Chapter 969

Avery opened up her contacts and found her mother's contact card.

She sent a text to the number.

[Elliot and I are back together, Mom.This time, we cleared up all of our misunderstandings.I believe that
we won't ever be apart again after this.I hope you're doing well up in heaven.I'll live a good life and
raise the kids well.]

After Avery sent the message, she put down her phone and prepared to go back to sleep.

At that moment, something suddenly lit up in the room.She glanced over to the source of light and saw
Elliot's phone screen flashing on the nightstand.She could vaguely make out that he had received a
text message, but she could not see who it was from or what it was about.

He had never kept his phone from her.He would not get mad even if she looked through it.

If his phone was by his pillow, she might have taken a look out of curiosity.

However, she did not feel like getting out of bed and waking up, so she abandoned the thought of
checking it out.

She closed her eyes as she no was no longer afraid of any unknown terrors.

At seven the next morning, Elliot slowly awakened from his slumber.

When he saw Avery lying quietly next to him, his brows relaxed and a tender smile appeared on his
face.

He was afraid of waking her, so he decided to lie down next to her for a while.



He grabbed his phone from the nightstand and saw the new text message.

The moment he finished reading the message, his expression instantly turned frighteningly ominous!
An hour later, Avery groggily opened her eyes.

She had trouble going back to sleep after she had woken up the night before, so she was not in a great
mood and was still groggy.

The scene in front of her made her even more certain that she was perhaps still dreaming and had not
actually woken up yet.

"You're up?"

The one who spoke was Roger Goldstein's niece.

As if she was shocked by an electric current, Avery immediately sobered up.

"What is this woman doing in my room?!" thought Avery.

She instantly sat up in bed and stared in shock at Elliot.

Elliot had a cigarette in one ,while his other arm was wrapped around the woman.

The pair stood by the bed and gazed at Avery as if she was a monkey in the zoo.

"Didn't you say you were leaving today, Avery? Hurry up, pack your bags and go!" Elliot said as he
exhaled a faint ring of smoke.

"What the hell are you saying, Elliot Foster?!"

Avery's hands clenched tightly around the covers as she reprimanded him at the top of her lungs.



"You and this woman...Didn't you say you weren't close? Why are you holding her?! Didn't you say you
wanted us to get married? Am I remembering wrongly, or did you lie to me again?!"

The intense argument could clearly be heard from outside the room.

Soon after, Avery burst out of the room with her suitcase.

With tears in her eyes, she dragged her suitcase and hurried toward the elevators.

"Wait for me, Miss Tate!"

Elliot's bodyguard ran after her.

Avery stood still in front of the elevator doors, then glared at the bodyguard with reddened eyes.

"Why are you following me?! Did your boss tell you to come and humiliate me?!"

In the room just moments ago, Elliot had told her to her face that he would not marry her, and that all
the sweet talk from the night before was just a ruse to get her in bed. The humiliation she had suffered
in her life was nothing compared to the humiliation Elliot had put her through on this day.

She almost wanted to slap herself in the face!
