Chapter 590 Chelsea didn’t expect for Elliot to still protect Avery under such circumstances. Feeling wronged and bitter, her tears started scrolling down her face uncontrollably.
Chad hurried inside and dragged Avery out from where she was seated.
“I don’t know why Chelsea showed up out of the blue,” he explained seriously, “let me send you down first!”
“It’s fine.” She pushed Chad’s hand away and strode towards the35 elevator.
She was overwhelmed by emotions at the moment. Indeed, she had come to confront Elliot for what happened with Tammy, but she had not expected for herself to actually struck him. Though he was the one who forced her to do so, it did not change the fact that she had hit him.
Elliot was hot-tempered and would often get into arguments with her, but he had never raised his hand atee her.
After exiting the elevator, she walked towards the parking lot and got into her car, before driving back to her company.
Along the way, she received a call fromóf Tammy.
“Avery, I heard that you hit Elliot for my sake… Didn’t I told you not to go looking for him?” Tammy was so stunned by the news that even her cheek had stopped hurting. “How can you be so brave? Aren’t you scared that he might hit you back?”
To Tammy, any man who would raise their hands at women or children knew no68 limits.
“I went to him for work,” Avery lied and said.
“What kind of work? Now that you’ve hit him, how are you two going to face one another from now on?” Tammy felt that she could just suffocate by imagining the7a situation.
“I don’t have to see him,” Avery said calmly, “take care of yourself and remember not to eat anything spicy…”
“Pftt! Avery, I feel much better now that you’ve taken revenge for me. I feel great,” Tammy said while chuckling, “I’ll treat you a big meal once my face recovers.”
“Sure.”
After ending the call, Avery drove towards the office.
There was an old saying that said “Good news goes unnoticed, while bad news travels fast’.
Within half an hour, the entire office had learned that Avery slapped Elliot across the face. As
soon as she entered the office, she could sense that the receptionist was giving her an odd look and when she arrived into her office, Mike immediately appeared before her.
“Does your hand hurt, Avery?” Mike propped his arms against Avery’s office table and stared at her face with his blue eyes. “Chad said that you gave his boss a palm print on the face! Elliot couldn’t stay in the office anymore and went home right away.”
Avery scowled. “Do you have to be so happy about it?”
“Haha! I just think you did the right thing! Some men deserve a good spanking! Tammy might be a bit dramatic, but she is on our side and we can’t just let others bully our people, right?” He said.
Wanting to be alone for a while, Avery said, “get out.”
“Chad assumes that his boss would probably leave you alone from now on, because Elliot has never been so humiliated! So I guess you are on your own with raising the new baby.”
Avery’s eyelids felt heavy. “I said get out!”
“Oh… I’ll leave now… But why did you have to terminate the contract…? We don’t have to give up on the money, either. That’s a million-worth order!”
Avery felt as though her head was about to explode. “Scram!”
Mike immediately left out of concern that her frustration might affect her baby.
Once the office returned to silence, Avery reached her right hand out. Her hand was still numb and slightly red, which was proof of how hard she struck.
