Chapter 664

Provoked by Ben’s words, she reminded him, “Ben, this is between me and him.”

“When Tammy came to us for your sake and started shouting like a crazy woman, was I supposed to

tell her the same thing as well?” Ben retorted.

Avery’s blood ran cold at his words as she froze in place.

She had come here to explain to Elliot about what had happened that day in the hotel. She wanted to

tell him whether or not he chose to believe her, because at least she would have no regret.

However, everything just seemed so ridiculous now.

How could she forget about Tammy?

Tammy had always been so protective of her and she must have gone to Elliot and the others to

explain what happened; judging from their reaction at the moment, it was clear that none of them

believed Tammy.

If that was the case, there was no need for her to waste her time explaining.

“If you think that I’m the woman in the video, then so be it!” She said coldly, “forget I even came here.”

With that, she turned around to leave.

Elliot grabbed onto her arm. “Avery! I didn’t say you can leave!” He was breathing heavily and

continued in a stern voice, “I want to hear you explain!”

“Elliot, she already said that she has no proof…” Ben said with resignation.

“This is between me and her!” Elliot glared at him viciously.

“I don’t need anyone to remind me what to do! Even if my decision is wrong, I will accept the

consequences on my own!”

Ben saw the determination in his eyes and left without another word.

After he left, Avery broke her arm free of Elliot’s restraint and in a low voice, she said, ” Tammy already

said what I meant to say. Your friendship with Ben runs deeper than my friendship with Tammy, right?

You are making me look bad.”

Ben must hate her now.

Though she didn’t care about Ben’s thoughts on her, she didn’t feel right that Ben and Elliot’s friendship

suffered because of her.

Elliot mumbled as though he had not heard what she said, “someone tricked you into going to the hotel

and found a woman that looks exactly like you to record her and framed you.”

“Doesn’t it sound fake? Not even movies dare to use plots like this,” she said sarcastically, “its normal

that Ben won’t believe me; as for you, I’ve never dreamed of having your trust.”

His heart froze at her tone.

If he didn’t believe her, why would he stop her from leaving to listen to her?

As Avery had said, Elliot and Ben were as close as brothers; still, he fought with Ben. What about her?

Apart from pride, all she had was never-ending prejudice against him.

“Avery, what gives you the right to do this to me?” He swallowed hard as his eyes reddened. ”It doesn’t

matter if you are the woman in that video, you have always been on a high horse whenever you are

with me!”

“Should I have kneeled and begged for your forgiveness, then?!” Provoked by Elliot’s accusation, she

retorted, “you get to get on a high horse and ask for my explanation, but I’m not allowed to doubt your

trust towards me?”

“Elliot, I’ve already explained everything about that video. I’m busy, so I’ll go now,” she spoke quickly

before hurrying away.

Elliot watched as she left and clenched his fists.

‘‘This time, I won’t let go of my pride and forgive her,’’ he thought.

The irritation Avery felt did not ease even the slightest after leaving Elliot’s mansion. She couldn’t even

remember how many times she had to work hard to prove her innocence.
