Anger was boiling within Elliot’s eyes. The word ‘skank’ was like a sharp blade that was sent piercing
through his heart. To him, Avery had always been the purest, most innocent person in the world, so she
couldn’t possibly be the woman in the video.
However, no matter how reluctant he was to admit it, the woman’s face and voice, along with her
pregnant belly were all proving Elliot wrong.
“I’ve known you for almost twenty years now, Elliot, do you think I would hurt you?” Ben saw the pain in
Elliot’s eyes and felt sorry for him.
“If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Chelsea. We ran into the scene together that night. Do you
know why we held back from telling you about it? It’s because we wanted Avery to give birth to your
child and we didn’t want to cause any trouble at this time… But it turns out that Avery is shameless
enough to record a tape like this!”
“Don’t you think that the video is blurred out?” Elliot’s senses and urges were playing a tug of war
within him and tore him apart as they did.
“That video has to be fake!”
Ben had never seen Elliot like this.
Elliot was never afraid of adversity or failure. They had encountered dangerous situations countless
times before, with the company almost going bankrupt in the most difficult moment. Elliot came close to
bearing a tremendous debt, but didn’t even flinch at the time.
Who would have thought that a man like that would struggle to accept the fact that Avery had cheated
on him?
“Let’s say the video is fake. So is the voice I heard in Caesar Hotel fake as well?” Ben pressed on
sarcastically.
“I went to the reception to check right away that night and Avery was indeed in the hotel. I called her
that night but her phone was turned off. She didn’t call me back until the day after and she admitted
herself that she was in Caesar Hotel!”
Ben spoke quickly and his words were piercing. “That bed in the video is one of the beds in Caesar
Hotel!”
Elliot’s eyes reddened. He supported his head with pale fingers and sank into silence as he suffered
through excruciating pain.
A voice inside his head told him to believe in Avery unconditionally; but there was also another voice
that told him to give up and accept the reality.He could feel himself being torn apart little by little.
Ben didn’t want to say anything when he saw how hurt Elliot was, but he knew that if he didn’t take this
opportunity to make Elliot give up on Avery, he would soon find a way to help Avery dodge the bullet.
“Elliot, Avery has never cared about your feelings. Think about all the things she has done so far, she
has been placing herself first. She knows how to manipulate you and she has succeeded.”
As no one could get in touch with Avery, everyone who knew her was having a panic attack.
Tammy held onto her phone and frantically tried to explain to Jun, “that woman in the video is definitely
not Avery! Avery was in Caesar Hotel that day because the thief used my phone and messaged her!
The thief tricked her into going to the hotel!”
“Yeah? Did the thief trick her into sleeping with him as well? According to the video, she seems to enjoy
it though!”
“Jun Hertz! What are you saying?!” Tammy’s face was flushing in rage.
“That’s not Avery!”
“Who is it, then? Nora? Nora isn’t pregnant, though. The woman in the video was heavily pregnant,”
Jun tried to reason with her, “I don’t want to believe that it is Avery, but that’s her voice!”
Tammy’s eyes reddened. “The thief tricked Avery into going to the hotel that day! They even gave her
sedative to put her to sleep. I was the one who accompanied Avery to a bodycheck in the hospital. She
didn’t want Elliot to worry and asked me to keep it a secret!”
“I see. Then the sedative they used on her might be aphrodisiac as well.”
“…I told you that isn’t Avery!” Tammy burst into tears.
“Tammy Lynch, can you just grow up already? If you really don’t think that’s Avery, why are you even
crying?” Jun said calmly, “I can believe her for your sake, but Elliot won’t, because it’s Avery we are
talking about!”
An hour later, all videos related to Avery had been completely removed from the internet; screenshots
and wordings related to the video were also banned. However, this could not stop the netizen’s
curiosity. ‘How much did Avery spend to stop the speculation? It sure is nice to be rich!’
