Which meant that she could go into delivery at any moment; however, what had happened was a rope around the baby’s neck that could potentially kill it.
If Avery was living such a messy private life, it can’t be certain if Elliot would still want the child.
Chad stood before the office door, unable to summon the courage to step in, as he couldn’t bear to witness Elliot’s reaction.
On his way to find Ben, he spotted Ben stepping out of the elevator.
“Ben, have you seen the news? “ Chad asked awkwardly, “the news about Avery.”
“What do you think?” Ben scowled furiously.
“I found out a week ago! Why else would I be that angry?”
Chad was taken by surprise.
“How did you find out, Ben?”
“Why don’t you go ask Mike? Considering how close he is to Avery, he must have known everything!”
Chad felt slightly dazed. Every time Mike mentioned Avery to him, he would make it sound as though Avery was a little girl that needed to be taken care of. Mike couldn’t lie, which meant that not even Mike knew that Avery had been fooling around in private.
Chad returned to his own office and calledge Mike.
Mike picked up the phone immediately and blurted out, “I know what you are about to say. I saw the video. F*ck it, that’s definitely not Avery! That woman’s moan was too lecherous! Avery couldn’t possibly do that!”
“Have you heard her moaning before, and if so, how? Have you slept with her before?!” Chad deadpanned.
