Chapter 217
Zoe was now using Elliot to climb the social ladder.
Instead of being an accomplished doctor, she would much rather be at the top of high society
Moreover, she was aware of her own skills, and she knew that she would never reach Professor Hough’s level of expertise.
There was a limit to how far she could go if she remained in the medical field,
Things would be different if she married Elliot.
When the time came, she would be the envy of everyone around her.
Not long after Elliot sat down in his study, he received a phone call from Ben.
“Hey, Elliot. How did things at the school go?”
“He didn‘t bring his laptop today. I‘m guessing Avery took it away from him.”
“It looks like it really was Avery’s son! Isn‘t he only four years old? Is he a so-called child prodigy?” Ben said enthusiastically.
Elliot did not respond.
“What do you plan on doing with the kid?” Ben asked.
He found the entire thing especially entertaining.
It would have been boring if the hacker turned out to be some creep.
Who would have thought that the person who disabled Sterling Group‘s entire network was a little brat?
“Why did he challenge you to strangle him?” Ben continued to ask. “Why don‘t you ask him that yourself if you‘re so interested? He always ignores me,” said Elliot.
“Hahahaha! This kid’s got personality! I really want to meet him.”
“In your dreams!”
What Hayden did was wrong, but he was an “atypical” child after all.
Elliot‘s hawk-like eyes narrowed, then he said in a deep voice, “Do you think she’ll accept a gift from me?”
“Wasn’t she pretty friendly when she treated us to lunch yesterday? Even though it was only because we had something on her.”
“How much would a birthday present cost? I could give it to her for you if you’re embarrassed. I really want to take a look at that son of hers,” Ben said.
