When he returned to the office, he switched on his computer. Chelsea knocked on the door and entered.
“Elyette, I heard that you went for a checkup with Averie. How’s everything?” When Chelsea finished talking, she saw the ultrasound scan on the desk.
Chelsea picked the ultrasound scan up. She saw the child looking like Elyette and a wave of detest rose from the bottom of her heart.
“This little buddy looks like you! It’s a boy, right?” Chelsea asked with a smile.
Elyette responded and kept the ultrasound scan. “Why are you here?”
“It’s my cousin’s first day at the office today, I thought I’d let you know.” Chelsea smiled gently. “Elyette. Congratulations! You’re going to be a father! This kid looks so much like you. I’m sure he’ll be as amazing as you are.”
Elyette’s expressions subconsciously relaxed. At that moment, that child was his only hope.
Chelsea came out of his office and remained smiling all the way back to her office.
The moment she entered her office, her expression immediately changed! She was furious!
Their child was fine! How could God be so cruel toof her!
Nora entered her office and saw the documents scattered on the floor. She immediately asked, “Chelsea, what happened?”
“Hehe, what happened? I regretted it!” Chelsea gritted her teeth. “Because he doesn’t like children, so I removed my womb so that he wouldn’t be so on guard with me! Look what has happened now! He has a son with Averie!”
Nora picked up the documents on the floor and placed them on the table. “Chelsea, you sacrificed too much for him, which is why he took you for granted.”
“I know! But if I don’t sacrifice, I don’t even have the chance to be near him! Look at you! You’ve done yourself up to look like Averie, but has he ever glanced at you? He has always been so cruel and elusive!”
“Chelsea, don’t get so worked up. We’re sisters. United, how are we not a match for Averie?” Nora had a condescending look. “As long as she has not given birth to the child, nothing counts!”
Chelsea took a deep breath. “I won’t let Averie give birth to that bastard of a child! I would have been able to bear children! Elyette cannot do this to me!”
In the afternoon, Elyette got his assistant to contact Eric.
Eric and his manager arrived at Sterling Group under the protection of a bodyguard.
“Averie asked me to return this to you.” Elyette returned Eric his black card.
Eric raised his eyebrows a little and accepted the card. “It’s you that wanted to return me the card, right? Averie accepted it previously.”
“Is that so? Why did you give her a credit card? Is this one of your tricks in wooing women?” Elyette’s gaze was sharp. His tone was even more so.
Eric said, “This is something between her and I. Mr. Foster, as her ex-husband, aren’t you a little too nosy?”
“Ex-husband? The child she is pregnant with right now is mine!”
“That doesn’t change the fact that you are just her ex-husband. Whether I gave her a credit card or if other men did that to her, she has the freedom to accept them. Even if she is pregnant with your child, she still could get married to other men. You have no right to interfere,” Eric said calmly.
Elyette’s eyes reddened, aggravated by Eric’s words!
“Are all young men like you so shameless nowadays? You want to be my child’s step-father? You must be sick of living!”
Eric said, “Mr. Foster. Age has not made you into a more cultured person. You are extremely rude.”
Elyette said, “F*ck off!”
After Eric left, Elyette took his phone and made a call. He wanted Eric to know what would happen if he coveted his women!
The next day, all of Eric’s works were taken off the internet. All brands started terminating their contracts with him.
Eric was the only celebrity who was boycotted without any scandal. No matter how famous he was, he could not beat the power of capitalism.
Averie did not notice the news on the internet. She only knew about this when his manager called her.
“I’ve already found out who is behind this! It is Elyette boycotting Eric! Miss Tate, I’m begging you! Please go and talk to Elyette!”
Averie was shocked! She could not believe it! How could Elyette do that! Why did he boycott Eric? Why! Eric’s manager recounted the incident painfully, “Elyette’s assistant contacted me yesterday, saying he wanted to meet Eric. So, I brought Eric over to Sterling Group. As for what they talked about when they met, I don’t know, but when Eric came out of Elyette’s office, he looked glum. They must have fought. I never thought that Eric would be boycotted…”
Averie said, “How is Eric right now?”
His manager replied, “He is still alright. After all, if he quit the entertainment industry, he could still return home and take over his family’s business, but I don’t want him to quit! He was born a celebrity! Miss Tate, you have to help Eric!”
Averie said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go look for Elyette right now.”
His manager sighed in relief. “Thank you!”
After the call, Averie went through her contacts and found Elyette’s. Elyette and Eric did not have any personal contact with each other. If they met, it must be because Elyette was returning the card back to Eric.
Throughout this process, there must be some conflict between them. In the end, this matter happened because of her.
Just when she was about to call Elyette, her office door had been pushed open.
Mike strode in. “Averie, Eric has been boycotted! I called Chad. He said that he had left with Elyette this morning on a business trip. They are not in Avonsville!”
Averie was stunned. Elyette did it on purpose. He must have! He was afraid that she would look for him, so he went on a business trip!
Averie pressed the dial with trembling hands.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service, please try again later.”
Not only was he on a business trip, but he also even shut his phone!
His intentions were clear. He wanted to boycott Eric! He was not willing to let her look for her to talk about this!
Averie was so furious her temples hurt.
“Averie, don’t get angry! It will affect the baby! He can’t be on a business trip forever,” Mike comforted her. “Let Eric treat these few days as a holiday.”
Averie found it unacceptable. “Where is he off to?”
Mike immediately tried to persuade her. “Are you going to look for him? Didn’t you say that the child isn’t growing well, and you have to rest properly? Calm down! Don’t be so impulsive!
Mike said and poured her a cup of water. Averie accepted the cup of water and drank it all. The rage in her heart was still burning violently.
Elyette bullying Eric meant that he was also bullying her! Did Elyette think that she would just obediently let him bully her?
“Mike, go and book a hotel. At the same time, invite all media. This evening at seven. I am going to announce an important matter.” Averie said to Mike with sparkling eyes.
Mike furrowed his brows. “Averie, what are you trying to do? Don’t tell me you’re going to announce to the media that you and Eric are together?”
Averie did not reply to his question. “Just do it.”
At six in the evening, the Tate Industries announced on their Tweeter. It said, (7 p.m., see you there!)
After the text, were the tagged accounts of the brands that dropped Eric from their endorsement.
At the same time, a live stream link was posted too.
The live stream had not started at that moment, so no one could see what was streaming at that moment, but from the tagged accounts on the Tweet, the live stream would most likely have something to do with Eric.
An hour later, the live stream began. The host that night was Averie’s secretary.
Averie’s secretary faced the camera and smiled. She said with an insuppressible excitement,” Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Tate Industries’ live stream! I’ll cut to the chase! Please give a hand and welcome our President, Miss Averie Tate!”
A deafening round of applause rang out.
