EP 5

For that reason, she felt some sympathy for Elliot and Rosalie. Having an heir would also be the perfect revenge on Cole because that would prevent him from getting a single dime of Elliot's money. She was therefore willing to give it a try. Besides, even if she was unwilling, the Fosters were powerful enough to compel her into doing it.

"I'll do it," Avery responded without hesitation.

Once tea was over, Avery walked out of the old mansion and prepared to return home.

Cole stopped her before she could leave.

The morning sun was shining, and the cicadas were chirping.

Avery felt sick to her stomach at the sight of Cole's face.

"Please take the gifts home first, Mrs. Cooper," Avery said.

Mrs. Cooper nodded, then walked off with the gifts.

Cole made sure no one was around, then said, "You're breaking my heart, Avery! You never let me touch you the entire time we were dating, but now you've agreed to give birth to Uncle Elliot's kid!"

"Giving him a child means getting his estate. Why wouldn't I do it?" Avery snickered as she deliberately chose words that would hurt him.

Sure enough, Cole became agitated.

"It's not a bad idea, but you can have my kid instead and say it's Uncle Elliot's. It would still be a Foster. Even if my grandmother gets angry, she would never make you abort it."

The sneer on Avery's face instantly vanished.

"It's good to be ambitious, Cole, but ambition without brains can be a dangerous thing," Avery warned. "I heard that the people by Elliot's side are a ruthless bunch. As long as he's breathing, his minions will be waiting for him to wake up. Do you really think they'll let you go if they find out that I got pregnant with your child?"

Avery's words were like a wave of ice- cold water, chilling Cole to his core.

He knew better than anyone else that each one of his uncle's people was more ruthless than the last.

The fact that they had kept a low profile after Elliot's accident was not an indication that they were not around anymore.

Avery chuckled mockingly and said, " I'm off. Your grandmother has arranged for a doctor to pick me up back at your uncle's place.

When Avery returned to Elliot's mansion, she was immediately taken to the hospital for a medical checkup by two doctors.

If she was ovulating, they would extract the eggs from her body. Otherwise, they would give her a shot to stimulate ovulation.

"There's no need to worry, Mrs. Foster. This might hurt a little, but once you give birth to Mr. Foster's child, your position in the Fosters will be secure," consoled one of the female doctors.

Avery lay on the bed as her heartbeat quickened.

"How long will it take to make that happen?"
