Just then, a blue car stopped outside the yard, and shortly after, the bodyguard entered the living room to inform Elliot about it.
"Mr. Foster, Ms. Jennings is here. She says she is here to look for Avery."
Avery immediately glanced outside the door.
She had not officially met Natalie, and it was unexpected that she would look for Avery at Elliot's house.
Without a word, Elliot strode outside and Avery followed closely behind, wanting to know why Natalie wanted to speak to her.
Natalie held a jewelry box in her hand, and the moment Avery spotted the box, she cto realize why Natalie had come.
"Elliot, Miss Tate." Natalie watched as the two stepped out of the house together and was filled with envy at how compatible they

"Natalie, | thought I'd been clear with you on the phone." Elliot scowled. He sounded annoyed. "Don't cto my place again. We
have nothing else to talk about apart from work."
Elliot's tone was hardly polite, and if those words were directed at Avery, she would have turned heels and left without hesitation,
but Natalie did not.
Natalie remained, unwavering; a sign of how strong she was under pressure. "Elliot, I'm not here for you, and | don't intend on

"If that's the case, thank you for coming all the way here," he said, before proceeding to take the jewelry box from her as well.
Avery had wanted to buy the jewelry for Layla, so Elliot did not doubt that it would look sophisticated, and he wanted to please his

"I will transfer the money to you later." He shoved the box into Avery's h;h+=RIY>s and continued in a distant tone. "You can go

Natalie nodded and turned to get into her car, before driving off without feeling sorry for herself.
Avery was surprised by how powerful Natalie's mentality was. She had heard tales about Natalie and whenever people mentioned
her, they all would say how much Natalie liked Elliot. However, it was hard to tell that she liked Elliot from her attitude and Elliot
did not seem to harbor any special feelings for her.
Avery and Elliot walked back into the living room and spotted Layla staring outside to observe the situation.
"Natalie has sent the jewelry back," Avery explained. "She's gone now."
"Oh. What does she mean by that?" Layla stared at the box in Avery's hand and said coldly, "I don't want her gift!"
