An hour later, the drunk Henry was brought back to his room by his wife.
Elyette has drunk quite a bit too. His handsome face had a shade of red.
“Elyette.” Zoe chased after him to the front yard. “I have really loved you previously. Even if you’re the unattainable President of the Sterling Group, I still love you! My love for you is definitely not less than Chelsea’s or Averie’s love for you, yet why are you so cruel to me?”
“That’s because you’re stupid.” Elyette was drunk, so he did not mince his words. “I gave you three hundred million dollars. You could have done something with it, yet you chose to mix with Cole. That proves that you two are birds of the same feather.”
His words brutally hurt Zoe!
The 300 million dollars was long taken away by Averie!
If Zoe still had the 300 million dollars, why did she have to compromise to get Cole to be with her by using the child in her?
Cole was the man with the best conditions that she could find at that moment.
The bodyguard helped Elyette into the car. Soon, the Rolls-Roice disappeared into the dark night.
Zoe raised her hand to wipe her tears away.
Not far away behind her, Cole had both hands in his pocket. He said coldly, “Zoe, look at yourself! You embarrass me! My uncle has long abandoned you, why do you make yourself look like a sad dog! The man that you need to please now is me!”
Upon hearing his mocks, Zoe turned around. “Cole, when I had money, you wouldn’t dare talk to me like that!”
“You don’t have any money anymore! You won’t be able to earn that much money in the future too! You should accept the reality and just bear me children. All you need to do is take good care of my parents. I won’t treat you badly.” Cole looked at her like he was doing charity. “You’re not getting any younger soon, stop having unrealistic dreams. I’m willing to marry you and that should be your honor!”
Zoe broke down and cried. After her falling out with Wanda, Wanda completely abandoned her and her father.
Zoe’s father was heartbroken and returned to Bridgedale. Zoe was not willing to return to Bridgedale just like that. Coincidentally , she felt uncomfortable and found out that she was pregnant, so she used that to tie Cole down.
Perhaps Cole was right. Her life would just be like that for the rest of her life!
At the Starry River Villa, after Averie showered, she started packing for Hayden’s summer camp.
Layla was following beside her, busy as a bee.
“Layla, do you want to join a summer camp like Hayden?” Averie smiled and asked.
Layla shook her head without thinking. “Mommy, didn’t Uncle Eric tell you that he is taking me out during the summer holidays?”
Averie was stunned. “Did he say that to you?”
“Yes! He asked if I wanted to be on an entertainment program with him. He said we could have fun while earning money…”
“Layla, this is huge! Why did you only tell me now?” Averie was stunned, “Are you sure you want to be on a program? Will you be afraid?”
“If I’m with Uncle Eric, I won’t be afraid. Mommy! Let me go play, please!” Layla blinked her huge innocent eyes. “I told Hayden about this. He said I should go if I wanted to, if not I would surely disturb you at home, Mommy.”
“So, I’m the last to know about this?” Averie had a look of disbelief. She paused for a while and said sternly, “I don’t agree…” Layla immediately pecked a kiss on Averie’s cheek. “Mommy, just let me go! I want to experience earning money!”
Averie was speechless.
A day later, Averie brought Hayden along on a flight to Bridgedale. Layla, on the other hand, followed Eric to a city to film their entertainment program.
When Elyette knew about these two matters, his expression turned extremely cold!
It was one thing for Averie not to report to him for leaving the country. Who allowed her to let Layla enter the entertainment industry?
Did Averie really think that he did not know that Layla was his daughter? She was forcing him to expose this thin facade!
Chad could guess why Elyette was angry. He immediately explained, “Averie did not want Lavla to go into entertainment. It was Layla who pleaded and insisted on trying it out. You know it too. Layla is so adorable. Few could truly refuse her.”
“Layla might be immature, but is Averie? Averie is her mother. She should guide her child, not spoil her!” Elyette said sternly.
Chad said, “If Layla were to come and plead with you, can you do it without being unbiased?”
Elyette’s expressions darkened. “Let’s not talk about whether I can do it or not. I realized that your loyalties are starting to lie somewhere else!”
Chad immediately stated his stance. “Definitely not. I’m only putting myself in Averie’s shoes. If Layla were to come and plead with me, I would definitely give in to her. After all, she is so adorable. I have never seen a cuter girl than her.”
Chad’s ass-kissing instantly wiped away Elyette’s anger.
Elyette knew that Layla was adorable. After all, Layla looked like Averie. Averie has often made him angry, but he has never once truly taken any action against her. If Averie shrunk a few times smaller, becoming like Layla, he would only become even more soft-hearted.
“It must be that baby face, Eric, that instigated this!” Elyette said with furrowed brows, “If he did not look for Layla, Layla wouldn’t have done this.”
Chad nodded. “Yes, this move of Eric is too manipulative! He didn’t discuss it with Averie because he knew that Averie wouldn’t agree to it. After all, Averie is not short of cash. She would definitely not let Layla go into the entertainment industry to sell herself. Eric directly persuaded Layla instead, catching Averie off guard!”
Elyette clenched his fists tightly. His gaze darkened.
Chad was afraid that Elyette would do anything rash, he reminded Elyette, “Mr. Foster, you were forced to say that you would not target Eric in the future only a few days ago, so…don’t do anything that would embarrass yourself anymore.”
Perhaps Eric did cross a line by getting Layla into the entertainment industry, but Chad felt that Eric would definitely take good care of Layla.
Elyette picked up his cup of water and took a gulp, forcing himself to suppress his anger.
“Averie went to Bridgedale to send Hayden over. According to her, she would be back in two days,” Chad continued, “Averie was afraid that Hayden would not be able to fit in summer camp, so she went with him.”
Elyette lifted his gaze. “Did she take her bodyguard along?”
“Yes, she did,” Chad said, “Averie is familiar with Bridgedale. She has a lot of friends there too. I don’t think there should be much of a problem.”
Elyette said, “Have you forgotten about the kidnap previously?”
Chad asked embarrassedly, “Then, do you want to head over there?”
“Didn’t you say that she would be back in two days?” Elyette lowered his gaze. It was not that he was not worried for her. It was just that they just fought. If he were to chase after her to Bridgedale, it felt embarrassing to him.
“Hmm. If you don’t go to Bridgedale, you could go to Konad City to…have a look. Layla’s entertainment program is filming at Konad City.” Chad paid utmost attention to Elyette’s ego.
Elyette considered for a while but he did not immediately decide. At Bridgedale, after Averie and Hayden landed , Hayden was picked up by the summer camp’s bus.
The summer camp’s activities were done in seclusion. Averie could not follow along. She could only wait for the teacher’s comments that night or the day after.
”
“Miss Tate, let me send you home to rest,” The bodyguard said to Averie.
Averie had slept for a few hours on the plane, she was not sleepy at the moment.
