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 accuseof 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 cover 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 cback 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?" "Wanda's lawyer," Avery said as she anchored her emotions. "Wanda told her lawyer that if she ever were to die, then would be the person behind it. Her lawyer is going to sueon her behalf. I need to travel to Bridgedale to settle this." "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 "Tammy, I have not committed any crimes so I do not need to run. Wanda can hire a lawyer to sue me, and I can hire one to defend myself." Avery had decided to travel to Bridgedale right away to resolve the matter, and she would also meet Sebastian while she was at it. "Her lawyer said that they have proof that I did it, but they are just bluffing. I didn't participate in this at all." "You didn't, but that doesn't mean that Hayden and the others didn't. If they find out that Hayden was behind it... wouldn't that affect them?" Tammy was terrified that the situation would get out of hand.
She would not worry about them if Elliot was still here, but without him, she could not help but feel as though they lacked support. "If that's the case, that's all the more reason forto travel to Bridgedale," Avery said. "Don't worry, Tammy. Wanda has long lost her influence and power, and we are no longer the people we used to be either." "Alright, alright! I know you are going no matter what I say. Just go. We will watch over Layla and Robert. Don't worry about them." Avery stepped out of Wesley's house and went back to Elliot's mansion to pack, before heading to the airport.
According to what Wanda's lawyer said, they intended to cause a scene if she failed to settle this as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not mention that it would affect her children.
In the evening, the bodyguard picked Layla up from school and told her that Avery had gone to Bridgedale.
"Why is Mommy going to Bridgedale all of a sudden?" Layla scowled.
"Wanda Tate is dead." "Huh?! Really? That old witch is dead?!"
