Chapter 529 - 529: This Sound

Avery's discharge from the hospital was a big event for the Howel family, but it's nothing when compared with Evan's grandmother's 70th birthday.

Evan's grandmother liked the western style, so her birthday banquet was a buffet.

Avery had deliberately kept bodyguards at the door. Cars were not allowed to come in, so all the guests were only allowed to walk in.

There was a long road paved with oval stones, and high heels would make a crisp sound on it.

Avery's purpose was to let Jamie listen to the sound of footsteps. In the eyes of Evan's grandmother, she thought Avery was trying to make the guests feel embarrassed.

The housekeeper, Maureen was discontent, "Avery was so arrogant and haughty, and she let the guests walk in on purpose."

"She made Leonie so miserable. I'm afraid she will take revenge on you next."

Evan's grandmother sat on the jacquard sofa and heavily placed the teacup on the coffee table, "How dare she!"

When Maureen remembered that Avery had forced her to eat raw beef, she gnashed her teeth in hatred, "If she doesn't dare, she won't let anyone stop the guests at the door. You see, the guests have to complain."

"Send someone to tell Evan that I'm not going to hold the party."

Maureen was so happy that she quickly sent someone to inform Evan.

Soon Evan replied, "As Avery said, in order to show sincerity and respect, all guests must walk in. If they can't even do that, how can they show their respect?"

Evan's grandmother was angry that her grandson had lost his mind.

"What Mr. Howel said made sense. In that case, shall we let Avery show her sincerity later?"

"What do you mean?"

Maureen said a few words in Evan's grandmother's ears, and Evan's grandmother nodded, "This is good. If she can't even do this, how can she show her sincerity?"

Avery had let Jamie stand at the gate. As long as someone came in, he could hear the sound of shoes stepping on the road.

As it was Evan's grandmother's birthday banquet, everyone was required to dress up. Women who were present had to wear high heels without exception.

Different high heels stepping on the road would make a different sound.

People of different personalities might also walk differently, and body size would also affect the sound of walking.

Avery set up this at the gate in view of the fact that people who came in from the gate would take a long walk.

In addition, if there were many people in the house, it would affect the judgment of Jamie.

At this time, people came in one after another. With the flowers on both sides of the road, people were more like walking on the red carpet.

Jamie sometimes followed the footsteps and listened to them.

After that, he shook his head to Avery.

All the famous people in the city were invited today. According to Jamie, the one who let them have a car accident must be here.

"Avery." Gabrielle, who was in a silver dress ran to Avery.

"Why are you here?"

"I sneaked in. I want to see the baby." Gabrielle took Avery's arm.

"I'll let a servant take you in first," Avery called a servant to come.

Gabrielle probably guessed that Avery was busy, hugged her, turned around, and went with the servant.

"Gabrielle is walking too fast."

Avery rolled her eyes, "Are you suspecting my sister?"

Jamie scratched his head with embarrassment and said, "I'm just kidding."

With that, he suddenly pressed his index finger on the lips to make a booing action, "This sound."

Avery looked in that direction.

It's Diana, and her mother, Fiona.

Diana smiled and said hello when she saw Avery while Fiona gave her a ferocious look.

Jamie frowned when he saw them.

His expression was so strange that he seemed to see something wrong.

"Is it Diana?"

Avery thought that Diana would probably be crueler to others because she would cut her arm with a blade in order to keep her awake.

Unexpectedly, Jamie shook his head and whispered, "They are both wearing high heels, and the frequency is the same. Can you let them walk alone?"

Avery reacted quickly and suddenly stopped Diana, "Diana."

Diana looked back and came up to her alone. Fiona walked in alone to greet Evan's grandmother. What Fiona did not know was that Jamie had quietly followed her.

Diana, who was in a crimson dress today, looked thin, probably because she didn't recover well.

"My baby likes the toy you gave to her. She likes the music in it."

Diana was very surprised that Avery said so many words to her and smiled, "Could I go to see the baby at the end of the birthday party?"

"The baby falls asleep early." Avery refused her politely and glanced at Jamie occasionally. When Jamie followed Fiona far away, Avery said, "Evan's grandmother should be waiting for you. I'll let a servant take you in first."

Diana was covered with only one shawl. When the wind blew, Avery vaguely saw a band-aid on her arm.

For such a long time, it was impossible that the cut had not healed yet. However, Diana had a band-aid now, which showed that she had cut herself again.

Did this woman like to abuse herself?

Diana did not want to continue to say anything. After saying goodbye to Avery, she walked to the mansion wearing her high heels.

At this time, Jamie happened to come out, deliberately stopped to listen to Diana's footsteps for a while when he saw Diana and came to Avery.

It's hard to tell his expression. As he walked, he recalled the footsteps on that day.

"Who is it?" Avery couldn't wait to ask him. The clue was too critical to them, and Jamie was the victim. Andrew died because of the car accident, and Jamie wanted to find the murderer eagerly.

When Jamie raised his face, he still kept a solemn and rigorous expression and said something to Avery.
