She could only remember fragments; she recalled receiving messages from Tammy, saying that she
had a surprise for her and asking her to hurry over. However, she couldn’t find Tammy when she
arrived.
After that, she started feeling extremely light-headed and fell asleep.
The room she woke up in was not the room she walked into earlier that evening.
‘Who moved me to another room?’ She thought. Unsettled, she took her purse and hurried outside the
room. As soon as she was out of the hotel, she calledJun.
“Avery, Tammy lost her phone. If someone calls or messages you asking for money, don’t do it!” Jun
said.
“Oh… When did she lose her phone?” Avery’s blood ran cold.
“Around three in the afternoon. Did you receive weird messages?”
Avery took a deep breath. “Is Tammy with you right now? I need to talk to her.”
“Oh, okay. She’s upstairs. I’ll go find her.”
Shortly after, Jun passed the phone to Tammy.
“Avery! My phone was stolen! Damn that thief! I reported it to the police but they said that it’s going to
be very hard to find it. I’ve been so caught up with this the entire morning. I have too much personal
information on my phone..” Tammy whined.
“Your phone is with me,” Avery said in a cold voice, “someone texted me with your phone yesterday in
the afternoon and fooled me into going to Caesar hospital.
“Huh?! Why would the thief lure you to the hotel? Avery, are you okay? You are scaring me!”
“I’m fine.” Avery still felt a little dizzy.
“I didn’t see anyone when I arrived at the hotel. I was probably drugged and fell asleep. Other than
feeling a bit dizzy, I feel alright.”
“Hurry and go get checked in the hospital! That thief is so weird.”
“Yeah, don’t worry. I will head to the hospital right now. Also, don’t tell anyone about this just yet, I don’t
want Elliot to worry,” Avery said.
“Okay, I won’t.” Still concerned, Tammy asked, “which hospital are you going to? I will go look for you
now.”
“There is a hospital for traditional medicines near the hotel.”
“I will go to you right away.”
The next day, in Sterling Group.
Ben had not been able to sleep the entire night and stormed directly into Elliot’s office as soon as he
arrived into the office in the morning.
“Elliot, I am not giving money to Avery on your behalf anymore.” Ben stepped towards the office desk
and said, “she can earn money on her own and she doesn’t need your money.”
Elliot gazed up in confusion. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. I just checked and you don’t have much money left, anyway. There’s no need to drain
yourself over a relationship,” Ben said with a cold expression and an even colder voice.
“She is the mother of my child. It’s only natural that I spend money for her.” Elliot noticed that Ben was
upset and asked once again, “what exactly is wrong with you?”
“If you have to ask, then I’ll tell you the truth!” Ben slowly began to lost his temper.
“I hate Avery. That woman isn’t worthy of the way you treat her! So what if she can give birth? Other
women can do the same! I’ve seen pathetic pursuers before, but none as lowly and egoless like you!
The more you put up with her, the less respect she shows you! Is this fun for you?”
Ben felt much better after speaking his thoughts; but on the other end of the desk, Elliot’s expression
instantly darkened. The pen he was holding dropped onto the desk as he stood up from his chair and
strode towards Ben, before grabbing him by the collar.
“Repeat what you just said!”
“I won’t pay Avery another penny on your behalf! You can either get a new Chief Financial Officer, or
give up on Avery Tate!” Ben swallowed hard and gritted out, “dump her as soon as she gives birth to
the baby!”
“Ben, don’t f*cking push me! I will never give up on Avery!”
“Then you are doomed!” Ben cursed, “that woman is going to ruin you!”
