Chapter 561 In Aryadelle.
The weekend just passed in a blink of an eye.
On Monday, Elliot arrived at the office. Chad followed behind him and entered his office.
“Yes?” Elliot switched his computer open. He looked up at35 Chad.
“Mr. Foster, is your phone not on?” Chad inquired cautiously. It was only after Chad asked him this that Elliot realized he did not bring his phone that day. He has been sleeping at home during the weekend. He slept well but still felt a little dizzy.
One would feel dizzy if they did not get enough sleep. Sleeping too much will cause the same effectee too.
“Mr. Foster, this is what happened,” Chad reported the main points of the things that had happened the day before to Elliot.
When Elliot heard the news, he had an expression of disbelief on his6f face.
“Go get the bodyguard to bring me my phone,” Elliot instructed Chad. When Chad left, Elliot looked at his computer screen.
The headline for that day popped up, [President of Sterling Group, Elliot Foster, Cheated of 1.568 Billion!]
Although he has already heard Chad describe the content of the piece of news, he still clicked on the popped-up news notification.
After reading the news, he rubbed the middle of his brow. It was alright to call him brainless due to falling in love, but why did they have to call Avery a7a con-woman?!
How absurd!
The piece of news had been circulating on the internet from the day before until that day. Even if he were to delete them, it was too late already. Everyone knew that he had been conped one and half billion dollars by Avery.
Even if he were to deny this rumor, most of the public would not believe him.
Elliot picked up the office phone on his desk and dialed the legal department. After handing this issue to the lawyers to deal with, his bodyguard arrived with his phone.
Elliot turned on his phone. Besides Chad and Ben, no one else looked for him. He wondered whether Avery had seen the news or not. He also wondered what her reaction was after seeing the news.
He looked for her contact. He wanted to call her, but he put his phone down.
He did not send out the press release. There was nothing to be sheepish about.
She made him return to his old life, was that not just asking him to become the person that does nothing but work?
In the past, other than at work, he never looked at this type of news. He would never be bothered by them too.
Elliot turned off the news webpage, opened his email inbox, and started to work.
In Bridgedale , when Avery woke up, she saw Tammy’s message. Other than asking her when she was returning to the county, she also sent her the news of her and Elliot.
The first reaction she had when she saw the news was that Elliot actually spent one and a half billion dollars to rescue her? Her second reaction was how was she a con-woman? A con woman?
Avery was so stunned she did not come to her senses for quite a long while, sitting in bed.
When Mike came and knocked on her door only did she come to her senses?
“Avery, are you feeling fine today?” Mike stood by the door and said, “If you don’t feel well, the children and I won’t head back to the Aryadelle today.”
When Avery heard that, she immediately got down from the bed.
“Mike, did you see the news back in Aryadelle!” She strode to Mike and asked, “Elliot spent one and a half billion dollars to rescue me this time?!”
Mike scratched his head. “I don’t know how much he actually spent. He didn’t tell me about it. But, he hired Yves Kant Security…this company is exorbitantly expensive. I’m sure it would cost around there!” Avery’s eyes fluttered. She pursed her lips tightly.
