Chapter 379
She pursed her lips and strode toward the door.
“I don’t know if it means investing in Wanda,” he drawled when she was at the door, “but I gave Zoe three hundred million.”
“Three hundred million? He gave Zoe three hundred million?!” she thoùght.
“Wasn’t it one hundred and fifty-five million?” she blurted out.
He chuckled. “So you have been keeping an eye on what has happened between Zoe and I. I did give her one hundred and fifty-five million, but I gave her another one hundred and fifty-five million the day before yesterday. She had performed surgery on Shea twice, and I’m paying her seventy-five million for each operation she performed.”
Avery clenched her fists. Due to the surgeries, Zoe had gotten an insane amount of money from Elliot. She had given all three hundred million to Wanda.
“How ironic! This is the most ironic thing I’ve ever seen. Nothing is as ridiculous as this, because I was the one who did those surgeries! This means that I have just given Wanda three hundred million! Haha! I want her dead! How could I give her money?” she thought.
Elliot noticed her tensing, and she was shivering slightly.
He got dressed swiftly and strode toward her. When he was finally next to her, he noticed that she was as pale as a ghost, and all the light had disappeared from her eyes.
“Avery, what’s wrong?” He grabbed onto her wrist and asked.
She took a deep breath, before shaking off his hand.
“I am a joke, Elliot Foster!” She lifted her chin as she tried her best to hold back her tears. “I shouldn’t have been merciful! I will never show any mercy to you or anyone around you!”
Her vice-president was right. Every penny that Elliot had given Zoe was a knife directed at her because Zoe and Wanda were a team.
Avery’s heart ached at the thought that she had wronged herself and her mother.
