Kabanata 589


    Chad sent Avery to Elliot’s office and poured her a ss of warm water, before asking enthusiastically,


    “do you want something to eat?”


    “No, thank you. Go back to what you were doing and just ignore that I’m here.”


    The smile on Chad remained. “I don’t have anything to do, so I can wait here with you!”


    Avery reached for the ss and took a sip of35 water.


    “Avery, I heard what happened yesterday as soon as Mr. Foster hit Tammy, so allow me to exin


    something to you first! Mr. Foster didn’t raise his hand on Tammy for Chelsea’s sake, it was because


    Tammy had made a few inappropriatements. She called him a dirtbag and said that he deserves


    getting dumped by you…”


    Avery stared at Chadee coldly.


    Chad panicked and blurted out, “um… Mr. Foster had already exined this to Jun.”


    “The more you try to exin, the more I resent him.” Avery set her ssóf down.


    Chad quieted down and said, “I’ll wait outside.”


    He sighed a long breath after exiting the office. Shortly after, Elliot stepped out of the elevator and


    walked towards his68 office.


    Chad went up to him and whispered, “she is really angry, Mr. Foster, so be careful. Also, her belly has


    grown a bit bigger, so you must refrain even if she pisses you off…” Elliot swallowed hard and strode


    into the7a office.


    When Avery saw him walking in, she immediately took the contract out of the folder.


    “This is the tripartite agreement we signed before,” she drawled in a calm voice, “the cooperation


    between mypany and the Border Security Force doesn’t need your involvement disguised as


    charity work”


    “Disguised as charity work?” Elliot scowled.


    “You only decided to donate the money because you were pursuing me, not because you believe in the


    cause,” Avery lifted an eyebrow and continued, “I’m terminating this tripartite agreement. This is not to


    be negotiated, I’m only here to inform you about it.”


    Elliot looked at her coldly. “You are here for Tammy Lynch.”


    “So what if I am?”


    “I hit her, and you hate me for it.”


    “So what if I hate you for it?”


    “Is terminating one contract enough to settle the grudge?” He walked towards her and took her hand,


    before cing it onto his face. “Here. p me across the face and avenge your best friend!”

    Avery pursed her lips and tried to pull her hand back, but he wouldn’t budge.


    “Come on!” His eyes reddened as he gritted out fiercely, “other than your best friend, there’s also your


    son! Have you forgotten that I came close to strangling your son to death?! I’m the devil! I will harm


    anyone who crosses me! It doesn’t matter if it’s your best friend, or your son, I won’t show them any


    mercy!”


    She could feel his burning breath on her face and she somehow seemed to have caught his evilness


    from it.


    Avery raised her hand and struck at Elliot’s handsome-looking face. The deafening sound wa like a


    whip to her heart. Her palm went numb from the pain, along with her heart.


    ‘I hit him,’ she thought, ‘he provoked me into hitting him!’


    Just then, the office door was pushed open and Chelsea hurried inside in heels.


    “Avery Tate! Who gave you permission to raise your hand at him? Do you have a death wish?!’


    Chelsea saw the palm print on Elliot’s cheek and threw herself at Avery hysterically.


    Elliot grabbed her by the arm and gritted out, “I was the one who told her to do it! Don’t evei try toy


    your hands on her, Chelsea Tierney!”
