Chapter 178


    Avery massaged her temples with her fingers. She thought that she would not be affected by his affairs


    anymore after getting a divorce. So why did her heart still feel hurt? Since Elliot cared about Shea so


    much, why could he not just focus on Shea and be together with Shea forever?


    After giving it some thought, Avery found her answer very quickly. She did not care which woman he


    was with. She just could not ept that he was such a scumbag. It was hard to admit that she fell in


    love with a scumbag as it would make her question herself about her choice in men.


    “Avery, are you alright?” asked Tammy worriedly, “I shouldn’t have told you. But if I didn’t tell you, you


    would still find out eventually.”


    “I’m alright,” said Avery as she picked up the ss of water and took a drink.


    “This is his choice. As long as he is happy with it,” Avery continued to say.


    “Jun said it was a request from Zoe. Her treatment was quite effective. Elliot wanted to pay her but she


    doesn’t want any money,” exined Tammy.


    “You don’t have to exin it to me,” said Avery as she felt a little sick, “If he is not willing to, no one can


    force him.”


    “I heard Shea will need further treatment for her illness. Elliot wants Zoe to continue treating Shea so


    he had no choice but to agree with Zoe’s request.” Tammy continued to exin. However, the more

    she exined, the more she felt like she was defending Elliot for his actions.


    Avery sneered, “Good for them. Since Zoe doesn’t mind Elliot being a womanizer, it’s a win win


    situation for all three of them.”


    Tammy adhered, “That’s right. Zoe has moved in with Elliot now. It’s just weird. Never mind, as long as


    they don’t feel weird about it. Forget that scumbag. He will not exist in our topics anymore.”


    “Okay. I’m busy with work nowadays. Let me treat you to dinner when I’m done with work,” said Avery


    “Okay!” Tammy replied.


    After finishing the conversation with Tammy, Avery fell into deep thought as she held the ss of water


    in her hands. She did not know anything about Zoe. However, after this incident, she discovered that


    Zoe was quite courageous.


    In actuality, Zoe was not the one who performed surgery for Shea and yet, she dared to use it


    as leverage to ask Elliot to be her boyfriend. Was she not afraid that Elliot would discover the truth?


    Nevertheless, it did not matter to Avery at all whether Elliot knew the truth.


    Zoe wanted Elliot and Avery wanted nothing to do with him, not his money nor his person. The only


    thing Avery wanted was to live a good life with her children. Hence, Avery did not n on exposing


    Zoe’s lie.


    It was already nighttime when Avery returned home feeling tired. The TV in the living room


    was on.


    La rushed towards Avery, “Mummy, you are back! Are you tired?”


    Avery shook her head, “I’m not tired, La. Do you feel tired going to school?”


    “Since mummy is not tired, so is La,” said La with her cute face.


    She pulled Avery to sit down with her on the sofa. When Avery sat down, the TV was broadcasting


    financial news. Coincidentally, Elliot’s face appeared on the screen.


    “La, was it you who switched on the TV?” Avery wondered why her daughter was watching the


    financial channel.


    La nced at Hayden, “It was Hayden… I switched the channel…”


    Since the financial news was showing Elliot on-air, La must have seen it and watched the news for


    the first time.


    “Oh…” Avery put her arm around La and looked at Hayden, “Hayden,e over here. I have


    something to tell the both of you.”


    Hayden was working on a puzzle. He came over after listening to Avery. When Hayden came over,


    Avery pointed at Elliot’s handsome face on TV and instructed her children, “You must remember his


    face. If you ever see him or bump into him, you must walk away and do not get close to him.”


    La looked puzzled, “Why, mummy?”


    Avery pondered and said, “He might strangle you to death if he ever finds out about the both of you.”


    Those were the exact words that Elliot had said before. He said, he would strangle their children if


    Avery ever give birth. Since Elliot knew that Avery had two children around her, it was better to tell her


    children to stay away from him.


    It would be best if Elliot did not look further into it. Avery was afraid that Elliot might find out that La


    and Hayden were his children.


    La frowned immediately. She took the remote control and switched off the TV. Originally, she was


    quite fond of Elliot since he was quite good-looking. However, it turned out that Elliot was a bad person.
