Elyette was practically saying that he was the cause behind her disfigurement.
After Chelsea realized what he meant, tears instantly began to stream down her cheeks. “I know! Someone already told me it was you, but you didn’t know that I was staying there at the time. You wanted to kill him, not me.”
“If I had a choice, I would want the both of you dead,” Elyette said cruelly. “Don’t tell me you think I have feelings for you?” Chelsea let out an embarrassed chuckle, but her tears did not cease.
“Stop crying,” Elyette said in a deep voice. “If you can’t carry out the promise you made to me on the phone, you should know what the consequences will be.”
Chelsea wiped her tears away and quickly composed herself. “I know. This is my last chance. If I don’t seize it, then I’ll kill myself even if you don’t.”
“Good.” “I’m not the one who wants to marry you, Elyette.” Chelsea thought about it, then decided to clear things up with Elyette. “Charlie wants to use me to humiliate you. I don’t want to get married, let alone have a wedding.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore,” Elyette said casually. Chelsea froze for a moment, then stared at his cold expression and asked, “About Averie Tate…
“Just do what you promised, Chelsea. You don’t need to bother with my personal matters.” “I can help you explain things to her!” Chelsea offered. “There’s no need for that!” Elyette snapped. “Don’t bother her!”
He knew very well how Averie was feeling at the moment.
She would get mad if anyone mentioned him in front of her now. She would be even more furious if Chelsea was the one to do it.
It was better not to bother her before everything was settled.
Once things were handled, he would go to her and admit his mistakes himself.
Two hours later, the news of Sterling Group’s president, Elyette Foster, spending a fortune to marry the daughter of Trust Capital, Chelsea Tierney, made headlines and went viral online.
The news was announced based on Charlie’s requests.
Not only did he want the entire world to know that Elyette was marrying Chelsea, but he also wanted it to be known that he was going to spend a fortune doing it.
The news article stated that Elyette would give Chelsea seven hundred and seventy-five million dollars as a token of his love.
The article also reported that not only did Elyette not leave Chelsea after she was disfigured from a fire, but he also wanted to throw her a granded wedding.
Of course, Chelsea would never see a penny of that money as it would be directly deposited into Charlie’s account. Charlie was using the wedding to justifiably rob Elyette in broad daylight and make him a laughingstock in the eyes of these public. This was because photos of Chelsea after her disfigurement were also included in the article.
The moment the news broke, it immediately started a heated discussion in Aryadelle.
[Elyette Foster and Chelsea Tierney? Is there a glitch in my memory? Why was I under the impression that Elyette Foster was dating Averie Tate?] (Why is Elyette Foster marrying Chelsea Tierney? She looks terrifying after she got disfigured!
I’m not looking down on her, but is Elyette Foster really not afraid of looking at her face?)
[It must be true love, right? Otherwise, I can’t understand why someone as rich as Elyette Foster would want to marry a disfigured woman!] [Did Elyette Foster get abducted??] (I just saw photos of Elyette Foster kissing Averie Tate a few days ago! Now he’s marrying Chelsea Tierney? I don’t know if he’s a dirtbag or a god!) (Could this be some kind of unsolved mystery?! No normal man would choose Chelsea Tierney, right? He even spent $775 million on her… If it were me, I wouldn’t even give her seven bucks! Ha!)
Over in Bridgedale, Averie’s fever finally subsided. She went into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into some clean clothes, then came out of the room.
“Is something wrong with Elyette Foster?! Is marrying Chelsea Tierney something to show off about? It’s even making headlines here in Bridgedale! What a f*cking joke!” Tammy roared angrily. “Is he worried that Averie won’t see it? How could he be so cruel?!” Mrs. Cooper noticed Averie walking over and immediately signaled Tammy with her eyes to ask her to stop talking.
When Tammy turned around and saw Averie, she instantly held back her raging emotions. “Do you feel better now, Averie?” Averie’s face was pale, but she nodded her head. She had heard everything that Tammy said just now.
“Don’t look at your phone for a few days, Averie.” Tammy could not help but remind her.” Elyette bought over the news in Bridgedale. It’s disgusting.”
Averie did not respond. Her fever had subsided, but she was starving after not eating all day. Besides, her throat was dry and she could barely make a sound.
“Have something to eat first, Averie. I’m going to the airport to pick up Mike. He’s about to arrive soon, so I’ll head there now,” Tammy said, then left the house. Mrs. Cooper brought out a bowl of soup and placed it on the table in front of Averie.
After finishing the soup, Averie recovered some of her energy. “Layla, Hayden…. Why are you staring at me like that?” Averie forced a smile. “I just caught a cold. I’ll be fine soon.”
“Were you crying in secret, Mommy?” Layla pouted when she saw her mother’s reddened eyes. “Don’t be sad. You still have me, Hayden, and Robert. We would never leave you.” “I know that. Which is why my mood is better now that I’ve recovered.” Averie reached out and gently stroked Layla’s hair. At that moment, Hayden walked over and, without saying a word, quietly hugged Averie. As Averie held a child in each arm, it was as if she could feel her body being filled with energy. “I wanted to give all of you a complete family, but I realized that there’s no such thing. Our lives are complete as long as we’re happy. Don’t worry about me. I’m happy as long as you’re by my side.”
“I’ll be good from now on, Mommy. I’ll listen to you and Hayden.” Layla took a huge emotional blow this time. What happened had left her young spirit traumatized.
“I’ll take care of Layla, Mommy. Do whatever you want to do from now on and don’t worry about us,” Hayden said maturedly. Averie was so moved that she took a deep breath and forced herself to hold back her tears. She would have no regrets in this life as long as she managed to raise her children well. Once Tammy picked up Mike from the airport, she gave him a once over and asked, “Are you wearing pajamas?” Mike opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, and fastened his seat belt. “I was in a rush.”
“You’re not wearing a jacket. Aren’t you cold?” Tammy turned up the heater in the car. “I’m about to lose my mind with anger thanks to Elyette Foster.” Mike was wearing at-shirt, a pair of casual trousers and a pair of house slippers.
He and Chad were living in their perfect little world at home when he received Mrs. Cooper’s call. When he went to confront Elyette, his bodyguard had thrown him out, then Chad had sent him straight to the airport. “How’s Averie? She must’ve cried her eyes out, right?” Mike frowned at the mention of Averie. “Pretty much! Her eyes are all red and swollen as if her soul left her body. She had a fever for a whole day. It just subsided.” Tammy drove the car onto the road, then said, “Elyette Foster is a joke.”
“Don’t even mention that piece of sh*t!” Mike hissed through gritted teeth. “Before Averie was with him, she and the kids were perfectly happy. They don’t need Elyette Foster at all! Being near him would just bring them bad luck!”
