The CEO Gets What He Wants

“What's the matter?” Avery felt uncomfortable with Christopher staring at her. His expression seemed

somewhat shocked.

“I think... you better see it for yourself!” Christopher did not know how to explain to Avery what he saw.

Thus, he pushed the laptop to her and let her read for herself.

Avery puzzledly took the laptop over.

At the same time, Anna also peered over to look at the screen.

Youngsters across the globe were likely to have read this news if they surfed the Internet that day.

The news headline mentioned Nicole, currently the most popular rising young celebrity.

Shocking! Man Seen With Nicole Lambert and Spent The Night Together, Later Admitted He Is Already

Married!

Avery was already panicking just by glancing at the headline.

As she clicked the link and scrolled to read the contents, she saw a screenshot that revealed the truth.

It was a screenshot of a marriage certificate posted by a new Twitter user.

The Twitter user was none other than Dylan!

He posted the marriage certificate of him and Avery, which clearly showed Avery's full name, birth date,

and face.

Meanwhile, Anna could not contain her curiosity and had already taken out her phone and opened the

Twitter app to search for the Twitter user mentioned in the news. That was when she discovered that

this user was already verified!

The verified profile was: Owner of Domos Bar

“Ery, your husband owns a bar?” Anna asked while looking at her phone.

Avery did not pay attention to Anna's question. Her head was buzzing and all she could think of was

the news content.

After reading through the nearly thousand-word article, Avery got a better sense of what was going on.

The incident happened late last night. The up-and-coming young star, Nicole, was caught sitting in the

same car with Dylan and returning to the residential area where she stayed.

Being an ordinary citizen, Dylan certainly would not catch the attention of the media. He was at most

slightly wealthier and more charismatic looking compared to the average guy on the street, but certainly

not outstanding.

However, he was caught being together with the hottest star in the entertainment industry, Nicole

Lambert, late at night. That certainly raised a few eyebrows...

Just then, another female colleague, who just bought bagels, rushed into the house. She nearly tripped

as her eyes were fixated on the phone. She went over to Avery and said, “Woah, Ery, you made it! It's

an amazing feat being in the headline together with the sweet young star, Nicole Lambert!”

Anna, who sat beside Avery all this while, overcame her shock and asked Avery gingerly, “Hey, Ery,

you know who Nicole is, right? I don't need to Google for you, right?”

Avery nodded but her eyes were fixed on the computer screen. Her brows knitted slightly.

Anna decided to stop talking. She was afraid that the more she talked, it might end up rubbing salt on

Avery's wound instead of giving her consolation.

Usually, there was little truth to such scandals and most people would not believe them entirely, but as

the saying went, there would be no fire without smoke.

Avery roughly skimmed through the comments on the Internet.

Someone commented: I'm an expert in body language. Based on these photos and videos, I confirmed

that Mr. Musk and Nicole were purely friends. Hence, Nicole's fans need not worry. The relationship

between your sweet innocent idol and this man was clean.

Nicole's fans straight away liked the comment written by the “body language expert” and upvoted it as

the most popular comment.

It was as if the comment was the gospel truth and nobody was to challenge its authority!

There was another comment: Could all netizens please stop harassing Mr. Musk and his wife, Ms.

Avery? It's not morally right to gossip about them and infringe on their lives. After all, they were not part

of this industry. I believed since Mr. Musk and Ms. Avery were acquainted with Nicole, they must be

good people.

However, there were opposing views as well: It was hilarious to see the fans debating and trying to

protect their idol. It was a fact that your sweet innocent Nicole could not bear the loneliness at night and

brought a man home. The truth was in plain sight and there was a video to prove it. There was no

sabotage whatsoever.

Perhaps, Mr. Musk was Nicole's financial backer?

Then, some netizens took Avery's side: Poor Ms. Avery, she was pulled into the spotlight for no reason.

How could she remain silent? I bet it didn't feel good to have your newlywed husband cheat on you

with a young celebrity.

You thought that by posting his marriage certificate, Mr. Musk showed that he loved his wife? You were

wrong! He had no qualms about exposing his personal life and his wife to draw the lines with Nicole

and help clear her name! The one he truly loves is Nicole!

Others concurred: That's right, there's more to meet the eye. This Mr. Musk could not be just a simple

bar owner. Remember the fact that he spent a night with Nicole! You all had better open your eyes

wide! This man was the cousin of Trident Group's Mr. Moore and was in prison five years ago! As

expected, female stars were attracted to men with complicated backgrounds! Your sweet innocent

Nicole was not as pure as you thought!

Oh, how pathetic. You all idolized Ms. Nicole during the day while she worked hard at night idolizing her

sugar daddy, Mr. Musk... The most pitiful was Ms. Avery... We hope she could come out and make a

statement...

Avery angrily smacked the laptop lid down.

Christopher did not dare to breathe. He slowly pulled the laptop back for fear that it would be damaged

by Avery.

The people in the house were split into two groups. The first group was Avery's colleagues. The second

group was Avery herself, a pitiful woman whose newlywed spouse cheated on her with the sweet

young celebrity, Nicole, last night.

Avery took out her phone and for the first time, dialed Dylan's phone number. However, his line was

busy and could not be connected.

Concurrently, Avery received several messages on her phone, mostly from colleagues and ex-

classmates to express their concerns. In fact, they were just being nosy.

Of course, there were others who were sincerely worried, such as Nina and Cecelia.

After failing several times to get hold of Dylan, Avery gave up and sent a text message instead.

Dylan Musk, I hope you can delete the post on our marriage certificate immediately! You disrespect me

by exposing my personal details and pictures to the public!

Meanwhile, in Ackleton, Milana was about to leave the house when she was pulled back by Henrietta.

“Where are you going? Do you have money? Spare me some!”

Milana turned her head around and stared momentarily at her useless mother before reluctantly taking

out two hundred from her purse. She slammed the money on the shoe cabinet near the door and

glared at her mother. “I really don't have any more money! If not, you can sell the house and go back to

your hometown!”

Henrietta did not register a single word that her daughter said. She took the money and muttered to

herself about it being so little as she returned to her room.

Milana stood at the door and took a few minutes to calm herself down before leaving the house.

Milana saw the news headline as well and was stunned when she read the contents.

Avery is actually Dylan's wife? What kind of a joke is this? Avery married Dylan, the same Dylan whom

she had slept with! What did that b*tch do to deserve this?

As she stood at the roadside waiting for a taxi, Milana sent a WhatsApp message to Dylan: I hope to

meet you as soon as possible; otherwise, you'll live to regret it!

What's gotten into you? Dylan responded quickly. His tone was aloof and cold, treating her like one of

the many flings whom he casually slept with.

Nothing's wrong with me. Remember that Avery is my sister and I know loads about her, both good and

bad. You won't want me to approach the media... or create a Twitter account to do an exposé right?

Milana took the plunge and threatened Dylan.
