Chapter 303
Avery came out of Laura’s room.
When Mike saw her, he thought he saw a ghost. She had not seen daylight for the past few days. She looked pale and weary. On top of that, she had barely eaten anything. She looked emaciated.
When the children saw her, they were stunned too. Avery turned and entered her room. Mike immediately chased after her. “Avery, don‘t tell me you’re going to work?” Mike guessed.
Avery took out a set of clothes from her closet and headed to the bathroom. “You stay at home with the kids. I’ll head to the office and have a look.” “Oh, so I‘ll stay at home and look after the kids in the future?” Mike asked.
Avery shook her head. “I‘ll hire bodyguards.”
“Shouldn’t it be nannies?”
“No need.” Avery planned to care for all her children‘s needs herself. The bodyguards only needed to send the children to school and pick them up from school, ensuring their safety. That was enough.
“By the way, I heard that Laura’s accident was not an ordinary accident but murder,” Mike said. “Go to the police station and ask about it later.” Avery’s eyes darkened. Her voice sounded tight. “Who told you that?” “Chad,” Mike said. “He said that Elliot sent his men to investigate the perpetrator. They found out quite a lot.” The peace that Avery felt was crushed.
If it was murder, she did not need to pause for a second to think of a suspect Other than Wanda, who else could it be?
Avery had just left when Tammy‘s car pulled in. Mike passed the children to Tammy. “Tammy, please help look after the kids. Something is off about Avery today. I must go look for her!” Mike said, then he took the car keys and bolted. When Mike arrived at the police station, Avery had just come out from it.
“Avery!” Mike got down from the car and ran toward her. It was as if Avery has lost her soul. She did not hear Mike.
She got in the car, started the engine, and quickly left.
Mike saw her car passing him by. He placed his hands on his hips and sighed.
Avery’s vision was getting blurry as she drove. Sure enough! It was not an accident! It was murder! She initially thought it was Wanda, but the police told her that currently, the evidence showed that it was James who had hired the killer
James had transferred the money from his account into the perpetrator‘s account. James himself had also confessed to murder.
How comical! How ridiculous! He was in prison. How could he have hired a murderer? Moreover, he was about to be executed!
One could not be hung a second time for killing another person. It was a perfect plan. Tears fell from Avery‘s eyes. All this was Wanda‘s doing! As all the evidence pointed to James, Wanda would not be in any trouble.
An hour later, Avery and Wanda met in a cafe. “Avery, I never would have thought your mother‘s death would take such a toll on you. Look a t how haggard you look,” Wanda looked at Avery‘s face and said insincerely, “I hope you get better soon. After all, many terrible things are waiting for you in the future.” Wanda picked up the cup of coffee and elegantly took a sip. “By the way, I forgot to tell you,” Wanda continued to say with a smile, “My current boyfriend is Zoe‘s father. Zoe is now pregnant with Elliot‘s child. Soon, they will get married. In the future, Elliot and I will be considered family too.”
