Chapter 655
When His Eyes Opened
Which meant that she could go into delivery at any moment; however, what had happened was a rope
around the babyâs neck that could potentially kill it.
If Avery was living such a messy private life, it canât be certain if Elliot would still want the child.
Chad stood before the office door, unable to summon the courage to step in, as he couldnât bear to
witness Elliotâs reaction.
On his way to find Ben, he spotted Ben stepping out of the elevator.
âBen, have you seen the news? â Chad asked awkwardly, âthe news about Avery.â
âWhat do you think?â Ben scowled furiously.
âI found out a week ago! Why else would I be that angry?â
Chad was taken by surprise.
âHow did you find out, Ben?â
âWhy donât you go ask Mike? Considering how close he is to Avery, he must have known everything!â
Chad felt slightly dazed. Every time Mike mentioned Avery to him, he would make it sound as though
Avery was a little girl that needed to be taken care of. Mike couldnât lie, which meant that not even Mike
knew that Avery had been fooling around in private.
Chad returned to his own office and calledge Mike.
Mike picked up the phone immediately and blurted out, âI know what you are about to say. I saw the
video. F*ck it, thatâs definitely not Avery! That womanâs moan was too lecherous! Avery couldnât
possibly do that!â
âHave you heard her moaning before, and if so, how? Have you slept with her before?!â Chad
deadpanned.
âF*ck! What the f*ck do you think you are talking about? Do you have a death wish?â Enraged, Mike
desperately wished that he could throw a punch at Chad through the phone.
âWell, then what proof do you have that says that woman isnât Avery? I watched the video and that
looked and sounded exactly like Avery,â Chad said in a tortured tone, âwhere is Avery? I want to hear it
from her.â
âShe took Layla to Bridgedale this morning! They havenât even landed yet!â Mike was breathing
heavily.
âThatâs not Avery. Iâm sure of it. Avery isnât that kind of woman. I trust her and so should you!â
Chad massaged the bridge of his nose in despair.
ââThis isnât something that can be resolved even if the two of us believe in her. The main issue is my
boss⦠He is going to find out about this soon. If he doesnât believe Avery, then sheâs done for!â
âWhat do you mean, done for? So what if that woman in the video was indeed, Avery? Avery isnât
married to him, and he has no rights to get involved!â Mike said casually.
âBut Avery is still pregnant with his child! Mr. Foster is definitely not going to let her go. Just tell her to
hide for a while in Bridgedale and donât come back until after she gave birth!â Chad suggested
âWhat are you talking about? The woman in that video is not Avery!â Mike repeated the same sentence
over and over again.
Just then, Chad heard noises from the presidentâs office and hung up, before striding up to the office
and leaning against the door to listen.
Inside the office, Ben found the video and shoved his phone towards Elliotâs face to force him to watch
it.
âThis is the woman that you have been treating like your treasure,â Ben sneered sarcastically and
gritted out, âI came across the scene where she was fooling around with this man a week ago in the
hotel. I heard with my own ears when she said that she went out looking for other men because you
canât satisfy her in bed.â
Elliot froze as though someone had pressed on the âstopâ button; though his expression was calm,
darkness had filled his eyes.
After a long while, he swallowed hard and argued in a hoarse voice, âAvery wouldnât betray me! Thatâs
not her!â
âWake up already! That is her!â Ben shattered all hope for Elliot and said, âyou can keep the baby she
is carrying, but do not ever touch that skank ever again!â
