His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 220

Zoe's words left Avery frozen in shock. 1

"If I'm right, the children are yours and Elliot's," Zoe said as her wicked laughter traveled through the

phone.

Avery could not help but feel a chill run through her body.

"Adoption papers are private and confidential!" she retorted as she clenched her fists tightly. 1

"Of course! Adoption papers wouldn't typically be disclosed, but my father isn't just your average Joe,"

Zoe said as she let out an arrogant, maniacal cackle." My father's connections in Bridgedale confirmed

that you lied! I heard Elliot hates children and had always been determined not to have them. I wonder

what he'd do if he replaces out that your children are his!"

"Zoe Sanford! You're going too far!" Avery snapped furiously.

"Am I the one going too far, or are you?! Elliot is my boyfriend now! You're his ex-wife! You're divorced!

Why do you keep getting in between us?" Zoe shrieked in a much sharper voice than Avery. 2

"I'll keep your secret on the condition that you never meet Elliot again!" Zoe threatened.

Her woman's intuition told her that Avery would

obediently follow her orders.

Avery's children were her Achilles' heel.

Avery would easily give in to Zoe's request. 1

After all, whether or not she met Elliot had no effect on her life whatsoever.

However, Avery was not willing to surrender!

She never did anything wrong, so why should she endure such injustice?!

"Let's meet!" Avery said as she quickly composed her emotions. "I'll see you at the restaurant we met

in before." 1

"Fine!"

Half an hour later, Avery and Zoe sat in the same seats at the restaurant from their last meeting.

As Avery took a seat, she said mockingly, "There's no hot water today, Miss Sanford."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Zoe's face.

Avery turned on the voice recorder on her phone, then showed it to her and said, "Do you want to turn

your voice recorder on? Let's record this whole thing together!"

Zoe was at a loss for words.

How arrogant!

Why was Avery behaving this cockily when she had something on her?

Avery leisurely looked through the menu, ordered a glass of juice and dessert, then handed it to Zoe.

Zoe ordered a glass of juice, then handed the menu over to the waiter.

Once the waiter was gone, Zoe turned to Avery and said, "You've got it rough, Avery. Other women's

worth and status rise after they give birth to a man's child, but you're the exact opposite."

"I'm afraid I don't have it as bad as you do. You think that way because you treat yourself as nothing

but a baby-making machine. I'm not like you. My children belong to me. I didn't have them for a man,

nor did I have them to increase my worth," Avery said as she flashed a charming smile. "It's hard to

believe that you're an extremely educated woman."

Zoe's shoulders trembled with rage, but she could not think of a good comeback at that moment.

"It looks like you're not afraid of Elliot replaceing out about this at all," she said through gritted teeth. "If

that's the case, we better make sure the happy family of four quickly gets to know each other!"

"Ha! Do you know why I asked you to meet? I wanted to see how twisted your face would be when you

threatened me," Avery said. "It looks like I was right."

Zoe wanted to slam her hand on the table, but she had yet to recover from the burn.

Her eyes reddened as she held back. 1 "Were you surprised by how easily things went for you when

you used Shea's treatment as an excuse to threaten Elliot into becoming your boyfriend?"

Avery watched nonchalantly at the drastic change in Zoe's expression.

"I bet you have nightmares at night. After all, you're not the one who operated on Shea."

The color instantly drained from Zoe's face.
