"I'll send you a location. You can cwhen you're ready!" Cole said. "We'll talk about everything else when we meet." Cole hung up after he finished speaking.
Avery's body froze and her heart was beating ridiculously fast.
She wondered if Elliot had been up to all that when he disappeared in the past couple of days, and the answer appeared in her mind immediately following that thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, no one could take Elliot's shares if he did not give the nod.
Her tears immediately blurred her vision.
She finally realized why everyone around Elliot hated her so much-they already knew about everything well in advance.
How could they control themselves not to yell at her if Elliot transferred the shares? She felt as if she had done an unforgivable sin! They must have felt that she forced Elliot into doing that, but the truth was that she had every intention of discussing it with him before. Unfortunately, she did not get the chance to do so.
The result was the sregardless of the process.
He would have been angry either way, whether he knew it in advance or waited a few days until she told him.
The reason was that her actions involved his interests and a significant amount at that.
It was even worse because he thought she was forcing him to do that for the sake of another man.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, then quickly adjusted the expression on her face before walking out of the office with her bag in hand.
Half an hour later, she drove to the restaurant where Cole and Adrian were dining.
Adrian immediately smiled warmly at her the minute he saw her.
His eyes were as pure and innocent as ever.
She took his arm and wanted to bring him away immediately.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave, Avery? When will my aunt's surgery be done? How long will it take?" Cole grabbed Adrian's other arm. "I need clear answers to these questions because Adrian is now worth a lot of money. My aunt's illness isn't really important, because what's important is that nothing happens to Adrian.” Avery looked coldly at Cole. "You evil man!" "Why are you shouting at me? Isn't it a normal, fair- "Hahahaha! Oh, man! Your idiotic expression is killing me! Did the two of you fall out with each other? Was it the really bad kind?" Cole looked at her like she was a clown. "Elliot transferred all his shares to Adrian and now he has nothing left! His nwill finally disappear from the rich list, and I'll be the one who will take his place!" Avery felt as if a bone-chilling, ice-cold bucket of water had been poured onto her head. It broke her heart completely! She wondered what Elliot did and why he gave away all those shares, with the only explanation being that he did it to get revenge on her! "I'll give my uncle to you for half a month. If you haven't handed him back in half a month, I'll go to you.” Cole saw Avery's tear- filled eyes and let go of Adrian's arm happily.
Shand agony were the only emotions in Avery's mind.
