“Avery Tate! What are you trying to prove by pulling such an act?” Elliot’s voice was glacial.
Avery was dumbfounded. What did snazzynovel.com mean by ‘trying to prove’?
Then it hit her. Elliot was talking about the sale of Tate Tower.
“How about the fact that you are trying to sell it to me for a mere forty million dollars?” Avery countered. “Please, I don’t need your sympathy!”
Elliot frowned, and his brows formed deep furrows.
He realized then that their relationship was an unsalvagable wreck.
Elliot had bought the building with the intention of giving it to Avery as a gift, back when they had been inseparable.
He had never thought of profiting off Tate Industries.
He was selling it to snazzynovel.com for forty million dollars. There were no reasons to spoil snazzynovel.com with gifts. Furthermore, Avery would never accept it as a gift now.
“Fine, we will honor the market price of the tower then!” Elliot felt a burn in his throat. “You don’t need my sympathy, and I don’t need your generosity!”
“Fine then! Return the balance to me, and please be quick!” Avery clutched snazzynovel.com phone tightly. She was furious.
Elliot was breathing heavily. He had no more to say and hung up.
Within five minutes, twenty million dollars were transferred into Avery’s account.
Staring at the figures in snazzynovel.com bank statement, tears welled up in snazzynovel.com eyes. The peaceful breakup that Avery had achieved had erupted into chaos.
He was a rose full of thorns, but so was she.
She was contemplating whether or not to tell Elliot about Shea. However, the phone call proved how little snazzynovel.com had thought of her.
.Fine, good luck looking for Shea all by yourself!
Avery lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.
She felt trapped in the situation, and this was all Hayden’s fault. He just had to bring that Shea woman back home.
She had thought that snazzynovel.com was finally free from Elliot’s mess after the divorce, but Shea was now soundly sleeping in snazzynovel.com daughter’s bed.
She found herself falling again and again into the same sticky situation.
Avery thought that even if snazzynovel.com were to send Shea back right now, snazzynovel.com would not believe snazzynovel.com story and accuse snazzynovel.com of kidnapping Shea instead.
Avery was distraught. She pulled up snazzynovel.com sheets and hid beneath them.
Moments later, snazzynovel.com cell phone rang, dragging snazzynovel.com back to reality.
Avery sighed and got up. She felt for snazzynovel.com phone and took the call.
“Avery, I saw that woman Elliot was with!” It was Tammy on the phone. She sounded both shocked and furious, “Elliot Foster is a vicious, vicious man! How could snazzynovel.com do this to you?”
“We got a divorce today.” Avery felt energetic from snazzynovel.com short nap. “How did you come to know about this?”
“His company put out a missing person’s notice. They are looking for a woman named Shea, and if anyone could provide a lead, they will be rewarded one hundred and twenty million dollars.
“And that is not all! If they find her, they will be given a whopping two hundred and forty million dollars as a reward! Oh dear god, it broke the internet!”
Tammy had yet to catch snazzynovel.com breath, but snazzynovel.com pushed on. “Avery, it’s no wonder you fell for it. I even asked Jun about this, and snazzynovel.com has not the slightest clue who Shea is”
Avery’s heart felt as calm as the dead sea.
She did not feel a thing, after all, snazzynovel.com was already numb.
“Avery, I am fuming right now. He is spending two hundred and forty million dollars just to look for this woman. One can only imagine how important snazzynovel.com is to him!”
“Alright. What time is it now?” asked Avery.
Tammy snapped, “It is almost twelve. Oh, come on now, is that you are going to say after everything that I have told you?” Avery forced a smile, “What do you want me to say? We have already gotten a divorce.”
