Chapter 865 Tammy: (I don’t blame Elliot, Avery. What happened to me had nothing to do with him. Besides, he
wouldn’t have been able to retrieve his bargaining chip if it weren’t for Chelsea’s help this time. I can understand
that.)
Avery: (Sometimes, being too understanding makes it easier for you to be wronged.] Tammy: [Do you know why I’ve
come around? It’s not that I’m that forgiving, but it’s because Chelsea’s now disfigured. Her face will never recover.
She has to spend the rest of her life with that hideous face. If I became like that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to live
for another second longer. She won’t be any better off than we were before.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvery: [He who is unjust is doomed to destruction.] Tammy: (That’s right! Ben texted me just now and told me I
must attend Jun’s wedding. What do you think he meant by that?]
Avery: (Do you want to go? Go if you do, don’t go if you don’t. Don’t get influenced by him.) Tammy: (I wanted to go
at first, but I got so mad today that I don’t feel like going anymore.) Avery: (Don’t make a decision yet, then. Think
about it again once you’ve calmed down.] Tammy: (Okay. When are you coming back, Avery? Hayden and Layla
need to go back to school soon, right?]
Avery: (Yeah, I’ll decide after checking on the patient’s post-op recovery. I’ll get Mike to take the kids back first. We
can’t affect their studies.] Tammy: (Let me know once you’ve decided when to come back, then.]
Avery: [I will.]
Avery put her phone down, then reached up and rubbed her tired eyes. “Who were you texting? What’s with that
stern look on your face?” Mike teased.
“It was Tammy. Who else do you think it could be?” Avery shut her eyes, then leaned back on the seat and rested.
“I see. Has Elliot contacted you yet?” Mike asked nosily. “He didn’t really betray you this time, right? He didn’t marry
Chelsea, but he was being threatened instead. You know the reason behind it,ed too…” “Who told you to stand up
for him?” Avery opened her eyes and glared at him. “Aren’t I just speaking the truth?” Mike shrugged. “I swear
nobody told me to stand up for him. I just thought about things from his point of view. Someone as proud as him
definitely wouldn’t be able to accept their private matters beingle exposed.” “You’re right,” Avery said agreeably.
“He would rather hurt me and the children just to maintain his reputation. Of course, there was nothing wrong with

Mike smacked himself on the lips, then said, “I better not talk about him. The more I do, the more you hate94 him.”
“My hatred for him is constant and won’t be affected by external factors,” Avery said fairly.
“Got it. Get some rest. I’ll wake you when we get18 home.”
That evening in Aryadelle, Ben arrived at the Foster mansion and brought with him the news of Charlie Tierney’sd3
death.
“I didn’t expect Chelsea to become this ruthless, Elliot.” Ben opened up a bottle of wine, then poured himself a
glass and took a sip. “Charlie was begging on his knees, but she didn’t waver at all. I suddenly find her quite scary.”
“She’s not the scary one.” Elliot’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. Then, he said chillingly, “I was the one who
told her that, between her and her brother, only one couldcb live.”
