His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 221

Chapter 221

Zoe's body trembled uncontrollably.

"You! You-"

Her head was buzzing as she turned blue in the face.

"I was also at Elizabeth Hospital that day, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the person who

operated on Shea," Avery said sternly as she watched the fear and anxiety on Zoe's face. "If you want

to threaten me, then you must first properly consider if you can handle being discarded!"

At that moment, the drinks and desserts arrived.

Avery casually began to enjoy her afternoon tea.

"I underestimated you, Avery Tate!"

Zoe went from having the winning ticket in her grasp to being completely helpless in a matter of

minutes.

"We're even! Let's just pretend like nothing happened! I won't tell Elliot about your secret, so I hope you

can keep your lips sealed, too!"

"Weren't you pretty cocky just now?" Avery mocked. " All you had was a tiny bit of leverage, and you

decided to act so conceitedly. How could you be in research with that attitude? Even after ten years,

you won't be able to treat Shea's illness." "Unless your skills surpass mine, you shouldn't insult

me!" Zoe snapped as she glared at Avery. "The kind of person Professor Hough despised the most was

people like you who gave up on medicine to pursue business!"

Avery took a sip of her juice.

The tart sweetness of it was refreshing.

"Aren't you curious about the person who operated on Shea?" Avery asked as she lifted her gaze and

stared coldly at Zoe. "You're not thinking that your lie won't ever be exposed, are you?"

"Don't you think I've looked into it? I just haven't

found out yet... You have information on them, but you won't tell me. You've been so jealous seeing

Elliot and I together-"

"Don't make me sick. If I really wanted to break you up, all I have to do is give Elliot a call and he'd

dump you."

"Don't you dare threaten me!" Zoe roared angrily.

"It doesn't feel too nice being threatened, does it?

Don't do unto others what you don't want to be done unto you."

Avery took a bite of her cake, then said casually, "The person who operated on Shea was a middle

aged man with very short hair. He was on the skinny side and was about five foot six..."

Zoe's eyes widened.

"Why are you helping me?!"

"That's because I don't ever want to see you again," Avery answered coldly. "Don't contact me again.

I'm too busy for your constant bickering."

"You got it!" exclaimed Zoe. "Thank you for giving me this important clue!" 1

A week until Avery's birthday, Ben burst through Elliot's office doors.

"Did you receive an invitation to Avery's birthday party, Elliot?"

"I did not," Elliot responded as his eyes dropped slightly. "Did you?"

"Me neither. I definitely wouldn't be invited if you weren't," Ben said. "I suspect she might not even have

plans to celebrate her birthday."

"That's a possibility."

Avery always kept a low-profile.

"You already prepared a gift, so you have to send it out, " Ben said. "Should I call up Tate Industries

and ask around?"

"Ask all you want. There's no need to report back to me."

Ten minutes later, Ben returned to report his replaceings to Elliot.

"Elliot! Avery's gone too far!" Ben ranted. "She's going all out for her birthday this year! She booked the

biggest ballroom at the Oasis Hotel to celebrate, but she didn't invite us!"

Elliot felt like a sharp knife pierced through his heart.

Perhaps in Avery's eyes, he was nothing but a stranger. 1

"She has her own reasons for not inviting me," Elliot said calmly and indifferently. "Are you done with

your work? Should I arrange more for you to do?" 1

Ben immediately fled.

The room instantly fell silent.

However, Elliot's heart was anything but calm.

Half an hour later, he called the Oasis Hotel.
