Tammy walked past him and strode towards Elliot’s office.
“Your wife looks like she is here to pick a fight or something,” Chad teased.
Jun sighed with resignation. “I told her not to come and she keeps insisting. She insists that the woman in the video is not Avery, but I watched it carefully and I still think that it’s Avery!”
“Tammy is good friends with Avery, so naturally she would side with her. Mike is the same. He told me that the woman in that video is Nora. He said that Nora is imitating Avery’s voice and the pregnant belly is just CG effects… He seems so serious that I almost believed 46 him.”
Jun exclaimed, “does he think that this is a movie?”
Chad adjusted his spectacles and said, “what he said is possible but the chances of that are slim. Those two are having a much harder time to accept that Avery would be that sort of a34 woman.”
“You are right. Tammy’s gone crazy ever since she saw that video and I can’t even calm her down.”
“Same with my boss. He hasn’t done anything horrible just yet, but I feel like he could explode any minute now. I don’t dare to go in, so you go on ahead!” Chad tapped Jun on thecd shoulder.
Worried that Tammy might cause trouble, Jun had no choice but to step inside the office.
“Avery was tricked into going to that hotel!” Tammy stood before Elliot’s desk. “Once we catch the person who stole my phone, we will be able to find out who didge this.”
“Show me the messages on your phone,” Elliot said.
“The thief deleted them! Whoever stole it is smart. He can’t possibly be working alone; he has to have other accomplices!” Tammy23 analyzed.
Elliot desperately wanted to believe her, but how could he do so based on nothing but her words?
“Tammy, I know that you are best friends with Avery and you are willing to lie for her…” Ben said.
“What gives you the right to say that I’m lying? Just because you are older than me?” Tammy lost her temper and retorted, “my husband can prove that I lost my phone a week ago and got it back from Avery. Are you going to say that Avery stole my phone now?”
“It could be that you misplaced your phone with her and in the effort of proving her innocence, you just made up this ‘thief’ to take all the blame. Do you consider us fools?” Ben drawled, “if you want us to believe you, give us proof!”
Tammy’s eyes reddened as she was overwhelmed by helplessness.
“Ben Schaffer, has Chelsea bought you over? This is clearly her doing! Nothing has been right ever since she brought that plastic cousin of hers back to Aryadelle, can’t any of you sense that?!” Tammy shouted.
Chelsea was in the room as well, and when she heard her name being mentioned by Tammy, she spoke out calmly, “Tammy, you can slander me, but please do not insult my cousin! She was injured earlier on and has been staying at home to recover. What could she possibly do? Besides, this is Avery’s business; she should be here to explain herself, who are you to represent her here?”
Embarrassed, Jun apologized to Chelsea, before dragging Tammy outside.
Tears scrolled down Chelsea’s face. “I’m sorry, Elliot, I shouldn’t have brought Nora into this company. I will tell her to leave,” she paused for a moment before continuing, “but that person in the video is definitely not Nora…”
“Get out!” Elliot swallowed hard and barked, “all of you. Get out!”
Soon, he was the only one left in the office. His dark, brooding eyes were filled with unspeakable pain as he grabbed his phone and dialed Avery’s number…
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 662
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 662
To his surprise, his call was immediately answered.
“I’m coming back tomorrow,” her voice was calm and unwavering, “let’s talk then.”
All the rage and fear storming within him was instantly overpowered.
Elliot thought back to what Ben said. Ben said that Avery knew how to manipulate him and was very successful at 46 it.
It was not until that moment that Elliot understood what Ben was trying to say. Indeed, Avery had him wrapped around her fingers. All it took was a few words from her and he would choose to believe her without a doubt even when all proof suggested that she had betrayed him.
“Avery,” he called out her name in a hoarse voice before hanging34 up.
Avery could tell how hard he was struggling from his voice. He must have watched the video and suspected her role in it, or he would be in so much pain.
“Elliot, I know it’s difficult for you to trust me,” she struggled to explain under the tension between them, “when I saw the video, even I thought it wascd me.”
He listened to her quietly and his raging emotions began to settle down.
“I watched it over and over again,” she said with a lump in her throat, “Elliot, that’s notge me.
As soon as Avery said that, Layla came to tug at her clothes and asked, “Mom, Hayden is here!”
Elliot readjusted himself swiftly when he heard Layla’s voice. “Go look after the kids first. We will talk when you are23 back.”
With that, they ended the conversation.
Layla scowled and looked up at Avery. “Mom, are you talking to Dirtbag Dad? He is the only one who would make you cry.”
Avery wasn’t crying, but her eyes were turning red. Layla didn’t know what had happened, so she couldn’t understand why Avery was upset and had no clue that it had nothing to do with Elliot.
Worried that Layla would come across the news, Avery said, “Layla, don’t play with phones for now.”
“I don’t have a phone!” Layla looked at her with an innocent expression.
“I know that you always play with Uncle Mike’s phone.”
Exposed by her mother, Layla chuckled and stuck her tongue out. “I play with Uncle Eric’s phone all the time as well, Mom. You are the only one who doesn’t let me do so.”
“I won’t let you do it because it’s bad for your eyes.”
“But Hayden plays with his laptop all the time, why haven’t you said anything to him, then?” Layla pouted at the injustice.
“You know why. I took Hayden to see the psychologist and the doctor approved,” Avery explained patiently.
Layla smiled at her in a flattering manner and said, “I won’t play with computers even if you buy me one, Mom. I’m just envious of how great Hayden is!”
“Sure, your brother is great.”
As the two were chatting, the bodyguard brought Hayden to them.
When they were inside the call, both Avery and Hayden spoke out at the same time.
“You first, Hayden.”
“You go first, Mom.”
“Alright, my original plan was to take you and your sister to travel around Bridgedale before we head back; but something happened back in Aryadelle and I need to take you two back immediately,” Avery said guiltily, “if you are tired, we can rest for one day before traveling back”
Hayden shook his head. “I’m not tired, Mom. We can head back now, but I want to start school a little later.”
“What’s wrong, Hayden?” Avery looked at her son in confusion.
Hayden had yet to find the Darknet organization that Nora had used before; he couldn’t focus on school until he found them.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 663
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 663
He couldn’t tell his mother directly, or she might not agree. He tried his best to look sincere and lied in a serious tone, “I’m exhausted from the summer camp.”
Avery’s heart softened and agreed. “Darling, you need to tell me when you are stressed from school next time. Studying is important, but your health is the top priority.”
Hayden nodded.
Meanwhile, in Elliot’s mansion in Aryadelle at eight in the46 evening.
Ben poured Elliot a glass of wine and Elliot turned it down.
“I can’t drink anymore.” Elliot had already drunk two glasses and was already blushing. His eyes were dazed, but he still remembered that he would be meeting Avery the next day; if he drank too much, it would affect his physical condition34 tomorrow.
“Fine, I’ll drink it myself.” Ben grabbed Elliot’s glass and drank from it.
“Don’t drink too much.” Elliot glanced at him. “I know that you are doing this for me,cd but…”
“But, what? But you won’t put Avery on the spot, right? You don’t have the heart to because of your baby.” Ben set the glass down and said, “I just want to remind you that the stake you have been placing on her is only getting higher. If you don’t take this opportunity to get out, there won’t be another chance in the future.”
The daze in Elliot’s eyes disappeared in ange instant.
It was hard for him to fall in love; and so, when he finally did, he couldn’t let go. It was his merit, and at the same time, his shortcoming.
“Elliot, as your friend, I’ve always wanted you to live a happy life. It doesn’t matter how much you spend on women; I can look the other way as long as you are happy.” Ben scowled and continued, “but Avery has hurt you over and over again. She’s even done something so out of line this time. This is the consequence of your boundless 23 tolerance.”
Elliot lowered his gaze and lit a cigarette.
“If you can provide proof that she is not the woman in the video, I will apologize to her in however way she wants me to; but she fails to do so, I will take all her words as nothing but excuses,” Ben said as he stared through the smoke at Elliot’s face.
Elliot remained silent for a while, before moving his fingers towards the ashtray to shake off the ash.
“Ben, I used to view the world as black and white with nothing worthy of interest, until I met Avery. She helped me see the colorful side of this world,” Elliot said steadily, “she’s a drug and I’m hooked.”
“I know it’s hard for you to break up with her, Elliot, but if you refuse to take that step, you will keep getting hurt by her,” Ben said.
“We’ll see tomorrow! I’m tired.” Elliot put out the cigarette with a dark expression, before heading upstairs.
The next day, at eight in the morning, Avery arrived in Elliot’s mansion alongside her bodyguard.
According to what Avery knew about Elliot, he would usually wake up at eight in the morning during weekdays.
When Mrs. Cooper saw her, she immediately invited Avery inside.
“Avery, have you been eating at all? There’s no meat on your bones.” Mrs. Cooper brought breakfast to her and said, “eat right here. Mr. Foster should be down at any minute.”
“Mrs. Cooper, I’ve eaten this morning,” Avery said awkwardly, “you don’t have to bring me this much food.”
As the two spoke, Elliot came downstairs with another person following closely behind.
Ben had drunk too much the night before and stayed the night in Elliot’s mansion.
Avery couldn’t help but tense when she saw the two men.
If she was only facing Elliot, she would not feel nervous; but Mike had told her that Ben resented her for this incident, and had been trying to convince Elliot to break up with her.
Elliot walked towards her and spotted the glass of milk in her hand. “Have your breakfast first! ” He said calmly.
Avery set the glass down. “I’m full.”
Ben immediately cut to the chase and asked, “Avery, you said that you are not the woman in that video. Do you have proof?”
“No.” She heard Ben, but couldn’t stop herself from looking over at Elliot.
“What are you doing here, then? To make up a story, or beg for Elliot’s forgiveness?” Ben said sarcastically, “stop looking at Elliot with those doe-eyes! It means nothing even if you get on your knees and beg today!”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 664
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 664
Provoked by Ben’s words, she reminded him, “Ben, this is between me and him.”
“When Tammy came to us for your sake and started shouting like a crazy woman, was I supposed to tell her the same thing as well?” Ben retorted.
Avery’s blood ran cold at his words as she froze in place.
She had come here to explain to Elliot about what had happened that day in the hotel. She wanted to tell him whether or not he chose to believe her, because at least she would have no46 regret.
However, everything just seemed so ridiculous now.
How could she forget about34 Tammy?
Tammy had always been so protective of her and she must have gone to Elliot and the others to explain what happened; judging from their reaction at the moment, it was clear that none of them believed Tammy.
If that was the case, there was no need for her to waste her timecd explaining.
“If you think that I’m the woman in the video, then so be it!” She said coldly, “forget I even came here.”
With that, she turned around toge leave.
Elliot grabbed onto her arm. “Avery! I didn’t say you can leave!” He was breathing heavily and continued in a stern voice, “I want to hear you explain!”
“Elliot, she already said that she has no proof…” Ben said with23 resignation.
“This is between me and her!” Elliot glared at him viciously. “I don’t need anyone to remind me what to do! Even if my decision is wrong, I will accept the consequences on my own!”
Ben saw the determination in his eyes and left without another word.
After he left, Avery broke her arm free of Elliot’s restraint and in a low voice, she said, ” Tammy already said what I meant to say. Your friendship with Ben runs deeper than my friendship with Tammy, right? You are making me look bad.”
Ben must hate her now.
Though she didn’t care about Ben’s thoughts on her, she didn’t feel right that Ben and Elliot’s friendship suffered because of her.
Elliot mumbled as though he had not heard what she said, “someone tricked you into going to the hotel and found a woman that looks exactly like you to record her and framed you.”
“Doesn’t it sound fake? Not even movies dare to use plots like this,” she said sarcastically, “its normal that Ben won’t believe me; as for you, I’ve never dreamed of having your trust.”
His heart froze at her tone.
If he didn’t believe her, why would he stop her from leaving to listen to her?
As Avery had said, Elliot and Ben were as close as brothers; still, he fought with Ben. What about her? Apart from pride, all she had was never-ending prejudice against him.
“Avery, what gives you the right to do this to me?” He swallowed hard as his eyes reddened.” It doesn’t matter if you are the woman in that video, you have always been on a high horse whenever you are with me!”
“Should I have kneeled and begged for your forgiveness, then?!” Provoked by Elliot’s accusation, she retorted, “you get to get on a high horse and ask for my explanation, but I’m not allowed to doubt your trust towards me?”
“Elliot, I’ve already explained everything about that video. I’m busy, so I’ll go now,” she spoke quickly before hurrying away.
Elliot watched as she left and clenched his fists.
‘This time, I won’t let go of my pride and forgive her,’ he thought.
The irritation Avery felt did not ease even the slightest after leaving Elliot’s mansion. She couldn’t even remember how many times she had to work hard to prove her innocence.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 665
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 665
She wasn’t the one who did it, and she was supposed to be the victim , but she was forced to take on the burden because of public opinions.
Avery called Tammy
“Avery, why did you come back so early?” Tammy was slightly confused. “If I were you, I would have remained a bit longer in Bridgedale. It’s not because I’d be scared of anything, it’s just that some of the people here in Aryadale are just too disgusting.”
“Running won’t solve the problem. I’ve already met with them,” Avery said calmly, “Tammy, I heard that you went to them for my sake. Thank you for trusting46 me.”
“Why are you thanking me? Coming to think of it, it’s my fault. If only I kept my phone safe, it wouldn’t have been stolen and without my phone, the thieves would have no means to trick you into going to the hotel,” Tammy said in frustration.
“Even if they couldn’t steal your phone, they would have come up with other ways to get me there.” Avery looked outside the window and said, “it’s getting cold. Let’s go34 shopping!”
Avery thought that it was time for her to buy Autumn-wear for her children. Her children were growing fast and she had to buy them new clothes every year.
Avery and Tammy decided to meet in one of the malls situated in the citycd center.
When Tammy saw her, she immediately asked, “how did Elliot react? Did he believe you?”
Avery smiled bitterly. “Even I thought it was me for a moment when I first saw the video, so I don’t expect anyone else to believege it.”
“He’s not just anyone. He is the father of your children!” Tammy argued in frustration,” whatever. It’s up to him to not believe you! You are not married to him, anyway. Your life doesn’t revolve around him.”
The two entered the mall and swiftly picked out the clothes they wanted, before heading to a restaurant for23 high-tea.
Not long after they took their seats, Tammy noticed someone sneakily taking photos of them with their phones. She immediately walked up to the woman who was taking photos and said, “are you taking photos without our consent?! Delete them!”
Avery followed Tammy over.
Intimidated by Tammy, the woman reluctantly deleted the photos, before complaining, “why are you shouting? It’s not like I was taking photos of you!”
“Taking photos of my best friend is the same thing as taking photos of me! Apologize to my best friend right now, or you are not going anywhere!”
“Tammy, it’s fine,” Avery said.
People began to turn their attention to them. Avery was not embarrassed at first, but soon felt like she was a monkey in a zoo, being watched for every single move. She dragged Tammy back to their seats and told the waiter to pack their food, before paying.
“Avery, we didn’t do anything wrong. Why do we have to leave?” Tammy simply couldn’t accept it.
“I don’t want to be stared at by so many people. It doesn’t feel so good.” Avery took a sip of water from her glass and continued, “I didn’t want to bother looking for evidence to prove myself, but then I remember that both my kids are going to school and if I don’t prove my innocence, they might be affected by the scandal.”
Avery’s concern was reasonable, unless Hayden and Layla stopped going to schools in Aryadelle altogether.
“But how do we find proof?” Tammy said in a troubled tone.
The waiter had finished packing their food and brought it over to them.
The two stepped out of the restaurant and Avery said, “that day I went to the hotel, a decent looking male staff showed me the way to the private room; the way he was looking at me was as though he had seen me before. Maybe we can start investigating with that hotel staff.”
Tammy beamed. “Then let’s go find him!”
Concerned, Avery said, “if I go, it might alert him.”
“I’ll go alone, then! I don’t know what he looks like, though,” Tammy said. “Video call me once you are inside the hotel,” Avery suggested.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 666
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 666
At Caesar Hotel, Tammy was in a blonde wig with thick makeup on her face. She was dressed to the nines. She entered the lobby.
The concierge staff saw her and were instantly attracted to her.
“I’m looking for your manager,” Tammy walked to the concierge and smiled elegantly.
The concierge staff forgot to ask Tammy about her identity. She immediately dialed her46 manager.
Soon, the manager came over. When the manager saw Tammy, he was stunned. “Miss, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Let’s talk in another place,” Tammy hooked her arm over the manager’s shoulder. “Let’s head to your office. There is something good I want to share with34 you.”
When the manager heard what Tammy said, he immediately brought her to his office.
The moment she entered his office, Tammy sat down on the sofa and said to the manager,” Show me all of your male staff members. I want them withcd photos.”
The manager was confused. “Miss, what do you want them for?”
“This question doesn’t feel like it should come out of a person of your level. I want a male staff member to serve me, of course!” Tammy said and produced a black card. “I have the money. Go and get the list here. If I pick someone I like, I’ll reward youge too.”
The manager immediately took a tablet over and found the photos of all the male staff.
Tammy accepted the tablet. Then she took her phone out and took photos of the photos on the23 tablet.
The manager panicked a little. “Miss, what are you doing?”
Tammy raised her eyebrows. “I’m selecting one for my best friends! Don’t you know how rich women have fun? If I find someone good, I’ll introduce them to my friends.”
The manager suddenly understood.
Tammy sent all the male staff’s photos to Avery and waited for her reply.
A moment later, Avery sent back a photo of a male staff member. (It’s him.]
Tammy immediately showed the photo to the manager. “I want him, right now.”
The manager felt as if Tammy was about to devour that staff member, so he said carefully,” Miss, all the staff members are proper staff members. They might not be willing to sell themselves…”
Tammy pulled her sleeves and exposed her shoulders. “Are you doubting my attractiveness?”
The manager was speechless. He went to get the male staff member over.
Once Tammy saw the person, she immediately took a pile of cash out of her bag and passed it to the manager. “If your staff member serves me well, you’ll be rewarded after as well!”
The manager was delighted. He said to the staff member, “Ryan, looked at this wonderful patron. She is beautiful and generous. You got lucky!”
Ryan sized Tammy up. He lowered his head shyly because she was too beautiful.
Tammy brought Ryan out of the hotel into her luxury car.
“Miss, why did you pick me? I’m not the most handsome man in our hotel. The most handsome man is…” Ryan said.
Tammy interrupted him. “The person that wanted you is my best friend. You must be wondering why she picked you because she has met you in the hotel before. She thinks you and her are destined to be!”
Ryan was a little surprised. He was extremely excited.
Once Tammy drove to another hotel and brought Ryan to Avery, Ryan was bewildered. Avery Tate?!
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 667
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 667
What was Avery Tate looking for him for?
Looking at her cold expressions, it did not seem like she was looking for him for pleasure!
“Ryan.” Avery placed a stack of cash and a bottle of medication in front of him. “If you properly answer my questions and tell me what you know, this money is yours. If you don’t cooperate and say nothing. This bottle of medicine will shut you up forever.”
Ryan was scared half to death. He pointed at the black bottle of medicine and stuttered, “W What medicine is 46 this?”
“A poison. Once you consume it, you’ll die immediately. The most important thing is that the coroner will not detect this poison. By then, they will say that you asphyxiated due to over excitement. No one will suspect.” Avery’s tone was calm and light.
Ryan was so frightened his face turned pale. He immediately knelt on the ground. “Miss Tate. What do you want to know, ask all you want, but I’m only a lowly staff member, I don’t know34 much!”
Avery saw how Ryan was not on guard, she immediately asked, “When I was cheated to go to the hotel that day, who got you to welcome me? Who moved me to room Six Zero Nine? Have you seen the woman in the video before?”
Ryan was bewildered by the series of questions Avery posed. “Miss Tate, I’m just a lowly server. My duty that day was just to serve you a cup of water. I don’t know about the other things,cd but…”
“But, what!” Tammy was an impatient woman. Looking at how he stuttered, she was a little annoyed.
“But I did indeed see a woman who looks a lot like you, Miss Tate…” Ryan said. He swept a glance at the cash on the table. “Miss Tate, this is all I know. Can Ige leave?”
“Do you think the woman in the video is me?” Avery put the cash in his arms. “Ryan, don’t be afraid. I only want to know what is going on. I won’t expose you.”
“Of course, the woman in the video is not you. You passed out at that time. How could you have done something like that with a man?” Ryan took the cash. Suddenly, his speech was much more fluent. “Miss Tate, don’t expose me! I’m afraid of 23 death!”
Avery found a photo on her phone and showed it to Ryan. “The woman that looks like me, the one that you saw. Is it this person?”
Avery showed Ryan Nora’s photo.
Ryan saw the photo and nodded. “It’s her. She looks a lot like you, but you’re prettier…”
“Watch what you’re saying!” Tammy kicked Ryan in the butt.
Ryan understood he spoke out of line, so he bore the pain.
“Ryan, when you saw this woman, was she pregnant?” Avery was in utter suspense.
Ryan nodded. “When I saw her, I thought she was you, so I thought nothing much about it. Later, when I met you again in the hotel, I realized that you were two different people.”
The doubts in Avery’s heart were solved. It was Nora! It was truly Nora secretly pretending to be her!
The next day, Avery brought her bodyguard to Sterling Group.
When the receptionist saw her, she did not dare to ask if Avery had a booking or not. That was because the entire company knew that Avery was pregnant with the President’s child.
“Miss Tate, are you looking for Mr. Foster? He is not here yet,” The receptionist said politely.
“I’m not looking for him.” Avery headed to the lift. “I’m looking for a staff of yours in the PR department.”
The receptionist looked at her and pressed the elevator button for her. “Okay. The PR department is on the seventh floor. Do you need me to take you there?”
“No need,” Avery replied coldly.
Once Avery and the bodyguard entered the lift, the receptionist returned to her desk and dialed Chad. “Chad, Miss Tate has gone up to the PR department. I don’t dare to stop her! She’s about to reach the PR department! Go there quickly to have a look! I got a feeling Miss Tate is here to fight!”
Fight? Avery was seven months pregnant. Who could she be a match for?
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 668
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 668
At the PR department.
Avery’s arrival stunned everyone.
Everyone looked at her, not daring to breathe. Although they did not know why she was there, from the expressions on her face, they could guess that she did not come with friendly intentions.
Avery looked at everyone and asked, “Is Nora not here46 yet?”
lly arrives on the dot.” A staff member looked at the time. “She should be here soon.
Speak of the34 devil.
Nora entered the PR department with sky-high heels and an LV bag. Seeing a crowd surrounding the entrance, she walked over.
The moment she saw Avery, her nosy expressions immediatelycd stopped.
Perhaps because Chelsea was not there yet, a sense of crisis rose in her.
What if Avery was there looking for trouble? She was all alone. She was not a match forge Avery!
“Miss Tate, Nora is here!” Someone said.
Avery turned around to 23 look.
When she saw Nora, her eyes were filled with iciness and disgust.
“Avery, were you looking for me?” Nora forced a smile and asked, “You’re here early. Is there something important?”
“It’s nothing important,” Avery said flatly, “I’m just used to being up early, so for you, my arrival might be a little early.”
Seeing how there was no threat in her tone, Nora instantly lowered her guard, “Oh, if it’s nothing important, then we can talk here.”
Avery looked at the face that looked like her. She was getting angrier.
This woman used her face to do disgusting and evil things!
Avery did not bother to say another word. She raised her hand and slapped Nora brutally on the face!
Everyone was stunned!
Logically speaking, when things like this happen, someone would have stood up to pacify the situation, but no one did.
Everyone only stood there silently, watching things unfold.
Nora has done her face up to look like Avery, this was a cold, hard fact. Everyone could see for themselves. Although they said nothing in public, in private, word has been spread.
No matter who it was in Avery’s shoes, they would be uncomfortable about it.
Avery had the child in her as her support. Her coming to look for Nora for trouble was only a matter of time.
Nora clutched her face. She was in so much pain tears fell. “You hit me! How dare you hit me! What right do you have to hit me!”
Avery looked at her teary and pitiful face. Thinking about the things that she had done she was even angrier!
“Hold her down!” Avery instructed the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately went forward and held both of Nora’s hands.
Nora tried to struggle, but she could not break free! She was so scared she yelled for help!
Before someone could come to her rescue, Avery slapped her once more on the face.
This time, she was slapped so badly she was in a daze!
“When you gouged Zoe’s eyes out, Zoe must have been yelling even worse than you right now, ” Avery said with a sneer, “I have only slapped you twice, yet you can’t take it already?”
Nora was stunned. “What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about?”
Slap!
Avery slapped her once more!
“Do you think that I’m easily bullied, so you can be so brazen?” Avery looked at her swollen face, she was merciless. “Doing up your face to look like me, mimicking my voice, creating scandals for me. Are you trying to get Elliot to dump me or are you trying to make me have miscarriage from anger?” Half of Nora’s face was in so much pain it was numb. Her ears were buzzing too.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 669
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 669
Nora did not dare to talk back. Avery has got nuts! She was scared to death!
“You underestimate me.” Avery pinched Nora’s painful yet undignified face. She enunciated,” I have never relied on a man to live! Even if the skies fell on me, I will give birth to my child successfully. Your schemes might work once or twice. Do you think it will work the third time?
When Chad rushed over, Nora’s face had already been46 swollen.
When Nora saw Chad, she instantly wailed, “Chad! Help! Avery has gone mad! She hit me! She’s going to beat me to death! Woo, woo, woo!”
Chad immediately walked over to her and pushed Avery’s bodyguard34 away.
“Avery, what are you doing? We’re at the office. You shouldn’t come here making a scene,” Chad helped Nora up and said sternly.
Avery had a cold and calm look. “I’ll teach her a lesson wherever I want to. If you’re not happy about it, get your boss to talk tocd me.”
Chad was speechless. What would happen if he got Elliot to talk to her? In the end, they would still let her be.
“Chad, quickly call Chelsea. If Chelsea knows that I’ve been bullied, she will help me.” Nora held on tightly to Chad’s arms. She did not dare letge go.
Chad looked at her. He pitied her, but his senses told him to get a grip.
Avery was not an impulsive person. There must be a reason she was so angry that23 day.
“Nora, I’ll get the guard to send you to the hospital,” Chad said, “I think your nose is crooked.
Nora yelped and covered her face.
Once Chad handed Nora over to the guards, he led Avery out of the PR department. This incident caused too much of a ruckus. He could not control what the staff would talk about in
private.
If Avery was not Avery, if she was someone else, no one would be able to simply enter Sterling Group’s offices, let alone beat up a staff member.
Every floor of the office has guards.
When Avery was teaching Nora a lesson, none of the guards dared to stop her.
Beating Nora up was a small matter. If anything were to happen to the child in Avery, who was going to bear the responsibility?
Avery saw that Chad pressed the button on the top floor. She said, “Are you going to bring me to your boss’s office?”
Chad’s attitude softened much more than before. “I’m taking you to have some water.”
“I’m not thirsty.” Avery pressed the button for the ground floor. “If your boss asked, just say that I lost my temper, so I wanted to teach her a lesson. After all, I don’t have concrete evidence that she is mimicking me, so I could only do as I please.”
Chad was unable to restrain a smile. “Don’t be mad. Whether she impersonated you to do those things or not, don’t let others take advantage of you in the future.”
“It’s easy for you to say. If it were you, will you be mad?” Avery retorted, “I don’t need any reputation, but my children do. Now that school has started. If the other kids in school were to say things about me to my children, can I hold back?”
The smile on Chad’s face disappeared. “I’ll tell Mr. Foster about your difficulties.”
“What is there to tell him about? I fought with him yesterday, don’t you know?”
Chad was speechless. He indeed did not know about it.
“I’m not going to the top floor.” Avery saw that the lift has stopped at the top floor.
“Okay, then I’ll send you down.” Chad closed the doors and accompanied her down.
When the lift was on the ground floor, the doors opened slowly with a ding.
Outside the lift stood Elliot in black and Chelsea in a red dress.
When Chelsea saw Avery, she instantly flared up. “Avery, what right do you have to hit my cousin!”
Avery said lazily, ‘The next person I’ll hit is you.”
Chelsea was furious, “You…” Elliot heard their conversation. His expressions instantly darkened.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 670
Avery walked out of the lift. She did not plan to deal with them. Her intention there that day was to teach Nora a lesson. Now that she has relieved herself of anger, she was feeling much better.
Just when she walked past Elliot, he suddenly grabbed her arm without any warning.
“What are you doing?” Avery looked at him.
Elliot pulled her along and headed out of the46 office.
Chelsea wanted to follow but Chad stopped her. “Chelsea, go and see Nora. She has been crying nonstop.”
Chelsea gritted her teeth. “Where is 34 she?”
“I saw that her nose was a little crooked, so I got the guards to send her to the hospital,” Chad said, “Go to the hospital and look for her! She’s extremely upset. I’m afraid she might not think things through.”
Chad had already put it that way, Chelsea could only head to the hospital to visited Nora.
Elliot pulled Avery to the entrance of the parking lot of the office. At that moment, there was no one else in the parking lot other than them.
When Chelsea drove off, her gaze at Avery was filled with malicious9e intent.
Why would she suddenly come to hit Nora? Did Avery find out about something?
After Chelsea drove off, Avery lowered her gaze and saw her reddened right23 hand.
When she was slapping Nora, she did not hold back, so her hand was numb at that moment.
“Avery, don’t you think you’re acting recklessly?” Elliot’s back was facing the sun. His face was glum, and his tone was cold. “Look at your tummy. How could you dare to fight with others?”
Avery was not afraid of him. “If I don’t do it, I will be very angry. Anger is bad for the child.”
Avery has thought about it beforehand. In the end, she still decided to come to teach Nora a lesson. Other than taking her anger out on Nora, it was also a warning to Nora. If Nora still dared to do evil things, the next time would be not only a few slaps!
“Are you sure it’s her?” From how well Elliot understood Avery, if Avery were not sure about the outcome of things, she would never have lost her temper so badly.
His words made Avery’s suppressed anger rise again. “If it’s not her? Could it be me?”
Elliot took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Avery was late in her pregnancy term. She
was a special case. He could not make her angry.
“Avery, what I meant just now was that if you have the evidence that it was Nora who did it, please give me them. I will deal with this strictly.”
“If I have the evidence, why would I hand it over to you? Do you think if I have the evidence, I wouldn’t be able to deal with it myself?” Avery saw that Elliot did not get angry, so she calmed down a lot too.
For the sake of her child, she had to control herself.
Avery’s answer was like a punch to Elliot. It made Elliot in a daze.
Did that mean she went to his office that day just to beat someone up?
“Why are you looking at me that way? Are you thinking about what to do with me?” Avery grabbed his arm and intentionally provoked him. “What do you plan to do?”
“What can I do?” Elliot retracted his arm. He looked at her coldly. His tone was filled with helplessness. “Avery, even if today the person that you beat up was not Nora, but me. What do you think I could do to you?”
“When you got mad in the past, you never cared about me. In the end, you only care about your child.” Avery sneered and mocked him. “I thought you didn’t like children! Who would have thought it was all a show! What happened to that gusto you had before? Elliot, I look down on you!”
Elliot’s body tightened. He clenched his fists tightly. A wave of coldness was emitted from him.
He was indeed reckless in the past. When he got mad, he was not good at managing his emotions.
However, at that moment, Avery’s tummy was so huge. It was so huge he could not ignore it. Even if the child in her tummy was not his, he would not do anything to her either!
