The interview was posted online by the reporter. Soon, the video became an instant sensation on the
internet
The rumors circulating that Avery had scammed 1400 million out of Elliot had already caught a lot of
attention and this was the first time Avery had ever responded to it.
To everyone’s surprise, the rumors were true; what was more shocking to most was the fact that Elliot
had not sued her or requested compensation. It was a wonder to everyone and they couldn’t help but
wonder if Elliot was truly that easily fooled.
In Sterling Group, Elliot returned to his office after being in a meeting for an hour and found countless
messages when he turned on his phone. Every message was followed by a short clip. He scowled and
played the video.
‘Miss. Tate, we heard that you scammed 1400 million out of Elliot Foster, may I know if that’s true?’
‘It's true.
“…” Everyone was instantly rendered speechless.
‘You have to be joking, Miss. Tate. If it’s indeed true, why hasn’t he sued you?’
‘Because Mr. Foster is far too rich and 1400 million means nothing to him. If anyone of you want to
become rich overnight, all you need to do is lie to him. He’s easily fooled.’
Elliot’s expression immediately darkened. Had he not seen her face and heard her voice from the
video, he would never believe it to be68 true.
The door was pushed open and Ben walked in laughing.
“Elliot, have you seen the video? Hahaha! Did you piss her off?”
Elliot set his phone down and took a sip of water out of the glass.
“She seems to be doing fine.” Ben walked towards him and said, “you two haven’t met since she came
back, have you?”
Indeed, they hadn’t met in person, but they had already gotten into an argument.
“Do you want to see her?” Ben asked, “I can figure something out if you do…”
“I don’t want to.” Elliot put the glass down.
“If we meet, it’s either she pisses me off, or I piss her off. She is pregnant right now, and I don’t want to
get her angry.”
Neither did he want to get angry, so it was best for them to not meet.
“Can’t you two communicate properly?” Ben sighed.
“Do it for the baby, at least! You can’t let the kid come into this world without a father, can you?”
“She doesn’t want me to be the father of her children.”
“Then be more forceful! You can’t let her get whatever she wants.”
Elliot gave Ben a look. “She won’t accept me even when I’m not being forceful; she is going to resent
me if I try to be more forceful.”
“…But you can’t just let her be. Her belly will begin to show in a month or two and people will start to
guess who the father is.”
“Let’s wait until then. My head is hurting.”
“Hahaha! She is a piece of work, but because she is different from other women that you can’t give up
on her.”
Outside the office, Chelsea’s expression darkened as she listened to their conversation.
Elliot had admitted that he couldn’t give up on Avery and that he was going to take the responsibility to
care for Avery and the baby once her belly showed.
‘Haha!’ She thought, ‘what if Avery’s belly never gets to show?’
Chelsea didn’t dare to directly harm Avery in any way, but there were indirect ways to cause a
miscarriage. After all, if the mother was extremely emotional, the embryo would suffer greatly as well.
After attending the summit, Avery stepped out of the hotel with her bodyguard. Suddenly, her phone
started to ring and she took it out to answer the call.
The caller said something and she smiled, before hanging up.
Confused, the bodyguard asked, “Who called, Miss. Tate? Why didn’t you say anything?”
Avery put her phone back into her purse and said, “you will find out later.”
Once they were in the car, Avery gave the bodyguard a name of a restaurant.
The bodyguard drove and guessed, “did Elliot Foster ask you out, Miss. Tate?”
The smile on Avery’s face froze at the mention of Elliot’s name. “Why would you mention his name? Do
you think I’d be this happy if he is the one asking out?” The bodyguard quieted down.
