Chapter 37
Unfortunately, Avery had to use Cole as a scapegoat this time.
Since Shaun had found out about the missing contents, she had to divert his attention elsewhere before things got more difficult for her.
Suddenly, Avery’s phone rang.
The man opened her bag and pulled out her phone.
The words “Foster Mansion” flashed on the phone screen.
“You weren’t kidding! Since you’re close to the Fosters, I won’t keep you any longer. Go on!”
The man did not want to get in trouble with the Foster family. Besides, he already did what he was paid to do.
Once Avery was free, she immediately called Mrs. Cooper back.
“Why did you hang up just now, Madam? It’s late and you’re not home yet. Did something happen?” Mrs. Cooper asked.
Avery glanced around her surroundings.
She was in the middle of nowhere. The road was dim, and it ran through a forest. At a glance, it looked like the bloody jaws of a wild beast that were ready to gobble her up. It was terrifying.
“Is the driver still on the clock, Mrs. Cooper?” Avery asked. “I can’t get a cab where I am now.”
She was dressed in nothing but her gown from earlier, and she was trembling in the cold, fall air.
“He just arrived with Master Elliot. I’ll ask him to go get you. Send me your location.”
“Alright,” Avery responded, then sent her location to Mrs. Cooper’s phone, who then sent it to the driver.
It was a remote area that people seldom visited during the day, let alone in the dark of the night.
“Send some people there right now and find out what happened,” Elliot ordered his bodyguard.
Avery returned home about three hours later.
The driver stopped the car in the courtyard and got out,
Mrs. Cooper was confused, so she walked over to the car to check things out.
