Chapter 210 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

Chad was also wounded on the face, so the two went to have their injuries treated together. The atmosphere was slightly awkward inside the elevator.

“Ben, what’s going on with the two of you? I asked Mr. Foster about it just now, but he won’t say a thing,” Chad asked gingerly, “what’s so severe that can’t be resolved by just talking with one another? Fighting would affect your friendship.”

Ben did not want to tell Chad about it, as he felt that Chad was on Averie’s side in some way.

The elevator arrived at the first floor and the door slowly opened.

Ben’s phone rang and he took it out to realize that it was a call from Averie.He had called her the night before but her phone had been switched off, and she had now called him backHe accepted the call and heard Averie’s casual voice saying, “I didn’t get your call last night, Ben. Is there something you need?”

“I saw a woman last night in Caesar Hotel and she looked a lot like you, so I called you to make sure,” Ben said emotionlessly.

Chad was surprised by how cold Ben’s attitude was towards Averie.

“I was in that hotel last night,” she said.

Just as she thought Ben was going to ask why she was in the hotel, he said, “then there’s nothing.”

With that, he hung up.

Chad was confused.

“Ben, I know that you are in a fight with Mr. Foster, but you don’t have to vent your anger on Averie, do you?”

“You have it the other way around, but don’t ask me why I am in a fight with Elyette because of her. Don’t ask,” Ben said in a cold tone.

“Oh. I won’t ask.” Chad didn’t know what happened, but judging from Ben’s reaction, the situation was bad.

Averie held onto her phone thoughtfully.

She could sense Ben’s change in attitude towards her. He had always been polite with her, but he sounded as though he was reluctant to talk to her and appeared to despise her in the phone call just now.

Was it because she was in Caesar Hotel the night before? But she hadn’t done anything in the hotel, so why would Ben be angry with her? Perhaps he thought that it was inappropriate for her to be in a hotel on her own?

Up until this point, Averie still couldn’t make sense of why the thief would call her to the hotel. The thief had not done anything to her and simply put her to sleep with sedatives.She went to the hospital for a check-up the day before and luckily, the dose was minimal and had no effect on her body.

Meanwhile, in Sterling Group.

Chelsea brought a cup of coffee and set it down before Elyette.

“Elyette, 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, your work is being delayed because of her all the time…”

“It can’t be because of that,” Elyette scowled and argued, “there has to be another reason that causes his sudden hatred towards Averie.”

Chelsea suddenly felt a little scared as she studied the distrustful expression on Elyette’s handsome face.

No matter the time and occasion, this was a man who remained highly alert and defensive; it was extremely difficult to lie to him.

“I heard that you were in a gathering with him last night?” Elyette looked up and stared sharply at Chelsea.

“Yes. I wasn’t feeling so well last night, so I asked for his help to keep my client’s company. Both of us had a bit too much to drink.”

“Nothing else happened?” Elyette stared at her face, trying to determine if she was lying.

“Nothing… Elyette, why don’t you get back to work first? Once the two of you calm down, you should talk.” Worried that Elyette would notice something was wrong, Chelsea changed the topic and said, “by the way, Nora’s injury has mostly recovered, so I will tell her to come to work tomorrow.”

Elyette turned his attention back to the computer screen. “Go back to work.”

Chelsea stepped out of his office and the mask she had been wearing on her face cracked. Despite the fact that Nora had saved Elyette and that she looked far more beautiful than Averie, Elyette did not waver.

‘‘Does he not even care about women’s faces? But what if Averie’s face is ruined? Will he still love her then?’’ She thought.

A week later, the entertainment show that Layla and Eric had gone on was aired. Because of how popular Eric was, the show was instantly the talk of the town and Layla became famous because of it as well.

Layla was adorable-looking and though she was not particularly lively, she was sharp tongued. As soon as the show was aired, she instantly became the sweetheart of the country.

‘‘I want a daughter like that! Her parents must be really good-looking! Layla is so pretty!’’

‘‘Not only is she pretty, she is so cool as well! She’s so smart! I love her! Ohhh! This makes me want to have my own daughter!’’

‘‘Wake up! You can’t give birth to a baby as cute as Layla!’’

‘‘It’s not an exaggeration to say that Layla looks much better than some actresses, is it?’’

‘‘How can you even compare Layla to those plastics? Set Layla apart from them! Hmph!”

As Layla became famous on the internet, some of the netizens began researching her parents. However, the production team was extremely discreet about this, so no one could find any information despite their effort.

Coincidentally, a sex tape of a couple appeared on the internet. The resolution of the video was poor but it was clear enough for one to notice that the woman on the video was naked and had dollar bills all over her body.

The side of her face was directed at the camera and everyone could tell that it was Averie; aside from that, her swollen belly and her moaning voice were further proof that it was her.

Averie was already seven months along her pregnancy. The further along she was, the more easily she felt exhausted.

She remained at home to be with her children ever since Layla came home from taking part in the entertainment show.

Summer holidays would be over soon and under Layla’s relentless begging, Averie decided to take her to Bridgedale for a few days and pick Hayden up along the way.

As the two travelled to Bridgedale, the sex tape had gone viral throughout the country; wherever the video couldn’t be posted, censored screenshot was posted.

‘‘I didn’t think that a woman as rich as Averie 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 if she did it for the money? She is definitely not short of money! Haven’t you heard that most of the wealthy people are perverts? She has to be doing that for thrills!’’

‘‘Ugh, my eyes! This woman looks tamed, who knows that she is this slutty in private! I wonder if the man in the video is the father of the baby. It would be interesting if he is not!’’

‘‘He’s definitely not the father! Wealthy women like her couldn’t possibly stay put! She didn’t get married when she got pregnant simply because that’s more convenient for her to fooled around!‘‘ Her skin is so fair! Even with her swollen belly, I can tell that she has a really good figure. She’s my type!

‘‘I heard that she had a thing with Elyette Foster, the president of Sterling Group, as well! Can that man in the video by Elyette Foster?’’

‘‘No way! The belly of that man in the video is so big that he has to be a gross obese man! Elyette Foster has a good figure!’’

‘‘I just can’t understand why she won’t go for a better-looking man when she’s this rich… Doesn’t Eric Santos like her? She has really weird standards!’’

‘‘F*ck! Can you leave Eric out of this sort of scandal? Our Eric is super innocent. He blushes even when he’s just talking to women, so Averie can just scram!’’

Ben was the first to see the scandal and the video. He had learnt Averie’s true face a week ago, so he did not doubt whether the video was real when someone started speculating about Averie’s video in the chat group.

Someone in the group inspected the video closely and compared the content to Averie in reality, before posting a summary.

‘‘The voice of the woman in the video sounded exactly like Averie; I’m sure anyone who has ever heard Averie’s voice would be able to tell”

Comparing both women’s side profiles, they look practically identical;

The pregnant belly. I’m pretty sure that everyone who has seen Averie lately knows that she is pregnant. There might be a woman in this world that resembles her, but she couldn’t be coincidentally pregnant at the same time, right?

Their purses. Not sure if you guys realize it, but there is a purse on the nightstand. Averie had carried the same exact bag before.’

Ben sighed heavily after reading the message.

He had intended on exposing Averie in front of Elyette once she delivered the baby; he had not imagined that Averie would record herself with another man. Recording the video was bad enough, but why would she show it to everyone?

Outside the door of the President’s office, Chad roughly went through the video and felt as though the sky was crushing down on them. He didn’t dare to study the face of the woman in the video, but could tell from the woman’s voice that it was Averie.

He couldn’t imagine what drastic drama would unfold when Elyette saw the video. Another two months and the baby inside Averie would be due.
