Tammy because she had said a few inappropriate things to him. She called him a dirtbag, and she told him that he deserved getting dumped…" Avery stared at Chad coldly.Chad panicked and blurted out, "Um… Mr. Foster had already explained this to Jun.""The more you try and explain things to me, the more I resent him," said Avery as she set down her glass. Chad quieted down and said, "I'll wait outside."He sighed a long si
