Chapter 2911
"Mr. Foster, don't you feel sorry for this baby? If you don't want him, I guess I will just send him to an orphanage." Feeling as though she was freezing, the woman intended to leave with the child, as she gambled on the chance that Elliot would not have the heart to abandon a baby.
"Stop right there!" Elliot roared. "Who handed you this baby? Did she say anything else apart from asking you to deliver the baby?"
The woman stopped. "She didn't say anything else! She just said that you would pay me if I delivered the baby here. Had I known that this is how you all would be treating me, I wouldn't have come. I'm just a milk delivery worker. I don't know anything else."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Elliot was speechless.
The bodyguard noticed the troubled look on his face and said, "Mr. Foster, just let her leave!"
The bodyguard knew that Avery would never allow the baby to stay and would likely still be furious even if the baby was sent away.
This was proof that Elliot had been cheating on Avery, and any woman would be livid.
Though Elliot was a powerful man, Avery's children would all be on her side, so she had nothing to fear from Elliot.
"If I let her leave, how am I supposed to prove that I'm innocent?" Elliot asked as he reached for the baby.
The woman moved away and put her hand out to ask for money. "Mr. Foster, I came all the way here to deliver your child to you, so you ought to at least pay me, right? Besides, the taxi fee to get here is quite high..." the woman said.
Elliot did not move and simply shot the bodyguard a look.
The bodyguard immediately took out his wallet. "How much do you want?!"
The bodyguard looked ferocious, and the woman did not dare to ask for much. "A hundred... at the very least!"
The bodyguard tossed a hundred-dollar note at her, and she immediately shoved the baby into Elliot's arms to take the money.
As soon as she had the money, she hurried toward the taxi and disappeared into the distance.
Elliot held the baby and headed into the house - just as Avery stormed out with a suitcase despite the protests of all the servants.
It had been years since she had experienced such humiliation.
Having an illegitimate child delivered to her doorstep was like being slapped in the face by Elliot's lover.
Her heart broke, and she felt suffocated by pain.
Seeing that Avery was leaving, Elliot immediately handed the baby over to the bodyguard.
"Avery, this isn't my child! I swear!"
He stron
toward her and grabbed
her b
the arm. "I only accepted the
baby to prove my innocence
Elliot hated it when people swore because words were futile, and only the truth would prevail.
However, he was cornered by the situation and could finally understand why people would swear upon their innocence.
"Avery, don't be upset. You can get upset once the DNA test results are out, right?" One of the servants snatched the suitcase from Avery's hand and dragged it back into the house.
"I really didn't do anything to betray you, Avery! If this really is my child, I-" Elliot paused. He could be certain that he did not cheat, but there was no way for him to tell if the child was biologically his.
