Cole slapped Avery hard. If she did not cover the bruise on her face, she did not dare to return home, because if Elliot saw that she was bullied, he would surely get to the bottom of it and avenge her.At that moment, Adrian was still with Henry and Cole. She could not worsen the conflict between them.After dinner, Elliot brought the children to the courtyard to play.Mike and Avery were slowly walking behind them."Have you thought about what I said to you during the day?" Mike asked softly, "I have already contacted a professional assassin. I have been to Henry and Cole's house the last time. All I need is a nod, and this issue will be solved tonight."Avery was stunned. She asked, "I don't know where Adrian is being hidden. If you kill Henry and Cole, how are you going to look for Adrian?"Mike had not thought about this question, but he did not find this to be a huge problem. "When we kill Henry and Cole, we'll get Elliot to use his powers and send men and sweep the city. I

The next day, Avery got up early. She covered the bruise on her face with concealer.Elliot's hoarse voice suddenly came from the bed. "Avery, why are you up so early? Did you lose sleep?""I slept early last night, so I woke up earlier today." Avery looked at the time. It was not even seven in the morning yet. "Elliot, sleep a little longer. It's still early."Elliot looked at her made-up face. He said in confusion, "Are you heading out today?""I'm planning to go to work starting today. I can't stay home any longer." Avery smiled. "You were saying that I was thinking nonsense previously. If I were to go to work, I wouldn't be like that anymore.""Even if you're going to work, you don't have to get up so early. Come sleep with me a while longer." Elliot reached his hand out.Avery found it hard to refuse him, so she walked over to the bed and sat down.His deep-set eyes were looking at her face closely."I have never seen you make up for work before." He knew that she did not

Avery placed her phone down and slumped onto her desk, sobbing.Someone knocked and entered. When they saw her crying on her desk, they were stunned and immediately left the room!The person that knocked on the door was the Head of the R&D Department. He only wanted to come to talk to Avery about their new product, but when he saw her crying, he instantly panicked. He felt awkward too. He did not know what to do, so he could only pretend that he did not see her.He took his phone out and called Mike. He explained the situation to Mike and got him to go check up on Avery later.If he were to go to her office to check up on her at that moment, she would surely be in a terrible state.Half an hour later, Mike could no longer take it, so he pushed and entered her office.Avery was no longer crying. She was looking at her computer screen in focus. If he did not go closer to her, he would not be able to see what was wrong with her.Once he was close, he could see her reddened and puff

Elliot held his phone and looked straight ahead at Chad."Mr. Foster, your phone is ringing. Why are you not answering it?" Chad placed Elliot's lunch on his desk. He smiled as a reminder.Elliot's expression was cold. He said in a cold and low voice, "Leave."Chad realized that Elliot was not picking up the call because he was there, so he immediately left.Elliot answered the call."Mr. Foster, I have sent the call recording to your email. Please have a look," The person on the other end of the call said politely."Got it." Elliot hung up and looked at his inbox. He clicked into the new email.He could see the most recent recording. It was a call Avery made to Henry.He played the recording, and it was instantly played out loud in his office."Henry, I will give you the things that you want as soon as possible!" Avery's cold voice came through. "Don't hurt Adrian anymore! If you bully him again, I'll make sure that you won't get anything! He is your family! Not mine! If he d

Returning home, Avery felt empty.In fact, it was not always that Elliot could reply to her messages immediately. If she was not about to ask him for his shares, she would surely not be that nervous.She held her phone and refreshed her chat several times. She still did not get a reply.She sent Tammy a message, [Tammy, how are you and Jun recently?][Tammy: Nothing much. He has been quite busy recently.][Avery: When you send him a message, how long does he usually take to reply?][Tammy: He'll reply when he sees it! Why do you suddenly ask me about this?][Avery: I sent Elliot a message at noon. He has not replied to me yet.][Tammy: Why don't you just call him directly and ask? He must be busy, so he hasn't seen the messages, if not, he would surely reply to you.][Avery: I thought so too, so I don't think I should call him. He'll be back home by evening anyway.][Tammy: Hmm, didn't you go to work today too?][Avery: I brought Robert to get his vaccination, so I didn't go
