Chapter 333
Shea was tidying her desk with Mrs. Cooper''s help.
Elliot''s Adam''s apple rolled in his throat as guilt overcame him.
Every time Shea told him she felt dizzy the past few days, he had told her to get more rest.

He did not expect sleeping pills to be the cause of her difort.
If Avery had not taken her to the hospital for the checkup, who knows how long she would have
continued taking the pills.
Elliot felt grateful towards Avery, but he did not know how to express his thanks.
The next day, Mrs. Cooper showed up at Avery''s house first thing in the morning.
Avery was surprised, and quickly invited Mrs. Cooper into her home.
"I''m sorry for showing up without notice, Avery," Mrs. Cooper said as she handed two food containers
to her. "I made some of your favorite pickled vegetables, so I wanted to bring them to you."
"Thank you! Why did youe by this early?" Avery said as she poured a ss of water for her guest.
"To be honest, Master Elliot was the one who asked me toe by and thank you," Mrs. Cooper said
warily. "It was a good thing you took Shea to the hospital yesterday. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what
could have happened."
The smile on Avery''s face vanished.
"You have no idea how scary things were, Avery," Mrs. Cooper said as fear lingered inside of her. "Zoe
said she had instructed Mrs. Scarlet to only give Shea the pills for three days, but Mrs. Scarlet said Zoe
never mentioned any of that to her. Mrs. Scarlet was in tears when she confided in mest night... I''d
much rather trust her. After all, she’s been taking care of Shea for over twenty years. She would never
hurt her."
Avery picked up on a key point and asked," Mrs. Scarlet''s taken care of Shea for twenty years? Does
that mean Shea''s been with the Fosters for twenty years?"
"I think so! All Mrs. Scarlet ever told me was that Shea was a poor little thing. She never revealed
anything else to me."
Avery recalled how Elliot had kept his lips tightly sealed whenever she used to ask him about Shea.
"I didn''t expect Zoe to be such a scheming woman." Mrs. Cooper suddenly let out a sigh, then said,
"Master Elliot''s about to be engaged to her. I''m afraid she’s not a good person."
"He''s not worried, so you shouldn''t be either," Averyforted her.
"I''m sorry, Avery. I shouldn''t talk to you about these things. I''m sure you''ll find a much better man in the
future," Mrs.
Cooper said. Then, she rose from her seat and said, "Give me a call if you finish the pickles and want
more. I''ll send more over."
"Okay. Thank you," Avery said, then sent Mrs. Cooper on her way.
She wanted to pretend as if she was too busy to care about the news of Elliot''s engagement.
However, she spent the entire time tossing and turning in bed the night before.
In the end, she went on social media and searched for some key words.
She identally came across Zoe''s social media page.
Zoe had uploaded several new posts in the past few days.
She showed off photos of high-end wedding gowns, expensive diamond rings, and... photos of her
pregnant belly.
Every single photo was apanied by captions of pure bliss.
Apart from Zoe''s social media page, Avery also came across a bunch of rted images.
For example, there were photos of Zoe and Elliot that people took when they bumped into them while
shopping.
Avery opened up the photos and saw Zoe clinging onto Elliot''s arm. They looked as close as a couple
on a shopping spree.
Some of their friends also posted photos of the invitations they received for their engagement party.
Avery clicked on the invitation.
Elliot''s and Zoe''s names were right next to each other, and they had signed the invitations off
personally.
A strange feeling of disappointment washed over Avery!
This was because she never received an invitation to their engagement party.
