Chapter 171

I grinned as I threw my blanket off of me and jumped out of bed. I loved how my best friend and I always seemed to be on the same wavelength.

I ushered her inside, poured a cup of coffee for my friend, and offered her a chocolate chip muffin I had picked up from the store the other day.

As she took a sip of her coffee, she gave me a questioning look. “Why aren’t you having any coffee?”

I rubbed my still sensitive stomach. “I’m a little queasy,” I admitted. “But that’s not what’s important. Have you learned anything else?”

Ava’s eyes flashed with excitement, and she put her coffee mug down and leaned toward me. “Last night, Amelia managed to get Chloe drunk and seemed to learn a lot of information from her.”

My hands gripped my water bottle. “Woah! That was smart.”

Ava nodded in agreement and pulled up the voice recording on her phone. As I waited for it to play, anticipation coursed through me. Would this finally be the evidence we needed to put Chloe behind bars? Also, I was impressed that Amelia hadn’t used her money or resources to find out more about Russell’s murder. She had been cunning, and for that, I had to respect her.
