Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

Wesley noticed the fight as he left the hall

When he rushed over, he realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Mike was getting beaten up by two men, and one of those men was Avery’s ex-husband, Elliot Foster.

Wesley quickly yanked Mike to his side, then asked Elliot, “Why are you hitting Mike?”

Elliot had arrived three minutes ago.

When he saw Mike pinning Chad down and beating him up, the blood shot to his head, and he kicked Mike without another word.

Once he had leveled the playing field, the fight became a to-against-one brawl.

“He was hitting my assistant, Mr. Brook,” Elliot explained as he dusted himself down “Chad’s weak and can’t handle a fight.”

Wesley noticed Chad’s broken glasses, then shot a glare at Mike.

“Avery’s phone’s turned off. We don’t know if something’s happened to her,” he said. “I’m going to look for her now. You can either go back to the hall and entertain the guests, or you can come with me to search for her.”

Mike suppressed his rage and said, “I‘m coming with you!” 

Elliot strode over to them and blocked their way. 

“What happened to Avery?!” 

“Mr. Foster, we don‘t know what‘s happening right now either. When I called her this morning, she said she would be here by six. However, it’s almost seven and she’s not here yet.”

“It‘s the weekend. Isn‘t she at home?” Elliot said as his eyes filled with worry.

“She isn‘t. We‘re going to search for her now, Mr. Foster. If there’s more you’d like to know, we can talk about it once we find her,” Wesley said, then rushed off with Mike.

Elliot watched the two men leave, then walked over to another elevator.

Chad followed him and explained, “Sir, Mike was the one that organized Miss Tate’s party. He was also the one who set the guest list. It wasn’t Miss Tate’s intention to exclude you.”

Elliot frowned, then asked, “Didn’t she go through the guest list herself?” “I heard she’s been busy with something,” Chad responded.

Elliot glanced at him, then said, “Don’t follow me. Go and get yourself a new pair of glasses.”
