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?”


    La batted her eyshes 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!” La 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’te homest night… Hayden and I waited so long… Uncle Mike said that the dirtbag


    took you away…” La 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 yter, okay?”


    “Yay! Mom, it’s been so long since you took us out to y!” La 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


    ckmailer were to demand money. However, she would not have done that as it would affect her


    reputation.


    She went on to research what the currency was valued at, and she gasped.


    The price of one Beta Coin was twenty thousand dors, so a thousand Beta Coins would cost her


    twenty million.


    Zoe’s heart ached. Though Elliot had paid her one hundred and fifty-five million, that was her hard-


    earned money, and having to pay a person twenty million for a video felt akin to slicing her flesh off.


    After struggling for a while, she bought a thousand Beta Coins and transferred them to the


    ckmailer’s ount.


    Hayden immediately shut hisptop as soon as he received the money.


    “Hayden, it’s going to be you and your sister’s birthday soon, let me take you two out to buy some new


    clothes, okay?” Avery got changed and took the children with her.


    The bodyguard waited outside by the door.


    “Mom, this uncle cooks really well.” When La spotted the bodyguard, she immediately turned to her


    mother and said, “He cooked for usst night, and we ate it all!”


    Avery looked over at the bodyguard and said, “Good work!”


    “It’s nothing,” the bodyguard said shyly.

    Once the car was outside, Avery turned on her phone and saw a photo that Tammy, who was getting


    her nails done, had sent her.


    “Avery! I found a shop that does super pretty nails! Do you want toe over? Bring the kids too! I


    have an important announcement to make!”


    Avery looked at the message from her best friend with a smile, knowing in her heart what Tammy


    meant by ‘important announcement’.


    “Let’s go find Aunt Tammy, shall we?” Avery suggested to the children.


    “Sure! I like Aunt Tammy!” La agreed cheerfully.


    Hayden, on the other hand, simply agreed in silence.


    Half an hourter, Avery arrived at the nail salon that Tammy mentioned with La and Hayden.
