Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858

Avery pondered for a few seconds, then responded coldly, “I don’t care.”

Tammy could feel Avery’s resolution toward Elliot from her tone. She was right. Nothing that happened to Elliot right now was worth Avery’s sympathy. 

All the gossip about Elliot completely disappeared from the internet overnight. People might not be able to discuss the matter online, but everyone was still talking about it in private. 

“I think there’s something abnormal about Mr. Foster too,” said one of the employees at Sterling Group. 

“I think he might not even be from this world. He could be an alien from another planet. Nothing else would explain how he’s so outstanding at such a young age.” Everyone burst into laughter. 

“I think that even if Mr. Foster had a psychological disorder, it’s not something that would make him go on a killing frenzy. I’ve been working here for a long time and I’ve never heard any negative press about him. Our company has the highest yearly salary increment in the industry. You can’t find anything wrong with such a great boss!”

 “That’s right! I think Charlie Tierney was trying to spoil Mr. Foster’s reputation on purpose! Saying that someone hacked into his account was just a lame excuse!”

Ben heard the discussion when he walked by the pantry, then strode over to Elliot’s office.He burst into the room without knocking.

Elliot was quietly sitting at his desk with his eyes fixed on his laptop, but it was obvious that he was not paying attention to the screen at all.

“Why aren’t you taking a break at home?” Ben took a seat across from him and examined him.

“It’s working hours right now,” Elliot responded without emotion.

“The news online is true, right?” From the moment the news broke to it now being common knowledge, Ben had a strong hunch. 

“Charlie was holding this over your head, wasn’t he?” Elliot confirmed blandly. Ben’s face turned pale.

“Of all the years we’ve known each other, why did you never say anything about this, Elliot? What a joke. How could I possibly not know if you really have a psychological disorder?”
