Chapter 856
When His Eyes Opened
It was eight at night in Aryadelle when a social media post exploded online. It was a status update on
Charlie Tierneyâs private account.
The post read: (Elliot Foster has a psychological disorder.)
It was a short post, but it was enough to leave everyone in horror.
The status was posted on a private account, but online users very quickly used the information from the
post to find out that the account belonged to Charlie Tierney.
Elliot Foster was about to get married to Charlie Tierneyâs sister, Chelsea Tierney. Since he revealed
such appalling news online during such a crucial moment, was the wedding still happening?
After the post went viral, Charlieâs friends called him and told him about the news. Charlieâs clenched
his teeth and hissed, âI havenât been on social media in forever! I didnât post anything online!â
Then, he logged into the account that he had left alone for years and saw the shocking status update.
Charlieâs blood boiled as he stared at the post and his mind turned into a chaotic mess.
Who did this?
Who was the one who logged into his social media account and announced this secret online? Charlie
immediately deleted the post, then posted an explanation: (My account was hacked. I was not the one
who posted the previous update. A police report has been made!)
After he posted the status, he immediately called the police.
However, it was already too late.
His status update had already been screenshotted and spread all over the internet⦠When Elliot saw
the post, his deep-set eyes were filled with disbelief.
If Charlie was not drunk out of his mind and lost all of his reason, he would never have the guts to
announce such a thing online.
This secret was Charlieâs bargaining chip against Elliot. Now that Charlie had exposed him, Elliot no
longer had to endure his threats. His phone rang soon after. It was Charlie.
The moment Elliot answered the phone, Charlie frantically rambled, âI wasnât the one who posted that
status, Elliot! My account was hacked! The website can prove my innocence! Also, Iâve already called
the police. Iâve bribed all the news outlets and Iâll clear this whole thing up! Donât worry about getting
affected by this! Iâll deal with this!â
Charlie was worried that Elliot would beat him at his own game.
After all, the news that Elliot suffered from a psychological disorder had now spread across the country.
This matter might affect Elliotâs reputation, but it wonât affect his position as the head of Sterling Group.
Charlie knew that Elliot had killed his own father, but he had no proof. As long as he had no proof, Elliot
could sue him for defamation. Charlie was not willing to take that risk.
âHow much patience do you think I have left, Tierney?â Elliot asked hoarsely. Charlieâs face flushed as
he said, âIt really wasnât me! Wouldnât I be embarrassing myself if I did that?â
âWho else did you tell about this?â Elliot asked casually.
Charlie pondered quickly, then answered, âChelsea! Iâve only told Chelsea about it! It mustâve been her!
She doesnât want to marry you because she doesnât want to be ridiculed! She hacked into my account
and posted that status to pit us against each other! Donât worry, though. She has no proof! She can talk
her mouth off but nobody will believe her!â
Elliot listened to Charlieâs words and pondered silently. Chelsea did not do this.
She had a secret arrangement with him.
Chelsea would get back what was Elliotâs from Charlie, and Elliot would help her get the Tierney
fortune. At that moment, Elliotâs office doors burst open and Chad strode in.
