When His Eyes Opened (Elliott and Avery) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Since Avery booked the largest ballroom at the hotel, Elliot went ahead and booked the smaller ballroom right next to it. 

He wanted to see for himself exactly how grand Avery‘s birthday party would be

That weekend, everyone who received an invitation to the party gathered in the largest ballroom–Astor Hall– at the Oasis Hotel. 

“Why isn’t Avery here yet?” Tammy asked Mike the moment she stepped into the banquet hall. “She hasn’t even replied to my text from last night.”

“I see... Since she‘s been busy, who‘s the one who organized the party?” 

“It was me!” Mike declared. 

“Who put the guest list together?” 

“That was me, too!” 

Tammy let out a “pfft“, then turned and walked over to Celestial Hall next door.

Mike was getting beaten up by two men, and one of those men was Avery’s ex–husband, Elliot Foster.

Wesley quickly yanked Mike to his side, then asked Elliot, “Why are you hitting Mike?”

Elliot had arrived three minutes ago.

When he saw Mike pinning Chad down and beating him up, the blood shot to his head, and he kicked Mike without another word.

Once he had leveled the playing field, the fight became a to–against-one brawl.

“He was hitting my assistant, Mr. Brook,” Elliot explained as he dusted himself down. “Chad’s weak and can‘t handle a fight.
