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 Avery's skills were better than hers, she had no choice but to do so.

"Avery! You stole my man, so you're embarrassed to see me now, aren't you?" Zoe sneered. "I'm such a failure! Even if Elliot hugged me at night, the name he whispers is yours, but God was kind to me. He gave me Elliot's child. My child is extremely healthy, unlike yours— an idiot." Avery 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 Elliot knows that he is his son, he will not let him inherit the family business.
