Chapter 162


    Chapter 162 “Avery Tate! What are you trying to prove by pulling such an act?” Elliot’s voice was


    cial.


    Avery was dumbfounded. What did he mean by ‘trying to prove’?


    Then it hit her. Elliot was talking about the sale of Tate Tower.


    “How about the fact that you are trying to sell it to me for a mere forty million dors?” Avery countered.


    “Please, I don’t need your sympathy!”

    Elliot frowned, and his brows formed deep furrows.


    He realized then that their rtionship was an unsalvagable wreck.


    Elliot had bought the building with the intention of giving it to Avery as a gift, back when they had been


    inseparable.


    He had never thought of profiting off Tate Industries.


    He was selling it to her for forty million dors. There were no reasons to spoil her with gifts.


    Furthermore, Avery would never ept it as a gift now.


    “Fine, we will honor the market price of the tower then!” Elliot felt a burn in his throat. “You don’t need


    my sympathy, and I don’t need your generosity!”


    “Fine then! Return the bnce to me, and please be quick!” Avery clutched her phone tightly. She was


    furious.


    Elliot was breathing heavily. He had no more to say and hung up.


    Within five minutes, twenty million dors were transferred into Avery’s ount.


    Staring at the figures in her bank statement, tears welled up in her eyes. The peaceful breakup that


    Avery had achieved had erupted into chaos.


    He was a rose full of thorns, but so was she.


    She was contemting whether or not to tell Elliot about Shea. However, the phone call proved how


    little he had thought of her.


    .Fine, good luck looking for Shea all by yourself!


    Averyy on the bed staring nkly at the ceiling.


    She felt trapped in the situation, and this was all Hayden’s fault. He just had to bring that Shea woman


    back home.


    She had thought that she was finally free from Elliot’s mess after the divorce, but Shea was now


    soundly sleeping in her daughter’s bed.


    She found herself falling again and again into the same sticky situation.


    Avery thought that even if she were to send Shea back right now, he would not believe her story and


    use her of kidnapping Shea instead.


    Avery was distraught. She pulled up her sheets and hid beneath them.


    Momentster, her cell phone rang, dragging her back to reality.


    Avery sighed and got up. She felt for her phone and took the call.


    “Avery, I saw that woman Elliot was with!” It was Tammy on the phone. She sounded both shocked and


    furious, “Elliot Foster is a vicious, vicious man! How could he do this to you?”


    “We got a divorce today.” Avery felt energetic from her short nap. “How did youe to know about


    this?”


    “Hispany put out a missing person’s notice. They are looking for a woman named Shea, and if


    anyone could provide a lead, they will be rewarded one hundred and twenty million dors.


    “And that is not all! If they find her, they will be given a whopping two hundred and forty million dors


    as a reward! Oh dear god, it broke the inte!”


    Tammy had yet to catch he breath, but she pushed on. “Avery, it’s no wonder you fell for it. I even


    asked Jun about this, and he has not the slightest clue who Shea is”


    Avery’s heart felt as calm as the dead sea.


    She did not feel a thing, after all, she was already numb.


    “Avery, I am fuming right now. He is spending two hundred and forty million dors just to look for this


    woman. One can only imagine how important she is to him!”


    “Alright. What time is it now?” asked Avery.


    Tammy snapped, “It is almost twelve. Oh,e on now, is that you are going to say after everything


    that I have told you?” Avery forced a smile, “What do you want me to say? We have already gotten a


    divorce.”
