Chapter 676

“Sir, I watched the video again. I zoomed into the woman’s belly button and printed it out!” Chad pulled
out a photo and handed it to Elliot.

“You must know what Avery’s belly button looks like, right? Take a look and compare them.”

When they first watched the video, they only focused on the woman’s looks, voice and pregnant belly.
None of them noticed the shape of her belly button.

They overlooked this point. Everyone’s belly button was shaped differently.

Whoever was impersonating Avery may be able to copy her looks, voice and appearance, but since
Avery had never exposed her body in public, that person had no way of copying her belly button.

Chad especially admired Layla.

A child was able to observe certain things that adults would easily34 overlook.

Elliot glanced at the photo Chad handed to him, then put it down.

“What do you think, Sir?” Chad thought that Elliot had figured it out.

However, Elliot’s brows furrowed as he asked, “Why do you think I would remember what her belly
button looks like?”

He might have slept with Avery, but who would go out of their way to notice someone’s belly button?

“Are you telling me you remember what Mike’s belly button looks like?” he asked as he stared at Chad.

Chad let out an embarrassed cough, then said, “I remember, because his belly button is pretty sexy…”



Elliot was speechless.

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned a little delicate.

“She has a C-section scar on her abdomen,” Elliot said after a moment of silence.

“My attention is always drawn to that scar, so I never noticed her belly button.”

Chad nodded in understanding, then said, “It’s too bad that the woman in the video had the area below
her belly button covered in cash… Sir, if you go see Avery right now and take a look for yourself, then
wouldn’t you have your answer?”

Elliot clenched his fists as a chill washed over his eyes.

“Do you think she’d let me see it? Do you have too much faith in me, or do you not know her that well?”

Chad’s lips pursed into a thin line.

He knew that Elliot and Avery had a fight over the video, but now that they have a clue, Avery could
use this to prove her innocence. Why wouldn’t they want to quickly solve this mystery?

“I don’t need to verify it,” Elliot said in a low, hoarse voice moments later.

“I believe Layla.”

If Layla said that the woman in the video was not her mother, then it was not her mother.

Layla would not lie.

Over at the Starry River Villa, Avery was watching the live stream the entire time.

When Eric mentioned her, she felt slightly dizzy.



If the matter with the video had not happened, she would not mind people finding out that she was
Layla’s mother.

She was not mentally prepared to let the children know about this right now.

However, Eric had brought up the matter during the live stream without discussing it with her. Not only
that, he even showed Layla that kind of video!

Avery was so furious that her blood pressure was rising. She turned off the live stream on her phone,
then dialed Eric’s number.

The moment Eric saw that Avery was calling, he immediately moved out of the camera shot.

Avery took a deep breath, then could not hold back and snapped loudly, “Eric Santos! What are you
doing?!”

Eric glanced over at Layla, then whispered softly, “I’m sorry I didn’t talk about this with you first…”

“That’s not it. Why did you show Layla that kind of video? She’s still a child! You’ve been getting more
and more insolent these days! You’ve been using the fact that Layla likes you to do things before any
type of discussion!” Avery complained.

She was right.

Eric was relying on Layla’s fondness of him, so he stopped discussing everything with Avery
beforehand.

This was because the result of any discussion with her would likely end up limiting his opinions.He
wanted to help her. If he discussed it with her, she would definitely refuse his help.
