Elyette was threatened into having to marry a disfigured Chelsea and become a laughing stock. “When His Eyes open” He had spent the first half of his life in glory and never had to experience this type of humiliation
However, what did Averie ever do wrong? Averie got tired from all the crying and fell asleep. She did not dream that night and had a fairly good night’s sleep. When she woke up the next morning, she was in good spirits apart from her slightly puffy eyes.
Today was the day of Adrian White’s surgery.
Averie made her way to the hospital at ten in the morning.
“Are you alright, Doctor Tate?” Adrian’s father, Nathan White, asked as he gazed at her with shrewd eyes. “Your issues with Elyette Foster won’t affect the surgery, right?”
Averie did not expect Nathan to say such things.
Her relationship with Elyette had never completely been made public, but Nathan seemed to know quite a bit about it.
“Mr. White, I would be honest with you if I was not feeling well and not fit to perform surgery. Since I’m here, it means I’m fine,” Averie explained clearly as she stared at Nathan’s face.
For some reason, once again, looking at him in such close proximity made her feel a peculiar sense of familiarity.
“I’m sorry. I was not doubting you. I just don’t think Elyette Foster should treat you like this.” Nathan smiled softly.
“That’s between him and me, Mr. White,” Averie said in astonishment. “Do you perhaps know him well?”
Nathan shook his head with a grin and said, “How could I possibly know a bigshot like him? I’m just an ordinary businessman. I’m afraid my annual income isn’t even as much as how much he makes in a day!” His teasing came with a hint of mockery and made Averie feel extremely uneasy. She could not help but feel like his words carried a strange vendetta against Elyette. “You should go and check on Adrian, Doctor Tate! The doctor gave him a checkup and said he was fit for surgery,” Nathan said after holding back hisi8 emotions. Before Averie walked into the patient’s room, she glanced at the man and woman standing behind Nathan
The woman was Adrian’s sister whom she had met before. However, this was the first time she had seen the man standing next to her. “This is Adrian’s brother, Doctor Tate. He’s normally quite busy, so you haven’t met him before. Since today’s the day of Adrian’s big surgery, our whole family came to support him,” explained Nathan.
“I see. Is your wife not here today?” Averie could not help but ask. She typically did not care much about her patient’s family’s private matters, but Nathan made her uncomfortable and she had to ask. “We’re divorced.” “I’m sorry.” Averie’s curiosity came to an end. Once the conversation was over, she entered the patient’s room. After she looked through Adrian’s vitals and test results that day, she pulled out her phone and checked the time.
She was not sure how long the surgery would take. What she could confirm was that, by the time the surgery was over, Elyette and Chelsea’s wedding should already be nearing its end.
They had announced the news of their engagement a few days ago, and could not wait to hold the wedding It did not matter if Elyette wanted this wedding or not. Today, he was about to become someone else’s groom! Averie pursed her lips, then pressed down on her phone’s power button until the screen turned dark.
Back in Aryadelle, it was the day of Elyette Foster and Chelsea Tierney’s wedding.
Charlie was welcoming guests at the hotel’s entrance along with Chelsea’s mother.
Everything was going according to Charlie’s plan without a hitch.
The first reason Charlie wanted Elyette to marry Chelsea was to humiliate Elyette. The second reason was that he wanted the whole world to know that there was a marriage between the Tierneys and the Fosters, and that the Tierneys would have the Foster family’s support in the future.
As long as Charlie had his bargaining chip firmly in his grasp, nothing bad would happen.
Tammy entered the banquet hall and immediately spotted Jun in the crowd.
He was standing with Ben. They were chatting away happily in a relaxed manner.
Tammy picked up a glass of champagne and found a noticeable spot to sit down.
Very quickly, Ben saw her and informed Jun of her presence. Jun saw that she was sitting by herself, then walked in her direction.
Tammy felt uncomfortable when she saw him approaching her.
She wanted to talk to him, but she did not know what to say.
“Didn’t you get a new boyfriend? Why didn’t you bring him along?” Jun snickered as he stood still next to her.
Tammy did not expect him to speak so cruelly, so she retorted, “Aren’t you about to get married? Why don’t I see your fiance around?”
“Since you want to meet her, I’ll go get her to come and say hello,” Jun said, then walked toward a group of women who were dressed to the nines.
Tammy wased speechless. Jun actually brought his fiance along with him!
Ha! If she knew this would happen, she would have brought a date no matterie what.
Within the next minute, Jun led an elegant woman over to Tammy. “Hello, Tammy. I’m…”
Just as Jun’s fiance was about to introduce herself, Tammy slammed her glass on the table, grabbed her purse, and stormed off!
Jun did not expect Tammy to be such a sore loser!
