As if she was shocked by an electric current, Averie immediately sobered up.
“What is this woman doing in my room?!” thought Averie.
She instantly sat up in bed and stared in shock at Elyette.
Elyette had a cigarette in one ,while his other arm was wrapped around the woman.
The pair stood by the bed and gazed at Averie as if she was a monkey in the zoo.
“Didn’t you say you were leaving today, Averie? Hurry up, pack your bags and go!” Elyette said as he exhaled a faint ring of smoke.
“What the hell are you saying, Elyette Foster?!”
Averie’s hands clenched tightly around the covers as she reprimanded him at the top of her lungs.
“You and this woman…Didn’t you say you weren’t close? Why are you holding her?! Didn’t you say you wanted us to get married? Am I remembering wrongly, or did you lie to me again?!”
The intense argument could clearly be heard from outside the room.
Soon after, Averie burst out of the room with her suitcase.
With tears in her eyes, she dragged her suitcase and hurried toward the elevators.
“Wait for me, Miss Tate!”
Elyette’s bodyguard ran after her.
Averie stood still in front of the elevator doors, then glared at the bodyguard with reddened eyes.
“Why are you following me?! Did your boss tell you to come and humiliate me?!”
In the room just moments ago, Elyette had told her to her face that he would not marry her, and that all the sweet talk from the night before was just a ruse to get her in bed. The humiliation she had suffered in her life was nothing compared to the humiliation Elyette had put her through on this day.
She almost wanted to slap herself in the face!
“Mir.Foster asked me to take you to the airport.”
Once the elevator doors opened, the bodyguard entered with Averie.
“I don’t need you to take me there!”
“What are you raising your voice at me for?” snapped the bodyguard.
“I’m just following my boss’s orders and doing my job!”
As Averie looked at the dark expression on the bodyguard’s face, she swallowed the words she wanted to say before they could escape her lips.
This entire thing was strange and absurd.She had a hunch that something was not right.
“Did he say anything else when he told you to take me to the airport?” she asked softly.
“First, wipe those tears away.Your crying is frustrating me.”
Averie lifted her hand to wipe the tears off her face.
“Is he being threatened?”
“I don’t know.
He just told me to take you to the airport as soon as possible.”
Averie remained silent.
“From what I know about my boss, I’m guessing this place is most likely not safe anymore.He fought with you to protect you and get you to leave.”
The bodyguard had thought that saying this would move Averie to stay and stand by Elyette’s side.
In the eyes of the bodyguard, Averie was a loving, righteous woman who was not afraid of death.
Otherwise, Elyette would not love her this much.
However, Averie simply stayed silent, lost in her thoughts.
“Hey, what are you thinking about?”
The bodyguard nudged her with his elbow.
“Did you hear what I just told you? Show some kind of reaction, won’t you?!”
Averie took a deep breath, then said, “Should I continue to cry when I step out of the elevator?”
The bodyguard was taken aback.
Averie turned to look at him and asked him sincerely, “What if they don’t let me leave? The only way to avoid the bad guys’ suspicion is to put on a pitiful display of heartbreak.”
The bodyguard was speechless.
Of all the ups and downs that he had been through with Elyette through the years, he had never come across a professional actress like Averie Tate! It was as if the woman who was crying her heart out just moments ago was a completely different person not the real her.
“Now, she is calmly thinking of an escape plan, and not about how much danger Elyette is in.How heartless can she be?!” thought the bodyguard.
The bodyguard felt like he had misjudged Averie, and he felt bad for his boss! “why would Elyette give his everything to such a cold-blooded and cruel woman? “Her behavior proved that you truly can’t judge a person’s character until trouble came knocking,”
surmised the bodyguard in his head.
A staff member from the villa drove Averie and the bodyguard to the bottom of the mountain and then drove the car back up to the villa.
Averie immediately pulled out her phone and called the police.
The bodyguard watched as she resolutely called the police, then watched her call Chad to come up with a way to send people over to Mount Sierra and rescue Elyette.
The bodyguard instantly understood that Averie was not in a rush to escape because she was heartless, but so that she could rescue Elyette.
If she had stayed up on the mountain, not only would she be dragging Elyette behind, but there was also no way for her to help him.
“What do we do next?” asked the bodyguard as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“Maybe you should head back up the mountain?”
Averie thought about the situation seriously for a moment, then said, “Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for him to be up there alone.You’d be able to protect him if you were there with him.”
“Do you expect me to walk up the mountain on foot?”
Averie glanced around her surroundings.
The area was secluded and there was no sign of a vehicle.
“What does Roger Goldstein have against Elyette? Is there some kind of grudge between them? If so, then why did Elyette come here?”
Averie found the entire thing slightly strange.
“They had some drinks together the last time they met.” The bodyguard’s expression was serious.
”That’s the world of the wealthy for you.They’re friends one day, and possibly arch – nemeses the next.It’s all about profit, not relationships.” Averie gazed up at the mountain worriedly.
She suddenly recalled how Elyette had received a text message in the middle of the night.
“Could this have something to do with that message?” she wondered.
Back up on the mountain, Elyette was led to Roger Goldstein’s room by Roger’s niece.Roger narrowed his sly eyes as he stared at Elyette.
“I underestimated you, Elyette!” he exclaimed.
‘Who did you hear the news from?”
