Chapter 346

Has Avery ever spoken the truth? Was she being cautious or was she treating him as the
enemy?

If she was being cautious of him, why? What was she afraid of?

If she treated him as the enemy- That was even harder to understand! He had never done anything to
hurt her, why was she so hostile toward him?

Elliot’s brows were scrunched tightly the entire journey back. Once he reached home, Mrs. Cooper took
Shea.

Elliot received a call and immediately drove away.

At the Twilight Bar, Ben saw Elliot coming over. He immediately pulled him over to the sofa.

“Elliot! You have been missing the entire day, where have you been?” Ben poured him some wine.

“I went to see Eric Santos.” He accepted the glass of wine and took a sip. “None of you will guess who
performed his surgery.”

Everyone looked at Elliot, waiting for him to continue, but he did not want to continue.

“Have I been treating Avery badly?” He furrowed his brows and downed the alcohol. “She was the one
who had asked for the divorce. No matter how I tried to make her stay, she insisted on leaving. After the
divorce, she rebuilt her company; I lived my life. When she’s in trouble, I try to help her as best I can, yet
she wants a clean break. She wants to draw a line. She asked me to go with Zoe, and I listened to her…
But in the end, she still hates me. Why?”

Elliot’s tone signified that he was rather drunk.



Zoe was his current woman, yet the woman he constantly thought of was Avery. Even at that moment, he
was drowning himself in his alcohol and sorrow because of Avery.

“Elliot, you have done your best with Avery! She’s only that arrogant because you treat her too well! I
have long seen through her! The better you treat her, the more she disrespects you! Only by being
ruthless will she show you some respect!”

“I too think that you treat Avery too well! You gave her fifteen million last year. Did she thank you? I’m
sure she did not, right?”

“Dunking fifteen million into a pool at least gets you a splash! Elliot, Avery is not worth it!” Everyone
joined the fray. They cursed and ran their mouths. At eleven that night, Elliot exited the bar reeking of
alcohol. Once he got in the car, the driver drove away.

Elliot took his phone out. He found a number in his contacts. He had a question he wanted to ask the
family doctor.

After the call connected, he asked in a hoarse voice, “Could an ordinary medical student operate on a
patient as well as a qualified doctor? I’m not talking about a minor surgery. I’m talking about brain
surgery. The most outrageous part about this is that the surgery was a success!”

Only silence came from the other end of the line.

Elliot’s breathing got heavier. He rubbed the middle of his brows and continued, “I’m talking about
Professor Hough and his pupils. His pupil… is… Avery. I could not find any records of her in the medical
field, but the thing is, she operated on Eric Santos! I find this whole thing strange! How did Wesley dare
let Avery operate on Eric?”

On the other end of the line, Zoe’s blood was boiling!



Elliot had dialed the wrong number! He was supposed to call the family doctor, but he called her instead!
He said that Avery had operated on Eric!

No wonder Eric would help Tate Industries.

However, how did Avery have such abilities? Could she be Professor Hough’s last pupil?

“Elliot, you got the wrong number.” Zoe’s voice was cold and tight as if she was being choked by
someone.

Upon hearing Zoe’s voice, Elliot suddenly sobered!

He looked at his phone. When he saw Zoe’s name, he immediately hung up! He had made a huge
mistake while he was drunk! Did that mean that Zoe heard all the things he had said a moment ago?
