Chapter 221
Zoe‘s body trembled uncontrollably.
“You! You –
Her head was buzzing as she turned blue in the face.
“I was also at Elizabeth Hospital that day, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the person who operated on Shea,” Avery said sternly as she watched the fear and anxiety on Zoe’s face “11 you want to threaten me, then you must first properly consider if you can handle being
discarded!”
At that moment, the drinks and desserts arrived.
Avery casually began to enjoy her afternoon tea.
“I underestimated you, Avery Tate!”
Zoe went from having the winning ticket in her grasp to being completely helpless in a matter of minutes.
“We‘re even! Let‘s just pretend like nothing happened! I won‘t tell Elliot about your secret, so I hope you can keep your lips sealed, too!”
“Weren‘t you pretty cocky just now?” Avery mocked. “All you had was a tiny bit of leverage, and you decided to act so conceitedly. How could you be in research with that attitude? Even after ten years, you won‘t be able to treat Shea‘s illness.”
“Unless your skills surpass mine, you shouldn‘t insult me!” Zoe snapped as she glared at Avery. “The kind of person Professor Hough despised the most was people like you who gave up on medicine to pursue business!”
Avery took a sip of her juice.
The tart sweetness of it was refreshing.
“Aren‘t you curious about the person who operated on Shea?” Avery asked as she lifted her gaze and stared coldly at Zoe. “You‘re not thinking that your lie won‘t ever be exposed, are you?”
“Don‘t you think I‘ve looked into it? I just haven‘t found out yet… You have information on them, but you won‘t tell me. You‘ve been so jealous seeing Elliot and I together–”
“Don’t make me sick. If I really wanted to break you up, all I have to do is give Elliot a call and he‘d dump you.”
“Don’t you dare threaten me!” Zoe roared angrily.

“It doesn’t feel too nice being threatened, does it? Don‘t do unto others what you don’t want to be done unto you.”
“That’s because I don’t ever want to see you again,” Avery answered coldly. “Don’t contact me again. I’m too busy for your constant bickering.”
Avery always kept a low–profile.
