Chapter 503
When His Eyes Opened
Mike tried to hold back his glee as he said, âItâs a deal!â
âAlright,â Elliot responded.
âOur client this time is the Border Security Force. As for accommodation, Averyâs staying on the base
itself,â Mike said as he broke into a maniacal cackle. âI told you that you canât get in there. They wonât
just let you into their base.â
Elliot gritted his teeth, then hung up the2e phone.
Zirconia City was at the countryâs border. It would take a four-hour flight to get there from here.
He did not know what time Averyâs 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, âMiss Zoe Sanford is downstairs, Mr. Foster.
She said sheâs here to apologize toaa you.â
âAdd her to the black list and never let her take one step into the company ever again!â Elliot snapped
coldly without hesitation.
âYes, Sir!â
Zoeâs 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.
âCole, go on vacation abroad with me.â
âWhatâs wrong? Did my uncle upset you again?â Cole asked.
âHa! I wish he cared about me enough to do that. He wonât even see me now,â Zoe said with a bitter
laugh. âWonât you come cheer me up?â
âLet me settle some work I have on hand⦠Didnât you say you gave up on him before, Zoe? Why did
you go looking for him again?â
âI gave up on him a long time ago. I just didnât expect him to take away my chance to earn more
money!â
âI see. You already made three hundred million. Thatâs already a lot,â Cole said, then asked,â Where do
you want to go?â
âBridgedale.â
âWhatâs so fun about Bridgedale? Didnât you live there for years? Letâs go somewhere else!â
A sinister grin appeared on Zoeâs face as she said, âYou donât really think Iâm going just for fun, do you?
Thereâs something important I need to do in Bridgedale.â
âSomething important?â Cole was confused. âDidnât you decide to settle down here in Aryadelle? What
important thing do you have left to do there?â
âIâll tell you when I see you.â
At noon, Ben walked into the presidentâs office at Sterling Group.
âLetâs go out for lunch, Elliot!â
Elliot finished up the last bit of his work, then shut his laptop.
âYou go ahead! Iâm going to the airport.â
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!
âOh? Are you going to look for Avery?â Ben teased. âI knew youâd go to her. Sheâs pregnant with your
child, after all. How could you not cheer her up? Haha!â
Then, Ben pulled out an envelope and handed it over to Elliot.
It was a ticket for that afternoonâs first flight out to Zirconia.
Elliot took the ticket from Ben.
His hawk-like eyes were deep and vast globes as he said, âEven if she wasnât carrying my child, I
would still go to her.â
