"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? She looks quite pretty from the side profile!]…After a shower, Avery took a folic acid pill and lay down on the bed, but because she had taken a nap in the afternoon, she did not feel tired at all. She unlocked her phone and saw a message from the university chat group.She went into the chatroom and found out that a heated discussion was underway.Someone sent a message that said, [That woman looks so much like Tammy from the side!][That woman might look a lot like Tammy, but it's definitely not her! No one dares to bully Tammy!] wrote

"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

Chelsea did not expect Elliot to still protect Avery under such circumstances. Feeling wronged and bitter, she began to cry. Chad hurried inside and dragged Avery out from where she was seated."I don't know why Chelsea showed up," he explained seriously. "Let me see you off first!""No thanks." She pushed Chad's hand away and strode toward the elevator.She was overwhelmed at the moment. She came with the intention of confronting Elliot, but she had not expected herself to strike him. Though he had instigated her into striking him, it did not change the fact that she had hit him. Elliot was hot-tempered and would often get into arguments with her, but he had never raised his hand at her.After exiting the elevator, she walked toward the parking lot. She then got into her car and drove back to the company. While she was driving, she received a call from Tammy."Avery, I heard that you hit Elliot for me… Didn't I tell you to not go looking for him?" Tammy was so stunned by th

Avery thought about it from another perspective. If Elliot had slapped her, she would resent him for life. She would have gone to the hospital and gotten an abortion out of spite. When she thought about it that way, she secretly thought that Elliot might never look for her ever again. A week had passed, and Tammy and Avery were in one of the most elite restaurants in the city. The bruise on Tammy's face was almost gone, and Tammy had asked Avery out for a meal. Tammy fully intended to buy Avery a meal.Initially, Tammy had invited the children, but Wesley had taken them and Shea out."Avery, Elliot did not go looking for you for the past few days, right?" said Tammy, worry tinting her voice."Hmm." Avery ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to Tammy."I heard that he has been at home for the past few days. He never left the house." When Tammy said that she could not help but laugh. "I don't really hate him anymore. For real. It really tickles me that now he is feeling wor
