In Aryadelle.
The weekend just passed in a blink of an eye.
On Monday, Elyette arrived at the office. Chad followed behind him and entered his office.
“Yes?” Elyette switched his computer open. He looked up at Chad.
“Mr. Foster, is your phone not on?” Chad inquired cautiously. It was only after Chad asked him this that Elyette 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 Elyette.
When Elyette heard the news, he had an expression of disbelief on his face.
“Go get the bodyguard to bring me my phone,” Elyette instructed Chad. When Chad left, Elyette looked at his computer screen.
The headline for that day popped up, [President of Sterling Group, Elyette Foster, Cheated of 1.5 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 Averie a 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 Averie.
Even if he were to deny this rumor, most of the public would not believe him.
Elyette 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.
Elyette turned on his phone. Besides Chad and Ben, no one else looked for him. 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.
Elyette turned off the news webpage, opened his email inbox, and started to work.
In Bridgedale , when Averie 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 Elyette.
The first reaction she had when she saw the news was that Elyette actually spent one and a half billion dollars to rescue her? Her second reaction was how was she a con-woman? A con woman?
Averie 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?
“Averie, 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 Averie heard that, she immediately got down from the bed.
“Mike, did you see the news back in Aryadelle!” She strode to Mike and asked, “Elyette 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!” Averie’s eyes fluttered. She pursed her lips tightly.
Mike looked at her serious expressions and guessed, “Are you going to pay the money back to him?! We don’t have that amount of money!” Mike exclaimed with a gasp.
Averie had a serious expression. She asked him, “How much money do we have right now?” Mike was stumped. “I have never paid attention to this problem. You’re the boss! Don’t you know how much money we have?”
Averie has never paid attention to this problem before either.
“Take the children back to Aryadelle first. I’ll head back in a few days.” Averie changed the topic. “Shouldn’t you all head out by now? Don’t miss the flight.”
Mike understood her too well, so he could not help but persuade her, “Averie, Elyette did not send out the press release. Chad told me that it was sent by his rivals, but it was only killing two birds with one stone. The one and half billion dollars is an astronomical amount to us, but not to Elyette. You don’t have to stress yourself over this money. What you need to do now is to pay attention to your health. You have a child inee you!”
“I know.” Averie calmed down a lot.
“You’re having a child for him. Just take this money as child support!” Mikeof continued.
Averie looked at her two children nearby. “Let’s stop talking about this. Stay safe. Text me when you reach Aryadelle.”
“Hmm. If you’re not back in a week, I’ll come over to pick you up,” Mike said.
“We’ll talk about it then!” Averie sent them out of the door.
Once they left, Averie returned to the mansion. She returned to her room and changed her clothes before getting the bodyguard to send her to Alpha Technologies.
She wanted to make clear how much money she could take out at that moment. One and half billion dollars was not a small amount. It was not something that she would be able to pay Elyette back under a whim of anger.
When Mike arrived in Aryadelle with the two children, Chad immediately came to the Starry River Villa.
He came over on the basis of making them a meal and pulled Mike over to the kitchen to talk in private.
“Has Averie seen the news?”
Mike said, “Hmm. Tammy must have told her.”
“Oh. Mr. Foster got our lawyers to sue the magazine company,” Chad continued asking, “What was Averie’s reaction after seeing the news?”
“What do you think her reaction would be?” Mike asked rhetorically.
“From what I know about her, I think she would want to pay Mr. Foster back the money,” Chad analyzed, “But I don’t think she would be able to take out that much money for the time being.”
“Hahaha! You got it right! But she doesn’t know how much money she has. She’s in business not to accumulate wealth but to find something for herself to do,” Mike could not help but take a jab when he thought back about how lost Averie looked when he asked her how much money they had.
“She probably founded a company to rebuild the Tate Industries,” Chad corrected him, ‘But according to the way her company is growing, paying back the one and a half billion dollars is not difficult.”
“Why must she pay back?” Mike and Averie were people in the same boat. Of course, he would side with Averie. “Elyette forked out the money of his own volition. We didn’t force him to do it.”
Chad was dumbfounded. “Mr. Foster didn’t ask Averie to pay the money back. Why are you so worked up?”
“Please don’t tell me you’re trying to get in the way here?” Mike glared at him. “Don’t tell me that Elyette got you to come here?”
Chad raised his hand and swore, “Mr. Foster is not that low! Also, Averie is pregnant with his child. How could he get her to pay him back?”
At eight that evening. The black Rolls-Roice was driving on the busy road.
Elyette was sitting in the backseat, resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his phone rang.
