Tammy's words left Avery speechless. It was all her own fault!Why did she have to accept Elliot's gift?!Things would not be this awkward if she had just rejected it.Avery hung up on Tammy, then called Mike and said, "Don't you think you should tell me before reorganizing a birthday party for me?""What if I told you, and you said no?" Mike said. He knew her too well. "If I inform everybody else before I tell you about it, then you would have no choice but to show up."Avery laughed bitterly."You have fun with everybody on your own, then! I'm not going!""I already invited Elliot Foster! That shameless man accepted the invitation right away!" Mike said mockingly. "Your ex-husband sure is thick-skinned, Avery. Why do you like men like him?"Avery lifted her hand to massage her temples, then hung up the phone.Tammy called again less than a minute later."Elliot's going to the party, Avery! I thought that someone as proud as him would definitely decline the offer, but he d

The wild ambition in Zoe's eyes was clear and undisguised.Cole felt his dying soul being awakened.Now that he was in the same boat as Zoe, her success meant his success.Women could gain honor through their children, and so could he.He would gain honor from his child!…At 10 p.m. that night, a black Rolls-Royce pulled into Elliot's mansion.Elliot had attended a dinner event tonight.He had done this because one of the country's top entrepreneurs in the drone industry was in attendance.Elliot wanted to understand every aspect of Avery's company.From the information he had gathered at the dinner, he discovered that although Tate Industries had been rebuilt, it had hit a wall when it came to their sales. Alpha Technologies was formidable abroad. The attention and reputation it had achieved were outstanding. However, Avery did not bring Alpha Technologies to Aryadelle. Instead, she had revived Tate Industries. Although products were same, a different brand also meant

At the Lynch Mansion, Tammy took out a t-shirt for Avery."What on earth happened to you? How did you manage to fall and rip the buttons of your blouse off?" Tammy looked at her all suspiciously and guessed, "Avery, did you get into a fight with someone?"Avery replied as she put on the shirt, "Yeah, you guessed it.""And you lost right? You look terrible. Shall I hire you a bodyguard?" Tammy said as she poured Avery a glass of water. "You are now worth 100 million dollars. It’s essential to have one. Look at Elliot, he has a bunch of bodyguards following him around. I heard they are all extremely well trained…"Avery smiled wryly and said, “If that’s the case, I don’t need to hire anyone else.”Tammy asked, “Why?” and as she asked the question, she understood. "Is he out of his mind? Why he finds trouble with you?"Avery took a sip of the water and placed down her glass."Thanks for the shirt. I'm heading back to the office now." Mike had called her to get some updates on the d

Chad's face turned hot. 'Didn't Elliot say he was not going to come today? Why had Elliot suddenly appeared? Did his words not mean anything?' huffed Chad silently to himself. Both Ben and Chad dashed toward Elliot as they tried to ask him their questions.Elliot answered, "I just happen to be around the corner, so I thought I'd drop by and check the party out.""I thought you'd be too chickened to come!" Mike walked toward Elliot and pulled him toward the bar. "Today, we are gathered here to celebrate Avery's birthday. Rule number one, no yelling is allowed, and secondly, no fighting. Let's all drink!"Mike handed Elliot an empty glass before proceeding to fill it with liquor. Avery was stunned. Did they really intend to start drinking before they had dinner? She saw a group of men staring at Elliot. They were led by Mike, who in turn, was flanked by the managers.She realized what was happening! As she made to approach them, Tammy stopped her. "Let them be!" She pulled Avery

Elliot suddenly held Avery's hand. She released her grip on her phone, and he instantly released her hand. Ben was right, he was directing the speech toward her. The managers’ jaws dropped.Oh shit! Was something about to happen? Avery's face burned, and she took a gulp of the juice that she had filled her glass with.Fortunately, today was only her birthday celebration and not her actual birthday. 'Getting a lecture on my birthday celebration, what a treat!' thought Avery sarcastically. Elliot went on and on about his secrets of success while raising his glass from time to time and drinking with everyone.He did not seem to have forgotten that today was her birthday celebration.Avery had two plates of pasta and a plate of fresh fruits. An hour later, and he was still droning on. She propped her head up with her hand as she gazed at him. Elliot cleared his throat and turned to her, "Avery, did you understand what I just said?""Let's drink!" Avery looked down as she helped hers
