NovelOnlineElliot's deep voice instantly calmed Avery down.
"I'm fine... | heard you went to the police station this morning. What happened?” she asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Nathan White said he was the one who killed Eason Foster," he explained. "He cto the station to turn himself in this morning, so | cto take a look." Avery was stunned.
Nathan was the one who killed Eason Foster? How did this happen? "I'll be back soon. [I'l talk to you then," Elliot said, then hung up the phone.
Avery held her phone in her hand and walked out of the room in a faze.
If Nathan really was the one who murdered Eason Foster, then this had nothing to do with Elliot! People would stop chastising Elliot, too.
This was amazing news for Elliot, but why did Nathan willingly turn himself in? Did he suddenly grow a conscience after seeing Elliot suffer? Elliot returned to the villa shortly after.
When Avery saw him, she immediately asked, "What's going on? Why would Nathan willingly surrender like that? Who made him turn himself in? What conditions did you give him?" Elliot lowered his eyes and gazed at her anxious face, then said, "He was worried that my career would take a hit because of this. If my career was affected, he won't be able to benefit much from me." "So it was all for money! How much did he ask from you?!" "He madeguarantee that his children will live comfortably for the rest of their lives." Elliot's Adam's apple bobbed in throat, then he continued, "He's a sc*mbag, but he would go the distance for his children.” "But when it comes to you, he only wants to benefit from you." Avery was upset.

Elliot unfastened the top button of his shirt, then said mockingly," He said that | was the pride of the White family, so he can't watch as others picked on me. He truly believed that this matter would bringdown, so he decided to sacrifice himself to protect the pride of the family.” "You're saying that he's taking the blfor you? Eason Foster's death actually had nothing to do with him?" "That's not it. He said that he really did kill Eason Foster. He had passed by the old mansion that night. He saw us in a fight. After | seriously injured Eason Foster, Nathan pretended to take him to the hospital, then killed him on the way there even though he was still alive at the time." Avery was immersed in the strange story she was listening to.
"Nathan could have kept this secret forever. That way, he would never have to face any kind of punishment," Elliot said." He askedto change my last nto White, but | refused.” "I suppose you could say that he grew a conscience >d);YLY: didn't want you to carry the blame. You were a minor at the tand you wouldn't have had to bear any criminal responsibility for this, but society’s words would still affect you." "I guess you could say that." "I can't believe that a scoundrel like Nathan White actually grew a conscience," Avery said in bewilderment. "On the other hand, Henry looks like a standup guy but is actually cruel and evil." Elliot took her hand and led her to the couch.
"Humans are complicated beings. Henry would not have been this cruel toif there were no issues with my birth and identity.
He had always known that | killed Eason Foster, but he never said a word to the public. I'm guessing that even his wife didn't know about it." Elliot despised Henry, but he understood why he behaved the way he did. "If | wasn’t Nathan White's son, he would not have turned himself in today. If | wasn't his son, he might not have killed Eason Foster back then either.” Avery nodded her head. "So you accepted Nathan's request and will take care of Peter and Lilith in the future?" "That's right. | get to decide how much money | give them." Elliot had control over the situation now. "Nathan White will get the death sentence. Eason Foster was not an average Joe, after all. Even if | wanted to save Nathan, Henry would not let this slide.
Besides, | don't want to save him either." Avery's mood was complicated after hearing his words.
She was shocked, but she was also relieved.
