Chapter 910

Evadne Ashbourne avoided Aviana Ashbourne and Lionel Griffith, finding a secluded spot under an oak tree to continue her conversation with Thaddeus Abernathy:

"Every crime leaves a trace. Aaron is a master at solving cases. Given time, if he establishes a task force to investigate Wayne Jones, he will definitely find something linking him to Avery Chambers."

"It won't be that simple, Evadne."

Thaddeus's voice was heavy with concern. "Aaron told me he's checked Wayne's bank accounts and call logs. There's been no unusual activity in the past few years, no foreign transactions either. His call history does have a few suspicious numbers, but they were all from burner phones, unregistered, making it impossible to trace the callers. Wayne's a former cop; if he's involved in any wrongdoing, he'd know how to cover his tracks better than most criminals."

"No financial trails do make it harder."

Evadne paced back and forth, one hand on her hip. "This means Avery wasn't in it for the money with him. Everything he did was to ensure the success of a new drug trial, all to save his wife. That's why he's been working tirelessly for Avery, driven by a belief that's too strong."

Thaddeus clenched his teeth. "So, getting him to turn on Avery is going to be as tough as climbing Everest."

Evadne's eyes narrowed. "Maybe not."

"Evadne, do you have a plan?"

"I don't have a plan; I'm just willing to gamble one more time."

"On what?"

Her gaze sharp as a dagger: "Human nature."

Silence fell between them.
