You’re half the reason my sister became this way.
If I were you, I wouldn’t have let her remain at Sterling Group back then.
If you don’t love her, then you shoudln’t have given her any hope at all!”
“I kept her at the company because of her work ethic and capability!”
“I know that, but don’t you think she would start imagining things if she saw you every day?
There’s no point in talking about any of this at this point.” Charlie let out a sigh, then said,” Chelsea is traveling abroad right now.
Tell me what you want her to do?”
“I want her dead.”
“Ellliot Foster!
After all the years she’s been bby your side, do you have to be this heartless with her?” Charlie took in a sharp breath, unable to accept this result.
“Can’t you let her live for my sake?
We were classmates, after all.”
“Should I let her live so that she can continue to torment Averie?
“I guarantee that she won’t ever bother you again!
I’ll watch her!” Charlie exclaimed : earnestly.
“You have the love of your life with you and she’s even given you a son.
Your life is complete!
Forgive and forget!
Back when you went insane, life gave you another chance.
Why can’t you do the same for Chelsea?
I can get proof from the hospital that she’s suffering from mental illness!”
Charlie’s words were a huge blow to Elyette.
Proof of mentall illness?
How did Charlie know about that?
Elyette’s silence made Charlie feel relieved, so he added confidently, “Everyone has lost control of themselves at some point, Elyette.
I won’t open up your old wounds, but don’t you force my sister to her death!
Otherise, I’m taking you down along with her!
I bet Averie Tate doesn’t know about your past scandals, right?
You don’t want your son to get picked on growing up, do you?
If that’s the case, then let this entire thing come to an end here!”
Elyette’s expression was eeriely chilling.
Chad did not know what Charlie had said on the phone for Elyette to look as if he was being strangled.
“Should we still look for Chelsea, Sir?” Chad asked when he realized that things might not be as simple as they had thought.
“I want to calm down a little.” Elyette’s voice was low and hoarse, and completely void of its earlier strength.
“You promised Averie that you would severely punish Chelsea,” Chad reminded him, “She would be extremely upset if you go back on your word.
She just gave birth, so she could easily fall into postpartum depression.
It’s better not to trigger her.”
Of course, Elyette was aware of what Chad was saying.
However, Charlie now had something on him.
If he touched Chelsea, Charlie would take him down with her.
He was pondering if he was able to handle the consequences of his past scandal going public.
If he were by himself, then he would not care about how the world judged him.
However, he now had Averie and three beautiful children.
Besides, Hayden and Layla were still in school.
They might not call him “Dad”, but he had a feeling that they already knew that he was their biological father…
That evening, the black Rolls-Roice slowly pulled into the front yard of the Starry River Villa.
When Averie saw Elyette return, she immediately became anxious.
He had left that morning saying he was going to find Chelsea and make her pay a painful price, but she did not know if things were already settled or not.
The car came to a halt, and Elyette’s tall silhouette appeared in her line of vision.
Under the streetlights, the expression of his face was unclear, and she could not read his emotions.
When he finally arrived in front of her, he held her hand and whispered in her ear, “Let’s talk in private, Averie.”
Averie looked sharply at Elyette, then asked, “You couldn’t bring yourself to deal with Chelsea, right?
If you can’t do it, then I’ll go get my revenge myself!
As loathing seeped out of Averie’s eyes, she could not hold her voice back Mike and the two children simultaneously turned to look in their direction. Elyette immediately pulled Averie toward her bedroom.
“What happened?
Why are they fighting again?” Mike mumbled under his breath as he pulled out his phone and texted Chad.
Chad: (Watch the kids.
Don’t care about anything else.
Mike: (No wonder you didn’t want to come over tonight.
Did your boss decide to let Chelsea Tierney go?”]
Chad: (Watch your mouth.
He has his reasons no matter what he decides to do.)
Mike: (D*mn it!
I shouldn’t have showed you the evidence!]
Chad: (Chelsea isn’t in the country right now.
How do you expect us to find her?
Find her yourself since you’re so amazing.)
Mike: (I see.
If that’s the case, then Averie won’t be mad.]
In the bedroom on the first floor, Elyette shut the door, then gazed deeply at Averie and said, “.
Have you met someone with a mental illness, Averie?” His words made Averie’s brows furrow tightly.
“Are you trying to say that Chelsea has a mental illness?” “No, I’m just asking if you’ve met someone like that.” Elyette saw that she had calmed down, so he led her to sit on the bed.
Averie pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, “I have, but why are you asking me about that?” “If someone had a mental illness, commited murder, and escaped legal persecution, would you hate them?” Elyette stood next to Averie.
His deep set eyes were fixed on her, so he did not miss even the tiniest of emotion.
“It depends on who they murdered.
I won’t hate them if it was a bad person.
If they killed…” “What if they killed their own family?” Elyette asked, cutting her off.
Averie felt breathless.
She raised her brows and said, “That’s a weird question, Elyette.
If this person already has a mental illness, then every one of their actions is out of their control.
What do you expect me to say, asking me to judge a sick person from the point of view of a normal person?
I don’t know how to answer that, because I’ve never come across something like that.” “‘I see.” Her answer was unexpected.
His eyes darkened as he said, “Sick or not, killing one’s family is unforgivable.” “What are you trying to say?” Averie glared at him.
“I just want to know what happened when you went to look for Chelsea today.” “Her brother said she’s suffering from a mental illness.” Elyette’s fists clenched slightly.
He did not have to courage to take the risk.
Averie’s reaction gave him no choice but to endure Charlie’s threat.
If she knew that he was once sick, would she be afraid?
Would she take the kids and leave him behind?” “Just because her brother said she’s got a mental illness, does that mean it’s true?
Do you really trust them that much?
You’re just accepting it because you don’t want to go against Chelsea, right?
!” Averie was emotional and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Every time I start to believe you, you always let me down!
I’ve already lost count of the number of times this has happened!” She had had enough of this emotional torture.
If she stopped trusting him, then she would no longer depend on him or have any expectations.
That way, she would no longer be disappointed!
Elyette’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat as seething grief and sorrow flashed across his eyes.
“Other than this, I will give you anything you want, Averie.” “I don’t care about anything else but this!” Averie tared at him with resolute eyes and said adamantly, “What do you think you can give me, Elyette Foster?
