Mike was driving to Elyette’s mansion. He had his bluetooth earpiece on. “How could they blame Zoe’s miscarriage on Averie? Averie isn’t that type of person!” he grumbled to Chad who was on the other side of the call.
Chad said, “Mr. Foster did not come to work today. I have heard about Zoe’s incident too, but I was not there. I can’t say much about it. My advice to you is to not get too angry about it. They are adults; they will surely solve the matter properly.”
“How funny! Averie might be an adult, but I can’t be so sure about your boss!” Mike said sarcastically. “If he had any brains, he should not have suspected Averie! He called Averie in the afternoon and threatened her. I was next to Averie. I heard everything! If anything were to happen to Averie, I will not let him go easily!”
Chad was infuriated by Mike’s threats. “How are you planning to deal with Mr. Foster?”
“I’ll expose him! I have tons of dirt on him!”
“You’re nuts! If you dare to expose him, he will send you to prison!” Chad pushed his glasses higher up his nose. “Don’t be reckless. Let me make some calls to see if anyone knows where he is.”
Averie was at a hotel. She was staring at the man in front of her with confusion. Elyette had called her out here because he wanted to solve the problem. So, she had come here.
She never thought that he would take her to a hotel after she had met him.
“Elyette, how are you planning to solve the problem?” Averie asked him sternly. She had asked him this after he had taken her phone from her.
“Let’s have some food first.” He picked up the menu in the room and started ordering.
Averie looked at the luxurious presidential suite. She had a vague feeling that things were becoming strange.
She strode over to the exit and opened the door. Outside, two bodyguards were looking at her with dark expressions.
She gasped, took a step back, and shut the door!
“Elyette, are you imprisoning me?” She walked over to him, snatched the menu away, and threw it on the floor! Elyette looked at her coldly. “You killed my child, you will give me one in return!”
Give him one in return?
Averie thought she had misheard him. A child is not a product, how could she give him one in return?
Looking at the confusion on her face, he said calmly, “You will use your womb to give me another one. I don’t care if the child is dead or alive, just so long as it’s mine!”
Averie shuddered. She yelled hysterically, “Elyette! Have you gone nuts!”
When she had been pregnant with his children, he had gotten his bodyguards to drag her to an abortion clinic! Had he forgotten about it?!
Now, he was forcing her to bear him a child! What was he treating her as? A toy?
Forcing her to get pregnant whenever he wanted, forcing her to have an abortion whenever he did not want a child?
“Hehe!
“Yes! I am nuts!” His eyes reddened with hatred. “Averie, you’re the one who drove me crazy! You and your lies! You kept driving me to the edge, and my patience has its limits!”
Averie was so intimidated by how terrifying he was behaving that she did not dare make a sound.
She retreated and finally fell to the sofa.
“Averie, I will no longer show you mercy! You have made a mistake, so you must accept the consequences! I don’t care if you conceive a stillborn!” he said coldly. “From today onward, you will appear whenever I need you. You will do so until you are pregnant with my child!”
Elyette towered over Averie, looking down on her, backing her to a corner.
Averie gripped the sofa’s sheets tightly. Her chest heaving quickly. The thought of a child being born, and how coldly he would treat it made Averie’s heart lurch, so she fought back. “No! Go and find another woman!”
“This is not up to you! This time, even if you run to the ends of the world, I will find you and take you!” Elyette looked at her coldly and said frigidly, “If you want freedom, you either die or you give me a child! Don’t think you can use death as an escape unless you are taking your kids with you. If you die, your kids will pay the price!”
Averie was speechless.
His cool fingers unbuttoned her buttons one by one. He completely got rid of her dignity!
Mike parked the car outside the Foster mansion and explained his reason for coming to the guard on duty.
“I’m a Mike a good friend of Mr. Foster. He asked me here for a drink.” Mike thought it was best to get in first before playing things by ear.
Mike came over once, and the guard still remembered him. He was not a friend of his boss. He was Averie’s friend.
“Mr. Foster is not home. Come back when he’s here!” The guard stopped him.
“Oh, do you know when he is coming back?”
“I don’t know.”
“Oh, then, is Shea home? Shea and I are friends too.” Mike’s mind was spinning. Then, he yelled at the mansion, “Shea! Come open the door! It’s Mike! Hayden and Layla asked me to come and look for you!”
Hearing Mike’s yells, Mrs. Cooper walked out.
“Mrs. Cooper! Is Shea home? Get her to open the door for me!” Mike craned his head and yelled at Mrs. Cooper, who was in the courtyard.
A moment later, Mrs. Cooper brought Shea out.
When Shea saw Mike, she immediately walked to the entrance and opened the door for him.
In this house, after Elyette, Shea was the most powerful. The bodyguard did not dare offend Shea.
“Shea! Averie has gone missing! I suspect that Elyette has taken her away!” Mike grabbed Shea’s hand and asked for her help. “If I can’t contact Averie, will you follow me home? I’ll exchange Averie for you. Please, come with me?”
Shea nodded, barely giving it any thought. Mike thought that he was a complete genius! This method was brilliant!
Mike told his brilliant idea to Chad.
Chad said, “Mr. Foster will not be threatened. Shea’s nanny and bodyguard will always follow her. Taking her to Averie’s house is just a change of living accommodations.”
Mike was baffled.
Chad continued, “Mr. Foster will not harm Averie. I can guarantee you that.”
Mike said, “How are you going to guarantee that?”
“If you don’t believe me, fine! I’m at the hospital seeing Zoe now. She has not come around yet.”
Mike’s anxiety lessened slightly. “What’s going on with her now?”
“She has been unconscious since the blood transfusion.”
“Oh, Averie said that she did not push Zoe. What do you think Zoe is thinking?” Mike wondered. “Is the child in her not Elyette’s?”
“Of course, you’re siding with Averie. It’s hard to say what the truth is,” Chad said objectively.
Mike chuckled. “I think the child in her is not Elyette’s. If the child was Elyette’s, she would have fought with all her might. She would not have fallen with a single push. You should get Elyette to do a paternity test.”
“No can do. Zoe’s father took the child away at the hospital.”
“Hahaha!”
“Stop laughing. Zoe’s life is still hanging by the thread. No matter who the child belongs to, it doesn’t matter,” Chad said. “After all, the child is dead.”
“What do you mean it doesn’t matter? Averie is being wrongfully blamed!” Mike said angrily.
“Don’t be such a pessimist. Mr. Foster never wanted the child. Now that the child is gone, perhaps he might even thank Averie!” Chad said. “Averie is not home right now, aren’t you going to look after the kids?”
“We hired a bodyguard.”
“Oh, then you just wait at Mr. Foster’s place then! I’ve already contacted everyone. No one knows where he is either.”
Mike furrowed his brows in worry.
“By the way, I heard a piece of news today.” Before Chad hung up, he suddenly remembered something. “Wanda sold off her cosmetics company. The one abroad. She cashed it for four hundred and fifty million. It looks like she is preparing to return to the country.”
“Oh, that witch! Once she returns, I’ll make sure her life is hell!”
“Don’t underestimate her. Wanda is business savvy. If she has decided to return, she must have a plan. You have to remind Averie to be careful,” Chad said, then he switched topics. “I think you should still go back home! It’s pointless for you to wait at Mr. Foster’s place.”
