Chapter 220
Zoe’s words left Avery frozen in shock.
“If I‘m right, the children are yours and Elliot‘s,” Zoe said as her wicked laughter traveled through the phone.
Avery could not help but feel a chill run through her body.
“Adoption papers are private and confidential!” she retorted as she clenched her fists tightly.
“Of course! Adoption papers wouldn‘t typically be disclosed, but my father isn’t just your average Joe,” Zoe said as she let out an arrogant, maniacal cackle. “My father’s connections in Bridgedale confirmed that you lied! I heard Elliot hates children and had always been determined not to have them. I wonder what he‘d do if he finds out that your children are his!”
“Zoe Sanford! You‘re going too far!” Avery snapped furiously.
“Am I the one going too far, or are you?! Elliot is my boyfriend now! You‘re his ex-wife! You’ re divorced! Why do you keep getting in between us?” Zoe shrieked in a much sharper voice than Avery.
“I‘ll keep your secret on the condition that you never meet Elliot again!” Zoe threatened.
Her woman‘s intuition told her that Avery would obediently follow her orders.
Avery’s children were her Achilles‘ heel.
Avery would easily give in to Zoe‘s request.
After all, whether or not she met Elliot had no effect on her life whatsoever.
However, Avery was not willing to surrender!
She never did anything wrong, so why should she endure such injustice?!
“Let’s meet!” Avery said as she quickly composed her emotions. “I‘ll see you at the restaurant we met in before.”
“Fine!”
Half an hour later, Avery and Zoe sat in the same seats at the restaurant from their last
As Avery took a seat, she said mockingly, “There’s no hot water today, Miss Sanford.”
Why was Avery behaving this cockily when she had something on her?
Once the waiter was gone, Zoe turned to Avery and said, “You’ve got it rough, Avery. Other women’s worth and status rise after they give birth to a man‘s child, but you’re the exact opposite.”
