Speak of the devil.
Nora entered the PR department with sky-high heels and an LV bag. Seeing a crowd surrounding the entrance, she walked over.
The moment she saw Averie, her nosy expressions immediately stopped.
Perhaps because Chelsea was not there yet, a sense of crisis rose in her.
What if Averie was there looking for trouble? She was all alone. She was not a match forge Averie!
“Miss Tate, Nora is here!” Someone said.
Averie turned around to look.
When she saw Nora, her eyes were filled with iciness and disgust.
“Averie, were you looking for me?” Nora forced a smile and asked, “You’re here early. Is there something important?”
“It’s nothing important,” Averie said flatly, “I’m just used to being up early, so for you, my arrival might be a little early.”
Seeing how there was no threat in her tone, Nora instantly lowered her guard, “Oh, if it’s nothing important, then we can talk here.”
Averie looked at the face that looked like her. She was getting angrier.
This woman used her face to do disgusting and evil things!
Averie did not bother to say another word. She raised her hand and slapped Nora brutally on the face!
Everyone was stunned!
Logically speaking, when things like this happen, someone would have stood up to pacify the situation, but no one did.
Everyone only stood there silently, watching things unfold.
Nora has done her face up to look like Averie, this was a cold, hard fact. Everyone could see for themselves.
Although they said nothing in public, in private, word has been spread.
No matter who it was in Averie’s shoes, they would be uncomfortable about it.
Averie had the child in her as her support. Her coming to look for Nora for trouble was only a matter of time.
Nora clutched her face. She was in so much pain tears fell. “You hit me! How dare you hit me! What right do you have to hit me!”
Averie looked at her teary and pitiful face. Thinking about the things that she had done she was even angrier!
“Hold her down!” Averie instructed the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately went forward and held both of
Nora’s hands.
Nora tried to struggle, but she could not break free! She was so scared she yelled for help!
Before someone could come to her rescue, Averie slapped her once more on the face.
This time, she was slapped so badly she was in a daze!
“When you gouged Zoe’s eyes out, Zoe must have been yelling even worse than you right now, ” Averie said with a sneer, “I have only slapped you twice, yet you can’t take it already?”
Nora was stunned. “What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about?”
Slap!
Averie slapped her once more!
“Do you think that I’m easily bullied, so you can be so brazen?” Averie looked at her swollen face, she was merciless.
“Doing up your face to look like me, mimicking my voice, creating scandals for me. Are you trying to get Elyette to dump me or are you trying to make me have miscarriage from anger?” Half of Nora’s face was in so much pain it was numb. Her ears were buzzing too.
Nora did not dare to talk back. Averie has got nuts! She was scared to death!
“You underestimate me.” Averie pinched Nora’s painful yet undignified face. She enunciated,” I have never relied on a man to live! Even if the skies fell on me, I will give birth to my child successfully. Your schemes might work once or twice. Do you think it will work the third time?
When Chad rushed over, Nora’s face had already been swollen.
When Nora saw Chad, she instantly wailed, “Chad! Help! Averie has gone mad! She hit me! She’s going to beat me to death! Woo, woo, woo!”
Chad immediately walked over to her and pushed Averie’s bodyguard away.
“Averie, what are you doing? We’re at the office. You shouldn’t come here making a scene,” Chad helped Nora up and said sternly.
Averie had a cold and calm look. “I’ll teach her a lesson wherever I want to. If you’re not happy about it, get your boss to talk to me.”
Chad was speechless. What would happen if he got Elyette to talk to her? In the end, they would still let her be.
“Chad, quickly call Chelsea. If Chelsea knows that I’ve been bullied, she will help me.” Nora held on tightly to Chad’s arms. She did not dare let go.
Chad looked at her. He pitied her, but his senses told him to get a grip.
Averie was not an impulsive person. There must be a reason she was so angry that day.
“Nora, I’ll get the guard to send you to the hospital,” Chad said, “I think your nose is crooked.
Nora yelped and covered her face.
Once Chad handed Nora over to the guards, he led Averie out of the PR department. This incident caused too much of a ruckus. He could not control what the staff would talk about in private.
If Averie was not Averie, if she was someone else, no one would be able to simply enter Sterling Group’s offices, let alone beat up a staff member.
Every floor of the office has guards.
When Averie was teaching Nora a lesson, none of the guards dared to stop her.
Beating Nora up was a small matter. If anything were to happen to the child in Averie, who was going to bear the responsibility?
Averie saw that Chad pressed the button on the top floor. She said, “Are you going to bring me to your boss’s office?”
Chad’s attitude softened much more than before. “I’m taking you to have some water.”
“I’m not thirsty.” Averie pressed the button for the ground floor. “If your boss asked, just say that I lost my temper, so I wanted to teach her a lesson. After all, I don’t have concrete evidence that she is mimicking me, so I could only do as I please.”
Chad was unable to restrain a smile. “Don’t be mad. Whether she impersonated you to do those things or not, don’t let others take advantage of you in the future.”
“It’s easy for you to say. If it were you, will you be mad?” Averie retorted, “I don’t need any reputation, but my children do. Now that school has started. If the other kids in school were to say things about me to my children, can
I hold back?”
The smile on Chad’s face disappeared. “I’ll tell Mr. Foster about your difficulties.”
“What is there to tell him about? I fought with him yesterday, don’t you know?”
Chad was speechless. He indeed did not know about it.
“I’m not going to the top floor.” Averie saw that the lift has stopped at the top floor.
“Okay, then I’ll send you down.” Chad closed the doors and accompanied her down.
