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 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 a 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 the 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!” Tammy 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…
