“Could he have moved about on the helicopter and tore the bandages? Or did he not allow the doctor to save him once he reached the hospital?” she wondered.
Averie sniffled. She could not stop her tears from96 falling.
No matter what had happened, Elyette was dead! He was dead!
The doctors could rescue a patient in danger, but they could not resurrect thead dead!
Last night, when she had wanted to murder him, she had thought that killing him would set her free, but why was her heart aching so badly now that she got news of his death?
On the internet, other media outlets began publishing their own takes on his death.

A series of eye-catching headlines had been published. It shocked everyone!
Henry kept calling Elyette on the phone, but he could not get through. He did not know how to verify the truth of the news on the internet.
Henry’s wife was rather excited. “Henry, if your brother died, do you think we will get some of his inheritance ? Didn’t you say that he previously left some for his mother in his will? Now that she is dead, will we get the money?”
Henry glared at his wife. “My mother has just died, and now my brother too is gone! Yet, all you care about is money?!”
“What else can I care for then? He’s dead! It was not me who killed him!”
Henry muttered, “How did he die?”
“Quickly, get Cole back! We are going to have a funeral!”
Henry did not want to hear his wife’s ravings. He grabbed his phone and car keys and left the house.
The Sterling Group was in utter chaos!
How could their boss suddenly die!
Chad’s phone was ringing off the hook!
Shaun and Ben’s phones had been ringing nonstop too. They gathered in Elyette’s office and started exchanging information.
“Who has contacted him in the past two days?” Ben asked.
“I sent him a work email the day before yesterday. He read it but did not reply. He has not checked his messages in the past two days,” said Shaun.
Chad adjusted the glasses on his nose. “Three days ago, Mike and Hayden went to look for him. At that time, he should still be alright.”
“I’ll head to the hospital to have a look. Chad, go find Mike and get Mike to contact Averie. Mr. Locklyn, go call for an emergency meeting and calm everyone down! Before we understand what truly happened to Mr. Foster, please don’t believe the news on the internet !” Ben said seriously. “I don’t believe that he is dead. He barely said anything. He can’t leave just like that!
When the three of them finally came to a conclusion, they each went their separate ways.
Chad rang the Starry River Villa’s doorbell.
After a while, the door opened. Mike appeared with his unkempt blond hair. He looked at Chad in disbelief.
“What are you doing? Why are you here so early in the morning disturbing my sleep?” Mike rubbed his eyes and headed into the living area.
“Mike, call Averie right now! Something has happened to Mr. Foster! We can’t contact him. Averie must have known what happened,” Chad said seriously. He went forward and grabbed Mike’s arm.
Mike picked up a cup of water. “What happened to your boss? Please don’t come looking for Averie every time he is in trouble-”
“He is dead.” Chad felt uncomfortable.
Mike spat out the water. “Are you pulling my leg? You said he died? How did he die?”
“I don’t know. The internet said that he is25 dead.”
Mike was speechless. Seeing how Chad was almost in tears, he immediately placed the cup of water down and headed to his room.
“Don’t worry. Let me ask Averie. She was on the phone with me yesterday afternoon. She said that her injuries were not that painful anymore. She should be able to return in a few days. She didn’t say that anything had happened to96 Elyette -”
“It happened early today morning.” Chad followed Mike into his room. “We can’t get to him or his bodyguard. I have been with him for so many years. This is the first time that this has happened.”
Mike got his phone and called Averie. At the same time, he put it onzd loudspeaker.
It was some time before Averie answered his call.
“Averie!” Mike’s emotions had been influenced by Chad. He was anxious. “I heard that Elyette is dead. What happened? I’m sure it had nothing to do with you,49 right!”
Averie lay in bed, looking at the ceiling. Her voice was hoarse. “I did it.”
Mike was bewildered. Chad was35 speechless.
“I did it,” Averie said once again.
“A-Are you alright?” Mike pulled his hair in disbelief. “Why did you kill him? Why?”
“I don’t know…” Averie had been crying for a long time, and her throat hurt. Her voice was hoarse. “I don’t know how it turned out this way-”
“Okay, stop crying! I’ll come get you immediately!” Mike said and grabbed a jacket from his room. “Don’t turn off your phone!”
When Mike ended the call, Chad was completely numb.
His boss was truly dead. Averie was the murderer.
“Hehe! How comical!” he thought.
He had initially thought them to be truly in love with each other despite the numerous arguments, and that they would be together once they had resolved everything.
Never had he thought that tragedy would be the outcome!
When Mike was by the door putting on his shoes, he suddenly saw Chad.
“… Chad. Averie is wrong this time, but I will still stand on her side.” Mike had his shoes on, and he looked at Chad. “I’m sorry. If you want to cut ties with me, then so be it!”
Mike ended his sentence and left without looking back.
He had said that to him, Averie was more important than family. No matter what she did, he would never leave.
Chad took his glasses off and wiped away his tears. Cutting ties with Mike had not been the saddest part of the day. The saddest part of the day was knowing that his boss was dead.
For a while, he could not figure out how to get back to his office, and when he was finally back at his office, he did not dare tell Shaun the news.
Chad called Ben and told Ben what he heard.
Ben said, “Did she really say so?”
“I heard it myself. She said she did it,” Chad choked and said, “I never thought that she would be as impulsive and bold to do something like this!”
“Don’t cry. I’m at the hospital. The news I got is that he is still in the emergency room, being resuscitated.”
Chad was stunned for a while. Then, he immediately collected his emotions. “Where did Mr. Foster get hurt? Why is it so serious?”
“The heart.”
Chad exclaimed, “How could she be so cruel!”
“The bodyguard said that he did it to himself.” Ben looked serious. “Even if Averie did it, he would not blame her.”
“Is that what he said?”
“The bodyguard told me. He had passed out long before he had arrived at the hospital.” Ben rubbed the middle of his brows. “His estate attorney has also come after seeing the news.”
Mike was at the forest villa.
