Chapter 947
The bodyguard had checked the surveillance footage from the previous night and discovered when it was that the man came.That man came after the sun set and waited there for about 20 minutes until Elliot came back.He left as soon as he spotted Elliot.His car was parked in the surveillance cameras' blind spot and was therefore not photographed. Without the car plate number, there was no way to find out his personal information.The surveillance cameras did not capture a clear shot of his face either, since he kept his head down when he saw Elliot.It was only when he and Elliot looked at each other that his face was caught by the camera.However, the lack of proper lighting meant that the picture was very blurry.The bodyguard took a screenshot of the video and printed it out to show Elliot.Elliot looked at the photo over and over again but could not quite remember where he had seen that person before. For some odd reason, however, he felt that the person was quite familiar.

Avery glanced at him boldly too.She, like him, dressed up exceptionally well too, for she wore the most expensive dress in her wardrobe. Her makeup was light and delicate while her hair was tied up naturally, completing her elegantly stylish look."Let's go in," he said."You go ahead! I'll wait out here." Avery was waiting for Tammy.Elliot frowned. "Weren't you waiting for me?"Avery rolled her eyes. "That's quite the wishful thinking you're indulging yourself in. Not to mention your shamelessness. I'm here to welcome my guests, and I'm waiting for all of them to arrive. But that doesn't include you even though you're on the guest list."Elliot glanced at the guests in the banquet hall and said to her, "You should go on in and rest for a bit. I'll welcome the guests here.""Tammy and Jun are the only ones who aren't here," she said. "Could you give Jun a call and ask them?"Elliot took out his cell phone and dialed Jun's number, but the call went unanswered.He dialed Tammy

Layla nearly blurted out 'Daddy'.At that point, her arm was yanked and she was whisked away, for Hayden had dragged her to the other side because he did not want to meet Elliot.Disappointment flashed through Elliot's eyes when he saw his son pulling his daughter away."You look like a famous person, Sir," When Daniel saw Elliot, he immediately came to strike up a conversation.Elliot understood that the fat boy was a social butterfly."The famous person you mentioned is over there." Elliot pointed in Eric's direction and turned around to find Avery."But I'm not talking about Eric! I don't fancy celebrities!" Daniel ran up with Elliot. "Are you Elliot Foster, the famous businessman? The tax you pay annually is higher than the GDP of certain countries! I'm such a big fan!"Elliot was speechless."Can I get an autograph, Sir? I'd love to look up to you as my idol, learn from you in the future, and strive to be a great person like you!"Elliot looked at Daniel's sincere look an

Avery hit the nail on the head with that statement, because that was exactly what Elliot had been thinking.In addition, he had also sworn himself to put on a good impression in front of all her close friends.Although they had not yet fully reconciled, they were almost there.Other men—especially Eric—had better not hit on Avery again.He took his hand back and prepared to entertain the guests.Avery was still worried, so she said to him, "Don't pull a long face today. Everyone here is a guest. You may politely refuse if you don't want to toast or drink, but don't make it too blunt. That applies to everything else. Like that boy earlier. He means no harm, so why do you have to make him unhappy?"He committed all her instructions to memory."Got it. Just watch me."Avery saw him walking toward the guests, but she could not bear to take her eyes away from him.It was not just because he changed, but because he had always been a source of fascination for her."Mommy, I want to

Eric probably felt that he had a responsibility to help Avery entertain the female guests, which is why he indulged their requests for photographs, autographs, and just general small talk.He did not even have the time to take a sip of water."Why don't you call him over to have a bite!" Avery said to Mike."Don't try to be funny. He won't pay attention to me at all," Mike sighed, "He's too handsome, so it's no surprise that Elliot feels threatened.""How do you know that Elliot feels threatened?" Avery failed to see how that was the case."Don't you think Elliot dressed up like a peacock today?" Mike teased, "I don't suppose he dressed up so handsomely for all these little kiddos?"Avery could not help but laugh. "Stay here and take care of the little kids. I'll check on Robert.""Bring him here if he's awake!" Mike said."Yeah. He hasn't been in a place with so many people yet! I wonder if he'll be scared." Avery said, then she strode towards the exit of the banquet hall.By

One of the players next to him laughed and said, "Mr. Foster's assistant went to get some cash for him. He's going to bleed a lot today!"Everyone burst into laughter.Avery's cheeks were slightly red. She did not expect Elliot to put in so much effort to entertain the guests."Don't place your bets too big," she reminded."Are you starting to mourn for his wallet, Avery?"Everyone laughed again.Elliot glanced at her with intrigue and asked, "Would you like to sit next to me and advise me?"Avery avoided his profound gaze and said to the others, "You guys have fun. Bleed him dry, fellas."She then walked away with the child in her arms.Jun came over to her from the buffet area carrying a plate."Don't worry about Elliot. He's not going to lose money."Avery stubbornly corrected Jun, "I'm not worried about him.""Then why did they laugh so loudly just now?" Jun had seen right through her and exposed her true thoughts. "By the way, what did Tammy say to you outside? Did she

Daniel asked Layla, "Why isn't your father here yet?""My dad's been here since the beginning! He's in the banquet hall now!"Daniel scratched his head and looked around."Which one's your dad? Why isn't he playing with you here? Is he a lazy bum who enjoys himself all day and slacks off at his job? Is that why your mom isn't with him? Is that the reason you don't like him either?" Daniel allowed his thoughts to run free as he made wild guesses.Layla was stunned, but she was very much against telling Daniel the truth. "My dad isn't a lazy bum who enjoys himself all day and slacks off at his job! I just don't wanna tell you who my dad is! You said you're better than Hayden, right? You should find my dad yourself!"Mike smiled and asked, "Why do you want to know who Hayden and Layla's father is?"Daniel said, "I'm just curious! My mom said that Hayden's father is Elliot, but my dad said it's not Elliot. The two of them argued several times about this."Mike laughed. "Then do you

"About what? Can't we talk now?" Avery asked. Her conscience was clear.Their misunderstanding had been resolved and all he wanted to talk about was to ask her for another chance.She politely refused the last time, but she still could not bring herself to agree at the present.It was not so much that she hated him, but more so that she did not feel as though she had calmed down sufficiently.Moreover, the current relationship between the two of them—where they respected each other and were neither too cordial nor too distant—was actually pretty good."If we talk now, we won't be able to reach a conclusion." He could already guess what she was thinking just by looking at her expression."Do you think you'll be able to get to a conclusion after you come back from a business trip?" Avery found it incredulous. "How long is your business trip?""A week.""Oh, then we'll talk about it in a week!" She lowered her eyes and glanced at his hand holding her arm. "You didn't wash your han
