Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 If Elliot had been run over last night, would it be guaranteed that the perpetrator would be punished?

Even if the murderer paid for his crimes, would it bring Elliot back to life?

Absolutely not.

“I’m not blaming you, Elliot… I just can’t immediately accept the way you handled things…” Avery said in a voice as soft as cotton.

“You don’t need to accept it. You just need to know that I would never hurt anyone who was innocent.”

“Okay.”

“Get some rest,” Elliot said, then gently caressed Avery’s back to get her to fall asleep.

Wrapped in his arms and surrounded by his unique scent, Avery quickly fell into a deep slumber.

At 5 p.m. that evening, Avery got a call from the police requesting her presence at the station right away.

She hung up the phone and rushed out of the house without telling Elliot.

When she arrived at the station, her gaze immediately fell on Wanda’s bloodshot eyes.

Those same eyes filled with revulsion at the sight of Avery.

The two women were escorted into the station by a police officer and seated down in a private room.

“The DNA test confirmed the victim’s identity as Cassandra Tate.”

Wanda burst into tears upon hearing those words.

“My daughter was murdered! She was always a happy-go-lucky girl! How could she be dead?!”

“From our investigation, we suspect Cassandra Tate of being the person responsible for a car .crash on Concord Street last night,” revealed the police officer. “She is also suspected to be

behind the attempted assassination of Elliot Foster. Here is the evidence we collected.”

A stack of documents and a cell phone were laid out in front of Avery and Wanda.

Avery simply glanced at the items and did not pick them up.

“That’s impossible! She’s not that brave!” Wanda cried as she violently shook her head in denial. “She’s still in college! How could she possibly try to murder anybody?!”

“She hired an assassin. If Mr. Foster’s bodyguards had not reacted in time, he would be dead,” said the officer. “Mr. Foster is a well-known entrepreneur in Avonsville and has contributed a lot to the city’s welfare. Cassandra broke the law. If she had not committed suicide, she would have had to answer for her crimes in the end.”
