"I didn't ask you out for the sake of discussing when she would succeed," Elliot said very seriously. "After Dean and Angela are married, help me take this special device out of my brain."
Amelia was stunned.
After a moment, she asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I do."
"Does Avery know?"
"This is my business. There's no need for me to discuss it with her." Elliot had already made up his mind.
He would rather die than let anyone use him to threaten Avery.

"I don't want money. It's fine as long as you give me the device after it has been taken out."
"Give Avery the device after it has been taken out." Elliot looked at her. "I believe she definitely will make a greater contribution to the entire society in the future."
Amelia's face reddened. "Mr. Foster, I can tell that you have come to a decision to have the device removed because you don't want to cause Avery any suffering. However, why are you choosing to only have this done after Angela's marriage to Dean?"
"Miss Cooper, let's talk about something else! If there's nothing to talk about—"
