Chapter 333

Shea was tidying her desk with Mrs. Cooper’s help.

Elliot’s Adam’s apple rolled in his throat as guilt overcame him.

Every time Shea told him she felt dizzy the past few days, he had told her to get more rest.

He did not expect sleeping pills to be the cause of her discomfort.

If Avery had not taken her to the hospital for the checkup, who knows how long she would have continued taking

the pills.

Elliot felt grateful towards Avery, but he did not know how to express his thanks.

The next day, Mrs. Cooper showed up at Avery’s house first thing in the morning.

Avery was surprised, and quickly invited Mrs. Cooper into her home.

“I’m sorry for showing up without notice, Avery,” Mrs. Cooper said as she handed two food

to you.”

“Thank you! Why did you come by this early?” Avery said as she poured a glass of water for her guest.

“To be honest, Master Elliot was the one who asked me to come by and thank you,” Mrs. Cooper said warily. “It was

a good thing you took Shea to the hospital yesterday. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what could have happened.”

The smile on Avery’s face vanished.

“You have no idea how scary things were, Avery,” Mrs. Cooper said as fear lingered inside of her. “Zoe said she had

instructed Mrs. Scarlet to only give Shea the pills for three days, but Mrs. Scarlet said Zoe never mentioned any of

that to her. Mrs. Scarlet was in tears when she confided in me last night… I’d much rather trust her. After all, she’s

been taking care of Shea for over twenty years. She would never hurt her.”

Avery picked up on a key point and asked, “Mrs. Scarlet’s taken care of Shea for twenty years? Does that mean

Shea’s been with the Fosters for twenty years?”

“I think so! All Mrs. Scarlet ever told me was that Shea was a poor little thing. She never revealed anything else to

me.”

Avery recalled how Elliot had kept his lips tightly sealed whenever she used to ask him about Shea.

“I didn’t expect Zoe to be such a scheming woman.” Mrs. Cooper suddenly let out a sigh, then said, “Master Elliot’s

about to be engaged to her. I’m afraid she’s not a good person.”

“He’s not worried, so you shouldn’t be either,” Avery comforted her.

“I’m sorry, Avery. I shouldn’t talk to you about these things. I’m sure you’ll find a much better man in the future,”

Mrs. Cooper said. Then, she rose from her seat and said, “Give me a call if you finish the pickles and want more. I’ll

send more over.”

“Okay. Thank you,” Avery said, then sent Mrs. Cooper on her way.

She wanted to pretend as if she was too busy to care about the news of Elliot’s engagement.

However, she spent the entire time tossing and turning in bed the night before.

In the end, she went on social media and searched for some key words.

She accidentally came across Zoe’s social media page.

Zoe had uploaded several new posts in the past few days. She showed off photos of high-end wedding gowns,

expensive diamond rings, and… photos of her pregnant belly.

Every single photo was accompanied by captions of pure bliss.

Apart from Zoe’s social media page, Avery also came across a bunch of related images.

For example, there were photos of Žoe and Elliot that people took when they bumped into them while shopping.

Avery opened up the photos and saw Zoe clinging onto Elliot’s arm. They looked as close as a couple on a shopping

spree.

Some of their friends also posted photos of the invitations they received for their engagement

party.

Avery clicked on the invitation.

Elliot’s and Zoe’s names were right next to each other, and they had signed the invitations off personally.

A strange feeling of disappointment washed over Avery! This was because she never received an invitation to their

engagement party.
