Chapter 585 “You are telling me that you earned 300 million within weeks? Why don’t you explain to me how you
manage to earn that much?” He didn’t believe her and stepped forward when she backed away until they were
standing by the bed.
“Why do you care how I earned it? You have a say with the baby, but you have no right to control me!” She shoved
him by the chest.
“Monitoring you is the same thing as monitoring the baby!” He stood still as the looks in his eyes darkened. “As long
as the baby is still inside you, I have the right to control you!”
Avery felt that he was being ridiculous, but couldn’t quite argue with his logic, so she responded with a half-truth,
“it’s the payment for a surgery I performed on 35 someone!”
The 300 million was the payment Elliot gave Zoe; however, Zoe was not the one who treated Shea, so all Avery did

“Who?” He couldn’t quite believe her explanation. “Who gave you that much money asee payment?!”
“It’s okay for you to pay Zoe that much, but not when others do the same? Or is this just you having a hard time
accepting that there’s someone else richer than you?” Avery mocked,” what an arrogant man you are!”
“Avery, does it hurt you to not piss me off for just one day?” He grabbed her by the nape and leaned forward until
their faces were almostóf touching.
She could feel his unique scent and it ignited a fire within her.
“What are you doing?” Her lashes trembled and she started to breathe heavily. “If you try anything, I’m going to68
scream!”
As soon as she made the threat, his thin lips landed on hers. She tried to fight him off, but he had wrapped his long
arms around her body and she could hardly move.

After some time, he was finally content and let go of her.
Avery’s eyes reddened and could no longer conceal her anger and grievance. She shoved him again and said, “do
you know what you are doing?!”
To her surprise, he fell backward towards the cloth rack behind him after being shoved. He immediately grabbed
onto the cabinet next to him to steady himself. Though he didn’t fall to the ground, the rack did at the impact and
Avery’s purse fell along with it.
The contents of her purse were instantly scattered on the ground, so he immediately squatted down to pick up her
purse and everything else.
There weren’t many items in her purse; apart from tissue paper, headphones and makeup powder, there were only

While he was putting everything back into the purse, he caught sight of a card in one of the compartments of her
purse; more precisely, a black card, so he took it out.
“Don’t touch my stuff!” Avery panicked when she saw the card in his hand and instantly started sweating
It was the card Eric had given her for safekeeping and she had forgotten to take it out after putting it into her
purse. Elliot flipped the card and saw the signature on the back of the card: Eric Santos.
“Your stuff?” He held the card between his fingers and asked in a giddy manner, “why is Eric Santos in your purse?
How does this become yours?”
His tone became increasingly harsh and his expression grew darker.
“I meant don’t touch my purse. I didn’t say that this is my card!” She snatched her purse back and tried to reach
for the card in his hand.
He stood up abruptly and raised his arm so that she couldn’t take the card back.
“Did he give you 300 million? Did he?!” He swallowed hard and roared, “when have you two started dating?! If I
haven’t come across this card, how long do you two plan on lying to me about this?!”
