Chapter 962
Mike heard the meaning behind her words, and he brutally shattered her illusion, "No matter where he's going, it's impossible that he's going to Sierra University. Why would someone as high and mighty as him willingly share the secrets to his success with a bunch of strangers? Take a look online and you'll see that he's never accepted many interviews. Besides, he's a man of a few words. Do you really think that he could stand up on stage and give a lecture?"Mike's words woke Avery up from her dream."I know Elliot. Why the heck am I harboring such delusions?!" thought Avery. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and Mike did not continue to make fun of her."How about I give Chad a call and ask him about it? Maybe he really is going to Mount Sierra?" Mike stopped making fun of Avery, but he could not stop himself from making fun of Elliot. "Mount Sierra is a nice place. They've got beautiful mountains and fresh air. It's a great place to go on vacation. Maybe he's just saying he

"It's not like he takes me with him on every business trip." Chad put down his glass of water, then asked sharply, "Why is Avery suddenly asking about Mr. Foster? Can't she ask him herself?""She left for a trip today, too. It's also for a week. Which was why she asked if I knew where your boss was going." Mike let out a hearty guffaw. "She was wondering if he was going to the same place as she is. I told her it was impossible! Why would Elliot Foster ever attend some ridiculous professional training course? With that temper, the only thing he is suited for is being the king of hell. He is certainly not fit to be an instructor! I can't even imagine his stone-cold face eloquently giving a lecture in front of a crowd!"Chad furrowed his brows as he felt that something was off. "Where is Avery going?""Sierra University. What about your boss?""Ah! He's going to Mount Sierra too!" Chad was suddenly in high spirits. "Is Avery going to Sierra Univesity to give a lecture too?"Mike burs

"Welcome to Villa de Sierra, Miss Tate." The staff member handed over an entry pass to Avery, then said, "You may only enter and exit the villa with this pass. Please keep it on you at all times."Avery took the pass. Dragging her suitcase, she entered the modern villa that thrummed with the grandeur of modern technology. When she stepped into the foyer, she suddenly noticed that the villa was much more spacious than it looked from the outside.She felt like she had walked into a majestic maze.She pulled out her phone and found the course schedule that the vice president had sent her. She dragged her suitcase and began to search for the multipurpose training hall.Soon, she arrived at the hall's entrance, knocked on the door, then walked in.There were about twenty to thirty men and women seated in the hall.After Avery entered the hall, everyone's eyes turned toward her at the same time.Her cheeks suddenly flushed. Just as she was about to apologize for being late, she hear

The entire hall broke into pandemonium!Up on the podium, Elliot's ears turned red.He knew that Avery was speaking out of rage, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart.However, this was a public setting, and he could not turn her into the target for scrutiny."Come up here, Avery Tate," Elliot said, then stepped off the podium and asked the students at the front row to move back a row.He had Avery sitting in the front row all by herself. Without anyone next to her, there would not be any more arguments.After Avery took a seat in the front row, she shot a glare at Elliot. Then, she pulled out her phone and texted the vice president right in front of him.[Elliot Foster is here too. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?]The vice president: [You wouldn't have gone if I told you about it. I spent forty-five thousand on that course. I couldn't just let that money go to waste.]Avery: [Can I just send you the forty-five thousand dollars and leave tomorrow?]The vice presi

"Can you not try and give me a bad name, Elliot?" Avery was trying her best to remain clear-headed and not get dragged into Elliot's tempo. "If I really wanted to chase you a thousand miles away, I wouldn't have let you come to the birthday party yesterday."Elliot pursed his lips. He wanted to say something but ended up keeping it to himself."I'll take you to your room to get some rest." He picked up her suitcase and walked toward the door."You know my room number?" Avery watched as he led the way, then said, "Did you really bribe my vice president? Where do you find all your courage, Elliot?"Elliot stood waiting at the doorway for her, then said, "It's now what you think. Your vice president asked me for help at the hotel yesterday. His son really is sick. He wanted to get a refund on the enrollment fees, but the organizers didn't allow it, so I helped him out with that. When I asked him to ask you to come here, he refused at first, but he changed his mind after seeing how wel

At that moment, the door to the room next door opened, and the woman sauntered sultrily into the room!Avery's eyes widened.She could not believe that Elliot was just flirting with her half an hour later and was now messing around with another woman!She instantly felt like the world was spinning around her. She could understand what was playing out in front of her.Their rooms were right next to each other, but Elliot had the audacity to openly fool around with a woman in his room. "Does he really think that the rooms are soundproofed and that I would not be able to hear him having fun?" thought Avery. Avery was so disgusted that she completely lost her appetite.She turned back into her room and slammed the door behind her!"What a joke! How could I have not seen Elliot to be the man he truly is?" thought Avery. She was too gullible and had thought him to be a man of integrity, who would keep his personal life in check!Avery was so furious that her cheeks flushed. She st

The doorbell to Avery's room rang a while later.Avery heard it, but she did not feel like opening the door nor did she want to know who was on the other side.She felt hollow. It was as if she was floating on the surface of a body of water but could not drown no matter how much she wanted to.She wondered for a moment why she felt this hopeless. She wondered if she still harbored delusions about Elliot. Despite all the times he had lied to her, she had never really learned her lesson.Otherwise, she could have immediately left after he revealed his plan.The doorbell continued to ring and it gave Avery a splitting headache.She had a feeling that whoever was ringing the doorbell would not cease until she opened the door.She held onto the edge of the bed for support, got to her feet, then dragged herself toward the door.When she opened the door, a tall, familiar silhouette appeared before her.The moment Avery saw Elliot, she took a step back on reflex."Avery! You got it

Avery opened up her contacts and found her mother's contact card.She sent a text to the number.[Elliot and I are back together, Mom. This time, we cleared up all of our misunderstandings. I believe that we won't ever be apart again after this. I hope you're doing well up in heaven. I'll live a good life and raise the kids well.]After Avery sent the message, she put down her phone and prepared to go back to sleep.At that moment, something suddenly lit up in the room.She glanced over to the source of light and saw Elliot's phone screen flashing on the nightstand.She could vaguely make out that he had received a text message, but she could not see who it was from or what it was about.He had never kept his phone from her. He would not get mad even if she looked through it.If his phone was by his pillow, she might have taken a look out of curiosity. However, she did not feel like getting out of bed and waking up, so she abandoned the thought of checking it out.She closed h
