Chapter 2017
Emilio gasped and said, “My eldest brother told you that?!”
Avery: “no.”
“Since it’s not, why do you think I did it? Just because my eldest brother fell, I can become the heir to the Jones family?” Emilio asked.
Avery didn’t answer, it was the default.
“Haha! You’re not the first to guess like this. I don’t care what others think of me, because their narrow-mindedness can’t affect me. But you say that, I’m a little sad.” Emilio’s tone was aggrieved.
Avery pondered for a moment, then expressed her own analysis: “your eldest brother did not say that you did it, but what your eldest brother meant was that someone planned this car accident and deliberately harmed him. Apart from Jones family, I do not meet other people.”
“How come you don’t know other people?” Emilio did not accept her explanation, “Margaret, you should know her, right? I haven’t forgotten the surprise on your face when I told you about Margaret. You must have been chasing her after asking, where did this woman come from, why did my father stay with her…but you didn’t ask anything.”
“I’m also very surprised. Margaret went to school to find Professor Hough before, but your father said that you and Margaret met for the first time at your family banquet. Have you really never met Margaret at school before?” Avery asked question.
Emilio: “Avery, these are not important…”

“What do my dad and my brother think, I don’t know. You don’t look at us as a family, but we are not as unified as you think. I was only recognized by my dad when I was an adult. ..so you should believe that the probability of me telling the truth to you is probably higher than the probability of telling the truth to my dad.”
Avery: “So your brother’s car accident, did you do it?”
“No.” Emilio answered her question without hesitation, “If I did it, mr father would not give me the property that was originally entrusted to my eldest brother. If it was done by me, I might be dead now… …Even if I don’t die, I’ll definitely crippled.”
Avery: “…”
