She froze.
She had not expected for Cole and Henry to insist on making such a choice. What could possibly give them the courage to do so?
"Why won't you listen? Why?!" Her eyes reddened and she roared as she clenched her fists.
"Avery, I am done with being a coward. I've been compared to Elliot ever since I started my own business and everyone thinks that I don't have the determination and talent Elliot has. I admit that I'm not as good as he is, which is why I want to take the risk this time and show my determination!"
"Ridiculous!" Avery mocked furiously. "You fail to show determination when you need to and want to be determined when you choose a foolish path!" "Shut up!" Provoked by her mocking tone, he said, "I've made it clear, Avery! Both me and my dad have thought it through! Shea is ill because she tried to save your son, and helping her is your responsibility! Go to Elliot and get him to give us one-third of his shares with whatever excuse you can come up with! Otherwise, you are never going to find Adrian!"
Avery knew that there was no space for further negotiation and hung up furiously.
How could she tell Elliot about this? She couldn't. She had never asked for money from him, let alone asking for a part of his shares in the company.
He had always been generous to her and had mentioned multiple times that everything he owned was hers, but she simply couldn't summon the courage to ask for money or the shares of his company.
She knew him well. If she asked for money for her own use, he would give it; if it was meant for someone else, someone he hated no less, he would definitely refuse her request.

Elliot found Layla's seat in the classroom and sat down.
He took out his phone
