Chapter 1176


    Mike''s stern roar resounded in Avery''s ears and reached Chad''s ears too.


    Chad''s anger surged up in an instant and he strode behind Mike to give him a pinch on the back.


    Mike endured the pain and immediately rephrased his sentence. "What I''m saying is that you don''t


    have to wait for him here! It''s such a waste of time! Nopany president woulde to work this

    early!"


    His exnation did not convince Avery.


    The phrase ''he''s noting'' echoed constantly in her mind.


    The strength in her body drained away like a balloon being deted.


    Mike dragged her out of the office with ease and they left the Sterling Group.


    He stuffed her into the car and fastened her seat belt. "I''ll get someone to drive your car back.”


    Mike got into the driver''s seat and immediately drove away.


    Avery looked out of the window and watched as she was going further and further away from the


    Sterling Group''s building. She murmured, "Mike, you said earlier that he''s noting. Who told you


    that?"


    Mike felt a headacheing on when he saw her in a trance.


    Telling her the truth would only trigger her emotions even more.


    "It was a guess. I''m a man, after all," he said. "Chad also told mest night that—" "What did he tell


    you?" she interrupted him immediately.


    "He told me that you were looking for Elliot, but Elliot didn''t seem concerned at all, so he assumed that


    the two of you were arguing with each other again." Mike looked at the road ahead with a guilty


    conscience.


    He was lucky that Avery could not see his face, otherwise she would have spotted his guilty look.


    "I didn''t argue with him."


    "Then he''s the one that''s arguing with you," Mike said. "The point is, the two of you must have had


    some kind of conflict, or else he wouldn''t have done something like this." "I don''t know. I didn''t argue


    with him, so why would he want to argue with me?" She was puzzled. "How am I supposed to know


    what he''s thinking if he''s avoiding me like this? He''s acting really strange this time."


    "He is. But you can''t just wait in his office like this. Aren''t you afraid that his employees willugh at


    you?" Mike said," You''ll be able to meet him if he wants to see you, but if he doesn''t, you''ll never see


    him even if you wait in his office for the rest of your life."


    "How much does he hate me if he doesn''t want to see me for the rest of my life?" she murmured.


    "I just said that at r;b!:WLR;om. I don’t think he''ll avoid you forever." Mikeforted her. "I''m sure you''ll


    see him tonight or in a couple more days."


    "Send me home!" She lowered her eyes slightly and felt exhausted. "I’ll go back and get some sleep."


    "Okay. It''d be good for you to clear your thoughts. He might even be home by the time you wake up."


    "I feel like he knows everything," she guessed. "There''s no reason for him to act like this otherwise.


    He''s not a fickle person, and he wouldn''t avoiding home just because of something minor."


    "If he knows, then so be it! When ites to everything, you need to prepare for the worst. It''s


    something you should have already considered when you were threatened," he said calmly. "It might


    not necessarily be a bad thing if he knows."


    "But he''s ignoring me now," she said emotionally. "Do you genuinely think it''s not a bad thing? I think


    it''s terrible! He’ll me me for not telling him, and me me for—" She could not bring herself to finish


    her sentence.


    She intended to ask him for shares, but in hindsight, she realized that she had been delusional!


    How could she have ever expected him to give her what she wanted?


    His decision to avoid her had already shown her what the result would be.


    Avery felt miserable when she thought about how she failed to fulfill her promise to Henry, that Adrian


    and Shea would die one after another, and that her rtionship with Elliot had reached an irreparable


    stage!


    She should have listened to other people’s advice, whether it was Mike’s or Wesley''s. Had she done


    so, neither she nor Elliot would have reached such dire straits.


    However, she was only considering what she had lost.


    In reality, the oue was good, at least for Elliot it was.


    He did not have to take out hispany''s shares, and he would not have the impulse to kill Henry and


    Cole.


    Elliot was only angry at her, and even if he lost her, he would still be able to live a decent and dignified


    life.
