Chapter 23 Stab Into Avery’s Heart

Avery did not expect Gustave to actually stop him.

In Baltimore, Gustave was famous for his indifference. Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Darlene’s matter was related to Gustave’s uncle, Douglas, so he would not interfere.

Douglas had done many illegal things, and Gustave would turn a blind eye to

Avery grabbed Darlene’s wrist and walked out without any explanation.

Because when she escaped from the private room, her body was covered in blood, and she had lost one of her high heels in a hurry.

Right now, she only had a man’s shirt that reached her thighs. When she had just been at the Walpole’s manor, Arthur had felt sorry for her and asked the maid to get her a new shirt.

She was wearing the slippers that the maid had given her.
