Chapter 1177


    Avery felt better when she thought of that.


    Perhaps, she was never destined to be with him after all!


    They could have as many children as they liked, but they would never be able to grow old together.


    "Don’t cry, Avery!" Mike felt a twinge of regret when he saw her weeping.


    He would never have called Elliot if he knew that would happen.


    "I''m fine..." She raised her hand to wipe her tears, "Just let me cry for a bit."


    "How am I supposed to go to thepany without worrying about you?" Mike said dejectedly.


    "I want to be alone." She spoke while being choked with sobs. "Drive me to my home." "Okay." Mike


    turned the car around at the intersection ahead and drove toward Starry River Vi.


    At the hotel, Chad pressed the doorbell to Elliot’s room.


    Elliot waspletely disconnected from everyone. His cell phone had not been turned on yet and he


    had not responded to any of the work emails that Chad sent.


    Chad was very worried, so he came to have a look.


    Unfortunately, he rang the doorbell three times and received no response.


    He wondered if Elliot had left the room.


    Chad immediately went to the front desk and asked, "Could you help me check if Mr.


    Foster left the hotel today?"


    The receptionist said, "I''m sorry, I''m not allowed to divulge this information because this concerns our


    guests'' privacy...


    "I''m his assistant." Chad took out his business card and handed it to the receptionist.


    She took it, nced at it, and returned it to him. "I''m sorry, Mr. Rayner. Perhaps you may wish to speak


    to our manager."


    Chad took back his business card and went to the hotel manager.


    When the hotel manager heard that he wanted to inquire about Elliot''s privacy, he immediately said,


    "Mr. Rayner, I''m aware that you’re Mr. Foster’s assistant, but I will still have to respect his privacy or


    else he won''t stay with us again in the future." Chad expressed his understanding. "I have no intention


    of infringing on his privacy. My concern is whether he ate his meals. I''m worried about his stomach


    issues."


    "You don''t need to fret over that. He had breakfast today."


    "Okay. Thank you." Chad left the hotel after getting that answer.


    He knew that Elliot was no longer in the hotel, but he did not know where the man could have gone to.


    It was disconcerting!


    Elsewhere, at a certainw firm, Elliot''s sudden visit came as aplete surprise to thewyer.


    "I could''ve gone to your ce so you didn''t need toe all the way here, Mr. Foster." Thewyer


    poured Elliot a ss of water. "I would like to entrust you to do something for me." Elliot''s face was cold


    =g->QKW? expressionless.


    Thewyer sat straight and said, "Sure. But don''t you have your own legal team?"


    "I want you to do it," he said.


    If he went to thepany''s legal team, the matter would soon spread to the higher-ups, which would


    defeat his intention of settling everything quietly.


    "Thank you very much for trusting me, Mr. Foster," thewyer said. "I have known you for many years,


    and I''ll definitely do my best to handle your affairs."

    "I want you to find someone." Elliot took out a note and put it on the table.


    A person''s name and phone number were written on it.


    Thewyer took the note, nced at it, and wondered, "Cole Foster... Isn''t he your nephew?" Barely


    seconds had passed when he immediately rephrased and said, "I''m sorry. I forgot that you''re not


    rted to them by blood. "
