The reality of it finally hit Jun.
"What now? Would Elliot have to go and beg for her forgiveness?"
"I'll go check on them after work," Chad said.
"Should I get my girlfriend to go see Avery?"
"Who's your girlfriend?"
Jun cleared his throat and said, "She's Avery's best friend... She was the one who revealed everything to Avery. I swear... If I didn't like her that much, I would've broken up with her last night!"
Chad sighed and said, "You're so good at picking your girlfriend!" 1
"I was scammed. How was I supposed to know that they were so smart?"
"It looks like we're going to have to keep our mouths shut in front of you from now on. You're no longer one of us."
"I'll make sure to stand my ground!" Jun said bitterly." For Elliot's sake!"
That evening, Ben and Chad arrived at the Foster mansion to see Elliot.
"Master Elliot came home around five in the morning ... His bodyguard said that he spent the night in the rain outside of Madam Avery's mother's house. They only managed to get him home after he passed out around four in the morning," Mrs. Cooper reported." He's in his room right now. He had a fever in the morning that broke in the afternoon, but he's heating up again now."
Ben and Chad did not know what to say.
When had Elliot Foster ever been in this sort of pathetic situation?
He actually spent a night out in the rain for Avery Tate!
"The storm last night was brutal," Ben said with furrowed brows.
"It got worse after midnight. The lake in my neighborhood had overflowed," Chad said.
"Nobody would be able to pull through a night in that storm no matter how healthy they are!"
Chad turned to Mrs. Cooper, then asked, "Where's Miss Avery? Is she not home?"
Mrs. Cooper shook her head helplessly and said, "She won't answer my calls. She always used to pick up when I called. It looks like this fight between them was especially bad."
At that moment, the doctor walked down from the second floor.
