After a while, Averie came out of the room and prepared to head out.
Mrs. Cooper stopped her at once after realizing that she did not eat any breakfast. “Are you feeling better today, Averie? Where are you going in such a hurry? Have some breakfast before you do!” Mrs. Cooper would not have been that worried if Averie was not having that time of the month. “I have no appetite,” Averie said anxiously. “Tammy disappeared to God knows where and I have to find her.”
“What happened? Did she get into an argument with Jun?” Mrs. Cooper frowned. d3″No.”
“You don’t look so good, Averie. You should have something to eat or else I’m the one who’s going to be worried if you leave like this.” Mrs. Cooper took her arm. “Tammy isn’t a child anymore. She’s probably taking a walk to calm herself down because she’s in a bad mood. Nothing’s going to happen.” Averie corrected her. “Tammy’s not in a bad mood. Have you heard about post-traumatic stress disorder? It’s a mental illness that often escapes attention. It might be harmless for a normal person to be in a bad mood, but for Tammy, it could put her life in danger.”
Mrs. Cooper realized that she had said misspoke and immediately apologized. “Okay, Averie. I’ll go get some food and you can eat in the car.”
Trust Capital’s headquarters was in Rosacus City, which was just next to Avonsville.
Chelsea had practically remained in Rosacus City after taking over Trust Capital. One of the reasons was because a clean-up of the headquarters’ personnel was required, and she had not completely started her work yet. The other reason was her disfigurement-she did not want to appear in public too much.
On that day, Chelsea donated to several local charities in the name of Trust Capital. The donation campaign was held in a five-star hotel in the city.
Countless reporters and cameramen had taken their respective places at the venue.
Chelsea walked into view with bodyguards and executives surrounding her. She was clad in a black uniform that streamlined her figure and emphasized her capability, and a blue mask was worn to cover her disfigured face.
As long as she did not show her disfigured face, she could still pretend that she was a normal person!
When she took her seat on the stage, a hotel attendant came over to her with a glass of water. Chelsea looked up at the person and realized that she knew the person!
Chelsea was just about to call her bodyguard when a sharp dagger sliced across her fair, slender neck! Elsewhere, in Avonsville , Averie went to the psychiatrist that she had introduced to Tammy
The psychiatrist confirmed that Tammy never contacted him.
Averie then went to the cafes that she used to go to with Tammy…
After two hours of searching, Tammy was still nowhere to be found.
She called Tammy again but her phone was still switched off. The messages she sent had also elicited no reply. Where could Tammy have gone? Where else could she be? Averie sat in the car and stared blankly ahead. She was at a loss as to which direction she should drive toward.
Just as she was about to lose hope, she received a call on her cell phone! Her heart was beating anxiously! It was a call from Elyette. She grabbed her phone and immediately answered it. “Go home, Averie. We found Tammy’s whereabouts.”
Her tensed-up heart relaxed immediately and she asked nervously. “Is she alright? Where did you find her?”
“She’s in Rosacus City. I’m going there now with Jun to pick her up,” Elyette said calmly.
He did not want to scare Averie, but he knew that he could not hide it from her either.
Chelsea’s hometown was in Rosacus City and Trust Capital’s headquarters was there as well. Furthermore, Tammy had no relatives or friends in Rosacus City, which meant that there was only one reason why she went there-to finded Chelsea!
Averie felt that it was risky enough if Tammy had found Chelsea in Avonsville. After all, Chelsea was a sly and cunning person who had plenty of tricks up her sleeve. Someone like Tammy would never be a match for her.
Tammy’s decision to run all the way to Chelsea’s turf and cause trouble there was no different from digging her own grave!
“How is she, Elyette?! Tell me!” she yelled hysterically. She could sense that something had happened to Tammy because there would not have been any reason for Elyette to personally take a trip to Rosacus City. “She’s fine.” Elyette frowned as he tried comforting her. “We’ll bring her back safely. You can go back home and wait for our updates.” She breathed a sigh of relief. “You’d better not l to me!”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Averie was relieved after receiving Elyette’s answer and droved3 home. When she reached, Mrs. Cooper immediately served up a tableful of food and urged her to eat.
“I’m pretty sure you didn’t eat the breakfast I packed for you this morning,” Mrs. Cooper said. “You must be hungry right now.” “Yeah, I am a little hungry.” She sat down at the dining table and looked at the sumptuous lunch. Her appetite had returned slightly. “By the way, Mike called and said he was coming back for lunch, but you don’t need to wait for him. Go ahead and start eating.” Mrs. Cooper handed her the utensils. “Thanks.”
After eating her fill, she went to the living room and played with Robert. When Mike came back and saw her, he immediately blurted out, “Tammy is one brave girl! Can you believe she went to assassinate Chelsea? She should’ve just paid someone to do it rather than do it herself. Her resentment must’ve clouded her judgment to the point where she doesn’t even care about her own life!”
The calm on Averie’s face disappeared instantly. “Did you just say that Tammy went to assassinate Chelsea?” “Yeah! Didn’t you know?” Mike asked in surprise. “Tammy put a knife on Chelsea’s neck and took off Chelsea’s mask to embarrass her in public.
But unfortunately, Chelsea’s bodyguards captured Tammy. The whole process was filmed by countless media personnel at the scene, and the complete video is already available online!
Tammy is now being held inside a police station in Rosacus City. Elyette and Jun have gone there to get her out!”
Averie rushed out the door almost immediately.
Mike’s reflexes were quick and he grabbed her in the nick of time!
“Averie! Elyette and Jun have already picked her up. She’s no longer in danger!” Mike looked at her cold, resentful eyes and took a deep breath. “Don’t be impulsive like her! She’s already an adult now, not a child! Do you think she did the right thing when she went recklessly to Rosacus City all by herself?”
Averie yanked his arm away. “Her actions are wrong, but what you said earlier was wrong too. Don’t tell a person to be kind if you’ve never experienced what they went through. You’ve never gone through her pain, so you have no right to judge her.” Her words left Mike speechless and there was no way for him to resist.
“I’ll be frank with you. Elyette was the one who told me to come back and keep watch over you. He said he’d bring Tammy back unharmed.” Mike dragged Averie onto the sofa and sat her down, “It takes two hours to go to Rosacus City and another two to come back. That makes four hours. You’re feeling unwell, right?
It’d be best for you not to go through all that.” Averie’s eyes turned red. She pursed her red lips and kept quiet. Mike was helpless when he saw her like that. “Come on, don’t do that!
If you really want to go, I’ll drive you there. It’s not a big deal. But I must say that Tammy “No! Don’t talk about her!” Averie interrupted. “Tammy wouldn’t have chosen to do something stupid if she had other ways to relieve the pain in her heart.” Mike raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. “I wasn’t going to accuse her of anything. I was just going to tell you to persuade her when she comes back. She can’t continue down this road. Aside from the danger she’ll bring to herself, Jun probably won’t be patient enough to tolerate her all the time.”
Averie shot him a cold look.
