"Are you telling me that Elliot transferred his shares because of Avery?!"
"I wouldn't dare to make such an assumption. I'm just telling you what I know." Harvey said sternly, "Elliot changed his mind when he found out it was for Adrian and transferred all of it, rather than just one-third."
Ben gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "God darn it! What the hell is Avery doing?! What in God's name does she want to do?!"
Harvey advised Ben. "Mr. Schaffer, please calm down."
"Don't tell me to calm the hell down! This company can no longer call itself the Sterling Group if Elliot leaves!" Ben said irritably. "He was its founder and poured all his money, enthusiasm, and hard work into this company. What right does Avery have to ask him to transfer his shares to Adrian? Avery's stupidity is costing Elliot! Darn it!"
Harvey continued to persuade him. "Elliot has made up his mind. Being angry about it isn't going to change a thing."
"Where is he? I want to see him!" Ben got up from the sofa.
"I have no idea. We contacted each other by phone," Harvey said.
Ben immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Elliot's number but then immediately received a voice prompt saying that the latter's phone had been switched off.
"Call him! Make sure it gets through!" The blue veins on Ben's forehead were popping out due to anger, "I need to confirm that it's his intention so I can cooperate with you on this!"
In a moment of desperation, Harvey called Elliot.
After the call was connected, Harvey was about to speak when Ben snatched the cell phone away.
"Elliot Foster! Where in God's name are you hiding?! Are you hiding for the sake of giving your company to someone you despise?! Do you have any idea what you're doing?! Why is Avery so important? You're a fool if you listen to her! A darn fool, I say! When I scolded you back then for falling in love, I did it because I didn't want to see you ruin your career for her!"
Ben was cursing out loud but Elliot did not say anything at all.
