Chapter 849 What Do You Take Me for?
"The Hawthorne Group is in quite a bit of trouble this time. Are you sure you want to get involved?" Avery looked at the man.
The man smiled. "Even if the Hawthorne Group declares bankruptcy, I believe I have the ability to support you."
Avery looked at the other person, her lips curling up. "Do you think I'm a woman who needs a man to support?"
"Of course not, but if we work together, I have the ability to make sure you don't lose." The man's voice was very confident.
"Alright, then let's have a pleasant cooperation." Avery clinked glasses with the other person.
Edgar stood still, watching Avery smile at another man. She even talked about marrying someone else, and his fingers slowly clenched.
"Avery." For a moment, he didn't know what to say or in what capacity to meet her, but he wanted an answer.
Avery's body stiffened for a moment, and she turned to look. It was Edgar.
How did he find this place? Did Betty tell him?
"Who is he?" The marriage partner asked.
Avery smiled faintly. "Nothing, an unimportant person."
Edgar's eyes burned, and his clenched hands trembled slightly.
After being with her for so long, he ended up being an unimportant person to her.
"Let's talk..." Edgar suppressed his anger.
She always said he was immature, emotional, and not steady enough. So, this time, he tried hard to suppress his temper, wanting to have a good talk with her.
Avery smiled at the other person. "Then let's wish for a pleasant cooperation in advance."
The other person nodded and gave Edgar a meaningful look as he got up.
Avery escorted the person to the elevator. Just as she was about to say something, Edgar pressed her against the wall and kissed her.
He did it on purpose, deliberately before the elevator door closed, to declare his sovereignty.
He just wanted the other person to back off, to know that Avery was his woman.
But Avery always thought he was immature.
Avery sneered and pushed Edgar away, raising her hand to slap him. "I thought we had broken up"
Edgar's eyes reddened as he looked at Avery. "Just because we haven't contacted each other for half a month? That wasn't my fault. But I just wanted you to care about me a little. I apologize, but I never said we broke up."
"We were never in a relationship." Avery interrupted Edgar, her voice cold.
Edgar looked at Avery, feeling ridiculous for a moment.
This must be punishment for his past flirtations.
Avery must be the woman sent to punish him.
"Avery, Why are you so heartless?" Edgar choked, punching the wall next to the elevator.
Avery leaned against the wall, quietly watching Edgar. "Edgar, I told you, you're not a good marriage partner. "
"Is he the one? I told you I can give you what you want too. If the Hawthorne Group has problems, I can help you. If others can, why can't I?" Edgar asked Avery with red eyes.
In her eyes, was he really that worthless?
"Edgar, we're over." Avery pushed Edgar away and pressed the elevator button.
The anger Edgar suppressed had nowhere to go. "Are you going to marry that person?"
"That's my business." Avery didn't answer.
"Avery! What do you take me for? " Edgar stubbornly grabbed Avery's wrist, tears welling up in his eyes.
He was damned to fall in love with her, a woman who didn't understand love.
This was truly punishment!
Avery laughed. "Isn't that what you volunteered for? Hiding your identity to play some sugar daddy game with me, not doing your job, losing control of your emotions, being immature, and needing your two brothers to clean up your mess."
She shook off Edgar's hand. "Do I have to spell it out? Whether it's Nolan or Edward, I can accept them, but you, Edgar, spoiled by the Cunningham family, I look down on."
Avery pressed the elevator button hard, her fingers trembling slightly.
Edgar stood in place, feeling like he was doused in ice water.
He just watched Avery enter the elevator, without the courage to reach out and hold her back.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
Why couldn't Avery like him?
Losing control of his emotions, he punched the wall again, his fingers trembling, blood dripping from his fingertips.
The restaurant staff didn't dare approach, only watching cautiously.
Edgar stood there for a long time, then turned to the staff, smiling pale. "Sorry, how much do I need to compensate?"
The staff, nervous, went to the front desk to get a first aid kit, then cautiously spoke. "Sir, let me help you with that."
Edgar sat down dejectedly, extending his hand. "Thank you."
The staff took a deep breath, looking at his wound. "You should go to the hospital for an X-ray. If the bone is injured, it won't be good. I'll just do a simple treatment."
Edgar didn't speak, his face gloomy.
"Do you know that man just now?" After a long time, Edgar asked, referring to Avery's marriage partner.
"He seems to be the president of Vanguard Holdings Group. Our manager said he's a big shot, booked the whole place today." The staff whispered while treating Edgar's wound.
Edgar was stunned. Vanguard Holdings Group? A financial company as famous as the Everhart Group.
Sure enough, Avery only looked for capable people.
At that moment, Edgar doubted himself.
Compared to Nolan, Edward, and these successful entrepreneurs, he seemed indeed worthless.
Back then, Nolan let him choose his own interests. He lived a carefree life, like a spoiled child.
Never thought one day, his carefree life would be so despised.
"Thank you." With the wound simply bandaged, Edgar got up and left his business card. "If compensation is needed, call me."
The staff looked at the card and quickly nodded. "Okay, sir."
Edgar entered the elevator, leaning against the wall, holding his phone, not knowing if he should call Avery again.
He felt ridiculous.
After going downstairs, Edgar couldn't help but want to coax Avery, maybe they could reconcile?
He took out his phone and called Avery.
But she had already blocked him.
At that moment, Edgar realized how ridiculous he was.
He took their relationship seriously, but Avery only saw it as a game.
Clenching his phone, Edgar got angry.
He wouldn't let Avery go.
He would make her regret it!
While swearing, Edgar's eyes reddened with tears.
This was too pathetic. Who cries over a breakup? So embarrassing.
Edgar despised himself.
