In truth, what happened to Wonder Technologies had nothing to do with Elliot at all; it was the Securities Regulatory Commission that found the issue, not Elliot. However, Elliot's conflict with Nathan had been too drastic and had led to a common belief that he was the one behind it.
"Elliot, you don't have to pay them any mind. It's not important." Avery saw the post as well but didn't discuss it with Elliot about it.
She believed that Elliot was fully capable of handling the gossip from the outside world.

Elliot glanced at Hayden, who was sitting at the passenger seat and staring ahead, with no intention of turning around to speak to his father.
"I believe you." Elliot sighed a breath of relief. "As long as you are okay." "The trip has been quite tiring so | want to rest for a few days at hbefore going back to the office," she said.
"Wanda won't return anymore so you can rest for however long you want," he said endearingly.
