Chapter 578

She glanced at him dazedly, and turned away after just one look, before stepping out of the elevator
and walking past him.

“Avery!” He grabbed onto her arm forcefully.

She paused, before punching him in the chest with her free hand. “Let me go!” She yelled in a hoarse
voice, “let me go!”

Elliot released her after seeing her reaction. Noticing the tears in her eyes, he swallowed and asked,
“what’s wrong, Avery?”

She was clearly emotional and he couldn’t imagine what could have happened to have triggered it.

Avery stared at his face and the pain in her heart grew. If only Elliot had not asked the doctor to give
her the medicine, there might be a chance that their baby would not end up like this. She wanted to
blame him, but her senses told her that there was no point in doing so when he didn’t do it onee
purpose.

“Don’t follow me, Elliot Foster!” She said in tears, before turning to leave.

Elliot watched as she walked away. He couldn’t stay calm and ran after6f her.

Just then, the door to the elevator opened and Mike stepped out.

It was the receptionist who called Mike and asked him to68 come.

“Elliot Foster! What are you doing here?” Mike caught up to Elliot and grabbed him by the arm. “Are
you here looking for Avery? What do you want from her?”



Avery turned around from a distance when she heard Mike’s voice and when Mike saw her red, teary
eyes, he instantly came to the conclusion that she had been bullied by Elliot.

“F*ck! How dare you bully Avery!” Mike swung his fist and hit Elliot on the face.

Elliot couldn’t react and took the punch. His expression darkened and immediately retaliate with a
punch as well.

“President! Director Mike is fighting Elliot Foster!” Startled, the receptionist stopped Avery on her track
and said, “hurry and go stop them!”

Avery stopped

“President Tate! I think Director Mike is losing!” The receptionist panicked as she watched the fight
unfold.

Avery took a deep breath and strode towards them.

“Stop it!” She stopped at a spot that was a step away from them and roared, and the two instantly
ceased fighting.

The receptionist gaped. She could understand why Mike obeyed Avery, but Avery had just scammed
1400 million out of Elliot, so why did he obey her as well?

“Fight somewhere else if you want to and leave me alone!” Avery said while sobbing, before leaving

Elliot wanted to go after her, but was stopped by Mike.

“Elliot Foster! What the f*ck did you do to Avery?!” Mike asked angrily while wiping the blood off the
corner of his mouth.



Elliot glared at him viciously. “I did want to do something but didn’t have the time to!”

“Then why is she crying?!”

“Let go of me! I’ll go ask her!” Elliot flung his hand away.

“It’s really not your doing?” Mike grabbed hold of his arm again in disbelief.

The receptionist brought two cups of warm water and handed it to the two. “Director, Mr. Foster ran into
President Tate in the elevator…and they haven’t even spoken much to one another…so I think he’s not
the one who made her cry,” the receptionist explained.

Unable to bear the tension between the two men, she hurried back to her post. Mike released Elliot’s
arm awkwardly.
