Avery almost spat the green tea from her mouth. She took a tissue to dab on her lips.
"Miss Sanford, I was the one asking for a divorce with Elliot. As for you taking Elliot from me, what I hate is that you're not married yet! Look at how alike you two are! He's handsome and you're beautiful, you're made for one another! When are you two getting married? I will send a grand gift!"
Zoe had an awkward smile on her face, "Now I know this is what you're thinking. However, I'm sorry to disappoint you, as we don't plan to get married yet." 1
"Why not? Do you not want to? Or does he not want to? If he doesn't want to, why don't I help you talk to him? " Avery took another sip of green tea.
Zoe said, "You don't have to. We will let things happen at their course. Right, Miss Tate, you called me insensitive earlier, I don't understand why. This is only our first meeting, so why did you insult me?"
Avery sensed how fake this woman was.
Zoe looked pitiable and wronged, one would easily sympathize with her! 1
"Didn't your teacher teach you this in school? One has to keep one's greed at bay." Avery thought she had made it clear.
However, Zoe continued to look at her, waiting for her to continue. 1
Avery found it exhausting to talk to her.
Did she think nobody would see through her lies?
Instead of using the operation as an excuse to force Elliot to be with her, if she just took his money, Avery would not dislike her.
How could she be so greedy?
Although Avery had divorced Elliot, she still did not like seeing how he was being played by Zoe.
"Miss Tate, do you think I'm crossing a line by asking to be with Elliot?"
Seeing that Avery did not speak, she continued, "You might not know, Shea's illness can't be cured in one treatment. There are follow-ups. While my work was mainly overseas. Elliot hoped that I could stay here to treat Shea. This would affect my overseas work.
Therefore, I resigned from my overseas work to come back here and treat Shea specifically..."
"Miss Sanford, you've sacrificed so much." Avery mocked, "Didn't you say you don't earn much from the hospital? You could easily ask Elliot to compensate you two-fold. Unless you think that by asking him to be your boyfriend, you can get half of his assets?"
