Chapter 2105


    Wesley called Avery and asked her about the Marshall''s Award. She went to look at the calendar


    and realized that the ceremony was right around the corner.


    "I heard that Ang is going to be the winner of the award," Wesley said. "Are you going to the


    ceremony?"


    Avery had been locking herself inside the study to work for the past few days. She wanted to take a


    break and was curious about what would happen during the ceremony as well, so she said, "Um... I


    guess so!"


    "I wanted to go, too, but I can''t leave Shea and our daughter, just like how you can''te back


    because of Elliot. Avery, if you see Ang during the ceremony, you can try to liaise with her to see


    if she can exin the mechanism of the device to you..."


    "It''s not that easy. Ang cannot be persuaded by money." Avery massaged her temples. "If only


    it''s that simple, I would have paid her as much as she wanted.”


    "If you don’t talk to her, you will never know. We only know Ang through the words of others,"


    said Wesley, hoping to encourage her. "I don''t want you to spread yourself too thin."


    Avery chuckled. "I''ll find a chance to talk to her tomorrow, then."


    "If it''s really not working, you can try bringing up Professor Hough to create some sort of emotional


    bond with her," he said.

    "No! I don’t want to use Professor Hough like that. Besides, Ang and Dean are getting married


    the day after tomorrow, so she has probably let go of any feelings she had toward Professor Hough.


    If I bring him up again, it would just upset her."


    "Up to you, then. Just see how things go."


    "Okay."


    Suddenly, she heard a knock on her door and immediately hung up, before walking over to open the


    door.


    Elliot stood outside the door in formal wear, clearly about to head outside.


    "Chad is here. I am going out to grab a coffee with him," he said coldly.


    Avery was surprised. "When did he arrive? I''ll tag along!"


    "It''s fine. You should go to sleep." He took onest nce at the eye bags under her eyes and


    turned to leave.


    Avery wanted to say something, but Elliot had already strode off. She realized that perhaps he was


    angry at her for being too busy to talk to him.


    She went back into the study room to grab her phone and called Mike.


    "Mike, is Chad in Bridgedale?"


    Mike paused for a moment. "Who said that?


    "Elliot! He said Chad is here and that they are going out for coffee."


    "He didn''t tell me!" Mike eximed. "That jerk-"


    "Don''t get angry at Chad just yet. Go ask him and see if he''s really in Bridgedale. I think Elliot is


    mad at me. He didn''t look too pleased, and when I offered to go with him, he refused," Avery said


    anxiously.


    She panicked at the feeling like something was spinning out of control. Elliot was only going out for


    a cup of coffee with Chad, so why was she this nervous?


    Mike hung up and called Chad right away.


    Chad picked up right away. "What''s up?”


    "Can''t I call you when nothing is up?" Mike asked sharply.


    "Are you looking for a fight? I''m busy." Chad did not intend to tolerate Mike''s temper.


    Mike realized that what Avery said was true.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that you areing to Bridgedale? I heard you are out with Elliot for coffee,


    how rxing!" Mike said sarcastically. "Did Elliot call you here or are you here on your own will?"


    "I''m here because of work, which I can''t discuss with you," Chad retorted. "You didn''t tell me


    anything when you and Avery created Dream Maker either, did you?


    With that, he hung up.
