Chapter 652
When His Eyes Opened
When Chelsea heard that Ben and Elliot were fighting, she hurried over and by the time she arrived,
the fight had stopped because Chad got between them to break them apart.
Chad had been accidentally struck for trying to stop the fighting; his spectacles were shattered and
there was blood on his face.
âOutside, now, Ben!â Chelsea commanded coldly before dragging him outside.
Once Ben was out of the room, Chad glanced over atElliot.
It had been Elliot who was hitting Ben and Ben did not fight back at all, which brought Chad to the
conclusion that Ben had somehow provoked Elliot, or Elliot would not have attacked him. However, the
two had been best friends for years and had never even argued much, let alone physically harming one
another.
âMr. Foster, what happened?â Chad asked as he white-knuckled through the pain on his face.
â Did Ben do something? Did he betray you?â
Elliot clenched his fists and went back to sit down on the chair.
âGet out!â
His head was throbbing as he struggled to understand what had happened between Ben and Avery. He
would not have been so furious if only Ben could tell him what was wrong with Avery.
Chad strode out of the office and walked straight towards Ben and Chelsea.
âEverything I said to you last night just went down the gutter!â Chelsea scolded Ben.
âAre you trying to make everyone aware of what happened? What good does this do for Elliot? Iâm so
disappointed in you!â
Ben took out his phone to check the wounds on his face with the camera, and did not seem affected by
Chelseaâs words.
âI canât get over it unless I spill it all out,â he said pathetically, âdonât worry. I didnât mention last night.â
Chelsea sighed a breath of relief. âYour face is swollen. You should go get your wounds looked at.â
âOh. You are not coming with me?â Ben asked gloomily.
âYou got what you deserve, so no,â she said, before turning to walk towards Elliotâs office.
Ben sighed and stepped towards the elevator, while Chad caught up to him.
Chad was also wounded on the face, so the two went to have their injuries treated together. The
atmosphere was slightly awkward inside the elevator.
âBen, whatâs going on with the two of you? I asked Mr. Foster about it just now, but he wonât say a
thing,â Chad asked gingerly, âwhatâs so severe that canât be resolved by just talking with one another?
Fighting would affect your friendship.â
Ben did not want to tell Chad about it, as he felt that Chad was on Averyâs side in some way.
The elevator arrived at the first floor and the door slowly opened.
Benâs phone rang and he took it out to realize that it was a call from Avery.He had called her the night
before but her phone had been switched off, and she had now called him backHe accepted the call and
heard Averyâs casual voice saying, âI didnât get your call last night, Ben. Is there something you need?â
âI saw a woman last night in Caesar Hotel and she looked a lot like you, so I called you to make sure,â
Ben said emotionlessly.
Chad was surprised by how cold Benâs attitude was towards Avery.
âI was in that hotel last night,â she said.
Just as she thought Ben was going to ask why she was in the hotel, he said, âthen thereâs nothing.â
With that, he hung up.
Chad was confused.
âBen, I know that you are in a fight with Mr. Foster, but you donât have to vent your anger on Avery, do
you?â
âYou have it the other way around, but donât ask me why I am in a fight with Elliot because of her. Donât
ask,â Ben said in a cold tone.
âOh. I wonât ask.â Chad didnât know what happened, but judging from Benâs reaction, the situation was
bad.
