She took out her phone and saw a number from Bridgedale, so she immediately exited the room to answer the call.
"Am I speaking to Miss Avery Tate?"
"Yes. Who is this?"
"I am Mrs. Wanda Tate's lawyer. May I know where you are at the moment? Have you heard the news of Mrs. Tate's death?"
"I did. What about it?"
"She mentioned before her death that if she dies, it had to be you pulling the strings. I wonder if you have something to say for yourself?"
"How ridiculous. I don't have to be a lawyer to know that an accusation requires proof. She wanted to accuse me of murdering her, but does she have proof? Besides, she is in Bridgedale, and I'm in Aryadelle, how exactly am I supposed to kill her?"
"Even if you are physically in Aryadelle, you can hire someone to kill her."
"If you can't provide proof that I have hired someone to kill her, then I can sue you for defamation. You have one week. If you can't provide any supporting evidence, you will be hearing from my lawyer."
"Miss Tate, I wouldn't call you and say what I have said if I don't have evidence... If I'm not mistaken, your kid is studying in Bridgedale, so you might want to come over as soon as possible, or this lawsuit could very well affect your children."
Tammy stepped outside and saw the dark expression on Avery's face. She immediately asked, "Who was it, Avery? Did Wanda come back to life or something?
Avery shook her head. "What's dead stays dead. People coming back to life is something that would only appear on television shows.”
"Good!" Tammy sighed a breath of relief. " Who called you, then?"
"Crap! That old hag! Avery, why don't you just stay here in Aryadelle instead of traveling there? There's no extradition treaty in place between Aryadelle and Bridgedale and that's why W:g+?VLP
