Chapter 677

Since that was the case, Eric could only take action first, then let Avery find out about it.

“Don’t take Layla for an ignorant child,” Eric argued.

“Even if she didn’t know about this now, she will find out about it later. Didn’t you notice that her mental

capacity is way beyond your expectations?”

“She will forever be a child that needs to be protected in my eyes.” Avery refused to accept his

reasoning

“I’m sorry,” Eric apologized once again.

“Avery, I just wanted to do my best. With Layla’s current popularity, someone would definitely dig up her

family background. Instead of letting her find out about this from an outsider in the future, isn’t it better

to make things clear46 now?”

Avery felt like there was a lump in her throat and could not say a word.

“The live stream is almost over. Let’s talk when I send Layla home later,” Eric said, then hung up the

phone.

Avery held onto her phone and sat on the couch.

Layla’s words during the live stream echoed in her mind.

Ever since Avery’s belly grew, Layla liked lying on it to listen to what was going on inside. She also

liked talking to her little brother who was inside of Avery. So, Layla would know very well what Avery’s

belly button looked like.She never noticed it before herself.

Naturally, she did not pay attention to the belly button of the woman in the video 23 either.

Avery rushed up the stairs with her phone and returned to her room.

Two hours later, Eric arrived at the villa with Layla.

Mike and Tammy were also there.

“Why didn’t you go to work, Uncle Mike?” asked Layla. Then she flashed a sweet smile at Tammy and

said, “Aunt Tammy, are you here to see Mommy?”

“I am!” Tammy said.

“I watched your live stream earlier, so I came to see your Mommy’s belly button! She’s still sleeping,

though.”

“Oh, I’m tired, too! I feel like sleeping,” Layla said as she yawned.

Eric immediately carried her upstairs.

At that moment, Avery appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

Mike and Tammy approached her together and helped her over to the couch.

“Is what Layla said true, Avery? Surely you’ve made a comparison with the woman in the video?”

Tammy peeled a banana and handed it over to Avery.

Avery took a bite of the banana, then turned to Mike and said, “Don’t tell me you came back because of

this, too?”

Mike’s pale blue eyes blinked.

“That’s right! This is way too interesting! It’s more important than work, so I came home to take a look.”

“Leave,” Avery said mercilessly. “I definitely won’t show it to you.”

Tammy pushed Mike toward the front door and said, “This should tell you who Avery’s true best friend

is, right?”

Mike was disgruntled as he said, “You’re breaking my heart, Avery!”

“I’m not an exhibitionist,” Avery said.

Once Mike left, Tammy returned to the living room.

“I compared it, and it was indeed different. My daughter’s observational skills sure are meticulous,”

Avery said, answering Tammy’s earlier question.

This was solid evidence.

Tammy hugged Avery in excitement and said, “Avery! You can finally prove your innocence now!”

“Do you expect me to hold a press conference and reveal my belly to the world?” Avery’s voice was

cool and calm.

“I won’t do that.”

Tammy released her and said, “They won’t believe you if you don’t do that.”

“I would feel violated if I did that,” Avery said.

When Layla said that the woman in the video wasn’t me, I saw how calm and collected she was. I

believe that she won’t be affected by gossip.
