Chapter 678

This was the decision that Avery made after careful consideration.

Tammy very quickly accepted her decision.

“I support you, Avery. If it were me, I don’t think I’d be able to open up my clothes in front of a bunch of
strangers either. You didn’t do anything wrong, so why do you need to prove anything?” she said.

“You can make a police report, though. Let the police prove your innocence for you.” Avery accepted
Tammy’s suggestion.

That evening, the police issued a statement online. The post stated that police investigations revealed
that the woman in the explicit video that went viral recently was not Avery Tate, and that he case was
under further investigation at the moment.

Once the statement was released , Eric immediately reposted it on his own social media page with the
caption: [The internet is not beyond the law. The truth needs to be known!]

His fans quickly reposted his post and spread the news.

The mountain of public opinion that was pressing down on Avery instantly collapsed.

As Chelsea scrolled through social media and saw many of the users that cursed at Avery before
issuing apologies to her, she was filled with a mess of feelings.

D*mn it!

All it took was one word from that little brat, Layla, for her carefully orchestrated plan to be shattered!

This feeling was worse than being punched in the face!



When her phone suddenly rang, she thought it was Nora and did not want to answer, but the relentless
ringtone was so noisy that it gave her a headache.

Chelsea picked up her phone, saw Wanda’s name and immediately answered the call.

“You were too soft on her, Chelsea.” Wanda imparted her own experience as she said, “After I got her
mother killed, she still can’t touch me. You have to be ruthless when it’s called for! Of course, you can’t
do it yourself.”

Chelsea took a cold breath and said, “Of course I won’t do it myself. I’m not an idiot.”

“I know you’re not. You managed to stay by Elliot Foster’s side all these years, so I’m sure you’re
smarter than me,” Wanda snickered.

“Spend a bit more money and hire people who don’t care about their lives to work for you.”

“Recommend some to me!” Chelsea said.

“I don’t have many people I can rely on by my side.”

“Sure,” Wanda responded.

“I’ll look into it for you.”

At seven in the evening, the lights in the president’s office at Sterling Group were bright as day.

Elliot stood by the window and watched as the sky gradually turned dark while the lights in the city
began to sparkle.

His eyes were covered by a layer of frost and emanating coldness.

“Ben went to see Avery, Sir,” Chad said when he walked in and stood behind Elliot.



“He went to apologize to her.”

Elliot’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. He turned around, and obsidian black eyes were cold as ice.

“This is why Avery hates me,” he said.

Chad lowered his head and said, “Sir, Avery might have been wronged this time, but I don’t think you’re
guilty of anything.”

“Eric Santos spoke up for Avery during a live stream this afternoon. Even he could do something like
that for her, but I didn’t do anything.” Elliot said as he reflected.

“It’s not Avery’s fault she doesn’t love me. It’s my own fault.”

“You believed Avery at the beginning, Sir. Ben was the one who got too worked up and kept forcing
you…” Chad comforted him.

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t be blaming himself so much right now.”

“That’s all just excuses. If I truly trusted Avery, I wouldn’t waver no matter who forced me.”

“You didn’t completely listen to Ben, though. He even complained to me because of this. He said you
gave your soul to Avery and that you were a lost cause… When Ben gets back, you should go and see
Avery to talk things out!” Chad suggested.

“If I went to see her, it’d be like putting my face on a silver platter for her to slap.”

“Once she slaps you and gets it out of her system, it’ll be fine. You’d be suffering more if you didn’t go
and see her.”

Chad’s words made Elliot feel even more depressed. Meanwhile, at the Starry River Villa.
