Elliot and Avery

Chapter 217

Zoe was now using Elliot to climb the social ladder.

Instead of being an accomplished doctor, she would much rather be at the top of high society

Moreover, she was aware of her own skills, and she knew that she would never reach Professor

Hough’s level of expertise.

There was a limit to how far she could go if she remained in the medical field,

Things would be different if she married Elliot.

When the time came, she would be the envy of everyone around her.

Not long after Elliot sat down in his study, he received a phone call from Ben.

“Hey, Elliot. How did things at the school go?”

“He didn‘t bring his laptop today. I‘m guessing Avery took it away from him.”

“It looks like it really was Avery’s son! Isn‘t he only four years old? Is he a so-called child prodigy?” Ben

said enthusiastically.

Elliot did not respond.

“What do you plan on doing with the kid?” Ben asked.

He found the entire thing especially entertaining.

It would have been boring if the hacker turned out to be some creep.

Who would have thought that the person who disabled Sterling Group‘s entire network was a little

brat? Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why did he challenge you to strangle him?” Ben continued to ask. “Why don‘t you ask him that

yourself if you‘re so interested? He always ignores me,” said Elliot.

“Hahahaha! This kid’s got personality! I really want to meet him.”

“In your dreams!”

What Hayden did was wrong, but he was an “atypical” child after all.

Elliot would not do anything to him, nor would he allow Ben to bother him at school.

“Avery’s birthday is coming up. What if they invite us to the party? Wouldn’t I get to see the kid, then?”

Ben said excitedly. “Do you want to get her a present beforehand, Elliot? You may

be divorced, but you once shared an unforgettable relationship. You won’t be so stingy as to not wish

her a happy birthday, right?”

Elliot‘s hawk-like eyes narrowed, then he said in a deep voice, “Do you think she’ll accept a gift from

me?”

“Wasn’t she pretty friendly when she treated us to lunch yesterday? Even though it was only because

we had something on her.”

“There’s no need for that ––”

“How much would a birthday present cost? I could give it to her for you if you’re embarrassed. I really

want to take a look at that son of hers,” Ben said.

After a few seconds of deep consideration, Elliot gave in and asked, “What would be a suitable

gift?”

“How about jewelry? Women love sparkly things,” Ben suggested.

“Jewelry isn‘t suitable. We‘re divorced after all.”

“What else if not jewelry? You wouldn‘t be able to give her something cheap, right? She’s a millionaire

now!”

Elliot raised his hand and massaged the space between his brows, then said, “Let‘s just go with

jewelry, then!”

On the other side of the study‘s door, Zoe‘s heart was overwhelmed by jealousy as she listened in on

their conversation.

Elliot had asked his assistant to give her a handbag worth a few thousand dollars on her birthday a

while back.

Now, he was about to give Avery expensive jewelry for her birthday!

Who exactly was his girlfriend?!

How could he do this to her?

She was the only one who could save Shea now!

As Zoe’s eyes reddened with hatred, she pulled out her phone and texted her father.

(Avery Tate has two children. Look up where she adopted them in Bridgedale, and for what purpose.)
