Averie could not do anything to them, so she could only accept it.
At that moment, Mike yawned and came out of his room.
“Averie, I heard that you went to beat Nora up. Why are you so amazing?” Mike had a sleepy look on his face. He was not fully up yet.
“Whoever you want to beat up, just get the bodyguard to do it, why do it yourself? What happens if it affects the child?”
Averie said, “How would it affect the child? Usually being beaten up would affect the child more.”
“Hahaha! You’re right. But beating her up won’t relieve much of the anger.” Mike sighed. “This is only the first step,”
Averie said calmly, “They are not the only scheming ones.”
At the hospital. Once Nora saw Chelsea, she could not stop crying.
“Chelsea, Averie has crossed the line. She dares to beat me without any evidence! She totally has no respect for us!” Nora’s face had medication on it. She looked extremely wretched at that moment.
Chelsea said calmly, “She’s pregnant with Elyette’s child now, which is why she dares to be so brazen.”
“She is so much fiercer than what you said! My nose was crooked from her beating,” Nora said bitterly, “What is
Elyette doing? Even if he doesn’t help me, he should reprimand Averie on your behalf, right?”
“What are you thinking?” Chelsea felt bitter too. “He might say that he hates children, but Averie is pregnant with his child, he cherishes it a whole lot. No matter what Averie does now, he would be able to put up with her. There is no bottom line.”
“Does that mean I took the slaps for nothing?” Nora’s tears fell. She asked in disbelief.
“Of course, I will not let you suffer for nothing! She might be beating you, but she is warning me!” Chelsea recalled what Averie said to her. She was so furious she shuddered.
At that moment, Chelsea’s phone rang. She walked over to the balcony to answer the call. A moment later, she returned to the room with a darkeneded expression.
“Chelsea, what is it?” Nora felt that something bad had happened.
“Hehe! Guess!” Chelsea held her phone tightly. She was so furious she turned mad. “Not only is Elyette not helping you, but that’s fine! He wants you to resign too!”
“How did it turn out this way? Did Averie tell him something?” Nora grabbed her sheets tightly. She speculated frantically, “Does Averie have proof!”
“She has nothing! If she had proof, the person that she looked for today would not be you but the police!” Chelsea’s face flushed red. She gritted her teeth. “Elyette fired you because you look too much like Averie! He said that he did not need a substitute!”
Nora’s heart sank. She suddenly felt that her existence meant nothing anymore.
She has done up to look like Averie. She learned how to mimic Averie’s voice just so that she could replace Averie one day, yet Elyette refused her so determinedly.
“Nora, don’t be sad. You’re so pretty. Even if you don’t marry Elyette in the future, you’ll be able to marry a wealthy man,” Chelsea comforted her, “Get well soon. Let me head back and do some proper planning.”
“Are you unhappy with me?” Nora lowered her head.
“No.You listen to me, and you do things well too. No matter how arrogant Averie is, her reputation has been ruined.
No one would believe her even if she explained herself. This is enough.”
Nora nodded. “That’s good. Anyway, I’ll obey what you say.”
“Hmm. I will make her pay for what she did today.” Chelsea patted Nora on the shoulders.” Rest well, I’ll get the nanny to come to look after you.”
At the Starry River Villa, after Averie said that she was only at her first step, Mike immediately asked what her next step was, but Averie refused to tell him.
“Okay, fine! But you must be careful of your safety!” Mike glanced at her tummy. “If I were you, I won’t even be able to move. How do you have so much energy? You could still seek revenge after you have the child!”
“You don’t let me go to the office. Now you’re still trying to limit my other activities?” Averie raised her eyebrows and glared at him. “If you’re not tired, then go to the office!”
“I’m tired! I worked late last night! I slept at four! If it wasn’t for Chad who called me just now, I would surely not wake up,” Mike said and returned to his room. Averie looked at the time before taking her bag and heading out.
Averie had asked someone out at noon.
She could not sleep the night before, thinking throughout the entire night. Chelsea and Nora had been secretly going up against her. If she did not fight back, they would think that she could be easily bullied. They would do even worse things later. Averie did not want to stay passive any further.
Averie might not be able to find evidence to prove her innocence on the video incident for the time being, but she could attack from a different angle!
Averie went to a restaurant nearby Cole’s office. The person she asked out was Cole.
As for this man, she has once truly admired him before. She thought that he was perfect and satisfied her fantasies of Prince Charming.
However, when that filter of perception was destroyed, she suddenly realized that he could not be any more ordinary.
Beneath his pretty face laid cowardice, timidness, selfishness, and greed, consuming his soul.
Averie was drinking some water when Cole pushed the door and entered. He strode in.
“Averie, why did you think of looking for me?” Cole sat opposite her. He deliberately looked at her tummy. “You’re going to give birth soon, right?” “I’m sure you don’t like children, right?” Averie said calmly.
“How is it possible! I’m not my uncle!” Cole immediately retorted.
“Then, how could you bear to kill Zoe?” Averie distractedly glanced at him. “Cole, I know all about it. What did Nora give you that you would dare help her kill your own child?”
Without Cole’s help previously, how could Zoe’s eyes be so easily gouged by others?
Too bad the Sanfords had no power in Aryadelle, if not, if they were to look into it, Cole would not be able to escape responsibility!
“You…” Cole was tongue-tied. He wanted to ask how she knew but immediately realized that he would be exposing himself if he said that.
“Don’t worry. I came here looking for you just to understand how much they gave you for you to do such cruel things.” Averie’s tone was calm, but every word she said hit the nail on the head.
Cole was provoked that his eyes reddened. “I only wanted to put Zoe in her place, I didn’t mean to kill my child.
Averie, why do you have to think of me so cruelly? Zoe killed herself, I didn’t…”
“Put her in her place? You say so easily. Let me gouge your eyes out and see how you feel,” Averie said. She saw his brows furrowed tightly. His expressions darkened. Thus, Averie poured him a cup of water. “Just tell me how much
Nora gave you!”
“Nothing.” Cole picked the cup up and downed the water in one go.
Averie was stunned. “Then, why did you help them? Cole, are you nuts?”
“Maybe! I hate Zoe, which is why I helped them.”
“If you hate her, why did you still want to be with her?” Averie found it absurd.
“You would surely laugh at me if I told you the reason.” Cole looked at Averie helplessly. “Back then, I only pleased her because she had money. Who would have thought that she lost all of her money later and even got pregnant with my child? What could I do? I could only let her give birth to it!”
“Averie, the only person I ever gave my heart to is you.” Cole was suddenly confessing his love, “When I got together with Cassandra , it was just for excitement and pleasure. None of those women could compare to you.”
Averie exposed his lies. “That’s because they are both dead. You can’t get anything from them anymore, so you find me especially useful.”
Cole was so furious his facial expression was distorted.
“Averie, I don’t think you look for me just to tell me this, right? Tell me! What are you here for?
“I’m here to give you money,” Averie 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.
