“Who did Mother talk to?” Henry looked at Elyette’s reaction and realized something was off. He immediately walked over and looked at the phone. “Averie? Why did Mother talk to her?
They never keep in touch! I never heard Mother talk about Averie!”
Elyette’s fingers trembled. He used Rosalie’s phone and called Averie.
Averie was in her office at Tate Industries. She was in a glum mood. She had been sitting still for over an hour.
Rosalie had called her over an hour ago. She told Averie that she knew that Hayden is Elyette’s biological child!
Without waiting for Averie to say something, Rosalie read her the results of the paternity test.
Then, Rosalie mocked her!
She had commended Averie on her ability to hide the truth for this long, but she said that Averie would never be able to get anything past her. Rosalie was going to immediately tell Elyette the news. They wanted Hayden, but they did not want Averie! Rosalie had also said that if Averie was smart she would send Hayden to the Fosters, otherwise, they would take the boy by force!
She never expected Rosalie to get a paternity test done!
Averie was a sitting duck at the moment. If Elyette had known about this, she could not bear to imagine what the consequences would be. She was stumped. She did not know how to keep her children by her side.
Her phone on the table rang, pulling her back to reality. She pursed her lips and looked at her screen. She thought it would be Elyette, but it was not! It was his mother again!
Averie quickly picked up the phone and yelled hysterically, “What do you want! What the hell do you want again!”
Averie’s yells reached Elyette’s ears. Why was Averie so hysterical?
What happened between her and his mother?
“Averie.” Elyette swallowed and yelled her name.
Hearing his voice, Averie’s fingers suddenly tightened. Her fingernails dug into her palm, but she felt no pain!
Elyette had used his mother’s phone to call her. Mother and son met. Rosalie had to have told him everything
Averie was like a criminal who had committed a serious crime and was waiting for the final judgment
At the thought of how he was about to take Hayden away, her heart hurt so badly she could not breathe. She began to cry.
“Averie,” said Elyette. This time, he sounded cold and upset. “What happened between you and my mother?”
Elyette’s question made Averie furrow her brows.
What was he talking about? He was asking her about what happened between her and his mother?
That was strange! Why did he not just ask his mother?
Even stranger was the fact that Rosalie had not told him her findings? More than an hour had passed, why has she not told him yet?
Averie picked up her glass of water and took a sip. She forced herself to calm down.
“Why don’t you ask your mother this question?” As Averie said that she started to suspect something was going on.
Something must have happened which was why Rosalie had not told Elyette the truth.
“My mother is dead.” Elyette’s breath was heavy. He said bitterly, “You are the last person she spoke to before her death. I want to know what the two of you were talking about.”
Averie’s hand which held the glass swayed! She felt dizzy and quickly put down the glass.
She muttered, “Your mother has passed away? What happened?”
“Answer my question! What did the two of you talk about!” Elyette was losing patience! He initially thought that his mother’s death was an accident. However, at that moment, he started to suspect that there was something more to it.
His mother had lived in that building for most of her life. How could she have suddenly fallen? Had she been agitated before the fall?
Her last call was to Averie. This was too suspicious! They had not been in contact all this time, and then they were on call for five whole minutes?
Averie’s face flushed red at his questions.
‘
She was indeed afraid that Rosalie would tell him the truth, but she had never expected Rosalie to die!
Rosalie’s death had nothing to do with her, but the tone of his voice told her that he suspected her!
Averie’s heart turned cold! All the doubts and suspicions could spoil a person’s relationship!
The reason she did not tell him about her children’s existence was that she did not trust him!
She did not think that he would make a good father! She did not trust him to be good to her children!
From his attitude, she could see that he was selfish, dictatorial, and violent!
“The conversation I had with your mom is something between us! I had nothing to do with her death!” Averie said through gritted teeth.
Elyette was extremely disappointed with Averie’s answer.
“It looks like my mother’s death has something to do with you,” he sneered and said hoarsely.
He was grieving for his mother, yet she was still on the defense. She was prickly and defensive! She had to make sure he bled!
He only wanted to know what his mother had said to her before she died. Was this too much to ask for?
It was not too much.
She was being too much!
“You have already determined that I killed your mother. No matter what I say, it doesn’t matter! If you are accusing me, it means that I have killed your mother!”
Averie’s temples hurt. She spoke, enunciating each word clearly, “Elyette. The amount of love I had for you in the past, is the amount of hate I hold for you now! I will no longer hold out any hope for you! I will remember how you have wrongfully accused me of murdering your mother for the rest of my life!”
In a single breath, she told said everything she wanted to say. She could not imagine how much pain he was in, because she was in so much more pain than him!
That morning, his mother had yelled and gloated at her misery and pain, now that she was gone, he was suspecting her of killing his mother.
How ridiculous! How comical!
Averie’s words made Elyette’s heart turn even colder. Since she hated him so much, and she would not love him anymore, then why should he show her mercy? “Go and bring Averie over!” Elyette turned to the side and said to the bodyguard.
On the other end of the line, Averie heard Elyette’s command. She sneered and said, “Don’t trouble your bodyguard. Where are you now? I’ll come right over.” Elyette waited in the hospital. He was still gripping Rosaline’s phone. The veins on his forehead popped. His entire body stiffened!
He had already decided that he was going to make Averie tell him everything his mother had said on the phone. He would not allow his mother to die without trying to get an explanation.
Henry cautiously walked over to Elyette and said, “Elyette, Mother is gone. Should we arrange for her funeral?”
Elyette barked, “Have an autopsy done first!”
He wanted to rule out murder!
Although his mother had high blood pressure, her recent health checkup had shown that she was still rather healthy. Her sudden fall was rather suspicious.
Henry nodded. “Okay, I will go look for the doctor.”
By the side, Cole was holding onto his mother. He did not dare breathe loudly. His heart was beating wildly. He was terrified.
He had to keep it together.
If Elyette ever found out that it was him who had shoved Rosalie down the stairs, he would kill him on the spot!
Cole had not wanted to push her! Elyette was Rosalie’s favorite, but she had also loved him plenty. It was Zoe who had persuaded him into doing it! There was no way out!.
Zoe did not want Elyette to know that Averie’s children were his biological children because once he knew about that, he would be even crazier over Averie, and he would treat her better than he ever had.
If Averie had Elyette by her side, how would Wanda win against Averie?
