Chapter 384
Elliot’s question made Avery furrow her brows.
What was he talking about? He was asking her about what happened between her and his mother?
That was strange! Why did he not just ask his mother?
Even stranger was the fact that Rosalie had not told him her findings? More than an hour had passed, why has she not told him yet?
Avery picked up her glass of water and took a sip. She forced herself to calm down.
“Why don’t you ask your mother this question?” As Avery said that she started to suspect something was going on.
Something must have happened which was why Rosalie had not told Elliot the truth.
“My mother is dead.” Elliot’s breath was heavy. He said bitterly, “You are the last person she spoke to before her death. I want to know what the two of you were talking about.”
Avery’s hand which held the glass swayed! She felt dizzy and quickly put down the glass.
She muttered, “Your mother has passed away? What happened?”
“Answer my question! What did the two of you talk about!” Elliot was losing patience! He initially thought that his mother’s death was an accident. However, at that moment, he started to suspect that there was something more to it.
His mother had lived in that building for most of her life. How could she have suddenly fallen? Had she been agitated before the fall?
Her last call was to Avery. This was too suspicious! They had not been in contact all this time, and then they were on call for five whole minutes?
Avery’s face flushed red at his questions.
‘
She was indeed afraid that Rosalie would tell him the truth, but she had never expected Rosalie to die!
Rosalie’s death had nothing to do with her, but the tone of his voice told her that he suspected her!
Avery’s heart turned cold! All the doubts and suspicions could spoil a person’s relationship!
The reason she did not tell him about her children’s existence was that she did not trust him!
She did not think that he would make a good father! She did not trust him to be good to her children!
From his attitude, she could see that he was selfish, dictatorial, and violent!
“The conversation I had with your mom is something between us! I had nothing to do with her death!” Avery said through gritted teeth.
Elliot was extremely disappointed with Avery’s answer.
“It looks like my mother’s death has something to do with you,” he sneered and said hoarsely.
He was grieving for his mother, yet she was still on the defense. She was prickly and defensive! She had to make sure he bled!
He only wanted to know what his mother had said to her before she died. Was this too much to ask for?
It was not too much.
She was being too much!
“You have already determined that I killed your mother. No matter what I say, it doesn’t matter! If you are accusing me, it means that I have killed your mother!”
Avery’s temples hurt. She spoke, enunciating each word clearly, “Elliot. The amount of love I had for you in the past, is the amount of hate I hold for you now! I will no longer hold out any hope for you! I will remember how you have wrongfully accused me of murdering your mother for the rest of my life!”
In a single breath, she told said everything she wanted to say. She could not imagine how much pain he was in, because she was in so much more pain than him!
That morning, his mother had yelled and gloated at her misery and pain, now that she was gone, he was suspecting her of killing his mother.
How ridiculous! How comical!
Avery’s words made Elliot’s heart turn even colder. Since she hated him so much, and she would not love him anymore, then why should he show her mercy? “Go and bring Avery over!” Elliot turned to the side and said to the bodyguard.
