Chapter 1649

"You aren't going to ask what I'm using the money for?" she asked.

"1.5 million isn't a small amount."

"I don't have much cash on the card I'm currently using so I'll get Ben to transfer the money to you," he
responded calmly.

"Is 1.5 million enough?"

"Are you really not curious about what I need it for?" she said.

"You must have a reason.I don't need to know why.If you want to tell me, you would," he drawled.

"You've never come to me for money through the years we've been together, so I'm quite happy that you
are asking for money now." Avery fell silent when she heard what he said.

"If you really want me to ask, I can ask why," he added.

Avery interrupted him.

"Don't ask.Just give me 7.5 million!"

He was stunned for a moment.

"Okay."

After the call, he called Ben and told Ben to transfer 7.5 million into Avery's account.

"Why are you giving her so much money? Did she ask for it?"



"Do I need a reason to give my wife money?"

Ben came close to spitting the tea he was sipping on.

"You might as well just hand her all your money, then, instead of having me manage it."

"Sure.Transfer all my money to her, then," Elliot said casually.

Ben felt defeated.

"You really didn't ask her why she needed it?"

"She kind of wanted me to ask, but I didn't."

He did not think it was important.

"She will tell me when she can't hold it in any longer."

"I think you had it coming.If I was Avery, I would just straight-up ask for 15 million," Ben sneered.

"Maybe I did have it coming.She was asking for 1.5 million earlier, but changed her mind because I didn't
ask her why..."

Ben was not sure if he wanted to laugh or cry.

"I admit defeat. I'll just call her and ask!"

He called Avery after completing the transaction, and she responded politely, "I got the money."

"Yeah.May I know what you need it for?" Ben asked.

"I asked Elliot about it and he said he doesn't know, so I'm curious."



Avery was instantly reminded of Ben's message to Elliot the night before at the sound of his voice, and
she simply could not bring herself to pretend as if nothing had happened.

"I will explain it to him at night."

"Oh, okay."

Ben could sense that she was distancing herself but knew better than to ask about it.

In the evening, Elliot arrived home early, only to realize that Avery was not home.

"Avery went to see Shea.She should be back soon," Mrs.Cooper explained.

"She didn't tell me about this."

He took out his phone to call her.

"Let me call her."

As soon as Elliot dialed the number, Mrs.Cooper noticed the door to the front yard opening a car was
moving in slowly.

"Mr.Foster, Avery is back."

Elliot hung up and strode outside to the yard so that Avery would run directly into him once she got out of
the car.

"Why did you get off work so early today?"

She held his arm and they walked back to the mansion together.

"I've already spent 1.5 million out of the money you gave me this afternoon."



"How?"

Learning his lesson, he immediately asked the question Avery wanted him to ask
