[No problem! I can handle my drink!]
I have pretty high tolerance, too!
[It's all of us against Elliot Foster. We've got this!
Mike broke into a grin as he read the enthusiastic
messages in the text chain.
Why was he being gracious enough to invite Elliot to
the party?
This was his true motive.
Picking on Avery meant picking on him.
There was not much Mike could do to defeat Elliot, but
getting him blackout drunk was right up his alley! 1
That night, Rosalie asked Elliot to bring Zoe over to
the old mansion for dinner.
Dinner began once the two of them arrived.
"You should visit more often when you have the time,
Doctor Sanford," Rosalie said with a smile. "Elliot's
usually too busy to spend time with you."
Zoe nodded and said, "Alright. I'll come by more often
as long as you don't find me bothersome.
"Why would I? I like how outstanding you are!"
After a pleasant dinner, Rosalie called Elliot over to
her room for a private conversation.
"Doctor Sanford seems like a good match for you, Elliot. You're not getting any younger. Why don't you get engaged?" Rosalie said.
"I won't think about marriage until Shea's completely cured," Elliot said as he searched for an excuse.
"Shea's illness and your marriage have nothing to do with each other!"
Half an hour later, Rosalie retired to her bedroom for the night.
Cole finally found the chance to speak with Zoe in private.
"I looked into it, Doctor Sanford. My uncle's attending Avery's birthday party this Saturday," Cole said, explaining his plan to Zoe. "I'm sure he'll drink at the party. You should go fetch him once he's drunk. If he's blacked out, you can do whatever you want with him. If he's not quite drunk enough, all you have to do is give him this..."
Cole pulled out a tiny bottle and handed it over to Zoe.
"As long as he drinks this, he'll transform from a
perfect gentleman into a beast in the sack!" 1
Zoe was rendered speechless.
It was shameless, but she had no other choice.
She took the bottle, then mocked coldly, "You sure are an expert at cheap tricks like this."
Cole's face flushed with embarrassment.
"You're the one who asked me to think of something, Doctor Sanford. When it comes to my uncle, if we didn't resort to cheap tricks, he would never sleep with you!"
"Shut up! I know the one he loves is Avery Tate! So what? I'm his girlfriend now!" Zoe said haughtily." Once I've slept with him, I'll make him marry me!"
