Chapter 897
Shea usually stayed out and would only return home on certain occasions.
Elliot was happy to see his sister that day, but his father seemed to be in a bad mood.
After having a few glasses to drink, his father suddenly started beating Shea.
All the joy and fantasies were shattered at that very moment. The servants in the house ran off and Shea was wailing from being beaten; his mother was pulling his father back in an attempt to stop him, but his father shoved her aside forcefully.
In the end, his elder brother helped his mother back into her room while his father dragged Shea outside.
The moonlight shone through the night, but all Elliot saw was darkness.He wanted to end the misery and the source of it was his father.
If he killed his father, his family would not suffer any longer.
That night, he put an end to his father’s life with his own hands.
"Avery, it’s not what you think… Shea is my closest family, how could I…" Elliot tried to explain.
Just then, the door to Avery’s bedroom was pushed open.
Layla held a form in her hand and ran towards Avery "Mom! Who are you talking to?"
Layla stared at Avery’s phone curiously and said, "Our teachers gave us a form and we are to have our parents fill it out before bringing it back to school tomorrow.I almost forgot about it!"
Avery swiftly hung up the phone and took the form from her daughter’s hand.
"I will fill it out right now." Avery set her phone down to look for a pen.
"Mom, what is written on the form?"
Layla followed Avery around.
