Tapping the headline, one could see the entire press release. Although the article was not long, its intention was clear. Elliot pointed out that he was not familiar with Eric. He did not boycott Eric. He would not do it then, he would not do it in the future.The brands who had canceled their contracts with Eric were bewildered!"What did Elliot mean! What did he mean! Was Elliot a hypocrite?" they thought.Elliot's phone was blasted with calls and messages, but that did not affect his sleep because his phone was off. Everyone could not get to Elliot, so they called Chad instead. Chad had been drinking the night before. His head hurt terribly when he woke to the shrill ringing of his phone. He was suffering from a hangover.Who would have thought that his head would hurt even worse when he picked up the call!

"What did he say?" Elliot sat in his chair, picked up the glass of milk, and took a sip."He asked about Avery and hung up."After breakfast, Elliot went upstairs to get his phone. Chad had called him early in the morning. Something must have happened. Elliot picked his phone up and pressed the power button once. The screen did not light up as expected.He pressed the power button longer. His phone turned on. He furrowed his brows. He did not remember switching off his phone the night before. "Why is it switched off?" he thought.Once his phone booted up, a bunch of messages and missed-called notifications flooded his phone. His chest tightened, and he tapped on the messages.[Mr. Foster, have you seen the news today? I've seen it and lost all appetite for breakfast.][Mr. Foster, what is your stance on Eric Santos? I don't understand. I'm in shock.][Mr. Foster, are you not boycotting Eric anymore? Can we partner up with him again?] …After looking at the messages, Elliot

When Avery heard Elliot's voice, a chill ran down her back. "Why is he not at work? Did he wait for me to wake up?" she thought.Avery awkwardly turned around and looked at him. Elliot was in a suit, and he had a serious expression on his face. The sun shining through the window cloaked him in its light, making him look more austere and aloof."I did take your phone to send out an email," said Avery. "I'll admit that it's wrong of me to take your phone without your permission, but you did not talk to me before you boycotted Eric."Avery was willing to come clean, but that did not mean that she had regretted her actions."Avery—""What? Do you want to settle the score? I didn't agree to sleep with you! You are a thug!" said Avery as she raised her head in defiance. "If I were you, I would shut up and just let this thing go."Elliot was at a loss of words upon hearing what Avery said.Mrs. Cooper saw how they were arguing, and she immediately came over to try her best and medi

"No need." Avery regretted what she had said terribly. She should not have struck up a conversation with him. At that moment, not only could she not continue the conversation, but she was feeling awkward too."Avery, I still have something to talk to you about. I'll send you home. We can talk on the way." The tone Elliot took told her that she would not be able to escape him. Avery grabbed her bag and followed him. Coming out of the mansion, he stretched his hand out to her. "Pass me the keys.""How are you going to come back?" After asking this question, Avery spotted his bodyguard in another car.Avery sighed secretly. No matter where Elliot went, his bodyguard would follow. "Why do I even worry?" she thought.After getting in the car, Elliot drove calmly drove out of the mansion. After the meal, Avery's blood sugar spiked, so she was a little dizzy."Avery, what are your plans for the children during their summer break?" asked Elliot. This was what he had wanted to talk to he

Avery was stunned.Initially, the employees had been privately discussing the matter amongst themselves, but it was obvious last night. When Elliot arrived at the event, he could not keep his eyes off you," chuckled the vice president. Avery said, "Eric was also looking at me last night.""That's different. If the child is Eric's why would Elliot continue harping over you? Elliot is not the losing type," said the vice president. Avery turned on her laptop.The vice president continued, "Elliot boycotted Eric. So many big brands chose to cancel their contracts with Eric because they did not dare to defy Elliot. Only our company dared to take Eric on. Why? Well, because you are carrying Elliot's child."Last night, during the live stream, many of our shareholders called me. They wanted me to tell you to not act so rashly. They told me that Elliot would surely come after you, but look at today's headlines! I was laughing my head off!"Miss Tate, the scandal this time turned us in

"It's because you are an idiot." Elliot was drunk, so he did not mince his words. "I paid you three hundred million dollars. You could have done anything with it, and yet, you choose to involve yourself with Cole. That proves that you two are birds of a feather."His words had brutally hurt Zoe!Avery had reclaimed the three hundred million dollars!If Zoe still had the money, she would not have settled for using the child in her to into a relationship with Cole. Cole was the best man she could find at the moment.The bodyguard helped Elliot into his car. Soon, the Rolls-Royce disappeared into the dark night.Zoe raised her hand to wipe her tears away.Not far behind her, Cole had both hands in his pockets. He said coldly, "Zoe, look at yourself! You embarrass me! My uncle has long abandoned you, and yet, here you are appearing like a sad b*tch! The man that you need to please now is me!"Upon hearing his mocking words, Zoe turned around. "Cole, when I had money, you wouldn't

Chad could guess why Elliot was angry. He immediately said, "Avery did not want Layla to enter the entertainment industry. It was Layla who pleaded and insisted on trying it out. You know it too. Layla is so adorable. Few could truly refuse her.""Layla might be immature, but is Avery? Avery is her mother. She should guide her child not spoil her!" Elliot said sternly.Chad said, "If Layla were to ask you, could you truly refuse her?" Elliot's expressions darkened. "Let's not talk about whether I can do it or not. I realized that your loyalties are starting to lie somewhere else!"Chad immediately stated his stance. "Definitely not. I'm only putting myself in Avery's shoes. If Layla were to come and plead with me, I would definitely give in to her. After all, she is so adorable. I have never seen a cuter girl than her."Chad's ass-kissing instantly wiped away Elliot's anger. Elliot knew that Layla was adorable. After all, Layla looked like Avery. Avery had often made him angry,

On the way to the restaurant, Avery said to the bodyguard, "Do not tell anyone of my schedule here, not even Mike. Half his loyalties lie with Elliot now, and I don't like to be monitored. If anyone asks you about me, just say that I'm resting at home."The bodyguard nodded. "Miss Tate, I will not be bought."Avery raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "Has anyone tried to buy you off?"The bodyguard was stunned for a while before nodding once more. "Elliot's assistant had tried to buy me off once, but I refused him." Avery gasped."Chad has already gotten Mike! How dare he still try to buy off my bodyguard!" thought Avery. "Elliot is really trying to get at me from all angles!" "I'm just carrying his child! Does he really have to worry this badly!" she thought. The more Elliot spied on her, the more she wanted to keep her location a secret.The car arrived at the restaurant, and Avery met with her former client. The client was overjoyed to see her. "Dr. Tate, my father is
