Chapter 359
Hayden began to wonder if he should scam Zoe out of all her money when he received her message.
Zoe had broken up with Elliot and had lost her child, so the video would not hurt Elliot.
“How can you two do that?” Avery took a sip of water and went to the children’s room to lecture them. “No matter the grudge that she and I hold against each other, she is in her seventies. What would have happened had she gotten startled and fallen sick?”
Layla batted her eyelashes innocently. “You can cure her if she falls sick, Mommy.”
“I am not a miracle-worker! I can’t cure all the illnesses in the world!”
“But she didn’t fall sick! She was yelling at you!” Layla muttered, “Mom, we can’t just let others bully you!”
Avery’s heart softened at her daughter’s words.
“They weren’t bullying me. I’m not that easy to bully,” she said in an attempt to reassure her children.
“But you didn’t come home last night… Hayden and I waited so long… Uncle Mike said that the dirtbag took you away…” Layla pouted and said, “When we grow up, we will take revenge for
you!”
Avery was moved. She picked her daughter up and said softly, “I can protect myself. You and your brother only need to worry about growing up healthy and happy! I’ll take you out to play later, okay?”
“Yay! Mom, it’s been so long since you took us out to play!” Layla snuffled pathetically.
Meanwhile, Hayden had sent a reply to Zoe.
Zoe stared at the reply from the mysterious person and scowled.
“A thousand Beta Coins? What is a Beta Coin?” Confused, she did an online search.
Beta Coin was a type of international virtual currency.
She had to admit that this mysterious person was smart. Zoe could make a police report if the blackmailer were to demand money. However, she would not have done that as it would affect her reputation.
