Chapter 248

Chad’s face turned hot. Thought someone said he wasn’t going to come today?

Why did Elliot suddenly appear? Do his words not mean anything?

Both Ben and Chad dashed towards Elliot as they tried to ask him.

Elliot answered, “I just happen to be around the corner, so I thought I’d drop by and check the party out.”
“I thought you‘d be too chickened to come!” Mike walked towards Elliot as he pulled him to the drinking
table, “Today we gather to celebrate Avery’s birthday. Rule number one, no scolding is allowed.
Secondly, no fighting. Let‘s all drink!”

Mike handed out an empty glass to Elliot and filled it up with liquor.

Avery was stunned. Did they start on the drinks before dinner? She saw a group of men all staring at
Elliot with Mike leading them.

She realized what it was! As she walked over, Tammy stopped her. “Let them be!” She pulled Avery to
the side, “Did you forget how he treated you a few days ago? I have warned Jun not to save him. You
too!”

Avery blushed, “But dinner hasn‘t even started yet...”

“I‘ll get dinner started,” said Tammy.

“Okay,”

Moments later, food was served. Tammy got Avery to sit down and asked, “Avery, this dress looks
gorgeous on you! It wasn‘t your idea to wear this, eh?”



Avery blushed and replied, “Mike chose it for me.”

“I knew it. I‘m going to ask him out next. He has great taste,” Tammy made a decision to befriend Mike.

“He‘s an expert at it,” said Avery as her feet were still hurting from all the walking that day. Mike was fine
though.

“Avery, I think you should remind Mike that Elliot‘s not very good at drinking,” Jun looked at Elliot
worriedly.

“Thought you were on our side?” Tammy glared at Jun.

“Of course I am! But what if he was too drunk and something bad happens?” Jun took a look at Elliot‘s
table and continued, “They already finished a bottle of liquor in thirty minutes!”

Avery stood up, intended to walk over to stop them.

“Avery dear, Elliot is not alone by himself. He‘s with Ben and Chad, they will take good care of him, don‘t
you worry.” Tammy held her hand and pulled her down on her chair, and added, “ Plus, he has a
girlfriend now. He doesn‘t need your concern.”

Avery calmed down as soon as she heard what Tammy said.

Ben and Chad both helped Elliot with the drinks, and not much went into Elliot‘s systems. Mike pulled
Chad away and said, “Let‘s drink one on one, Chad!”

Chad walked away with Mike with his glass in his hand. Their table went quieter as Mike and Chad left.
After all, Mike was the leading the ruse. The rest of them were not as courageous to intoxicate the boss
of Sterling Group.

No one dared to go up against him.



Ben raised his glass and laughed as he said, “Let‘s toast!”

They resumed drinking again.

Avery felt relieved as she saw Mike leave the table. She picked up her fork and started eating.” Avery,
did you like the gift I sent you?” Tammy asked as they chatted away.

Avery laughed, “Of course! But how did you manage to keep so many ugly photos of me?” Tammy gave
Avery a photo album for her birthday.
