NovelApp"27?" 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 | return it?" She thought.
"Avery, | 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.

"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 few 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 her 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! | won't comply!" Avery took a few sips of her juice, before slowly taking out her 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! | have plenty of witnesses at the time!" "If that's the case, why are you so nervous?" Avery lifted an eyebrow and glanced at her in contempt. "Do you happen to know that | have proof?" "You have proof?!" Zoe squeaked as she felt as though she was being strangled.
"I wouldn't have come to you asking for money if | didn’t have the proof, would I? Should | assume that you would agree out of the kindness in your heart? Or should | have begged, instead?" Avery opened a video =c.
Zoe's blood ran cold. She felt short of breath as she watched the video from Avery's phone.
‘That's Avery! Avery was the kind person who did Shea's surgeries!" She thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough Zoe had guessed that Avery was behind it, she had never imagined that Avery would record herself.
She had originally thought that Avery was avoiding Elliot in order to keep her children to herself and that she had no intention of taking his money. Zoe realized that she was wrong and Avery was merely waiting for the right timing.
"Don't you care if Elliot finds out that Layla and Hayden are his children anymore?" Zoe forced a hideous smile.
Avery shrugged. "I need money right now, and what you said is nothing compared to 300 million. Besides, he probably already knew." All strength was instantly drained from Zoe. She slumped on her chair as fear filled her eyes.
"Zoe, transfer 300 million into my account within three days, or I'll send Elliot this video and have him ask for the money back himself," Avery said, before giving Zoe a smile. "I'm sure you know what kind of man Elliot is and his way is definitely going to be less gentle than mine."
