When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 

The news of Cassandra’s death came out around 7 a.m. the next morning.

She had jumped out of the window of the hotel room she was staying in and had died upon impact.

The police retrieved Avery’s contact information from identification that Cassandra had left in her hotel room.

Jack was dead and Wanda was abroad.

The only person who could identify Cassandra’s body was Avery.

Avery was still half asleep when she answered the call.

Even after she had hung up, she thought she was dreaming.

It was not until she snapped out of her trance and checked her phone’s call history that she realized she was not in a dream.

She leaped out of bed, skipped breakfast, and rushed to the hotel where the incident had taken place.

“She had jumped, Sir. When we opened the door, she ran to the window and jumped before we could do anything. It was obvious that she was ridden with guilt.”

Elliot’s subordinate reported the events surrounding Cassandra’s death to him.” Elliot took a sip of coffee, then ordered coldly, “Keep an eye on Cole Foster.”

Cassandra and Cole were close.

Cassandra wanting Elliot dead meant that Cole had the same idea in his head.

It was yet to be determined if Cassandra was the mastermind behind the assassination attempt, after all.

She could be nothing but a scapegoat, but she still deserved to die.

The police had closed off the hotel when Avery arrived.

She followed a police officer to the crime scene.

“Miss Tate, our initial investigation identified the victim as your sister, Cassandra Tate. However, we will still need a positive identification from you,” said the officer. “She died upon impact after the fall around five in the morning.”

Avery’s heart raced frantically in her chest as she felt like an invisible force was strangling her.

It was not long until they arrived where Cassandra’s body was.
