Realizing that he could no longer hide the truth from Elliot, Chad said, “Avery went to see
Wanda Tate today and ended up falling down after a bodyguard pushed her.”
That morning, Chad had informed Elliot that Wanda’s assistant was the one behind the viral news a few
days ago
Elliot had planned to make some time to see Wanda over this matter.
He did not expect Avery to be one step ahead of 25 him.
Chad heard Elliot’s heavy breathing on the other side of the line and instantly turned anxious.
“It was an accident, sir. You can’t blame Avery… She doesn’t want anything to happen to the child,
either… She’s really down right now. Please don’t get mad at her when you get9c here…”
Elliot hung up the phone.
Ever since Chad got together with Mike, his thoughts turned severely23 biased.
Elliot cared about the child, but that did not mean that he did not care for Avery’s wellbeing.
If it ever came down to having to choose Avery or the child, he would always choose2a Avery.
Over at Wonder Technologies , Zoe rushed over the moment she heard about the altercation between
Wanda and Avery.
“Was this your so-called plan, Wanda?” Zoe snapped as the anger that she had suppressed for the past
two days finally erupted. “Did you not have any other ideas apart from revealing her35 children?!”
Wanda glanced at Zoe, then said, “Do you know the effect that a business owner has on their business?
Exposing her children was only a part of it. What matters is ruining her reputation!”
“Is having children before marriage considered a scandal? What century do you think we’re living in right
now?!” Zoe said with a puzzled look on her face.
“You don’t get it. Most of the customers that buy our products are over forty years old…”
“I don’t want to listen to your analysis! Did you know Avery Tate’s children are Elliot Foster’s?!” Zoe
snapped angrily. “If Elliot finds out about this, don’t you think he will take Avery’s side?”
Wanda’s face was composed as she said, “I guessed it. The boy looks a lot like Elliot. When Elliot will
fight for custody of the children when he finds out they’re his?! There must be a reason why Avery is so
terrified of Elliot finding out about it!”
Wanda’s answer made Zoe lift her hands and massage her temples.
She hoped that she was overreacting.
“Avery’s right-hand-man, Mike, is a computer genius,” Wanda said with a seething expression. “He
ruined a perfect plan. He’s got something on me now, instead. I can hide my connection to the entire
thing, but we can’t use the same move again.”
The moment Wanda finished speaking, her phone rang.
She answered the phone, and was welcome by the pleading cries of her bodyguard, “Madam Tate! Help!
Save me!”
The line suddenly went dead.
Wanda did not have time to ask what was going on.
“What is it?” Zoe asked.
When she saw the pale expression on Wanda’s face, she felt her heart jump to her throat.
With furrowed brows, Wanda walked towards the door and said, “It was my bodyguard… I think he’s in
trouble!”
As the two women exited the office, the elevator doors steps away opened up slowly.
A man covered in blood slowly crawled out of the elevator.
Zoe let out a horrified shriek!
The color completely drained from Wanda’s face!
It was her bodyguard!
How did he get beaten up like this?!
“It was Avery Tate! I must have been her!” Wanda hissed through gritted teeth.
At that moment, her phone rang once again.
Cold sweat had formed on her back as she pulled out her phone and stared a the unknown number on
the screen.
With trembling fingers, she answered the phone.
“Hey, Madam Tate. Ask your assistant to watch herself when she leaves the house!” threatened the
unknown man on the other end of the line.
Wanda instantly confirmed that Avery was behind something this cruel.
“I’m calling the police! You’re the one who should watch out!”
“Sure! Go ahead and call the police as long as you’re sure you can handle the consequences of being
Mr. Foster’s enemy,” said the voice on the phone as he let out a sinister chuckle.
Wanda’s face turned from pale to bright red! Mr. Foster?
