Sterling Group.
After Elyette got to the office, he drank a cup of black coffee and still had a severe headache.
He lost sleep last night.
Haze is his and Averie’s daughter.
From Averie’s reaction last night, he got this definite result. If he knew the truth back then, he and Averie would never have reached the point of divorce.
His heart, which hasn’t hurt for a long time, has been hurting all night because of this misunderstanding.
When Chad came in to report his work, he glanced at the coffee cup on his table and looked at his complexion.
“Boss, did you rest last night?” Chad saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and said, “Why don’t I take you back to rest!”
“I don’t want to go back.” Elyette said hoarsely.” As long as I go back, I will think of every bit of time I used to be with Averie.”
It was an invisible torture.
“Chad, Haze is Averie’s daughter and I.” Elyette explained the reason that had troubled him all night, “Averie returned to Aryadelle this time to find Haze.”
Chad was shocked and incoherent: “Why? Is that so? Mike didn’t tell me…I thought Averie came back to Aryadelle because she graduated with a Ph.D., so she came back to see the child…”
“I saw her last night. Elyette pursed his thin lips and rubbed his brows with his long fingers, “If it wasn’t for Haze, she probably wouldn’t have returned to Aryadelle.”
“I asked Mike, and Mike said that Averie never said that she would never return to Aryadelle.” Chad said, paused, “Boss, how do you feel when you see her again?”
“How do you think I should feel?” Elyette retorted.
“For example, has she become more beautiful or something… I feel that she is more and more charming.” Chad boasted.
Elyette: “That’s because she permed her hair.”
“Oh…” Chad scratched his head, “Since it is clear that Haze is actually your child, then the two of you…”
Elyette: “Averie made it clear that she wants to keep the ex-wife and ex-husband with me. “
“Are you talking so directly?” Chad smiled awkwardly, “Then you want to find Haze together?”
“Averie is looking for her.” Elyette looked gloomy, “I can’t do it anymore. Please!”
A group of crows floated over Chad’s head.
“Boss, I can actually give you a stroke.” Chad made an assertion and sat down in the chair opposite him, “When there was an accident in the Jobin family, you and Brother Ben went to Yonroeville to find Haze, and Averie happened to be at this time. Something happened to the eyes. From your standpoint, it must be more important to find Haze, but from Averie’s standpoint, she didn’t know that Haze was her biological daughter at the time, so she was naturally angry that you went to Haze.”
“I never knew she had a problem with her eyes.” Elyette retorted him, “If she had told me on the phone that she had lost her eyesight, I would definitely not have gone to Yonroeville.”
“Are you sure you didn’t know about her illness?” Chad didn’t think it was necessary for Elyette to lie, but he still had to make sure.
Elyette frowned, “If I knew, do you think I could leave her and go to Yonroeville? She told you that I know, there must be a misunderstanding. I went to check the recording of our call at the time, and she was not there. She told me on the phone that she was ill. That’s why I insisted on going to Yonroeville.”
Chad did not expect the boss investigated it in private.
“Can you show me the recording?” Chad wanted to listen to this recording, not to satisfy his gossip mentality, but to use this recording to block Mike’s mouth.
When Averie’s eyes had an accident, Elyette didn’t come back to her to take care of her immediately, and went to Yonroeville to find Haze. Mike called Elyette a sc*mbag more than once.
Even Chad once thought the boss was a sc*mbag.
But for more than two years, the boss has been taking care of children in addition to work, and has not shown the appearance of a sc*mbag, so Chad’s heart has been shaken again.
“What do you want to record?” Elyette didn’t want to share such private things.
“I want to know, I have always believed in you, and my intuition is definitely correct.” Chad knew that it would be difficult for him to hand over such private things, but the words had already been said, and there was no way to take them back, “I don’t believe that you have little affection for Averie. I’m not righteous.”
“But Averie thinks I’m that kind of person.” Every time Elyette thinks of Averie’s cold face on the day of divorce, he is in a bad mood, “You can trust me, why can’t Averie?”
“Maybe she does have a relationship with her. You said something happened to her eyes… She wouldn’t deliberately throw dirty water on you. After all, she gave up custody of Layla and Robert, she must be heartbroken to make such a decision.” Chad doesn’t believe that Elyette is a scmbag who is ruthless, let alone that Averie is a scmbag who abandons her husband and children.
Elyette opened the drawer, took out a USB flash drive, and handed it to Chad and said, “The recording is in it, you can listern and later bring it back to me.”
Chad was flattered and immediately picked up the USB flash drive, “Okay. I promise not to leak it out.”
Chad took the USB flash drive and went back to his office.
After closing the office door, he connected the USB flash drive to the laptop, opened the USB flash drive, and there was only one audio file, The call recording.
Chad put on his headphones and clicked the play button.
The scene at the airport three years ago came alive in Chad’s mind.
After a while, Chad returned the USB flash drive to Elyette.
“Boss, I’ve finished listening. But why is there no sound from Averie?” Chad asked his own doubts, “I could hear her crying at first, but then she didn’t even cry anymore.”
Elyette also thought about this problem at the time. And he specifically asked people from the communication company what was going on in this situation.
The person from the communication company replied that the recording was the full version and was not damaged. The sudden absence of sound may be because the other party put the phone aside and stopped listening to the call.
“Maybe she was too sad, so she walked away.” Elyette guessed, “I don’t know the specific situation. But this recording is fine.”
“Boss, why didn’t you ask her to explain clearly?” Chad felt that since there was a misunderstanding in this matter, he should explain it clearly, “Averie has been blaming you all the time.”
Elyette rubbed his eyebrows, “When I retrieved this recording, I had fired Vice President Locklyn and hired Norah Jones, and established a new company in Bridgedale. The previous thing can be said to be a misunderstanding, and the latter thing is all instructed by me. She will never forgive me no matter what.”
Chad: “It’s not that you fired Vice President Locklyn, It was Vice President Locklyn who was unable to do the job himself and resigned voluntarily. Moreover, theoretically speaking, it is not wrong for you to expand the Tate Industries. Besides, wouldn’t the Tate Industries be given to Robert and Layla in the future?”
“Chad, You go out first.” Elyette didn’t want to continue talking about this topic.
For more than two years, he has forced himself not to think about what is right and what is wrong, because it seems that everything is wrong, and it seems that everything is right.
Chad walked out of the president’s office and took out his mobile phone. He secretly copied a copy of the recording in the USB flash drive to his mobile phone.
He promised that Elyette would not leak the recording, but if it was used to slap Mike in the face, it should not be considered a leak.
At Night.
Chad passed by the winery and bought a bottle of good wine to go home.
When he got home, he called Mike and told him to come back early for a drink.
Mike is addicted to alcohol, and as long as his friends call to drink, he is always hard to refuse.
Half an hour later, Mike came to Chad’s house.
“What’s so good about today? You actually called me to drink!” Mike was in high spirits. Usually, he took the initiative to call Chad to drink, but Chad hardly ever took the initiative.
“It’s a good thing for me, but not necessarily for you.” Chad opened the chair for him and said straight to the point, “Didn’t you always say that my boss is a scmbag? I was almost persuaded by you, and I thought He’s a scmbag. But today, my boss showed the proof!”
“What proof?” The smile on Mike’s face disappeared, he looked at him solemnly, and at the same time extended his hand to him, “Show me.”
“Let’s go first. Review.” Chad sat down in the dining chair and poured him a glass of wine, “Did you tell me before that when my boss went to look for Yonroeville to find Haze, Averie called him, Said she couldn’t see. Is that the case?”
Mike took the glass and took a sip: “Yes.”
“Haze is the biological daughter of my boss and Averie, you should have known about this a long time ago. Right?” Chad said this, his expression instantly became cold, “Why didn’t you tell me about this?!”
“Hey, this is the evidence you said?” Mike put down the glass, “What kind of evidence can this be? Averie only recently found out that Haze is her biological daughter!”
“The evidence I said is not this!” Chad also put down his glass heavily, “You b*stard, every time I know something, I will tell you the first time but you are deliberately trying to hide such an important matter from me!”
“It’s not about you and her, what is this important thing to you?” Mike was puzzled, “Besides, even if I didn’t tell you, didn’t you know it so quickly? Who told you? Maybe Elyette also knows?”
Chad glared at him: “My boss told me!”
“Oh, how did he know?” Mike raised his glass and sipped it. Taking a sip of wine, “This guy is really well- informed! But no matter how well-informed he is, he is still not well-informed. Otherwise, why didn’t he know that Haze was their child three years ago?”
“But I don’t know why Haze is Averie.” Chad asked him, “Do you know the specifics?”
“Xander’s ghost.” Mike said, “I used to think that Xander’s death was so innocent and pitiful, but now that I know the truth, it is clear that he brought it on himself. He was too naive!”
“Xander?”
“All this is a chain reaction.” Mike narrowed his eyes and said, “When Averie was in Yonroeville, she found a tumor growing in her brain, because she couldn’t trust the doctor in Yonroeville, so she came to Xander. As a result, Xander found out that she was pregnant when he checked her. Xander didn’t want to force her to abort the child, so he chose to transfer the embryo. Who is not good, but gave it to Rebecca. Can Rebecca keep her alive?”
Chad was shocked: “This Xander is indeed too impulsive! How can you not tell Averie about this kind of thing?”
