He smelled his clothes, muttering, "I don't smell anything!"
"Did you tell Chad last night that | was poor? Elliot senta message last night and wanted to payalimony!" Avery exhaled.

Mike was speechless.

that Tate Industries was going to be independent.”
"Independent?" Mike jumped. "How?"

"Oh, last night Chad listened to a recording from Elliot. It was the one of you calling Elliot when you were blind. Elliot said he didn't

and walked to the bathroom door, "I've listened to the recording. The first half is normal, but your voice fades in the second half."
Avery stopped squeezing her toothpaste.
"Did Elliot give him the recording?"
"Yes! He wanted to prove that he was innocent... Chad askedto bring the recording to you to check if the recording was real "
