Speak of the devil.
A taxi stopped in front of the yard and her bodyguard got out, before helping Avery out of the car.
The blinding lights in the yard shone down upon the colorful figures of the guests and Avery immediately spotted Elliot in the crowd.
He was dressed in black, holding a wine glass with one hand while placing another arm around a woman dressed in a white dress, who leaned against him with a joyful smile.
The two were such a beautiful couple that they looked as though they were made for one another.
The bodyguard followed her eyes and recognized Elliot. He cleared his throat and said, "Why don't we just stay out of this, Miss. Tate? Going in there is pretty much like looking for trouble ourselves. He seems quite content with his new wife!"
As soon as he said the words, Avery started striding towards the yard; more precisely, towards Elliot.
The bodyguard could only force himself to follow, only to be asked to wait in the companion area as soon as he entered the yard. He sat down on a chair and with the corner of his eyes, he saw that Avery was trying to drag Elliot away by the arm.
The bodyguard gaped. If Avery acted this way, Gary's bodyguards would surely chase her out.
"So you are Avery Tate?" Ruby grabbed onto Elliot’s arm and pulled it back. "Why are you dragging my husband away?"
"He is my husband, too." Avery glared coldly at her.
