Chapter 684
When His Eyes Opened
Chelsea felt like something rammed into her heart and was about to break it into pieces!
Although Avery was proven innocent, how could they reconcile just in one night?
Was Elliot the one who went to see Avery himself?
Was it because he cared about the baby, or was it because he cared about her?
Chelsea was too afraid to guess.
She felt ridiculed and hurt. She felt like she spent all these years living like an idiot.
She no longer held any hope of being with Elliot, but she did not want to see any other woman have
him either.She found Wandaâs number and dialed it.
âDid you find the people you were supposed to help me find?â
âDo you want to act now?â Wanda asked. âDo you have age plan?â
âJust find the people I need. You donât have to care about anything else,â Chelsea responded.
â I canât take this for another second!â
âOkay, let me make some calls. Iâll get back to you later,â Wanda said, then warned, âIâm only
responsible for getting the right people for you. I wonât get involved in anything else. I wonât confess if
anything goes wrong on your side.â
âUnderstood.â
After she hung up the phone, Chelsea got up from her seat and prepared to leave the office.
At that moment, Ben opened the door and walked in.
Chelsea felt slightly guilty when she saw him, but it did not show on her face.
âLetâs talk, Chelsea.â Ben closed the door behind him, then went straight to the point and said, âThe
woman that impersonated Avery Tate was your cousin, Nora, right?â
âHowâs that possible?â Chelsea denied.
âNoraâs not that kind of girl.â
âAre you still going to treat us all like a bunch of fools at this point, Chelsea?â Ben clenched his fists.
âWhen you made me go to that meeting with you that day, I just happened to hear the impersonated
voice⦠It was too much of a coincidence! Do you think Elliot wonât suspect you?â
âSo what if he does? Does he have evidence that Nora was behind it? Even if he does, it would prove
that Nora did it. What does that have to do with me?â Chelsea shoved Ben aside, then said,
âInvestigate Nora if you suspect her! Sheâs just my cousin. You canât drag me into it if she messes up,
right?â
Then, she strode toward the door.
Ben grabbed onto her arm, then roared, âChelsea! Stop repeating the same mistakes! If Elliot gets
something on you again, you wonât be able to come back to Sterling Group. If you donât think thatâs a
big deal, then you might as well just leave now! At least you would still have some dignity left!â
âBen, you know what kind of person I am. Why would you say something so hurtful?â Chelsea shook
her head.
âWe donât know whoâs going to get the last laugh just yet!â
Then, she stormed out of the room in her stilettos.
Ben watched her slender back and let out an exhausted sigh.
She was a ruthless snake, but it was the same ruthlessness that Ben admired so much about her.
When Chelsea walked out of the office, her phone rang.
She thought it was Wanda calling, so she stopped in her tracks. She pulled out her phone and realized
it was a phone call from someone unexpected.She hesitated for a few seconds, then answered the call.
At the mall, Elliot and Avery had shopped the entire morning. At this moment, the two were about to
have lunch at a nearby restaurant.
The maternity kit and things for the newborn were already bought.
After they settled those things, Elliot bought a bunch of other stuff for Avery.
There were clothes, shoes, bags, jewelryâ¦
Avery naturally refused. She was not used to having such an intimate relationship with him.
It was as if they were dating.
However, Elliot still bought everything despite Averyâs rejection.
Once he was done shopping, the driver stuffed all the bags into the car and was going to send them all
back to her house anyway.
Averyâs refusal was completely ineffective.
After they took their seats in the restaurant, she ordered her food, then handed the menu to Elliot and
asked, âHave you decided what to name the baby, Elliot?â
