Elliot did not say anything. He just quietly held Avery in his arms. Her broken heart immediately found comfort.She was filled with energy and began to believe that a miracle could happen.
Once her emotions were stable, Elliot handed the pastries he brought to her.
Avery took the pastries and began to eat.
“The results of the investigation are out,” Elliot said in a deep voice after she had eaten two pieces of pastries.
“Wanda Tate was the one who sent someone to order the headstone.” Avery closed the pastry box, then took a deep breath.
Elliot held her hand and said, “Wait here at the hospital. I‘ll go find her.”
After he said that, he immediately got up and left.
Avery consoled herself as she watched his muscular back. This time, he definitely would not be soft hearted! He might have shown mercy to Chelsea because of their past, but he had no such past with Wanda.
Over at Wonder Technologies, Wanda‘s face had turned pale as her hand trembled around her phone.
The subordinate she sent to order the headstone was caught. She used her connections in the police force to get more intel, but she found nothing. She was filled with uneasiness. She had thought that nothing could go wrong if the headstone was ordered out in the middle of nowhere with no surveillance cameras in sight. She was careless!
This case struck Elliot right where it hurt the most, so he would see this matter to the end no matter what he had to pay.
Now that her subordinate was in his hands, it was only a matter of time before they find out she was behind this.
Wanda let out a heavy sigh, then pulled out her phone to book flight tickets so she could flee the country.
When the landline on her desk rang, she trembled with fear as she answered the call.
