Chapter 670
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

Her misunderstanding about his nature might not be cleared in this lifetime."Avery, it's quite windy today. Go back and rest!" Elliot said and strode away.Avery was stunned, rooted to the spot.She never expected that Elliot would do nothing. He did not even offer a retort. She had underestimated his restraint.Her bodyguard walked over to her and said, "Miss Tate, let's get you home. It is quite windy today. Don't catch a cold."Avery did not feel that it was windy. At that moment, there was a raging fire burning inside her; it was burning brightly.…Elliot entered the office and Chad immediately followed suit. He reported the incident that had taken place in the PR department that morning to Elliot in detail."I asked the staff of the PR department. They said that Avery not only thinks that the woman in the video is Nora pretending to be her, but that Nora is also the person who gouged Zoe's eyes out."As Chad said those words, fear rose within him. Nora seemed gentle and

Once Nora saw Chelsea at the hospital, she could not stop crying."Chelsea, Avery has crossed the line. She dares beat me without any evidence! She has no respect for us!" Nora's face was slathered with medication. She looked wretched.Chelsea said calmly, "She's pregnant with Elliot's child now, which is why she's so brazen.""She is so much fiercer than what you told me! My nose is crooked because of her!" Nora said bitterly. "What is Elliot doing? Even if he doesn't help me, he should reprimand Avery on your behalf, right?""What are you thinking?" Chelsea felt bitter too. "He might say that he hates children, but Avery is pregnant with his child. He cherishes it a whole lot. No matter what Avery does now, he'd be able to put up with her. There is no bottom line.""Does that mean I took the slaps for nothing?" Nora asked in disbelief as her tears fell."Of course, I will not let you suffer for nothing! She might be beating you, but she is warning me!" Chelsea recalled what Ave

Avery had asked someone out at noon.She could not sleep the night before and had stayed up the whole night thinking. Chelsea and Nora had been secretly going up against her. If she did not fight back, they would think that she could be bullied. They would do even worse things later. Avery did not want to stay passive any longer.Avery had not managed to find any evidence that proved her innocence, but she could attack them from a different angle!Avery went to a restaurant nearby Cole's office. The person she had asked out was Cole.She had once truly admired him. She had thought that he was perfect and satisfied all the Prince Charming fantasies she had.However, when that filter was destroyed, she suddenly realized that he could not be any more ordinary.Beneath his pretty face lay cowardice, timidness, selfishness, and greed, all consuming his soul.Avery was drinking water when Cole pushed the door open and entered. He strode toward her."Avery, why are you looking for me?

"I'm here to give you money," Avery said. "I need you to help me do something. If you do what I say, I'll pay you. You can name your price."Cole never thought that he would be useful to her."Money is a small matter. Actually, Nora and I are not even acquaintances. I only flirted with her because I thought she was you…"Although he had not explicitly given her an answer, his intentions were clear."How much money did your company make last year?" Avery asked nonchalantly.Cole scratched his head awkwardly. "A few hundred thousand! I know I'm not capable. What I earn in a year is less than what my uncle earns in a day.""Cole, I'll give you one and a half million." Avery interrupted. "If you can accept this price, we'll continue our discussion.""Avery, with how well we know each other, even if you don't pay me, I'll still help you!" Cole adjusted his glasses, hiding how delighted he was."One and a half million! Of course, I'll take it," he thought."I still haven't forgotten

The screen exploded with comments once again.[Goddess? Avery Tate? Layla's mother is Avery Tate?][F*ck me! What right does Avery Tate have? She does not deserve to be Layla's mother!][Whenever I see Avery Tate's name, I think of that video! It's nauseating!][Am I the only one who is wondering whether Eric still thinks of her as his goddess?]The host did not expect Eric to suddenly bring up Avery. The host panicked and was stunned."Eric, are you announcing a new goddess?"Eric shook his head a little. His tone was firm. "I only have one goddess. She is Layla's mother."He was avoiding explicitly saying that Layla's mother was Avery. Once Avery was brought up, Eric had no intention of backing down. Instead, he took the initiative to talk about her."All this while, my fans have been concerned about my love life. I can now share all with you." Eric smiled at the camera. His smile was gentle and dazzling. "I have confessed to Layla's mother before, but I was rejected. If y

"Sir, I watched the video again. I zoomed into the woman's belly button and printed it out!" Chad pulled out a photo and handed it to Elliot. "You must know what Avery's belly button looks like, right? Take a look and compare them."When they had first watched the video, they had only focused on the woman's looks, voice, and pregnant belly. None of them noticed the shape of her belly button.They had overlooked this point. Everyone's belly button was shaped differently.Whoever was impersonating Avery may be able to copy her looks, voice, and appearance, but since Avery had never exposed her body in public, that person had no way of copying her belly button.Chad had a newfound admiration for Layla.A child was able to notice certain things that adults would easily overlook.Elliot glanced at the photo Chad handed to him, then placed it down."What do you think, Sir?" Chad thought that Elliot had figured it out.However, Elliot's brows furrowed as he asked, "Why do you think I

Since that was how he viewed things, he often took action first, and discuss it with Avery second."Don't take Layla for an ignorant child," said Eric. "Even if she hadn't known about it, she would have found out about it sooner or later. Didn't notice that she is smarter than most children?""In my eyes, she will forever be a child that needs my protection," growled Avery, refusing to accept his reason. "I'm sorry," Eric apologized once again. "Avery, I just wanted to do my best. With Layla's current popularity, someone will definitely dig up who her family is. Instead of having her find out about the situation from an outsider, don't you think it is better that she finds out about it from us now?" Avery felt like a lump in her throat and could not say a word."The live stream is almost over. Let's talk when I send Layla home later," Eric said and hung up.Avery held onto her phone and sat on the couch.Layla's words during the live stream echoed in her mind.Ever since Layl
