No one would have dared touch his phone without his permission. The only other explanation would be that he had been forced into handing over his phone. "Avery, the only reason Elliot had insisted on you returning to Aryadelle was that he did not want you affecting our lives. He was not concerned for your safety. After you had left, he promised me he would stay in with me and our child. He told me that he would never leave us. Please don't disrupt our lives from now on. If it's alimony you want, you can get it from me. | can pay you however much you want, so don't bother Elliot anymore! He doesn’t even want to speak to you." Ruby began to sound increasingly impatient. "Hand him the phone! If he tells me that himself, | promise that | will never bother the two of you ever again!" snapped Avery. "I'm sorry, but he won't be able to speak to you. | made him promise me that he would never talk to you again! I'm pregnant now and get emotional easily, so he has been spoiling me rotten, not daring to cross me in any way. If | get angry and something happens to the baby, no one can bear the consequence of it." Avery gripped the phone in silence. "Avery, I've said all | need to say to you. Elliot and | are going to bed now," Ruby said and waited for two seconds. When Avery did not respond, she went ahead and hung up. Ruby set her phone aside and glanced at Elliot, who was lying unconscious on the bed. Elliot was severely injured and the doctor had told her that he would not be able to wake up that soon. Even if he did, it would take a long time for his body to recover. Paul had almost killed him. Ruby was furious, but she still needed Paul to help her with her father's funeral. She decided that she would deal with Paul once Elliot was well enough to be discharged. She sat by the bed and stared at Elliot's bandaged face. She had devised a plot to end his relationship with Avery while he was still in the hospital. Had it not been for this opportunity, she would not have had the means to defeat Avery. A setback could turn out to be a blessing in disguise at times. Her father's murder had led to an awakening. For the first time, she felt the fire of ambition. She understood that she had to work to get what she wanted. She did not want to be looked down upon, =h.=VLR= she wanted to be like her father— someone whose name is whispered with fear. At the very least, she wanted to be strong enough to prevent people from taking advantage of her. In the event hall in Aryadelle, Layla was crying her eyes out. With no time to consider her own feelings, Avery immediately went to console her. " Layla, don’t cry. The baby that woman is carrying isn’t your dad's. Your dad explained it to me before." Layla was simply too devastated to stop crying, and when Robert saw his sister burst into tears, he began sobbing as well.
