Mike tried to hold back his glee as he said, “It’s a deal!”
“Alright,” Elliot responded.
“Our client this time is the Border Security Force. As for accommodation, Avery’s staying on the base
itself,” Mike said as he broke into a maniacal cackle. “I told you that you can’t get in there. They won’t
just let you into their base.”
Elliot gritted his teeth, then hung up the2e phone.
Zirconia City was at the country’s border. It would take a four-hour flight to get there from here.
He did not know what time Avery’s flight was that morning, but she probably did not arrive in
Zirconiad yet.
Even if her plane already landed, it would have just done so.
Avery had gone to a unique place that was not typically dangerous, so Elliot was not aszd worried.
He could wait for her to return from her business trip to explain things to her.
If he hastily showed up in Zirconia and interfered with her work, she might be even more upset withci
him.
Once Elliot dropped Shea at home, he made his way to his office.
Not long after he arrived, his secretary walked in and said, “Miss Zoe Sanford is downstairs, Mr. Foster.
She said she’s here to apologize toaa you.”
“Add her to the black list and never let her take one step into the company ever again!” Elliot snapped
coldly without hesitation.
“Yes, Sir!”
Zoe’s self esteem took a huge blow after she was kicked out of the Sterling Group building.
Before she met Elliot, she was still considered an outstanding lady of some status.
She could not believe that Elliot would treat her this way.
It was a good thing that the child she was pregnant with before was not his. Otherwise, she would lose
her mind if he treated her this way.
Zoe got into her car, pulled out her phone and called Cole Foster.
“Cole, go on vacation abroad with me.”
“What’s wrong? Did my uncle upset you again?” Cole asked.
“Ha! I wish he cared about me enough to do that. He won’t even see me now,” Zoe said with a bitter
laugh. “Won’t you come cheer me up?”
“Let me settle some work I have on hand… Didn’t you say you gave up on him before, Zoe? Why did
you go looking for him again?”
“I gave up on him a long time ago. I just didn’t expect him to take away my chance to earn more
money!”
“I see. You already made three hundred million. That’s already a lot,” Cole said, then asked,” Where do
you want to go?”
“Bridgedale.”
“What’s so fun about Bridgedale? Didn’t you live there for years? Let’s go somewhere else!”
A sinister grin appeared on Zoe’s face as she said, “You don’t really think I’m going just for fun, do you?
There’s something important I need to do in Bridgedale.”
“Something important?” Cole was confused. “Didn’t you decide to settle down here in Aryadelle? What
important thing do you have left to do there?”
“I’ll tell you when I see you.”
At noon, Ben walked into the president’s office at Sterling Group.
“Let’s go out for lunch, Elliot!”
Elliot finished up the last bit of his work, then shut his laptop.
“You go ahead! I’m going to the airport.”
He decided to go to Zirconia to look for Avery.
Even if she found him annoying, he still had to explain things to her face!
“Oh? Are you going to look for Avery?” Ben teased. “I knew you’d go to her. She’s pregnant with your
child, after all. How could you not cheer her up? Haha!”
Then, Ben pulled out an envelope and handed it over to Elliot.
It was a ticket for that afternoon’s first flight out to Zirconia.
Elliot took the ticket from Ben.
His hawk-like eyes were deep and vast globes as he said, “Even if she wasn’t carrying my child, I
would still go to her.”
