Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 

Along with Mike‘s name, he crossed Hayden‘s name off as well.

Hayden had been to his house twice, but he had remained in the living room during both visits.

Layla, on the other hand, did go upstairs, where she had later been discovered by the others. However, the girl did not seem all that bright, or she would not have broken down crying at the time.

He did not cross Layla’s name off the list, but he turned his attention to Zoe.

Could it be Zoe?

There were people around every time Zoe visited, and she would not have had the opportunity to take something from the study. 

Left with no other options, all he could do was wait for the surveillance footage. 

Elliot had spent the entire night in the surveillance room, combing through the footage. He did not rest for a moment.

The day he had taken Avery home, the surveillance cameras had been hacked, and there was a three–hour gap. At that time, he had only needed to know if the cameras were still working, but now, he needed to know what had gone wrong. 

He returned to his bedroom and try as he might, but he could not fall asleep. When he had discovered that the box was gone, he felt as though his heart had been crushed and ripped apart. If only he could face his dark past, he would have never had to divorce Avery.

At noon, the bodyguards had finally finished watching all the footage from the previous 

month.

“Mr. Foster, we checked the surveillance outside your study, but no one has been inside apart from you and Mrs. Cooper,” the bodyguard reported. “Every time Mrs. Cooper came out, all she had were her cleaning tools and nothing else.” 

Elliot shut his eyes in despair. He had never suspected Mrs. Cooper to begin with. After all, she had served him for many years and had always remained dutiful and loyal. If Mrs. Cooper wished to betray him, she could have done so long ago. 

“The surveillance cameras stopped working the day Miss Tate brought her two children over. Could it be possible that someone went into the study room during that time?” suggested the bodyguard.

Elliot’s eyes darkened. Once the bodyguard excused himself, he picked up the phone and called Avery.
