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.
