Chapter 562
Mike looked at her serious expressions and guessed, “Are you going to pay the money back to him?! We don’t have that amount of money!” Mike exclaimed with a gasp.
Avery had a serious expression. She asked him, “How much money do we have right now?” Mike was stumped. “I have never paid attention to this problem. You’re the boss! Don’t you know how much money we have?”
Avery has never paid attention to this problem before35 either.
“Take the children back to Aryadelle first. I’ll head back in a few days.” Avery changed the topic. “Shouldn’t you all head out by now? Don’t miss the flight.”
Mike understood her too well, so he could not help but persuade her, “Avery, Elliot did not send out the press release. Chad told me that it was sent by his rivals, but it was only killing two birds with one stone. The one and half billion dollars is an astronomical amount to us, but not to Elliot. You don’t have to stress yourself over this money. What you need to do now is to pay attention to your health. You have a child inee you!”
“I know.” Avery calmed down a lot.
“You’re having a child for him. Just take this money as child support!” Mikeof continued.
Avery looked at her two children nearby. “Let’s stop talking about this. Stay safe. Text me when you reach Aryadelle.”
“Hmm. If you’re not back in a week, I’ll come over to pick you up,” Mike68 said.
“We’ll talk about it then!” Avery sent them out of the door.
Once they left, Avery returned to the mansion. She returned to her room and changed her clothes before getting the bodyguard to send her to Alpha7a Technologies.
She wanted to make clear how much money she could take out at that moment. One and half billion dollars was not a small amount. It was not something that she would be able to pay Elliot back under a whim of anger.
When Mike arrived in Aryadelle with the two children, Chad immediately came to the Starry River Villa.
He came over on the basis of making them a meal and pulled Mike over to the kitchen to talk in private.
“Has Avery seen the news?”
2/2
Mike said, “Hmm. Tammy must have told her.”
“Oh. Mr. Foster got our lawyers to sue the magazine company,” Chad continued asking, “What was Avery’s reaction after seeing the news?”
“What do you think her reaction would be?” Mike asked rhetorically.
“From what I know about her, I think she would want to pay Mr. Foster back the money,” Chad analyzed, “But I don’t think she would be able to take out that much money for the time being.”
“Hahaha! You got it right! But she doesn’t know how much money she has. She’s in business not to accumulate wealth but to find something for herself to do,” Mike could not help but take a jab when he thought back about how lost Avery looked when he asked her how much money they had.
“She probably founded a company to rebuild the Tate Industries,” Chad corrected him, ‘But according to the way her company is growing, paying back the one and a half billion dollars is not difficult.”
“Why must she pay back?” Mike and Avery were people in the same boat. Of course, he would side with Avery. “Elliot forked out the money of his own volition. We didn’t force him to do it.”
Chad was dumbfounded. “Mr. Foster didn’t ask Avery to pay the money back. Why are you so worked up?”
“Please don’t tell me you’re trying to get in the way here?” Mike glared at him. “Don’t tell me that Elliot got you to come here?”
Chad raised his hand and swore, “Mr. Foster is not that low! Also, Avery is pregnant with his child. How could he get her to pay him back?”
At eight that evening. The black Rolls-Roice was driving on the busy road.
Elliot was sitting in the backseat, resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his phone rang.
He opened his eyes and looked at his screen. It was a message from Avery.
He did not read what she sent immediately but looked at the time instead.
It was eight at night in Aryadelle, meaning it was eight in the morning in Bridgedale.
He tapped into her message.
[I’ll pay you back the money, but I don’t have that much with me right now. I’ll pay you back in installments.]
He knew that she would send him a message because of this incident. She had such a strong ego. How could she bear being called a con-woman by the public?
