Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0242

“That’s not possible. Emma could never do something like this.” Travis defends his sister.

Sure, he was pissed at her, but when it came down to it, she was still his baby sister. He would defend her with everything that he had.

“Son, in my line of work, anything is possible,” Brian says tonelessly.

He then takes out a note book and begins scribbling down something. It’s only for a few minutes before

he looks up at us.

“But seriously, Emma wouldn’t hurt her; sure, she and Ava don’t see eye to eye, but she would never hurt her,” Travis insists, while the rest just stay quiet.

I want to believe that Emma wouldn’t do something like this, but I wasn’t sure any more. The woman who came back months ago isn’t the same woman who left years ago.

She was filled with so much anger and hatred towards Ava. So much so that she would threaten a child and make up F***ing lies just to get Ava in trouble.

“I’m not saying that she did it, all I’m saying is that she’s a suspect,” Brian clarifies. “Hatred and anger are pretty strong motives to have someone killed as some sort of revenge. It’s also not coincidental that Ava’s shooting happened not less than three weeks after she revealed Emma’s big secret. One that she had gone to great lengths to hide.”

Looking at things, everything pointed to Emma. She’s the only one Ava has had a falling out with recently, and given the strenuous relationship, it’s easy to see how Emma could have snapped and hired someone

to kill Ava.

I look at Travis; he looks like he has been struck by lightning. I see it in his eyes. He regrets why he opened his mouth, because he might have just gotten his sister in trouble.

“What about Reaper?” I ask, remembering he had targeted Ava and Emma.
