Tammy walked past him and strode toward Elliot's office."Your wife looks like she is here to pick a fight or something," muttered Chad.Jun sighed with resignation. "I told her not to come but she keeps insisting. She insists that the woman in the video is not Avery, but I watched it carefully, and I still think that it's Avery!""Tammy is good friends with Avery, so naturally she would side with her. Mike is the same. He told me that the woman in that video is Nora. He said that Nora imitated Avery's voice, the pregnant belly that you see is just CG effects… He seemed so serious that I almost believed him." Jun exclaimed, "Does he think that this is a movie?"Chad adjusted his spectacles and said, "What he said is possible, but the chances of that are slim. Those two are having a much harder time accepting that Avery is this sort of woman." "You are right. Tammy's gone crazy! I can't seem to get her to calm down ever since she saw that video." "Same with my boss. He hasn't

To his surprise, his call was immediately answered."I'm coming back tomorrow," her voice was calm and unwavering, "Let's talk then."All the rage and fear storming within him was instantly overpowered by her the sound of her voice.Elliot thought back to what Ben had said. Ben had told him that Avery knew how to manipulate him, and she was very successful at it.It was at that moment that Elliot finally understood what Ben meant. Avery did have him wrapped around her fingers. All it took was a few words from her, and he would choose her over all the evidence and proof that suggested her betrayal. "Avery," he said in a voice that was rough and hoarse with grief. Avery could tell how hard he was struggling from his voice. He must have watched the video and suspected her role in it, or he would not be in so much pain."Elliot, I know it's difficult for you to trust me," she said, struggling to explain herself beneath the strain that gripped them. "When I saw the video, even I th

He could not tell his mother the true reason, or she might not agree. He tried his best to look sincere, "I'm exhausted from summer camp." He had done his best to make the lie sound convincing. Avery's heart softened, and she agreed. "Darling, you need to tell me when you are stressed from school next time. Studying is important, but your health is always your top priority."Hayden nodded.Meanwhile, it was eight in the evening at Aryadelle, and Ben was at Elliot's mansion. Ben poured Elliot a glass of wine, but Elliot turned it down."I can't drink anymore." Elliot had already drunk two glasses, and his face was flushed. His eyes were unfocused, but he could still remember that he would be meeting with Avery the next day. If he drank too much, it would affect him physically tomorrow."Fine, I'll drink it myself." Ben grabbed Elliot's glass and drank from it."Don't drink too much." Elliot glanced at him. "I know that you are doing this for me, but—""But, what?! But you won't

Provoked by Ben's words, she reminded him, "Ben, this is between me and him.""When Tammy on your behalf 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, and she froze.She had come here to explain to Elliot what had happened that day in the hotel. She wanted to explain her side of things whether or not he chose to believe her, because at least she would have no regrets.However, everything just seemed so ridiculous now."How could I have forgotten Tammy?" thought Avery. 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 reactions 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 herself."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 tu

She was not the woman in the video. In fact, she was the victim, but she was forced to defend herself because of public opinion. Avery called Tammy."Avery, why did you come back so early?" Tammy was slightly confused. "If I were you, I would have remained a bit longer in Bridgedale. It's not because I'd be scared or anything, but it's just that some of the people here in Aryadale are just disgusting.""Running won't solve the problem. I've already met with them," said Avery calmly. "Tammy, I heard that you went to them for my sake. Thank you for trusting me.""Why are you thanking me? Coming to think of it, it's my fault. If only I had kept my phone safe, it wouldn't have gotten stolen, and without my phone, the thieves would not have been able to trick you into going to that hotel," said Tammy in frustration. "Even if they couldn't steal your phone, they would have come up with other ways to get me there." Avery looked outside the window and said, "It's getting cold. Let's go

At Caesar Hotel, Tammy was in a blonde wig with thick makeup on her face. She was dressed to the nines. She entered the lobby.When the concierge staff saw her, they all felt an instant attraction. "I'm looking for your manager," Tammy said, walking up to a concierge and smiling elegantly.The concierge forgot to ask Tammy for her identity. She immediately called her manager.Soon, the manager came over. When the manager saw Tammy, he was stunned. "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?""Let's talk somewhere else." Tammy hooked her arm over the manager's shoulder. "Let's head to your office. There is something good I want to share with you."When the manager heard what Tammy said, he immediately brought her to his office. The moment she entered his office, Tammy sat down on the sofa and said to the manager, "Show me all your male staff members. I want their photos."The manager was confused. "Miss, what do you want them for?""A person of your standing shouldn't be

"Why is Avery Tate looking for me?" he thought.Looking at her cold expression, it did not seem like she was looking for him for pleasure!"Ryan." Avery placed a stack of cash and a bottle of medication in front of him. "If you properly answer my questions and tell me what I want to know, this money is yours. If you don't cooperate, this bottle of medicine will shut you up forever."Ryan was terrified. He pointed to the black bottle and stuttered, "W-What medicine is this?""A poison. Once you consume it, you'll die immediately. The most important thing is that the coroner will not detect this poison. They'll say you suffocated from over-excitement. No one will suspect a thing." Avery's tone was calm and light.Ryan was so frightened, that his face grew pale. He immediately knelt on the ground. "Miss Tate. What do you want to know? Ask all you want, but I'm only a lowly staff member. I don't know much!"Avery saw how Ryan was utterly disarmed, so she swiftly asked, "When I was tr

Avery reached the PR department.Her arrival stunned everyone.Everyone turned to look at her, not daring to breathe. Although they did not know why she was there, from the expression on her face, they could guess that she did not come with friendly intentions.Avery looked at them all and asked, "Is Nora not here yet?""She usually arrives on the dot." A staff member looked at the time. "She should be here soon."Speak of the devil.Nora entered the PR department wearing sky-high heels and carrying an LV bag. Seeing a crowd surrounding the entrance, she walked over.The moment she saw Avery, her nosy expression dissolved.Perhaps because Chelsea was not there yet, a sense of panic overwhelmed her."What if Avery is looking for trouble? I'm alone, and I'm no match for her!" thought Nora."Miss Tate, Nora is here!" someone said.Avery turned around.When she saw Nora, her eyes filled with cold disgust."Avery, were you looking for me?" Nora forced a smile. "You're here earl

Nora did not dare to speak. Avery had gone nuts! She was scared to death!"You underestimate me." Avery pinched Nora's swollen and undignified face. She said, "I have never relied on a man to live! Even if the skies were to fall on me, I will give birth to my child successfully. Your schemes might work once or twice. But do you think it will work the third time?"…By the time Chad rushed over, Nora's face was already swollen.When Nora saw Chad, she instantly wailed, "Chad! Help! Avery has gone mad! She hit me! She's going to beat me to death!"Chad immediately walked over and pushed Avery's bodyguard away."Avery, what are you doing? We're at the office. You shouldn't come here and make a scene," Chad said sternly as he helped Nora up.Avery had a cold and calm look to her. "I'll teach her a lesson wherever I want to. If you're not happy about it, get your boss to talk to me."Chad was speechless. "What would happen if I got Elliot to talk to her? In the end, he would still l

Avery walked out of the lift. She did not plan to deal with them. Her only intention that day was to teach Nora a lesson. Now that she had relieved herself of her anger, she was feeling much better.Just as she was walking past Elliot, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm."What are you doing?" Avery looked at him.Elliot pulled her out of the office.Chelsea wanted to follow them, but Chad stopped her. "Chelsea, go and see Nora. She has been crying nonstop."Chelsea gritted her teeth. "Where is she?""I saw that her nose was a little crooked, so I got the guards to send her to the hospital," Chad said. "Go to the hospital and look for her! She's extremely upset. I'm afraid she might not think things through."Now that Chad had put it that way, Chelsea had no choice but to head to the hospital and visit Nora.Elliot pulled Avery to the entrance of the parking lot of the office. At that moment, there was no one else in the parking lot.When Chelsea drove past them, she g
