Chapter 564

Since when did he force Avery to return the money? It was her! She was the one that forced herself to
return the money to him!

“Do you think I asked her for the money?” When Elliot said that, his voice was trembling a little.

Chad shook his head furiously. “I know that you would never ask her for the money, but you can ask
her to stop paying you back.”

“Do you think she will listen to me?” Elliot said sarcastically, “Do you think she will listen to me!”

Chad was stunned.

“Did Mike get you to come and say these to me?” Elliot swallowed. He furrowed his brow see tighter.

Chad shook his head. “He knows that it would be pointless telling you this. I only feel that… even if it’s
pointless telling you. At least you took a stand. If she still doesn’t listen to you, whatever happens next,
at least no one would blame you.”

“I understand. Please leave.”

Elliot was not worried if he was blamed. He was only worried that something might happen to her
health.

After Chad left, Elliot picked up his phone and dialed Avery. The call was connected but no one picked
up. After the system automatically hung up, Elliot placed his phone68 down.

He felt as if he was a puppet attached to strings and Avery was controlling the strings in her hand.

He was going crazy because of her!



He picked up his coffee mug and realized that the mug was empty. He called his secretary on the office
phone and a moment later the secretary knocked on the door and entered.

It was right at this moment when his phone on the desk rang.

He picked his phone up and when he saw Avery’s name on the screen, his gaze darkened. He
immediately picked up the call. “Avery, what the hell are you doing? What the hell do you want!”

His roars scared his secretary half to death. The secretary remained in the same spot in a daze!

On the other end of the line, Avery was stunned too.

She just came out from the washroom and was about to go to bed. She noticed a missed call from him,
so she dialed him back. She never thought that he would bark at her angrily.

“What happened to me?” Avery sat down by the bed, baffled. She muttered, “Elliot, what the hell are
you mad about?”

“I’m mad? Who is the mad one here?” Elliot stood by the window, looking at the bustling city. He asked,
“Who told you to take on random jobs? Was it me? Did I force you to return the money to me?”

Avery listened to the bombardment of his questions and roughly understood why he was angry.

“I did not take on random jobs.”

“You’re lying!” Elliot barked, “Have your injuries healed? Other than recuperating, who told you to do
other things? Your disregard for everything and desperation to earn money. Have you ever thought
about how I felt!”

The secretary was bewildered! Never have the secretary seen Elliot so mad! In everyone’s eyes, Elliot
was a logical person. He was so logical he felt inhumane at times.



However, at that moment, he has become such an emotional man!

Facing Elliot’s reprimands, Avery breathed heavier before slowly calming down. “I did indeed accept a
surgical operation because of money. The work is still acceptable with my body condition. This is not
some random job. Also, it’s late. I want to rest.”

Avery finished talking but did not immediately hang up the call. She wanted to see what Elliot’s reaction
was. However, Elliot did not react at all. After a moment of silence, Avery hung up the phone.

It must have been Mike who told them in exaggeration that she was accepting private engagements. If
not, Elliot would not have been so angry.

Avery turned off the lights and lay down. She closed her eyes.

She has a clear conscience about what she has done. She owed him so much money. She had to find
a way to earn that money to pay him back

Elliot returned to his office chair and sat down.
