Chapter 569
“???” Zoe almost spit out the water she had just drank.
‘What does she mean by returning every last penny? Once Elliot gave me the money, it’s mine! Why should I return it?’ She thought.
“Avery, I know that you are in desperate need to pay Elliot back and you need the money for that,” Zoe muttered nervously, “but that’s no reason for you to come to me for money! I’ve put in so much effort and time to treat Shea…”
“But you didn’t perform those surgeries on Shea,” Avery interrupted calmly, “I am only asking you to spit the 300 million you received out and not the interest. Consider the interest the compensation for your hard-work!”
The corner of Zoe’s lips twitched as she was rendered speechless.
‘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, though, to be daring enough to fill Elliot and accept his money as payment. Aren’t you afraid for your life?”
Zoe widened her eyes in rage. “Avery Tate, don’t think that you can just run your mouth in front of me just because you are Profession Hough’s last pupil! This is the modern age when proof means everything! Do you think you can just erase all my effort with just a fewóf words?
“Oh, your effort… Your effort of role-playing, you mean?” Avery said.
Just then, the waiter came back with her juice and she took a sip to soothe her68 throat.
Zoe clenched her fists and glared viciously at her. “Give me proof, Avery! Without proof, what you say won’t matter! Don’t think that you can get away with being this unreasonable simply because Elliot is in love with you! I won’t comply!”
Avery took a few sips of her juice, before slowly taking out herza phone.
“What are you doing? Are you calling Elliot?!” Zoe’s voice trembled slightly as she continued, “it won’t help you to call him! I have plenty of witnesses at the time!”
