"Don't even think about beating her if you can't stop her from having the child!" Zoe said as she used her words to trigger Wanda.
"You can also forget about getting any investments from me after that!" Wanda's eyes lit up, then said, "How much more money can you get from Elliot Foster? Zoe lifted her chin, then said confidently,” At least another one hundred and fifty five million." "Don't worry!" Wanda said. "l won't let the child she's carrying see the light of day!" When Avery returned home from work that evening, she noticed a car parked at the front gate.
Did they have a guest? She parked her car, then opened the door and got out.
The two children and Shea walked out of the villa's front door together.
"Mommy!" Layla called out.

"What's Shea doing here?" Mike asked.
Shea approached them with a soft smile on her face.
"I'm going home, Avery!" she said, then left.
Avery glanced at Layla and asked, "When did Shea get here, Layla?" "She was waiting at the front gate when Hayden and | got home from school,” Layla said with furrowed brows. "She told Hayden a secret, but won't tell me about it." Hearing this, Avery turned to look at Hayden.
A secret? What secret could there possibly be between Hayden and Shea? "Didn't you say you were hungry, Avery? Let's have dinner!" Mike said, then carried Layla into the house.
Hayden did not tell Avery about his secret with Shea, neither did she ask him about it.
She should respect her son's privacy.
The next day, the finals of the National Youth Programming Championships were being held at the city's science museum.
Over sixty of the country's child geniuses were competing.

She was the one who brought Hayden to participate in the competition.

Shea thought it was a great opportunity, so she convinced Hayden into participating.
An hour ;e$ When the host announced that Hayden Tate was the champion, Shea's heart pounded with excitement.
After the prize giving ceremony, Shea rushed on stage with a bouquet of flowers. "Hayden! | knew you were the best!" she exclaimed as she picked Hayden up and happily twirled around the stage.
"Put me down!" Hayden said with a pained expression on his face.
Shea released him, then turned to the host and said, "Can we go now? We need to go and celebrate!" There were other winners standing on the side who were older than Hayden but placed behind him.
They were extremely unhappy.
When they saw Shea holding Hayden's hand, one of them shouted, "Isn't that the crazy lady who ran off last year? The one that Elliot Foster spent millions to look for, remember?" "Holy crap! | think it is her!" cried another boy. "I was wondering how Hayden Tate managed to get straight to the finals and become the champion! It was all because of Elliot Foster! That's some shady business!" Everyone in the venue glared at Hayden with mocking eyes and used cruel words to attack him.
Hayden's body stiffened as he felt a throbbing ache in his heart.
He did not use Elliot Foster to win the competition! He did not! With reddened eyes, he threw the trophy across the room!
