"You aren't going to ask what I'm using the money for?" she asked. "1.5 million isn't a small amount."
"I don't have much cash on the card I'm currently using so I'll get Ben to transfer the money to you," he responded calmly. " Is 1.5 million enough?"
"Are you really not curious about what I need it for?" she said.

Avery fell silent when she heard what he said.
"If you really want me to ask, I can ask why, " he added.
Avery interrupted him. "Don't ask. Just give me 7.5 million!"
He was stunned for a moment. "Okay."

"Why are you giving her so much money? Did she ask for it?"
"Do I need a reason to give my wife money?
Ben came close to spitting the tea he was sipping on. "You might as well just hand her all your money, then, instead of having me manage it."
"Sure. Transfer all my money to her, then," Elliot said casually.
Ben felt defeated. "You really didn't ask her why she needed it?"
"She kind of wanted me to ask, but I didn't." He did not think it was important. "She will tell me when she can’t hold it in any longer.
