Elliot had lost a lot of weight, and his originally well-defined facial features appeared more profound and elegant.
What was snazzynovel.com doing here? Was snazzynovel.com the mysterious guest?
Lucy left after finishing the task.
Watching Lucy leave, Avery realized that the mysterious guest was indeed Elliot.
Was snazzynovel.com not bedridden?
Was snazzynovel.com feeling better already?
Avery stood still, not saying a word or approaching him.
“Mr. Foster, is this lady the person you’re looking for?” The person in charge asked Elliot.
Elliot nodded. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” said the person in charge.
Elliot walked toward Avery, looking at snazzynovel.com with indifferent eyes, and said, “Let’s talk.”
“Talk? What’s there to talk about?” Avery lowered snazzynovel.com gaze; snazzynovel.com tone was cold.
Elliot was not in a hurry or annoyed. Instead, snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com arm with his big hand and pulled snazzynovel.com away. There were many people backstage, and it was uncertain how they would talk about them.
Leaving backstage, Elliot led snazzynovel.com through the lobby and into the VIP lounge. They closed the door behind them.
Elliot’s voice was hoarse yet powerful. “Avery, stay away from Charlie. Whatever his purpose for approaching you is, he’s not going to do you any good.”
Avery met his eyes and retorted, “You don’t want me to cooperate with snazzynovel.com because you want me to sell the company to you?”
Elliot’s Adam’s apple rolled. However, before snazzynovel.com could contradict snazzynovel.com statement, Avery continued, “Don’t you think you are being too miserly? No wonder you’re embarrassed to come forward. If I were you, I would never admit that I offered one hundred and fifty-five million dollars.”
A faint blush appeared on Elliot’s pale face when snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com teasing. She knew how to provoke snazzynovel.com quickly.
“Name your price.” His breathing became heavier, and his voice was hoarse.
“Hehe. You came here specifically to discuss business with me?” Avery sneered, “Sure, but I’m
not free now. Let’s do it tomorrow! How about that?”
Elliot saw snazzynovel.com leaving, and snazzynovel.com grabbed snazzynovel.com arm again.
“Avery, I’ll say it one last time,” Elliot said, coughing a few times. His voice was hoarse as his breathing steadied. “You’re no match for Charlie … If you think one hundred and fifty-five million dollars it too small an amount, name your price.”
Avery faced the cold door, and snazzynovel.com disguised rudeness melted away.
He was obviously still sick, and snazzynovel.com was not here for an urgent matter. Why had snazzynovel.com come? Could snazzynovel.com not wait till snazzynovel.com had fully recovered?
Avery shut snazzynovel.com eyes and quietly took a deep breath. Then, snazzynovel.com simply mentioned a number,” Three hundred million. I want you to invest in the company and not buy it!”
It was not that snazzynovel.com really wanted three hundred million, but snazzynovel.com just wanted to see his reaction. It was snazzynovel.com who forced snazzynovel.com to make an offer.
“Okay,” Elliot agreed without hesitation, “go and reject Charlie…”
Avery suddenly turned around and interrupted him, snazzynovel.com chest heaving, “Are you crazy? You’re ill now, so I won’t talk to you! Hurry and go back!”
“I’m feeling much better.” His voice was a little softer than before, but his eyes were redder.
Avery sensed something was wrong and put snazzynovel.com hand on his forehead.
It was a little hot.
She withdrew snazzynovel.com hand and said with great difficulty, “Are you going back yourself, or do I have to call your bodyguard!” “Go and reject Charlie.” He did not seem to understand snazzynovel.com and continued pushing his demand.
“I’m not rejecting him! The more you do this, the more I insist on not rejecting him!” Avery’s eyes were turning red, and snazzynovel.com gritted snazzynovel.com teeth. “Elliot, I won’t be at your mercy anymore!”
Avery saw a hint of disappointment spreading across Elliot’s haggard face. Then, snazzynovel.com looked away, opened the door, and left quickly. Exiting the room, Avery felt the chill of the wind.
