Chapter 1090
Avery and Elliot had agreed before that, even if Henry exposed everything, they would still proceed with the wedding.
Elliot’s current mental state broke Avery’s heart. She wanted to proceed with the wedding, but she did not want to force him to do it.
The guests were all his friends, but it was difficult to say if everyone would treat him as if he was a monkey at a circus now. Avery’s tears dropped onto Elliot’s trousers. He watched her sad expression and said hoarsely, “Don’t cry.” Avery’s reason returned upon hearing his voice.
“I won’t cry. There’s nothing to cry about,” she said, then put the bowl of water away and picked out a new suit from the closet.
“Now that everything’s out in the open, there’s no reason for us to be worried about it anymore.” She placed the suit on the bed, then began to unbutton Elliot’s shirt. His shirt was not dirty, but it was wrinkled.
She did not want to see him wearing wrinkled clothes.
For years, Elliot had always been a dashing man of wealth and noble status. Even if everyone was calling him a murderer now, he was still the same cool and elegant Elliot Foster in Avery’s eyes.
“Don’t listen to what the others are saying, Elliot. None of that has anything to do with us. We will get married and live a happy life together…” At this point, the rest of Avery’s words turned into a lump in her throat.
She unbuttoned his shirt and saw that he was covered in bruises.
The tears that she had forced herself to hold back rolled down her cheeks once again at the sight of his bruised body.
How dare that bunch of disrespectful b*st*rds do this to Elliot Foster?! They deserved to die!
“Does it hurt?” Avery’s fingers trembled as they fell on his bruises. “Don’t cry. I promise you that none of this will affect our wedding.” Elliot’s reason returned at the touch of Avery’s tears.
It was just as she had said. Henry had already shown all of his cards.
Nothing worse could happen now.
“That’s right! Other than you, I don’t want to be with anyone else for the rest of my life, Elliot. Even if you’re the cruelest, most despicable man in the world, it is what it is!” Avery gazed at Elliot’s determined eyes through her tears. “Wait here. I’ll get some medicine.”
She turned FPUMmsac wiped the tears off her face.
The moment she walked out of the master bedroom, everyone turned to her and approached
her.
“How’s Elliot doing, Avery? Is he alright?” “Is the wedding still on? The ceremony is supposed to start in half an hour.”
“The two of you have come a long way, Avery. Don’t let what’s happening out there influence you. Everything that happened before is in the past. All that matters is that he’s a good man to you now.”
Avery listened quietly to everyone’s comforting words. She nodded her head and said, “We’re fine. The wedding will go on. I’m just going to get him some medicine.” “Stay here. I’ll go get it,” Mike said, then strode out. Chad ran after him to get the medicine. “Henry Foster sure is ambitious,” Chad said as he complained to Mike about the news he had heard. “I heard that he asked Mr. Foster for a share of Sterling Group. Isn’t he greedy?” “It was not easy for him to get something on Elliot. If he doesn’t spill it now, he might not get the chance again in the future.” “My boss built the company from the ground up by himself. It’s his blood, sweat, and tears. He definitely won’t give in to him! If it was that easy to threaten my boss, the company would have been split up a long time ago!”
“You keep calling him your boss. He murdered someone before. Don’t you find that scary at all?” Mike teased coldly.
