Chapter 350

Elliot was silent for a few seconds. He had never thought that she could be this arrogant.

“Avery, this is a life you’re talking about!” he growled. “How could you be so coldblooded?”

“Is your son gone?” Avery took a deep breath. She saluted Zoe. “Is Zoe secretly laughing right now?
Trading her son to set me up, no wonder she is the woman who is still by your side!”

Avery’s words carried a double meaning. Not only did she mean that Zoe was vicious and ruthless, but
also that he possessed the same nature as her.

Elliot’s expressions darkened. “She is bleeding out, and the doctors are trying to resuscitate her. If this is
all part of her plan, then not only did she risk her child, but she also risked her own life. Do you think that
you are so smart now?”

Avery’s lips moved, but no words came out.

“Avery, this time, I will not go soft on you anymore!” Elliot said each word slowly before hanging up.

Avery held onto her phone. Her face was pale, and she felt weak as if someone had sucked up all her
energy.

Mike looked at her, worried. From what she had said a moment ago, it seemed that things were serious.
“Avery, what on earth happened?”

Avery quickly collected her emotions. “It’s fine. Go have lunch!”

“What do you mean it’s fine! I heard it all. Zoe had a miscarriage. Did she blame it on you? That
shameless woman! She deserves to get beaten up!” Mike clenched his fist. He could no longer hold back
his fiery temper.



“I don’t need you to beat her up. She is bleeding out, and they are trying to resuscitate her,” said Avery
calmly. “I’m now even starting to think that I might have pushed her by mistake. And it is because of me
that she is bleeding out. But if she did do it, then the price she is paying is too high.”

At her words, Mike furrowed his brows. “Is Elliot looking for trouble?”

“You don’t have to worry about me. Even if he comes for me, he won’t bury me with his son,” said Avery
calmly.

“His son was not even born. So, it can’t really be called human! I used to study law!” boasted Mike. “But
he might come for revenge, and he would fight you because of this.”

“Hmm, go for lunch!”

“But I’m worried for you.”

“Does your concern stop him from getting his revenge?” Avery stood up from her desk and pushed Mike
out the door. “Bring some food back for me, thank you.”

“Avery, if he comes looking for you, you must call me. I will protect you,” Mike advised.

“Hmm.”

After Mike left, Avery sat down once again.

She clenched her fists tightly. Her mind started replaying the scenes of that morning.

Zoe had gotten Rosalie to contact Avery to meet her at the old Foster mansion. Once she had reached,
every single word Zoe had said was provocative. It had easily infuriated her.

She had wanted to leave many times, but Zoe had refused to release her arm not allowing her to leave.



If Zoe had truly wanted to say something to her, she could have easily told it to her over the phone, and
yet, she had taken the trouble to ensure that she was at the Foster mansion.

The more Avery thought, the more that she had felt that the entire situation had been a setup!

She too had given birth to children before. Technically, even if one were to suffer a fall, the end result
would not have necessarily been a miscarriage, and even then, a miscarriage would not have resulted in
a bleed out.

Zoe could not have predicted the hemorrhage that occurred, but the fact that she had gambled with the
life of her child was proof that she did not have any feelings for it.

Zoe wanted to marry Elliot so badly, so how could she possibly not have feelings for the child?

Could the child be the problem? At that thought, Avery’s back was dripping with cold sweat.
