His Eagle Eyes on Me

Avery did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Relax... I was forced into it. When our family was struggling with money, my stepmother married me off for the engagement gifts and cash. I'm still waiting to get a divorce!" "What the hell was she thinking?!" Tammy exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? We should go to the police!"

Avery reached out to calm her down, then said, "It's not as bad as you think. We're from two completely different worlds, so we should get divorced anytime now." Tammy was still not convinced.

"Who is he? Tell me... You husband... D*mn it! I still think this is insane!"

"It is pretty nuts. I'll tell you who he is after we're divorced."

"Absolutely not! You need to tell me right now! I'll stand up for you!"

Avery knew about Tammy's bad temper all too well.

and Tammy's involvement would just add fuel to the fire.

"Just focus on looking into Jun Hertz for now! I'll definitely tell you who my husband is after that," Avery said, trying to negotiate with her best friend.
