Upon hearing Zoe’s voice, Elyette 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?
Elyette started to carefully think back about what he had said, but his head hurt. He could not think in peace.
Forget about it!
No matter what he had said, it was alright if Zoe heard.
Zoe felt as if something huge had hit her head! It felt like her mind was being slowly pulled apart! Although she did not want to accept that Averie’s skills were better than hers, she had no choice but to do so.
Averie was Professor Hough’s last pupil! The anonymous doctor that operated on Shea twice was her too! She was the only one who did not want anything from Elyette. That would not be the case if it was anyone else!
Thus, everything that she had received from Elyette was thanks to Averie. If Averie were to reveal the truth to Elyette one day, she would everything that she now had.
Instantly, she went from the dominating to subservient. She had to quickly try and come up with a way to turn the tables around.
After breakfast the next morning, Zoe accompanied Rosalie on a walk in the garden.
“Aunt Rosalie, Elyette had told me the reason he canceled our engagement when he called me yesterday,” said Zoe.
Rosalie felt guilty, so she had an apologetic expression on her face.
“Do you know where he was yesterday morning?” Zoe smiled bitterly and exhaled. “He was with Averie.”
“Oh! What a terrible thing!” Rosalie furrowed her brows.
“Elyette told me that he still loves Averie, which was why he could not be engaged to me.” Zoe’s eyes were red. “I’ve been thinking all night long. I don’t blame Elyette. I was the one who forced him to be with me. I’m happy to bear his child, and I hope that he too will find happiness.”
Rosalie did not expect Zoe to be such a forgiving and generous person.
“Aunt Rosalie, can you help me get Averie? If I were to ask her myself, she will not come.” Zoe lowered her gaze. “I only want to talk to her. As long she treats Elyette well, I will leave.”
Rosalie could not refuse Zoe’s request.
An hour later, Averie appeared by the Fosters.
Averie initially had not wanted to come, but Rosalie made her come. Not only was Rosalie Elyette ‘s mother, but she was also senior to Averie. Averie could not refuse her.
After parking her car right outside the mansion, she entered the courtyard.
With a single glance, she could vaguely tell that it was Zoe who was standing under the tree. When Zoe saw her, she immediately approached her.
“Averie, let’s talk!” Zoe stood before her and said honestly, “I was the one that asked Aunt Rosalie to get you to come.
Averie turned, wanting to leave, but Zoe grabbed her arm. She prevented Averie from leaving.
“Averie! You stole my man, so you’re embarrassed to see me now, aren’t you?” Zoe sneered. “I’ m such a failure! Even if Elyette hugged me at night, the name he whispers is yours, but God was kind to me. He gave me Elyette’s child. My child is extremely healthy, unlike yours- an idiot.”
Averie clenched her hands tightly into fists. Her voice trembled, “Who are you calling an idiot?
“Your son! He goes to a special needs school, right? If he is not an idiot, what is he? Even if Elyette knows that he is his son, he will not let him inherit the family business. The person who will inherit Foster’s wealth will be my son!” Zoe rubbed her tummy and looked at Averie provocatively
Averie gritted her teeth, rage burning in her eyes.
The last straw of her sensibility told her to leave, quickly. However, Zoe had grabbed her hands, preventing her from leaving.
“Let go!” Averie forcefully shook Zoe off. “Ah!” Zoe suddenly fell backward, hitting the stone table behind her!
Averie was so stunned to see what happened she was at a loss for words.
She had merely shaken Zoe off, how could she have caused her to fall?
Zoe was lying on the ground, clutching her tummy and wailing in pain. “My child… my child…”
Zoe’s screams attracted the attention of the nanny and bodyguards as well as Rosalie.
“Zoe! How did you fall!” Rosalie said with a furious expression. “Did Averie push you?”
How could Zoe have fallen if not for Averie? She could not have accidentally fallen. The ground was flat and even, therefore she could not have tripped.
Zoe cried terribly and gasped in pain. “Averie! You have already stolen Elyette’s heart! You won’t even let our child go? My child is innocent,”
Averie shuddered in the face of Zoe’s slander. She realized that that was a setup. However, Averie could not understand why Zoe had risked her child in doing so.
Could she have done this because she knew that this is what would finally make Elyette hate her? What if something were to truly happen to the child?
“Zoe. You use your own child to slander me. You are not worthy of motherhood!” Averie was furious.
“It, it hurts! Averie! It was you! You pushed me! So many people saw it!” The bodyguard helped Zoe up. She sounded so miserable. “If anything were to happen to my child, I will not let you go! Even in death, I will haunt you!”
The bodyguard carried Zoe and quickly headed to the car.
Rosalie stiffened! The ball of fury in her heart was getting bigger by the moment! She raised her hand and slapped Averie across the face, hard!
“Averie, is it because of Elyette’s lenience that you dare behave so boldly? We are the Fosters! How dare you harm my grandchild?! If anything were to happen to the child, I’ll make sure that you are buried with him!” spat Rosalie, and she stormed off to assist the nanny.
After the cars left, there was dead silence.
Averie’s face was burning. Her feet were as heavy as lead. She did not push Zoe. She did not even plan on doing anything to Zoe’s child.
At that moment, a figure came out of the mansion. Averie looked up to see that it was Cole.
He had heard the exchange, but he had not come during the altercation. What was he doing here now? Did he want to see if his child had been murdered?
He walked over to Averie and stood in front of her. He smiled coldly. “Averie, I’m saddened to see how miserable you look.”
“Stop your pretensions!” Averie retorted. “Even if I did push Zoe, so what?”
She turned around and left.
“Averie, if I were you, I would stay away from Elyette!” Cole warned her, “But I think it’s too late now…”
Zoe’s child was definitely dead, and the blame would be lay at Averie’s feet.
He wondered how Elyette would react when he found out about that.
At the hospital, Zoe was sent to the emergency room. Rosalie was outside the emergency room, calling Elyette,
“Elyette, I saw it with my own eyes! Averie pushed Zoe!” exaggerated Rosalie. “Averie is a vicious woman! She pushed Zoe into the stone table! When we were at the hospital, Zoe started bleeding. My grandchild—”. At that, Rosalie could no longer hold back, and she started crying.
On the other end of the line, Elyette’s hand gripped his phone tighter.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the hospital.
“Mr. Foster, I’m sorry. Your child couldn’t be saved,” said the doctor. “Miss Sanford passed out from sadness.”
Rosalie was choking on her tears as she stood by the side. She could not speak.
Zoe’s father, Richard, was carrying a black bag. His face was blue. In the bag he held was the dead fetus. .
“Elyette, it was fine that you were unable to honor my daughter, however, how could you allow someone to harm my grandchild?! How terrible could you be!” Richard barked.
Elyette glanced at the black bag and said, “Give me the child.”
ho
His feelings for the dead child were complicated, however, sadness was not one of them.
However, the thought of Averie being responsible for the death of the child left him burning with rage. At the same time, a part of him was telling him to conduct a paternity test on the fetus.
“Hehe! Why do you want the child? Can you bring it back to life?” Richard held onto the tiny bag. “You don’t deserve to be a father! Falling in love with you was the stupidest mistake that my daughter has ever made in her life! You killed your child! Even if this child comes back as a ghost, it will haunt you!”
