Avery's grip on her coffee cup tighter.
She was not interested in Wanda talking about Elliot.
"Your brother is in prison. How could he have hired a killer?" She looked at Wanda and said, "You did it, right?"?
Wanda maintained her smile. "Avery, you should not resort to slander! In Aryadelle, murder is a crime punishable by death! Even hiring a killer is too! This was what you told me previously. How could I have done such a thing?"
It was as if she was saying, "I'm not an idiot! Even if I did it, I will never admit it."
The coffee sloshed inside the cup as Avery tightened her grip around the cup.
"Do you know why I asked to meet you?" Avery released the coffee cup.
Wanda glanced at Avery coldly. "Avery, your mother is dead. It's useless to pester me about it. I said I didn't do it, which means I didn't do it. Even if you kill me, I didn't-"
Avery got up from the chair. She swallowed her bitterness. "Of course, as long as you won't admit it, it wasn't you who did it."
Then, Avery quickly walked over to Wanda. When
Wanda realized what she was about to do, she quickly exclaimed, "Help!"
When Mike reached the cafe, he saw Avery grabbing Wanda by her hair and smashing her head against the wall.
There was fresh red blood on the wall!
Blood flowed from Wanda's pretty face!
"Shit!" Mike swore and quickly ran over. "Avery! Let go! You're going to kill her!" 1
Mike tried to stop the fight. He pushed the staff who were trying to stop the fight away. Their efforts had been in vain anyway.
He hugged Avery, trying to pull her away, yet she kept holding onto Wanda's hair, not letting her go!
