Chapter 557
The next morning, Shea went to Avery’s room and softly bade her goodbye, “Avery, I’m leaving. Get well soon. Once you’re well, you must return to Aryadelle!”
She was afraid to disturb her, so she did not stay for long. She quickly left Avery’s room.
Avery opened her eyes and looked at the empty room. She was disappointed.
At eight in the morning, a Golfstream G650 private jet took off from Bridgedale Capital Airport. Its destination: Aryadelle Capital35 Airport.
After more than ten hours of journey, the jet slowly descended on Aryadelle Capital Airport.
The time in Aryadelle at that moment was six in the morning. Wesley came back together withe8 them.
“Mr. Foster, thank you for taking us home,” Sandra thanked Elliot.
Elliot replied, “You’re79 welcome.”
“We’ll make a move!” Sandra said.
Elliot swallowed his saliva. After a short moment of hesitation, he said, “Mrs. Brook, don’t blame Avery for Wesley’s injuries. She didn’t even tell me that she was Professor Hough’s last pupil. Wesley got kidnapped because he was once Professor Hough’s assistant, not because Avery got him in87 danger.”
Sandra was stunned. Elliot said what he wanted to say and left.
“Mom, what did you say to Avery?” Wesley sat in the wheelchair. He had a serious expression. “Avery is also a victim, how could you blame7a her?”
Sandra’s eyes instantly reddened. “I’m sorry, son. I’m just very upset. You initially have a bright future, but it’s all gone now. If you didn’t get to know Avery, this would not have happened.”
Wesley sternly rebuked, “Mom! Has Elliot not made himself clear just now? This has nothing to do with Avery!”
Sandra said, “How does this not have anything to do with her? If Professor Hough did not take her as his last pupil, nothing would have happened.”
Wesley said, “Since when becoming excellent is a mistake? If you think that way, then I’ll just be a loser for the rest of my life!”
News of Elliot returning to the country soon spread.
“Elliot came back alone. Avery is still in Bridgedale.” Wanda shared the news she got firsthand with Zoe. “Also, when Elliot returned, he immediately went to work. I suspect that something has happened to their relationship.”
“‘That shouldn’t be! Elliot has spent one and a half billion on Avery!” Zoe found it hard to believe. “Could it be that Elliot has dumped Avery?”
“No matter who dumped who, Elliot’s one and a half billion has gone to waste!” Wanda said, delighted in Elliot’s misfortune. “Avery could never pay him back so much money.”
Zoe said sourly, “Elliot is an extreme male chauvinist. Even if they split up, he would not get Avery to pay him back.”
Wanda said, “One and half billion is not a small number even to Elliot. It’s not that Elliot might not want to get it back from her, perhaps he just finds it hard to tell her?”
Zoe raised her eyebrows. “What are you planning to do?”
Wanda smiled mysteriously and whispered her plans in Zoe’s ears.
In Sterling Group
Once Elliot arrived at the office, he completed all the piled-up work for the past few days. He did not even drink a sip of water before rushing off to meet a client.
Chad followed behind him and texted Ben, (It’s most likely that they broke up.]
Ben texted, (I went to see him this morning. I could see it from his expressions. Don’t let him drink later.]
Chad replied, [Got it. Ben, how much did Mr. Foster spend this time in Bridgedale?]
Ben replied, […why do you want to know?]
Chad texted, (He has been working hard. I’m suspecting that his wealth has been emptied.]
Ben replied, (Not really. I think he’s just numbing himself with work.]
Chad kept his phone and quickly walked over to Elliot’s side.
“Mr. Foster, after the meeting, I’ll send you back to rest,” Chad said, “It’s closer to where you stay here.”
Elliot said, “I’m not tired.”
Chad explained awkwardly, “In the afternoon, the company organized a two-day team building session for the staff. You can rest well at home during this time. If you don’t want to
rest, you can come with us for team building.” Elliot’s gaze dimmed. “Is there another choice?”
