Chapter 965
The entire hall broke into pandemonium! Up on the podium, Elliot's ears turned red.He knew that
Avery was speaking out of rage, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart.
However, this was a public setting, and he could not turn her into the target for scrutiny.
"Come up here, Avery Tate," Elliot said, then stepped off the podium and asked the students at the
front row to move back a row.
He had Avery sitting in the front row all by herself.
Without anyone next to her, there would not be any more arguments.
After Avery took a seat in the front row, she shot a glare at Elliot.
Then, she pulled out her phone and texted the vice president right in front of him.
[Elliot Foster is here too.Why didn't you tell me beforehand?]
The vice president: [You wouldn't have gone if I told you about it.I spent forty-five thousand on that
course.I couldn't just let that money go to waste.]
Avery: [Can I just send you the forty-five thousand dollars and leave tomorrow? ]
The vice president: [Huh? Do you really not want to see him? Or is he giving you a hard time? Come
back if it really is that hard for you to be there! You don't need to pay me back.I'm so sorry!]
Avery gradually grew calm after she read the vice president's reply.
Elliot was not giving her a hard time.
"Looks like he did not trick me into coming here, so why am I attacking him" thought Avery.
She took a deep breath and prepared herself to sink into the lecture when she caught sight of her pink
suitcase next to him.
That suitcase instantly tossed her reason out the window.She really wanted to get her suitcase back.
"Is he not embarrassed to have the suitcase up there with him?" thought Avery.
At that moment, in one of the luxuriously decorated bedrooms in Villa de Sierra, the villa's owner, Roger
Goldstein's phone rang.
Roger answered the call and heard the woman on the other end of the line say, "I heard that Elliot
Foster and Avery Tate are at your place."
"Ha ha! That's right! What is it?"
Roger held his cigar ADw![oJK said casually, "I know you don't get along with them, but Elliot is a friend
of mine."
"Ha ha! Mr.Goldstein, as a successful businessman yourself, you should know that there are no such
things as lifelong friends and enemies, only lifelong profits!" the woman cackled menacingly.
"I have the perfect plan.Are you interested?" Roger's smile faded.
Go ahead and tell me your plan.
I'll be the one to judge whether I benefit from it.I'm not willing to risk anything, and so I will also only act
if there is only a hundred percent success rate."
"Don't worry.As long as you do as I say, you will benefit greatly from this!"
That evening's lecture came to an end an hour later.
Avery had been struggling to keep awake.
She had found herself nodding off twenty minutes into the lecture and had spent the next forty minutes
texting Tammy, complaining about the situation.
Elliot walked over to her with her suitcase in his hand.She wanted to take it from him, but he did not let
go.
"Was my lecture that boring? You looked like you were about to fall asleep," he said with narrowed
eyes and a disgruntled tone.
"You saw me nodding off.Why are you still asking me about it?"
Avery did not want to provoke him on purpose.
"You did well, I just didn't quite understand it."
When the hall was pretty much empty, he lowered his voice and asked, ''Are you leaving tomorrow,
then?"
Avery glanced at him and said, "Are you kicking me out?"
"I'm just worried you won't want to stay here any longer.It's pretty boring up here, after all.""
Then, Elliot changed his tone and said, "Although, it won't be as boring if you had someone keeping
you company.Avery gazed at his handsome face which had turned slightly pink.
"Why are you going around the bush, Elliot? You were the one who tricked me into coming here, right?
You worked with the vice president—" she said bluntly.
"I think we need some space away from each other," interjected Elliot, then gazed at her with his deep-
set eyes and asked hoarsely, "Are you really going to chase me thousands of miles away?"
