She froze.
She had not expected for Cole and Henry to insist on making such a choice. What could possibly give them the courage to do $0? "Why won't you listen? Why?!" Her eyes reddened and she roared as she clenched her fists.
"Avery, | am done with being a coward. I've been compared to Elliot ever since | started my own business and everyone thinks that | don't have the determination and talent Elliot has. | admit that I'm not as good as he is, which is why | want to take the risk this tand show my determination!" "Ridiculous!" Avery mocked furiously. "You fail to show determination when you need to and want to be determined when you choose a foolish path!" "Shut up!" Provoked by her mocking tone, he said, "I've made it clear, Avery! Bothand my dad have thought it through! Shea is ill because she tried to save your son, and helping her is your responsibility! Go to Elliot and get him to give us one-third of his shares with whatever excuse you can cup with! Otherwise, you are never going to find Adrian!" Avery knew that there was no space for further negotiation and hung up furiously.

He had always been generous to her and had mentioned multiple times that everything he owned was hers, but she simply couldn't summon the courage to ask for money or the shares of his company.
She knew him well. If she asked for money for her own use, he would give it; if it was meant for someone else, someone he hated no less, he would definitely refuse her request.
In the top elementary school in Aryadelle, Elliot and Layla arrived at the school. The teacher invited Elliot into the classroom, while Layla was taken to the group activities by another teacher.
Elliot found Layla's seat in the classroom and sat down.
When the other parents saw him, they all turned their attention to him.
He was a famous person in Aryadelle and the others more or less knew him by his nor looks.
Ever since he started his own business, he had not sat down on stage during any meeting. Not only was he not used to the feeling, but the fact that everyone was staring at him like they were staring at a monkey in the zoo made him even more uncomfortable.

He took out his phone Avery suppressed the despair she felt and replied casually. ‘Just look back at whoever's staring at you. Show them how scary the president of the Sterling Group is!" He had always been obedient to whatever she said, so he set his phone down to scan his surroundings. As predicted, once he faced all the eyes on him, the others looked away awkwardly.
He sent Avery another message. 'l think my face is too pale. My camera can’t even focus on my face.’ A successful man shouldn't stare at his own face all the time." Elliot didn't know what to say, but he also had nothing better to do.
Sitting before his daughter's desk reminded him of when he was a student; what was worst was that the teacher told him that he was expected to give a speech on stage as a representative of the parents at the end of the parents’ meeting.
The teacher mentioned that she had sent a message to Avery about this, but Avery had not mentioned a word about it to him.
