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.

"Chad, did Elliot deactivate his account?" Avery looked up at Chad.Chad was taken by surprise and said, "He didn't tell me to do anything like that, so I'm not sure. Are you having issues transferring money to his account?"Avery nodded."I'll ask him about it when I go to work tomorrow," Chad said awkwardly. "Maybe he doesn't want to take your money anymore!""That's funny. Does he intend on keeping Avery in his debt?" Tammy directed her frustration toward Chad and said sharply, "What exactly is his relationship with Chelsea? Jun said that Elliot had taken Chelsea along with him the last time they had dinner together." Chad was starting to sweat. "… They are colleagues, I guess! He's known Chelsea for years so he would sometimes take her out for meals.""Who are you trying to fool? Jun said that Chelsea was putting food on Elliot's plate, and Elliot accepted it… Is that what colleagues do in your company?""Tammy Lynch, it's really not necessary for you to say all these things in fr

After two seconds of silence, he could no longer control himself and said, "Avery!"His voice was filled with unconcealable concern for her.She gagged a few times before the nausea finally passed.Elliot regained his composure and muttered in a hoarse voice, "Avery, go lie down on the bed if you don't feel well."Enraged by what he said, she hissed, "I don't need your pity!"He did not need to tell her how great Chelsea was."I pity our child!" he said sternly as he tightened his grip on the phone."Why?" she asked sarcastically. "Is it because I haven't gotten rid of it?!" "Avery Tate, do you really have to be so savage?!"Elliot could not help but wonder whether he really was the villain she made him out to be. He had been overjoyed by the news of her pregnancy and had looked forward to the birth, and when the accident had happened, he had been deeply hurt as well."Who was the first one to start this savagery?" said Avery as she sat on her bed. Her eyes had grown red, an

"I accepted the offer because I feel relaxed whenever I'm with Shea, and I love it," he continued, "Elliot then gave my parents a tremendous amount of money in secret."Avery's lips curled into a smile, "You should take the money if he insists."Wesley shook his head. "I told my parents to donate the money. I don't like the feeling of being a charity case. It makes me look pitiable, and I've never considered myself that.""Maybe he doesn't mean it like that, Wesley."Wesley looked at her with gentle eyes, and he calmly said, "I know he meant well. Avery, if you can say all these things to me, why can't you think the same way about him?"She blushed slightly. "Can't I?""It isn't wise for you to break up with him. You are pregnant, and you need someone to help you out," said Wesley as he studied her face. "After what has happened, can you really not tell how he feels about you?" His voice was steady, and he said it with absolute calm. Avery lowered her gaze as her heart grew hea

The interview was posted online by the reporter. The video became an instant sensation on the internet.The previous rumors that had been circulating had already gotten plenty of attention, and this was the first time that Avery had ever publicly paid any attention to it.Her admission that the rumors were true shocked everyone. What was more shocking was that Elliot had not sued her or requested any kind of compensation. It made everyone curious, and they truly began to wonder whether Elliot was as gullible as Avery said he was.Elliot returned to his office in the Sterling Group building. He had been in a meeting for an hour. When he came back, he saw countless messages on his phone. Every message was followed by a short clip. He scowled and played the videos."Miss Tate, we heard that you scammed Elliot Foster out of one and a half billion dollars, may I know if this is true?""It’s true."Everyone was instantly rendered speechless."You have to be joking, Miss. Tate. If it’s
