Elyette looked at her and said bitterly, “You don’t know how you could be after you get better.
How do you know you won’t be happy after you get better? And even if you don’t get treated, 1 won’t break up with Zoe because she is pregnant with my child.”
“Am I going to be an aunt?” Shea asked naturally. Elyette’s heart tightened. He looked at Shea with a complicated gaze. “Shea, who told you about this?”
Shea pulled her hand out of Elyette’s and turned around. Whenever she was unwilling to answer a question, she would avoid it this way.
Elyette walked over to her and grabbed her shoulders. He lowered his gaze and looked at her.” Tell me.”
“Mrs. Scarlet said that your children have to call me aunt.” Shea looked up and said, “Big Brother, am I Hayden‘s aunt?”
Mrs. Scarlet was Shea‘s nanny at school.
Elyette suddenly stiffened upon hearing Shea‘s question.
“What do you think?” When he said that, he thought about the answer Averie had previously given him. Averie had said that she had adopted Hayden.
“I hope that he is your child, that way, Hayden has to call me aunt.” Shea sounded a little emotional. “If you have a child with Dr. Sanford, they won’t like you anymore.”
“I don’t need them to like me. I only need you to be healthy.” Elyette‘s gaze turned cold. His heart was even colder.
It was the eighth day after New Year’s, and it was the first day back at work Mike could not go to the office. He had to care for the children at home.
Averie had not set foot out of Laura’s room. She had been in there for four days. She had been rewatching the video they had taken on New Year’s.
She would never have dreamed that that would be the last video that she would have of her mother.
Mike and the children were having breakfast. He planned to take them out to play that day. If they passed by his office, he would bring them into the office to have a look Suddenly, the door to Laura’s room opened.
Averie 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. Averie turned and entered her room. Mike immediately chased after her. “Averie, don‘t tell me you’re going to work?” Mike guessed.
Averie 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.
Averie shook her head. “I‘ll hire bodyguards.”
“Shouldn’t it be nannies?”
“No need.” Averie 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.” Averie’s eyes darkened. Her voice sounded tight. “Who told you that?” “Chad,” Mike said. “He said that Elyette sent his men to investigate the perpetrator. They found out quite a lot.” The peace that Averie 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?
Averie 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 Averie today. I must go look for her!” Mike said, then he took the car keys and bolted. When Mike arrived at the police station, Averie had just come out from it.
“Averie!” Mike got down from the car and ran toward her. It was as if Averie 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.
Averie’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 Averie‘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, Averie and Wanda met in a cafe. “Averie, 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 Averie‘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 Elyette‘s child. Soon, they will get married. In the future, Elyette and I will be considered family too.”
Averie’s grip on her coffee cup tighter.
She was not interested in Wanda talking about Elyette.
“Your brother is in prison. How could he have hired a killer?” She looked at Wanda and said,” You did it, right?“?
Wanda maintained her smile. “Averie, you should not resort to slander! In Aryadelle, murder is a crime punishable by death! Even hiring a killer is too! This was what you told me previously. How could I have done such a thing?”
It was as if she was saying, “I‘m not an idiot! Even if I did it, I will never admit it.”
The coffee sloshed inside the cup as Averie tightened her grip around the cup.
“Do you know why I asked to meet you?” Averie released the coffee cup.
Wanda glanced at Averie coldly. “Averie, your mother is dead. It‘s useless to pester me about it. I said I didn‘t do it, which means I didn‘t do it. Even if you kill me, I didn‘t–”
Averie got up from the chair. She swallowed her bitterness. “Of course, as long as you won‘t admit it, it wasn‘t you who did it.”
Then, Averie quickly walked over to Wanda. When Wanda realized what she was about to do, she quickly exclaimed, “Help!”
When Mike reached the cafe, he saw Averie grabbing Wanda by her hair and smashing her head against the wall.
There was fresh red blood on the wall!
Blood flowed from Wanda‘s pretty face!
“Shit!” Mike swore and quickly ran over. “Averie! Let go! You‘re going to kill her!”
Mike tried to stop the fight. He pushed the staff who were trying to stop the fight away. Their efforts had been in vain anyway.
He hugged Averie, trying to pull her away, yet she kept holding onto Wanda‘s hair, not letting her go!
“She killed my mother! I am going to get my revenge!” Averie yelled hysterically. “Let me go! I‘m going to kill her!”
“Are you nuts?! You still have two kids! Are you planning to make them orphans!” Mike yelled loudly, “Averie, wake up! Don‘t ruin your life for some evil person! Your mother will not rest in peace if she sees you like this!”
A member of the staff rushed over with a pair of scissors. She used it to chop off Wanda’s hair. It was the only way to tear them apart.
Averie looked at the hair in her hands. She disgustedly threw it at Wanda‘s face!
“Wanda, I will never let you go!” Averie could not calm down. She was still looking at Wanda viciously. “You either hire a murderer to kill me, or I‘ll make sure you die!”
Mike had never seen such a vicious Averie. She might look weak, but she was extremely strong.
Two members of the staff sent Wanda to the hospital. Only then, did Mike dare release Averie.
Mike took his wallet out and said to the cafe owner. “I‘m sorry. Please calculate the loss. I‘ll pay you double!”
The owner accepted the card and reminded him, “If that lady makes a police report, this lady will be arrested.”
Mike immediately said to the owner, “I‘ll pay your triple. When the police come to investigate, just say that I was the one who beat her up.”
Averie pulled Mike to the side. “I‘ll bear the consequences of my actions! Didn‘t I ask you to look after the kids? Why are you here?”
“Tammy came over. I got her to look after the kids.” Mike went over to Averie and sighed.” Thank goodness I sensed that something was off with you and followed you. If I didn‘t, the next time I see would be in prison.”
Mike was in the police station at two in the afternoon.
“Officer, I was the one that beat the woman up. Arrest me! It has nothing to do with Averie!” Mike said loudly, confessing to the crimes.
Averie was touched by his loyalty, but the situation did not call for it.
“Mike, I’m going to count to three. If you don’t leave, I won’t talk to you anymore,” Averie said coldly, sitting in the chair.
Mike was speechless.
“One. Two…” Averie started counting.
Mike’s face flushed. “Averie! Fine, live with your own mess! I‘ll leave you alone!”
Then, he turned and left the police station.
Coming out of the police station, Mike called Chad.
“Chad! Is your boss around? I‘m looking for him!” Mike was standing outside the police station, with the icy wind blowing against him. He was feeling extremely aggrieved.
Despite how he was feeling, he could not leave Averie alone. Averie was in a special situation at that moment. When one was extremely agitated, they could do anything.
She could kill someone today, but what if she killed herself the next day?
“We just started work today. It‘s a little busy. Why are you looking for him?” Chad was talking fast. After asking his question, he came to a realization. “You‘re looking for my boss. Did something happen to Averie?”
“She‘s in a mess. She almost killed Wanda today. She‘s at the police station right now. I think she is going to be detained. Isn‘t your boss powerful? Get him to bail her out! If he does not post her bail, i‘ll tell everyone that this was all his doing!”
