At that moment, the doctor walked down from the second floor.
“How’s he doing, Doc?” Ben asked.
“His fever still hasn’t broken,” replied the doctor. “If this goes on, he’s sure to get pneumonia. I’m afraid his lungs might have already been infected. I suggested taking him to the hospital, but he won’t listen.
“How could we allow that?” Mrs. Cooper said ftantically. “I’ll call Madarn Avery again. Master Elliot never listens to anyone but her.”
Ben frowned, then made his way out of the house.
Chad trailed along behind him and said, “What if she doesn’t pick up the phone again?”
“I’m going to look for her,” Ben said.
“Do you know where she is?”
“She should be with Charlie Tierney right now. He seemed especially happy in his social media posts earlier today.”
“I’ll stay here while you go, then. If things go bad, I’ll just have to take Mr. Foster to the hospital by force.”
Ben nodded and left the mansion.
Chateau Juliet was one of Avonsville’s oldest and most expensive high-end restaurants.
Avery did not want to go, but her company’s management team insisted and eventually made her give in after half an hour of pestering.
It was not completely due to their persuasion that she decided to show up.
She was just tired of pretending and did not want to pass her bad mood onto her mother, so she figured it was better for her to stay out of the house for now.
Charlie placed a glass of apple juice in front of her.
Avery picked up the glass and took a sip.
Suddenly, the doors to the private room burst open.
Chelsea’s exquisite face appeared in the vision of everyone in the room.
She charged toward Avery with a raging fury.
“Are you enjoying the feeling of being pursued by two different men?” she said through gritted teeth. She picked up a glass of water from the table and splashed it onto Avery’s face.
Avery’s face was wet. Even though the water was warm, she felt chilly.
“Chelsea! What are you doing!” Charlie got up immediately, grabbed Chelsea’s arm, and pulled her aside.
“Charlie! Don’t stop me! I’m going to teach her a lesson tonight!” Chelsea’s eyes were red, and her sharp voice pierced through the entire private room.
Charlie snapped, “Have you lost your mind?!”
Chelsea had never been yelled at in public by Charlie, and she boiled with rage. Then, she pushed away Charlie’s hand, trying to attack Avery again.
Splash!
A glass of juice was splashed on her face.
Avery slammed the empty cup on the table, and she looked at the messy-faced Chelsea, and said, “If you want to bully me, at least make sure you’re capable of doing so.”
The crowd instantly fell into silence, and everyone’s eyes turned to Avery and Chelsea.
Avery was only splashed with a glass of warm water, and her face was still clean and clear but just wet. However, Chelsea was drenched in red watermelon juice, covering her face and hair…
Her originally delicate facial features now appeared particularly funny.
“Go on with your meal! I’ll leave first.” Avery wiped the water off her face with a tissue. After saying that, she strode out of the private room.
Chelsea wanted to chase after Avery, but Charlie grabbed her.
“Chelsea, aren’t you embarrassed enough?!”
“Hehe. You think that I’m humiliating you, right? Let me go!” Chelsea shook off his hand, tears streaming down her face.
She had just learned that Elliot had waited for Avery in the rain outside of Laura’s dilapidated rented residence all night. Even though his fever persisted, he refused to visit the hospital. Avery was treating the man she thought of as gold as mere dust, and Chelsea was in so much pain that she could not ignore it any longer. Hence, she had taken it out on Avery.
“Chelsea, calm down. Do you think the Chelsea I know would have acted that way?” Charlie’s rhetorical question made Chelsea stop crying.
Elliot did not like her, and now even Charlie looked down on her.
She felt abandoned by the world.
“I don’t think you’re humiliating me, but I’m just afraid you’ll regret it later. I told you many times that when dealing with enemies, you have to outsmart thern. Have you forgotten?” Charlie held her hand tightly and took her to the bathroom.
After the Tierney siblings went to the bathroom, the management of Tate Industries and Trust Capital looked at each other.
“Why did Chelsea and Miss Tate fight?” Someone from Trust Capital asked the one from Tate Industries.
“I don’t know! We don’t know anything about her private affairs!” A person from Tate Industries replied.
“Oh… It feels so complicated.”
“That’s right! I wonder if it’ll affect our cooperation.”
“Probably not. Mr. Tierney personally does the planning for this cooperation, and he really wants to facilitate it,” the person from Trust Capital said.
Everyone from Tate Industries breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”
Avery froze when she walked out of the restaurant. She truly felt the piercing chill of early winter, and as her hair was wet, her scalp tingled when a gust of night wind blew.
It started to rain at this time last night. Later, the rain had become heavier and heavier, and it rained all night. Avery sniffled.
It must have been cold for Elliot to have been standing out in the cold winter night.
A car stopped in the parking lot in front of the hotel. The door opened, and fun and Tammy got out of the vehicle. However, another car stopped in front of them both after thev got out o f the car.
It was Ben,
“Ben,” Jun greeted.
Ben asked, “What are you doing here?”
Jun replied, “I drove my girlfriend here to find Avery…”
While the two chatted, Tammy walked up to Avery and hugged her.
“I’m here for her too.” Ben squinted and looked at Avery who was not far away, “Why don’t I leave it to you here? It’s best to let her go to Elliot’s home.”
Jun answered, “Sure. Don’t worry. My girlfriend will handle it.”
Ben sneered. “If it weren’t for your girlfriend, neither of them would end up like this.”
Jun flushed in embarrassment. “My girlfriend just publicized the lie in advance”
Ben interrupted, “Forget it. It doesn’t make sense to discuss this now. I’ll go first.”
Jun nodded.
