"When did I say that?" Elliot knew he had said this, but he only said it when he quarreled with Avery.
Chad saw that his boss looked a little solemn and suddenly realized that he had blundered.
Elliot would be okay with that in private, but there were people at the table now!
"Maybe I remembered wrongly... Boss, you didn't say it." Chad immediately tried to save this embarrassing situation.
Seeing that Chad was frightened, Avery came to save the day: "He did say such things. And he said it more than once."
With Avery coming out to support him, Chad was less afraid.
Elliot was not angry.
He used to think he had a severe physical or psychological disease, so he always felt he was not worthy of Avery.
"Don't laugh at Elliot; everyone did impulsive things or said impulsive words when they were in love." Ben reasserted Elliot's dignity, "But to tell the truth, I think Lilith is better than Elliot. She's more confident."
Lilith was embarrassed to confront Ben in person because there were too many people, but she gave Ben a sharp look with her eyes.
Ben immediately closed his mouth.
"It’s a good thing to have self-confidence." Avery answered, "I think Lilith is pretty good. She's not blindly confident. She has things to be proud of."
Lilith was embarrassed to be praised: "Nah. I just have the confidence to tell Ben off. He's always annoying me."
"Why does it bother you if I care about you? " Ben said sullenly.
"Nobody wants you to care. How much do you care about your parents? You are already at this age, and your parents are not young."
"My parents have a nanny to take care of them."
Tammy came over
"When he was drinking just now, I persuaded him to drink less, but he didn't listen." Avery called the security personnel, supported Jun, and continued telling Tammy, "Ben said that Jun was drinking to get the courage to find you."
Tammy said calmly: "I know. He is a coward to the death in front of me."
"Is he so afraid of you?"
"Mainly because I have a bad temper. I’m always angry, and I can't help it." Tammy explained, "My dad is also violent, so he is not only afraid of me, but also of my dad."
"I think that he doesn't want to break up with you. If he wanted to break up with you, he doesn't need to be afraid of you or Uncle." Avery looked back at Jun with a smile.
Jun smiled at her and extended his hand to make an OK gesture.
He was not that drunk; he was just pretending to be drunk.
