Chapter 652
When Chelsea heard that Ben and Elliot were fighting, she hurried over and by the time she arrived, the fight had stopped because Chad had gotten between and broken them apart.Chad had been accidentally struck for trying to stop the fighting. His spectacles were shattered, and there was blood on his face."Outside, now, Ben!" Chelsea commanded coldly before dragging him outside.Once Ben was out of the room, Chad glanced over at Elliot.It had been Elliot who was hitting Ben, and Ben did not fight back at all which brought Chad to the conclusion that Ben had somehow provoked Elliot. Elliot would not have attacked him unprovoked. However, the two had been best friends for years and had never even argued much, let alone physically hurt one another."Mr. Foster, what happened?" Chad asked as he pushed through the pain. "Did Ben do something? Did he betray you?"Elliot clenched his fists and went back to sit down on the chair. "Get out!"Elliot's head was throbbing, and he struggle

Avery held onto her phone thoughtfully.She could sense Ben's change in attitude toward her. He had always been polite with her, but he sounded as though he was reluctant to talk to her, and he sounded like he despised her."Does he hate me because I was in Caesar Hotel last night?" she wondered. "But, I didn't do anything, so why would Ben be mad at me? Maybe, he thinks that I should not stay in a hotel on my own?" Up until this point, Avery still could not make sense of why the thief would ask her to go to that hotel. The thief had not done anything to her. They had simply sedated her.She had gone for a check-up, and luckily, they had given her the minimal dose, and it had not affected her in any other way apart from putting her to sleep.Meanwhile, Chelsea brought a cup of coffee and set it down before Elliot."Elliot, I talked to Ben just now," she said. "He thinks that you are giving too much and getting too little in return. Aside from that, you are constantly delaying yo

Avery was already seven months along. The further along she was, the easier she got exhausted. She had been at home with the children ever since Layla's return from the location of the shoot.Summer holidays would be over soon, and under Layla's relentless begging, Avery decided to take her to Bridgedale for a few days to pick Hayden up.As the two traveled to Bridgedale, the sex tape had gone viral throughout the country. Wherever the video could not be posted, a censored screenshot was posted.[I didn't think that a woman as rich as Avery Tate would sell her body for money! She is heavily pregnant right now, isn't she scared of having a miscarriage?][How do you know she did it for the money? She is definitely not short of money! Haven't you heard that most wealthy people are perverts? She has to be doing that for thrills!][Ugh, my eyes! She looks so tame in public! Who knew that she is this slutty in private! I wonder if the man in the video is the father of the baby. It wou

She could go into labor at any moment, but what would happen if there was a rope around the baby's neck threatening to kill it. If Avery was living such a messy private life, it cannot 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 could not bear to witness Elliot's reaction.On his way to find Ben, he spotted Ben stepping out of the elevator."Ben, have you seen the news?" Chad asked awkwardly. "The news about Avery.""What do you think?" Ben scowled furiously. "I found out a week ago! Why else would I be that angry?"Chad was taken by surprise. "How did you find out, Ben?""Why don't you go ask Mike? Considering how close he is to Avery, he must have known everything!"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 could not lie which meant that not even Mike knew that Avery had b

Anger gleamed in his eyes. The word 'skank' was a blade that pierced his heart. To him, Avery had always been the purest, most innocent person in the world, so she could not possibly be the woman in the video.However, no matter how reluctant he was to admit it, the woman's face and voice, coupled with her protruding stomach stood in sharp contrast to Elliot's view of Avery. "I've known you for almost twenty years now, Elliot. Do you think I would hurt you?" Ben saw the pain in Elliot's eyes and felt sorry for him. "If you don't believe me, you can go ask Chelsea. We stumbled upon her that night. Do you know why we held back from telling you about it? It's because we wanted Avery to give birth to your child, and we didn't want to cause any trouble at this time… But it turns out that Avery is shameless enough to create a sex tape!""Don't you think that the video is too blurry?" Elliot's emotions were playing tug of war with his brain. It tore him apart. "That video has to be fake!"
Chapter 657
[So everyone knows that Avery went fooling around with another man despite being pregnant, right?][A friend of mine who works at the airport told me that Avery flew overseas earlier this morning. I assume that she did so to hide until the storm passes!][I'm so scared! My friend posted a screenshot of Avery's video, and his account was blocked. Will mentioning Avery Tate's name itself become a taboo soon?]The netizens had been correct. Half an hour later, the words 'Avery Tate' had been completely banned from the internet. This only further provoked the netizens, and soon, Tate Industries became the top most searched topic.Mike stared at the comments on the internet coldly with his blue eyes.He should have accompanied Avery to Bridgedale, but with what was happening in Aryadelle, he had more reasons to stay and make sure that the company operated as per usual."Mike, um…" Shaun opened the door to Mike's office awkwardly and asked, "Is… President Tate okay?""She went to Brid

Avery thought that she was dreaming, as she struggled to understand what Mike had just said.She was sitting at home so what could possibly happen to her?Mike did not get any response from her and asked, "Avery, when you went to Caesar Hotel back then, did you meet with a man for 'that' kind of thing?""What kind of thing?""It's that… kind of thing…" Mike could not bring himself to be too direct, but she soon realized what he was referring to from the way he was stuttering."What makes you say that?" She walked toward her room with the phone in hand. "Mike, what exactly happened?""I'll send you a video. Check and see if that's you in it." Worried that she might get upset after watching it, he hastily added, "I know that you are not the woman in the video, but the resemblance is just too uncanny…"At this point, Avery could roughly guess what had happened. She hung up, took a deep breath, and clicked on the video Mike had sent her.The voice of the woman in the video was the

She could not bring herself to imagine how Elliot might react after he had watched the video. Avery hoped that he would trust her unconditionally, but she also knew him to be a man of reason. Until she could produce absolute proof that she was not the woman in the video, she did not allow herself to hope for his trust."Yeah," Mike sighed and said, "this sort of scandal travels fast. I've already gotten rid of the video and all related discussions, but everyone knows."Avery lost all the strength in her legs, and she almost fell to the ground."Avery, if that's not you, then we need to find that woman in the video. Otherwise, she will keep posing," said Mike through gritted teeth. "Don't read the local news. Those people are nasty, and I don't want you to get angry.""How do we find her?" Avery clenched her phone tightly as her head started to pound. "Who is that woman?!""I'm suspecting Nora," said Mike. "She has undergone plastic surgery to look like you. She made sure that you
