Tammy covered her swollen cheek in shock. To her surprise, she heard Elliot saying, "Scram!"Tammy had been treated like a princess for over twenty years. No one had even come close to laying a hand on her or telling her to 'scram'.Though hot-tempered, she was not a strong-willed person.With a hand on her face, she ran off in tears.Elliot clenched his fists as he watched her run away. He could already imagine how angry Avery would be when Tammy told her about this, but what had happened could not be changed, and he would have taught Tammy a lesson even if he had to do it all over again.Tammy had no idea when to stop, and not only were her words inappropriate, but she had been too presumptuous as well. Though Chelsea was merely his PR manager, she was also a daughter of the Tierney Family. Regardless of Tammy's reasons, Tammy should not have slapped Chelsea in public.…Tammy ran out of the hotel in tears. Once she got into her car, she drove onto the highway and called Jun

"I have the right to know!" His eyes turned red, "Even if you won't admit it, you can't change the fact that I'm the father!" "You know now, don't you?" she responded casually."I do know now, but I didn't hear it from you! Show me the medical report!" he demanded."There's no medical report." His grip was beginning to hurt her wrist, and she reached down to pull his hand off hers. "Let go of me!""Why isn't there a medical report?!" He loosened the grip, but instead of letting go completely, he moved his palm just just above her wrist and maintained his grip on her.Unable to lie while being confronted by Elliot, she said, "I did the test in Bridgedale so they only sent me an email.""Show me the email!" he commanded, fully intending to persist until he had seen the email for himself.Just then, Mike and the children walked out of the dining room and spotted Elliot."What is he doing here?" Layla murmured."Your mom cried this morning, but I don't know why…" Mike said.Hayd

She stared at the pained and frustrated expression on his face and for a moment, she could not say a word.Elliot had come to the conclusion that Avery and Eric were in a relationship. If Avery had been him, she would have misunderstood as well. After all, under what circumstances would a woman accept a card from a man? A woman would only do so if the two were extremely close and had nothing to hide from one another. She never even accepted his card during their sweetest moments together as a couple.Thoughts came to a screeching stop when she saw his tears.Feeling as though she was being strangled, she found it difficult to breathe. She frantically tried to explain herself. "Elliot… He just asked me to keep the card safe for him… I didn't spend his money…""Really?" Elliot tightened his fingers around the card. "If that's the case, I will return this to him on your behalf."With that, he picked the clothes rack off the ground and walked to open the door.The faces of Mike and

"I slapped Chelsea across the face," said Tammy. "I know that I was being impulsive, but I would do it again if given the chance! She is not the Mrs. President of Sterling Group just yet! How dare she pick on me?"Avery's heart felt heavy when she heard what Tammy had said. Tammy was at fault for starting the fight, but that was between her and Chelsea. 'Was it really necessary for Elliot to get involved?' thought Avery. "That b*st*rd Elliot Foster! I will never forgive him! Of course, he probably doesn't care about that!" Tammy said and glanced at Avery. "Avery, this is between me and Elliot Foster! You have nothing to do with this, so don't get involved. I got slapped because I had run my mouth, and he did not slap me only because of Chelsea." "It doesn't matter what you said to him, Tammy. He never should have hit you." Avery was reminded of a similar incident and said, "He had come close to strangling Hayden to death once, and Hayden still hates him. I suspect that he knows Ha

Chelsea did not expect Elliot to still protect Avery under such circumstances. Feeling wronged and bitter, she began to cry. Chad hurried inside and dragged Avery out from where she was seated."I don't know why Chelsea showed up," he explained seriously. "Let me see you off first!""No thanks." She pushed Chad's hand away and strode toward the elevator.She was overwhelmed at the moment. She came with the intention of confronting Elliot, but she had not expected herself to strike him. Though he had instigated her into striking him, it did not change the fact that she had hit him. Elliot was hot-tempered and would often get into arguments with her, but he had never raised his hand at her.After exiting the elevator, she walked toward the parking lot. She then got into her car and drove back to the company. While she was driving, she received a call from Tammy."Avery, I heard that you hit Elliot for me… Didn't I tell you to not go looking for him?" Tammy was so stunned by th
