When His Eyes Opened (Avery and Elliott)

Chapter 272

Chapter 272 She sat on the bed with unconcealable joy on her face.

Five years ago, her stepmother and Wanda’s younger brother, James, stole three hundred million from Tate Industries. After spending most of that fortune, greed had taken over him, and he had planned on making another fortune from Tate Industries. Only this time, he would not be met with three hundred million dollars, just the cold hard hand of the law.

A moment ago, officer Boyd, the police officer who was responsible for the case, had contacted Avery and informed her that James had already boarded the flight back to the country

There was a team of officers at the airport, ready to ambush him. As soon as James landed, he would be arrested.
