Chapter 386 Avery did not feel anything when she heard Zoe’s revelation. She was Elliot’s enemy. She had never held out a candle that Elliot might believe her.
“Miss Sanford. Your breath stinks. Has no one ever told you that?” Avery raised her hand and covered her nose.
Zoe’s expression turned sinister. She wanted to yell at Avery, but she did not dare open her mouth!
with a ding, the elevator stopped. Its doors slowly slid open.
Avery was the first to come out of the elevator. Elliot was standing nearby, and his eyes lit up when he saw her.
He strode over to her. He walked over and grabbed Avery by the arm and dragged her around the corner.
Zoe saw the two of them pass her by. She remained in the same spot, looking at Avery.
She saw Avery shrugging Elliot’s arm off. Then, she heard Avery speak, “Your mother was the one who called me. What we talked about had nothing to do with you! Why don’t you investigate your mom’s death? Do you have no other solutions than trying to find fault with me?”
How fierce! Zoe never thought that Avery would dare to be so fierce when faced with Elliot! Their exchange in the elevator seemed polite by comparison!
Elliot’s back was facing Zoe, but Zoe could see him stiffen.
“I’m not asking you how my mom died! I only want to know what my mother told you! In those five minutes, what did the two of you talk about! Avery, you clearly understand what I’m trying to say, why are you pretending otherwise!”
Avery sneered. “Your mom is dead, yet you aren’t concerned about how she died? If you were my son, I would be thoroughly disappointed!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Elliot was provoked.
“I’m talking nonsense? Do you think you’re being logical?” Avery’s eyes reddened. She came clean. “Your mom did not fall down the stairs! She was pushed!”
