When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

Chapter 386

Chapter 386 Avery did not feel anything when she heard Zoe’s revelation. She was Elliot’s enemy. She had never

held out a candle that Elliot might believe her.

“Miss Sanford. Your breath stinks. Has no one ever told you that?” Avery raised her hand and covered her nose.

Zoe’s expression turned sinister. She wanted to yell at Avery, but she did not dare open her mouth!

with a ding, the elevator stopped. Its doors slowly slid open.

Avery was the first to come out of the elevator. Elliot was standing nearby, and his eyes lit up when he saw her.

He strode over to her. He walked over and grabbed Avery by the arm and dragged her around the corner.

Zoe saw the two of them pass her by. She remained in the same spot, looking at Avery.

She saw Avery shrugging Elliot’s arm off. Then, she heard Avery speak, “Your mother was the one who called me.

What we talked about had nothing to do with you! Why don’t you investigate your mom’s death? Do you have no

other solutions than trying to find fault with me?”

How fierce! Zoe never thought that Avery would dare to be so fierce when faced with Elliot! Their exchange in the

elevator seemed polite by comparison!

Elliot’s back was facing Zoe, but Zoe could see him stiffen.

“I’m not asking you how my mom died! I only want to know what my mother told you! In those five minutes, what

did the two of you talk about! Avery, you clearly understand what I’m trying to say, why are you pretending

otherwise!”

Avery sneered. “Your mom is dead, yet you aren’t concerned about how she died? If you were my son, I would be

thoroughly disappointed!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Elliot was provoked.

“I’m talking nonsense? Do you think you’re being logical?” Avery’s eyes reddened. She came clean. “Your mom did

not fall down the stairs! She was pushed!”

Her words made Elliot’s eyes redden with hatred.

“Who?” He spoke with force.

“Zoe!” Avery had hesitated before she named the perpetrator. If she did not tell Elliot what she knew, she would not

be able to keep a clear conscience. “She told me herself, in the elevator.”

Zoe heard their conversation clearly.

She never expected Avery to fall into her trap this easily. She had thought that Avery would be smarter.

Zoe took a deep breath and forced tears out of the corner of her eyes. She strode over to them.

“Avery! Why are you trying to blame me?” Zoe whimpered, looking pitiful. “I moved out of the old Foster mansion

yesterday. How could I have pushed Aunt Rosalie down the stairs? Before pinning it on me, can you get your facts

right!”

Avery was stunned by what Zoe had said. Those words that Zoe had told her in the elevator were just a lie?

Normally, it would be easy to tell if someone was lying or not, however, that was not the case with Zoe. Despite not

being a professional actor, she had good acting skills.

Elliot’s gaze shifted from Zoe to Avery.

“Avery, what else do you have to say?” he said in a low voice. His eyes were filled with disappointment.

“Nothing.” Avery was calm.

“Apologize to her!” Each word came out slow and even. “Apologize to Zoe!”

Avery had a look of disbelief. “Even if I have defamed her, I will not apologize to her! Because what I said was what

she said to me. If this is considered defamation, she did it to herself!”
