“Miss. Tate, are you here on your own?” The doctor asked, “you will need to be under observation in the hospital in two hours later, so you should contact someone and get them to come here!”
If Laura was still alive, Averie would definitely ask her to be here.
She opened her contact list and called Tammy in the end.
When Tammy heard that Averie was in a hospital, she hurried over after asking which hospital and which department Averie was in.
Two hours later, Tammy sent her home. She did not bother Averie because Averie appeared to be depressed.
As she drove out of Starry River Villa, Tammy became increasingly frustrated.
Though Averie did not tell her what happened, she had guessed that the baby was not doing well.
‘It’s not like the baby belongs to Averie alone, why does Averie have to suffer while Elyette carries on like nothing’s wrong?’ She thought.
She found Elyette’s number and called him, but no one answered. The line was automatically dropped and so she called Chad instead.
Chad picked up in no time and Tammy immediately asked, “Chad, where’s Elyette right now? I need to talk to him about something.”
“What do you need? It’s the opening ceremony for the foundation today so he’s a bit busy.”
“No wonder he is not answering my call.” Tammy parked her car on the side of the road.” What’s the address of the venue? I will go look forza him.”
“What exactly do you need from him, Tammy? You can contact him another day if it’s not urgent,” Chad reminded her.
“Of course it’s urgent for me to be looking for him right now!” Tammy’s tone was becoming more and more agitated. “Just give me the address already! I am calling Ben if you refuse to tell me!”
Chad gasped. “Did something happen to Averie?”
Tammy definitely wouldn’t contact Elyette for no reason and considering how close she was to Averie, the only urgent matter she could have to talk to Elyette had to be related to Averie.
“Why is it so difficult to communicate with you, Chad? Just man up and tell me the address!”
Naturally, Tammy wouldn’t mention anything about Averie’s visit to the hospital to anyone. All she wanted to do at the moment was to find Elyette and make him take the responsibility as the baby’s father.
Pressured, Chad gave her the address. “When can you fix that hot temper of yours, Tammy? Without the support of your dad and your husband, you are bound to run into trouble.”
“You are just jealous that I have someone to back me up, right? I will never change! Not even Elyette can do anything about it, so the same goes to you!” Tammy declared, before hanging up.
The opening ceremony for the foundation was held in a hotel with countless entrepreneurs invited. There were luxury cars as far as the eyes could see from the entrance of the hotel and there were sécurity guards dressed in black everywhere.
Tammy drove to the hotel and was stopped at the entrance when she was about to enter the hall because she didn’t have an invitation.
“Get out of the way! I am a friend of Elyette Foster. If you don’t let me in, I’m going to get Elyette to fire you!” Tammy lifted her chin proudly.
The staff was at a crossroad. “Miss, I will get fired if I let you in as well. Can you call Mr. Foster and get him to talk to me?”
“He is too busy today to pick up the phone.”
“Alright!” The staff member compromised and said, “wait here, Miss, I will get the person in charge here.”
Two minutes later, the staff came back with Chelsea.
Chelsea was surprised to see Tammy and asked, “why are you looking for Elyette? He’s busy today.”
“It’s just an ordinary event, are you telling me that it can’t go on without him?” Tammy asked sarcastically, “does he not have time to take a sip of water or use the bathroom?”
Chelsea did not waver despite Tammy’s assertive mannerism. “What exactly is it that you need, Tammy? Considering the fact that your husband is friends with Elyette, I can help to relay your message.”
“I don’t need you to relay my message! Let me in. I will leave after I have a few words with him!” Tammy demanded in frustration.
“I would have let you in if this was any ordinary event, but there are a lot of important people here today and I can’t just let you in. If you don’t want to leave a message, fine. I am busy, too, and I don’t have time to waste here withof you.”
Chelsea had guessed that Tammy was here looking for Elyette because of Averie, so naturally, she couldn’t possibly let Tammy into the event venue.
Tammy felt that she was being picked on by Chelsea, so she retorted bluntly, “Chelsea Tierney, who do you think you are to stop me from going in when you are aware that my husband is friends with Elyette? Do you think that you represent Elyette? Not even Chad dares to talk to me like this, who do you think you are? You are just a hound kept by Elyette!”
Chelsea’s eyes reddened at the insult. “Since you said that I’m his hound, Tammy, then I have more reasons to stop you from going in. Even hounds have a duty, and that is to guard their masters’ doors!”
Enraged, Tammy raised her hand and struck Chelsea across the face.
‘Snap!
The bodyguards and staff around them gaped. One of the staff walked up to Chelsea and whispered, “Miss Tierney, are you okay? Should we chase this woman out?”
“Can’t you tell that we are in no place to mess with her?” Chelsea responded sarcastically despite the burning sensation on her cheek. “Go inform Mister Foster and get him over here.”
The staff immediately went inside to look for Elyette, who appeared shortly after.
He glanced at Chelsea’s face, before looking over at Tammy.
“Elyette, your PR manager got in my way and refuses to let me in. I wonder who gave her the power to act like that in front of me?!” Tammy accused.
Chelsea lowered her head at Tammy’s words and said, “I’m sorry, Elyette. It’s not that I’m trying to keep her out on purpose, but she won’t tell me what she wants when I asked about it, so I didn’t dare to just let her in.”
The looks in Elyette’s eyes became extremely cold. “Tammy Lynch, who gave you the right to beat people here?”
“It’s her fault for getting in my way! I said that I would leave after having a few words with you, is that not enough of an explanation? What did she think, that I was going to cause trouble if I went inside? Does she know who I am?” Tammy raised her voice and had completely forgotten why she had come in the first place.
“Apologize!” Elyette gritted out sternly, “apologize to Chelsea!”
“Dream on! How can you side with her, Elyette? I’ve been wrong about you thinking that you could bear the responsibility as a father…. I should have never believed in a dirtbag like you!” Blinded by rage, Tammy blurted out her thoughts at the moment, “no wonder Averie doesn’t want to be with you, it’s because she’s figured out what kind of a person you really are!”
Elyette had never struck a woman before, but Tammy had pushed it past the point.
The fact that Tammy had struck Chelsea and refused to apologize was not the main reason why he was overwhelmed by anger; she said that he could not bear the responsibility of a father, that he was a dirtbag and Averie did not want to be with him because she had found out about his real character… He swung a blow and Tammy’s head snapped to the side under the impact of the slap.
Tammy covered her swollen cheek dazedly. To her surprise, she heard Elyette saying, “scram!”
Tammy had been treated like a princess for over twenty years. No one had ever come close to laying a hand on her face or telling her to scram.
Though hot-tempered, she was not a strong-willed person.
With a hand on her face, she ran off in tears.
Elyette clenched his fists as he watched her run away. He could already imagine how angry Averie would be when Tammy told her about this; but what had happened cannot be changed and he would have taught Tammy a lesson even if he had to do it all over again.
Tammy had no idea when to stop and not only was her words inappropriate, her behavior was presumptuous as well.
Though Chelsea was merely his PR manager, she was also a lady of the Tierney Family. Regardless of reasons, Tammy should not have crossed Chelsea in public.
…
Tammy ran out of the hotel in tears. Once she got into her car, she drove onto the highway and called Jun. “Wah…Hubby! Elyette hit me!”
Tears kept streaming down her face as Tammy had a meltdown. There was no way that she could drive and so she stopped the car by the road and bawled while leaning against the steering wheel.
Jun’s face twitched and he asked in disbelief, “what did you just said?” Elyette hit you?!”
“Stop calling him by his first name! He hit me! That bast*rd hit me over Chelsea Tierney.” Tammy wailed and felt as though she could suffocate the next moment.
Jun’s heart ached at the state she was in and asked, “Tammy, where are you right now? I’ll go pick you up!”
“Wah! I am outside the hotel and I have the emergency signal lights on… I can’t stop crying so I can’t drive!”
