Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 653

Avery held onto her phone thoughtfully.

She could sense Ben’s change in attitude towards her. He had always been polite with her, but he sounded as though he was reluctant to talk to her and appeared to despise her in the phone call just now.

Was it because she was in Caesar Hotel the night before? But she hadn’t done anything in the hotel, so why would Ben be angry with her? Perhaps he thought that it was inappropriate for her to be in a hotel on her own?

Up until this point, Avery still couldn’t make sense of why the thief would call her to the hotel. The thief had not done anything to her and simply put her to sleep with46 sedatives.She went to the hospital for a check-up the day before and luckily, the dose was minimal and had no effect on her body.

Meanwhile, in Sterling Group.

Chelsea brought a cup of coffee and set it down before Elliot.

“Elliot, I talked to Ben just now,” she said, “he thinks that you are giving too much and getting too little in return; aside from that, your work is being delayed because of her all the time…”

“It can’t be because of that,” Elliot scowled and argued, “there has to be another reason that causes his sudden hatred towards Avery.”

Chelsea suddenly felt a little scared as she studied the distrustful expression on Elliot’s handsome face.

No matter the time and occasion, this was a man who remained highly alert and defensive; it was extremely difficult to lie to him.

“I heard that you were in a gathering with him last night?” Elliot looked up and stared sharply at Chelsea.

“Yes. I wasn’t feeling so well last night, so I asked for his help to keep my client’s company. Both of us had a bit too much to drink.”

“Nothing else happened?” Elliot stared at her face, trying to determine if she was lying.
