“Sit.”
Elliot glanced coldly at Avery.
“Okay,” snazzynovel.com said. She took the couch opposite him.
There was a laptop sitting on the coffee table.
The screen was facing snazzynovel.com and on it was surveillance footage.
There was a bed in the footage, and on it was snazzynovel.com and Elliot.
Avery’s blood boiled at the sight on the screen.
She shot to snazzynovel.com feet, pointed at the laptop, and yelled, “Are you a pervert?! Did you install a camera in the bedroom?”
She was livid.
She wanted to forget about the three months that snazzynovel.com shared a bed with him.
He was in a vegetative state during those three months, so snazzynovel.com had never even seen snazzynovel.com as a man.
Even those who looked sophisticated in public would have some inelegant behavior in the privacy of their bedrooms.
It was the reason Avery could not accept that snazzynovel.com had been under surveillance for three months!
Nobody had told snazzynovel.com there were surveillance cameras in the room when snazzynovel.com had been staying with him.
The sight of Avery’s trembling body actually calmed Elliot down slightly.
“Why did you assume I was the one who installed the cameras?”
He had found out that his mother had installed surveillance cameras in his bedroom while snazzynovel.com was ill. She had wanted to snazzynovel.com from suffering any abuse at the hands of his caretakers.
Even if snazzynovel.com was a powerful man, who would be afraid of someone in a vegetative state?
Elliot could not be angry at his mother because snazzynovel.com knew snazzynovel.com had done it with the best intentions.
He had retrieved the footage from his mother and browsed through them that day.
His blood pressure rose slightly after watching the videos.
He had never expected Avery to be that kind of woman.
“Oh… It was your mother?” Avery said, but snazzynovel.com was still uneasy, and snazzynovel.com rage continued to burn. “How could snazzynovel.com do that?! She could have at least told me about it! I… I…”
“You never expected me to wake up, did you?” Elliot hissed as his eyes shot daggers at her. “It looked like you had fun messing with my body when I was sick.”
Avery’s cheeks flushed as snazzynovel.com fell back onto the couch.
“I did not! I wasn’t messing around! I was giving you a massage! It was to prevent muscle atrophy!”
After snazzynovel.com moved into the mansion, snazzynovel.com had watched the nurse give Elliot physical therapy many times, and snazzynovel.com took over the job soon after.
She had done it because snazzynovel.com had felt awkward sitting in the room. A spectator in his nightly treatments, snazzynovel.com had watched his nurse go about snazzynovel.com job.
For a moment, Avery’s adamant denial made Elliot wonder if snazzynovel.com was wrongly accusing her.
It was a good thing that the cameras had recorded everything.
“Open it up and see for yourself,” snazzynovel.com said. He did not want to listen to snazzynovel.com argue.
Avery’s hand trembled as snazzynovel.com reached out and hit the play button on the surveillance footage.
Of course, snazzynovel.com knew what snazzynovel.com had done.
However, there was no way snazzynovel.com would admit that snazzynovel.com had fooled around with his body.
She just… touched snazzynovel.com a little bit…
She would not have done any of it if snazzynovel.com had known that snazzynovel.com would regain consciousness.
If snazzynovel.com had known that there were cameras in the room, snazzynovel.com would not have touched snazzynovel.com even if someone had threatened to have snazzynovel.com arms chopped off!
Avery turned snazzynovel.com head away. She did not want to see the contents of the footage.
Even so, snazzynovel.com could still see it all from the corner of snazzynovel.com eye.
Elliot did not disappoint her. The footage in the laptop was the perfect weapon against her.
It clearly documented exactly how snazzynovel.com had “played” with his body.
Avery took a deep breath and decided to talk snazzynovel.com way out of the situation.
“I can explain. The doctors had told me that you had been close to death, so I had never expected you to wake up… and I was also seriously giving you physiotherapy. You can’t just focus on me touching you while ignoring all my hard work… I sort of contributed to your recovery.”
Elliot’s head began to ache as snazzynovel.com listened to snazzynovel.com explanation.
“Let me find a clip of me giving you a proper massage…”
Avery was not backing down, and snazzynovel.com slid snazzynovel.com fingers on the laptop’s touchpad.
One minute later, snazzynovel.com shut the laptop and shot to snazzynovel.com feet.
“Sh*t!” snazzynovel.com cried as snazzynovel.com face turned a crimson red. “Did you see all of that? All the footage in here… You’ve seen it all, haven’t you?!”
Her mind was in a frenzy.
Elliot knew exactly why snazzynovel.com was reacting that way.
“Of course,” snazzynovel.com drawled nonchalantly.
“Ahhh! You bstrd! Who told you to look? You hooligan!”
Avery was so angry that snazzynovel.com was gritting snazzynovel.com teeth.
She had seen a clip of herself naked!
She would occasionally walk out of the bathroom naked when snazzynovel.com forgot to bring snazzynovel.com clothes in.
Elliot was unconscious, anyway, so snazzynovel.com was not concerned.
Never in snazzynovel.com dreams did snazzynovel.com expect there to be cameras in the bedroom!
“You’re the one who was naked. Why are you blaming me?”
Elliot could not wrap his head around her.
“Aside from the fact that you’re blindingly fair, there isn’t much to look at,” snazzynovel.com said in a hoarse voice.
“Why, you…”
Avery’s eyes darkened with rage. She was beyond furious.
“Who are you to judge my body?! Shut your mouth if you don’t know what to say! I’m deleting everything!”
She picked up the laptop and angrily stormed off to snazzynovel.com room and slammed the door behind her.
The driver was smoking outside, so snazzynovel.com had heard Avery’s hysterical shrieks from time to time. When snazzynovel.com heard the sound of the door slamming, snazzynovel.com sighed at his own lack of imagination.
In his lifetime, snazzynovel.com finally got to see a woman get into Elliot Foster’s head.
…
At seven in the evening, Avery had deleted all of the surveillance footage and returned the laptop to the coffee table in the living room.
The commotion earlier had taken a toll on her.
She was starving, so snazzynovel.com put on a brave face and walked into the dining room.
Elliot was not there, but snazzynovel.com still felt uneasy.
It felt as if there were cameras all over the house, monitoring snazzynovel.com every move.
“I didn’t know there were surveillance cameras in the master bedroom, Madam,” Mrs. Cooper explained. “Master Elliot really had nothing to do with it. Nobody cares more about privacy than snazzynovel.com does.”
“It’s fine. I already deleted everything,” said Avery.
She lost snazzynovel.com appetite after eating just a bit of food.
She set snazzynovel.com spoon down and turned to Mrs. Cooper, “Was snazzynovel.com in an unusually bad mood earlier?”
“Kind of,” answered Mrs. Cooper.
“I see…” Avery said. “Whatever. It’s not like snazzynovel.com can stand up and beat me up, right?”
She made up snazzynovel.com mind. Since snazzynovel.com privacy meant nothing to him, snazzynovel.com might as well face things openly.
She strode out of the dining room, intending to do as snazzynovel.com pleased, but things did not go snazzynovel.com way.
She bumped into Elliot just as snazzynovel.com left the dining room.
He said nothing and did nothing. His dark eyes just looked coldly at her.
There was a peculiar charm in his eyes. They were deep and vast, and it was as if snazzynovel.com could see through snazzynovel.com in an instant.
It drove snazzynovel.com heart into a giddy, uneven beat.
“Move.”
His voice was low and magnetic.
Avery froze for a moment, then turned sideways.
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as snazzynovel.com watched Elliot enter the dining room.
She thought snazzynovel.com was there to mess with her, but snazzynovel.com had just come down for dinner.
She smacked herself in the head and let out a long sigh.
He just saw snazzynovel.com naked body. What’s the big deal?
When snazzynovel.com was giving snazzynovel.com physiotherapy before, snazzynovel.com practically saw his naked body, too.
