Realizing that he could no longer hide the truth from Elliot, Chad said, "Avery went to see Wanda Tate today and ended up falling down after Wanda's bodyguard pushed her."

That morning, Chad had informed Elliot that Wanda's assistant was the one behind the viral news a few days ago.

Elliot had planned to take some time to see Wanda over the matter.

He did not expect Avery to be one step ahead of him.

Chad heard Elliot's heavy breathing on the other side of the line and instantly became anxious.

"It was an accident, Sir. You can't blame Avery… She doesn't want anything to happen to the child, either… She's really down right now. Please don't get mad at her when you get here—"

Elliot hung up.

Ever since Chad had gotten together with Mike, he had become severely biased in favor of Avery.

Elliot cared about the child, but that did not mean that he did not care for Avery's wellbeing.

If it ever came down to having to choose between Avery and the child, he would always choose Avery.
