Chapter 565
Elliot picked up the cup of hot coffee on his desk and took a sip. The coffee was bitter, just like his mood.Avery had always been doing things her way. She had always been selfish. She had never considered how he felt. Even if they went their separate ways, she still found ways to torture him. It was lunchtime at Central University's elite class.A boy took his lunch and walked over to Hayden."Hayden, the woman that conned one and a half billion dollars out of Elliot Foster on the news is your mother, right?!" The boy who approached Hayden was called Daniel, and because he was so fat, everyone called him Fat Dan. "My mother is not a con-woman!" Hayden said angrily."I know. If your mother was a con-woman, Elliot Foster would have made things difficult for your mother." Then, Fat Dan asked curiously, "Your mother should be fine right now, right? She's at home, right?""My mother is abroad."Fat Dan adjusted his glasses and looked at Hayden intensely. "Oh… Why is she not ret

Both of them were stunned."Big H… don't sell these coins just yet! I think their value will go even higher," gasped Mike. "Okay.""Don't tell your mom about this yet," Mike continued, "she might have a heart attack if she finds out about this.""I will pass you the money, and you can give it to her.""Sure… Let's go eat!" Mike lifted Hayden off his feet. Mike knew that Hayden had far surpassed him in what he had managed to accomplish. Meanwhile, Avery had just finished surgery on her client's father and was now having a meal with the client at a hotel in Bridgedale. "Dr. Tate, do you know Zoe Sanford?"Avery's heart sank, but she did not let it show. "Not really. Why?""She has been trying to get information from you through a friend of mine. I wonder if she found out about the deal between us. Why would she be gathering intel on you, if you don't even know each other?" "What did your friend say?" Avery asked."I told my friend not to say anything. I didn't tell many pe

"Yes," Avery said."Indeed, your baby is slightly under-developed," the doctor said after a pause. "Half a month ago, you mentioned that your child was developing two weeks slower than it should've been if it were developing normally, yes?" "Yes. What now?" Avery's heart sank as she awaited the doctor's judgment. If the baby had stopped developing, there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to keep it, and she was prepared for the worst."Can you show me the ultrasound report from the last checkup?" The doctor set the ultrasound sensor down and passed her a piece of tissue paper.She accepted the tissue and took out the ultrasound report from her purse. She passed it to the doctor as she wiped her belly. After inspecting the report, the doctor said, "Though the baby isn't developing as it should, it has grown since the last scan, and it will continue to grow. If you want to keep the baby, you need to take good care of yourself and make sure to get enough nutrition. We'll

"I'm back. When are you free? Let's meet up," Avery said once the line connected.The person on the other end of the line sounded surprised, "Why do we need to meet?""And here I thought you cared about me. You had even gone to Bridgedale to ask about me," said Avery sarcastically. "Since you care so much about me, I made sure that you are the first person I contacted now that I am back."Zoe sneered. "Get over yourself. I went to Bridgedale to see my relatives. I only asked about you because I thought you had to be really ill not to come back, especially when both of your kids have returned to Aryadelle.""And you say that you don't care," Avery said casually. "How would you know that my kids are back if you don't care about me? It's not like my children turned up at your doorstep, right?"Zoe was rendered speechless."Let's meet this afternoon, and I'll show you how well I've recovered," said Avery."I don't care about your recovery, but if you want to meet me so badly, then l

Zoe almost spat out the water she had just drunk.'What does she mean by returning every last penny? Once Elliot gave me the money, it was mine! Why should I return it?' she thought."Avery, I know that you desperately need to pay Elliot back and that you need money for that," Zoe muttered nervously, "but there is no reason that I should give up my hard-earned money for you! I've put in so much effort and time into treating Shea—" "But you didn't perform those surgeries on Shea," Avery interrupted calmly, "I am only asking you to give back the three hundred million and not the interest. Consider the interest as compensation for your hard work!"The corner of Zoe's lips twitched. She did not know what to say.'How ridiculous! Avery is being ridiculous!' she thought."Zoe, has no one ever told you that there's no such thing as a free lunch?" Avery said sarcastically. "You sure are brave. You have been daring—telling Elliot lies and accepting his money. Aren't you afraid your lies

Zoe was in Wonder Technologies as she was telling Wanda everything in tears while Wanda looked livid. "I don't have that much money to give you!" said Wanda coldly. "The money has been spent, and you can ask the finance department if you don't believe me! Go see for yourself if we still have three hundred million lying around!"Zoe gasped. "Of course you would say that you don't have it when it's not your life on the line! What you do if you were me?"Wanda lambasted, "I'm not as foolish as you! You can't even keep a hold of the money that you earn! If you are incapable of retaining money, then you should have taken your three hundred million and gone somewhere far away!" "That's not what you said when you begged me to invest in your company!" Zoe was burning with rage.Avery had only given her three days. She had to gather three hundred million dollars within three days because the last thing she wanted was for Elliot to find out the truth. If he did, it would no longer be as s

Her eyes were red as she made another call. It was someone she had not called in a while. Her call was answered shortly, and she heard a sweet melodic voice drift out from the speaker."Did you dial the wrong number, Dr. Sanford? It's been so, so long since you last contacted me, and here I thought that you had completely forgotten about me! Hahaha!"Chelsea's smug laughter came from the speaker.It had been Chelsea who had gotten her to come back to Bridgedale. It was also Chelsea who had told her that there was much to gain in Bridgedale, but she had not listened to Chelsea.Once she had gotten a hold of Elliot, she had immediately cast Chelsea aside. "What are you laughing at Chelsea?!""I'm laughing at you, of course! You are out of the game now." Chelsea sounded cheerful. "It is so easy to destroy you right now, it will be like squashing an ant. But that is beneath me, and I don't want to get my hands dirty." "Really?" Zoe mumbled. "What have you gotten so far? Elliot s

It was a notification from the bank informing her that three hundred million had been wired into her account."Avery, I heard that you were the one who had broken off things with him this time. I'm guessing that he is doing this now to spite you," Tammy guessed.Avery was in a good mood. She had so easily gotten the three hundred million dollars."What he wants to do is up to him." She took out a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and handed it to Tammy.Tammy was not happy about it. "That Chelsea really is everywhere! She's stayed quiet for over a year, and I almost forgot that she is still working for Sterling Group. She's definitely patient."Avery had a deep and lasting impression of Chelsea from the last time they met, and she knew what Chelsea was like, although they had not met for a long time. "Chelsea's love for Elliot surpasses my love for him," said Avery, "Elliot doesn't like kids, and so to reassure him, she went and got rid of her own uterus."Tammy gasped.
