When the lift was on the ground floor, the doors opened slowly with a ding.
Outside the lift stood Elyette in black and Chelsea in a red dress.
When Chelsea saw Averie, she instantly flared up. “Averie, what right do you have to hit my cousin!”
Averie said lazily, ‘The next person I’ll hit is you.”
Chelsea was furious, “You…” Elyette heard their conversation. His expressions instantly darkened.
Averie walked out of the lift. She did not plan to deal with them. Her intention there that day was to teach Nora a lesson. Now that she has relieved herself of anger, she was feeling much better.
Just when she walked past Elyette, he suddenly grabbed her arm without any warning.
“What are you doing?” Averie looked at him.
Elyette pulled her along and headed out of the office.
Chelsea wanted to follow but Chad stopped her. “Chelsea, go and see Nora. She has been crying nonstop.”
Chelsea gritted her teeth. “Where is she?”
“I saw that her nose was a little crooked, so I got the guards to send her to the hospital,” Chad said, “Go to the hospital and look for her! She’s extremely upset. I’m afraid she might not think things through.”
Chad had already put it that way, Chelsea could only head to the hospital to visited Nora.
Elyette pulled Averie to the entrance of the parking lot of the office. At that moment, there was no one else in the parking lot other than them.
When Chelsea drove off, her gaze at Averie was filled with malicious9e intent.
Why would she suddenly come to hit Nora? Did Averie find out about something?
After Chelsea drove off, Averie lowered her gaze and saw her reddened right hand.
When she was slapping Nora, she did not hold back, so her hand was numb at that moment.
“Averie, don’t you think you’re acting recklessly?” Elyette’s back was facing the sun. His face was glum, and his tone was cold. “Look at your tummy. How could you dare to fight with others?”
Averie was not afraid of him. “If I don’t do it, I will be very angry. Anger is bad for the child.”
Averie has thought about it beforehand. In the end, she still decided to come to teach Nora a lesson. Other than taking her anger out on Nora, it was also a warning to Nora. If Nora still dared to do evil things, the next time would be not only a few slaps!
“Are you sure it’s her?” From how well Elyette understood Averie, if Averie were not sure about the outcome of things, she would never have lost her temper so badly.
His words made Averie’s suppressed anger rise again. “If it’s not her? Could it be me?”
Elyette took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Averie was late in her pregnancy term. She was a special case. He could not make her angry.
“Averie, what I meant just now was that if you have the evidence that it was Nora who did it, please give me them. I will deal with this strictly.”
“If I have the evidence, why would I hand it over to you? Do you think if I have the evidence, I wouldn’t be able to deal with it myself?” Averie saw that Elyette did not get angry, so she calmed down a lot too.
For the sake of her child, she had to control herself.
Averie’s answer was like a punch to Elyette. It made Elyette in a daze.
Did that mean she went to his office that day just to beat someone up?
“Why are you looking at me that way? Are you thinking about what to do with me?” Averie grabbed his arm and intentionally provoked him. “What do you plan to do?”
“What can I do?” Elyette retracted his arm. He looked at her coldly. His tone was filled with helplessness. “Averie, even if today the person that you beat up was not Nora, but me. What do you think I could do to you?”
“When you got mad in the past, you never cared about me. In the end, you only care about your child.” Averie sneered and mocked him. “I thought you didn’t like children! Who would have thought it was all a show! What happened to that gusto you had before? Elyette, I look down on you!”
Elyette’s body tightened. He clenched his fists tightly. A wave of coldness was emitted from him.
He was indeed reckless in the past. When he got mad, he was not good at managing his emotions.
However, at that moment, Averie’s tummy was so huge. It was so huge he could not ignore it. Even if the child in her tummy was not his, he would not do anything to her either!
Her misunderstandings against him might not be cleared off in this life.
“Averie, it’s quite windy today. Go back and rest!” Elyette said and strode away.
Averie was stunned, remaining in the same spot.
She never expected that Elyette would do anything. He did not even retort. She underestimated his restraint.
The bodyguard walked over to her and said, “Miss Tate, let’s get you home. It is quite windy today. Don’t catch a cold.”
Averie did not feel that it was windy. At that moment, there was a raging fire burning in her, burning brightly.
Elyette entered the office and Chad immediately followed suit. He reported the incident that happened that morning at the PR department to Elyette in detail.
“I asked the staff of the PR department. They said that Averie not only thinks that the woman in the video was Nora pretending to be her, but Nora was also the person that gouged Zoe’s eyes out.”
When Chad said that he was frightened because Nora seemed gentle and obedient. Her voice was coquettish. He could not see how she could be so cruel.
Elyette silently turned on his computer.
“However, Averie doesn’t have the evidence. If she had, she would not have been so impulsive, “Chad continued,
“Mr. Foster, why don’t you ignore this matter. Just wait for the child to be born in case you have any conflicts with her again.”
Elyette opened his email and said, “Get Nora to resign!”
Chad replied, “What? Why? Before having any evidence that she was the one who did those dirty things, she is currently a victim. Not only did we not care for her, but we also forced her to resign, that’s not very nice, right?”
Elyette said, “Just tell Chelsea that.”
“Oh, okay. When Chelsea returns from the hospital, I’ll let her know.” Chad pondered for a while before asking, “If
Chelsea were to ask why, what should I tell her?”
Elyette said, “I can’t accept a woman who looks too much like Averie being by my side. No inatter whether Nora naturally looked like her or did it later. I would rather not have Averie than a substitute.”
“Okay, I’ll go and do it right now.”
When Averie returned home, Hayden immediately went up to her.
“Mommy, Uncle Eric came and took Layla away.”
Averie was stunned. “Layla needs to go to school today. Did Eric say why he was taking Layla away?”
“Live streaming.”
Averie opened her phone and saw Eric’s message.
(There’s a live stream this afternoon. After the session, I will immediately send Layla back.]
Averie immediately replied, (Didn’t you promise not to interfere with her education?]
Eric wrote, (I have already asked for a leave from her teacher. School just started. The classes are not that important. I can teach her on the road. It will not affect her studies.)
Averie was stunned. What the hell was this? Doing it first then asking for forgiveness?
