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!"

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!"

He was a famous person in Aryadelle and the others more or less knew him by his nor looks.

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.
