When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 653
Avery held onto her phone thoughtfully.
She could sense Ben’s change in attitude towards her. He had always been polite with her, but he sounded as though he was reluctant to talk to her and appeared to despise her in the phone call just now.
Was it because she was in Caesar Hotel the night before? But she hadn’t done anything in the hotel, so why would Ben be angry with her? Perhaps he thought that it was inappropriate for her to be in a hotel on her own?
Up until this point, Avery still couldn’t make sense of why the thief would call her to the hotel. The thief had not done anything to her and simply put her to sleep with46 sedatives.
She went to the hospital for a check-up the day before and luckily, the dose was minimal and had no effect on her body.
Meanwhile, in Sterling34 Group.
Chelsea brought a cup of coffee and set it down before Elliot.
“Elliot, I talked to Ben just now,” she said, “he thinks that you are giving too much and getting too little in return; aside from that, your work is being delayed because of her all thecd time…”
“It can’t be because of that,” Elliot scowled and argued, “there has to be another reason that causes his sudden hatred towards Avery.”
Chelsea suddenly felt a little scared as she studied the distrustful expression on Elliot’s handsome9e face.
No matter the time and occasion, this was a man who remained highly alert and defensive; it was extremely difficult to lie to him.
“I heard that you were in a gathering with him last night?” Elliot looked up and stared sharply at23 Chelsea.
“Yes. I wasn’t feeling so well last night, so I asked for his help to keep my client’s company. Both of us had a bit too much to drink.”
“Nothing else happened?” Elliot stared at her face, trying to determine if she was lying.
“Nothing… Elliot, why don’t you get back to work first? Once the two of you calm down, you should talk.” Worried that Elliot would notice something was wrong, Chelsea changed the topic and said, “by the way, Nora’s injury has mostly recovered, so I will tell her to come to work tomorrow.”
Elliot turned his attention back to the computer screen. “Go back to work.”
Chelsea stepped out of his office and the mask she had been wearing on her face cracked. Despite the fact that Nora had saved Elliot and that she looked far more beautiful than Avery, Elliot did not waver.

‘Does he not even care about women’s faces? But what if Avery’s face is ruined? Will he still love her then?’ She thought.
A week later, the entertainment show that Layla and Eric had gone on was aired. Because of how popular Eric was, the show was instantly the talk of the town and Layla became famous because of it as well.
Layla was adorable-looking and though she was not particularly lively, she was sharp tongued. As soon as the show was aired, she instantly became the sweetheart of the country.
‘I want a daughter like that! Her parents must be really good-looking! Layla is so pretty!’
‘Not only is she pretty, she is so cool as well! She’s so smart! I love her! Ohhh! This makes me want to have my own daughter!’
‘Wake up! You can’t give birth to a baby as cute as Layla!’
‘It’s not an exaggeration to say that Layla looks much better than some actresses, is it?’
‘How can you even compare Layla to those plastics? Set Layla apart from them! Hmph!;
As Layla became famous on the internet, some of the netizens began researching her parents. However, the production team was extremely discreet about this, so no one could find any information despite their effort.
Coincidentally, a sex tape of a couple appeared on the internet. The resolution of the video was poor but it was clear enough for one to notice that the woman on the video was naked and had dollar bills all over her body.
The side of her face was directed at the camera and everyone could tell that it was Avery; aside from that, her swollen belly and her moaning voice were further proof that it was her.
