The sound of gunshots mingled with the shrill screams.
To protect Avery, Evan asked Robert to walk out of the room to see around at first.
Following the sound, most rich women didn't dare to move. They got down and put their hands on their heads.
The bodyguards were still standing there, holding the women. When Robert came, one of the bodyguards raised his hand and said, "Sir, this woman happened to touch my gun and went off the fire."
Avery followed by Robert. Evan also followed because of Avery.
She quickly glanced over the room. Fortunately, everyone was ok. Avery tried to find Jamie and Fiona, but she failed, so she asked, "Anyone sees Jamie?"
The bodyguards looked at each other and shook their heads, showing they didn't see Jamie.
"Why does Jamie miss all of a sudden?" Avery asked herself.
"Evan, my mother is gone too," Diana said. She looked calm and still stood up. Probably, she was so anxious to find Fiona that she didn't pay much attention to the gunshots.
Diana looked around again, but she couldn't still find her mother.
At that time, a woman said gently, "Sister Diana, I'm sorry to come here later. I just saw that the oldest aunt was taken away. This way."
Telling from the place that the woman pointed out, Evan knew it was the garden.
The woman's thin arm attracted Avery. She can't help but glance at the woman. Avery met the woman once upon a time. She was Holly Gibson, the daughter of Mr. Gibson, who was the third powerful man in the City, except The Howels and The Olivers. Holly was beautiful but a plastic face. She was famous in entertainment for showing off her wealth.
Hearing the faint sound from the garden, Avery frowned slightly. She walked to the garden seeing a fountain in the middle of the garden. Soon, she found Jamie was there.
"Jamie?" Avery stopped and shouted.
Fiona was kneeling in front of Jamie, who was pointing to her with a gun.
Fiona kept saying, "No… No…"
"This son of a bitch. We had suffered a lot because of her. She deserves this."
Fiona had experienced many dangerous things, so she looked almost peaceful, though being forced to kneel. With clean short hair, she seemed pretty smart.
Fiona then said with an evil expression, "I don't know what you are talking about. I had never hurt you."
Gradually, more and more people came into the garden. When people see Jamie pointed to Fiona with a gun, they become more shocked and can't help but scream.
Avery still stood in the first row, being close to Jamie.
For one part, Avery had guessed that Fiona wouldn't admit her mistakes. For another part, Jamie thought it was Fiona who set a trap for Andrew and Avery according to the sound of footsteps, but he hadn't enough evidence to prove it.
"Jamie, calm down. Please let her go first, ok?" Avery still stood there without moving because she was afraid that others would influence Jamie's behavior.
Avery knew Jamie. Jamie had no patience. Probably, he had decided to kill himself when he killed Fiona, so he made full preparation to kill her.
He pushed Fiona to kneel and pointed to her with a gun.
"I can't keep calm. I had a dream about Mr. Clifford. He told me he felt lonely. How poor he is! But this woman. She lives such a good life, why?" Jamie became excited. He pointed to Fiona's temple hard.
"You claim that I killed Mr. Clifford. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have it, you frame me," Although Jamie pointed to her head so hard that her head got hurt, she never bowed her head.
"Mum…" Diana was so worried as if her heart would jump out. She covered her mouth with her one hand walking to Evan, "Evan, although my mother said something bitter, she is a kind man. I believe she had never killed anyone. Evan, please help her."
Evan was silent. Everyone turned to look at him and waited for his answer. All of a sudden, everyone became more anxious.
At this time, unlike others, Holly was not nervous. Instead, she opened live broadcast software.
She whispered to her fans on that platform, "I would like to show you a scene. It is a hostage. Be a good man, don't make noise, and call the police."
However, the police came after a while.
The police held the gun and surrounded the scene. One of the policemen walked to Evan, saying, "Mr. Howel, I just got the news, so I came here. Please cooperate with us."
Evan didn't care about what they said. He just said coldly, "Have you finished? If you want to kill her, kill her. Be quick. Mr. Clifford is waiting for her."
Hearing the words, Diana was shocked. She had never expected that Evan would suggest Jamie kill her mother quickly. She couldn't understand.
Diana grabbed Evan's arms, "Evan—"
Bang—
Jamie shot.
At the same time, everyone screamed.
To everyone's surprise, there was no bullet coming out from the gun because for the bodyguards in the Howels' castle, and their guns could be loaded the only one bullet.
So, Evan knew Jamie wouldn't be afraid to shoot. Looking at Fiona, she was so shocked that her face turned pale, and his lips began to tremble.
Avery made a fist and said to Jamie hurriedly, "Jamie, if you don't let her go, I won't pay a visit to Andrew. I think he must be sad if I do it."
Avery knew Jamie was Andrew's close bodyguard. All he wanted was to make Andrew happy.
"Miss. Peters…" Jamie said. His eyes were full of blood. He was not only regretful but also furious.
"Andrew wishes you to fulfill your tasks. You should protect Jessica and me. Why don't you follow his order? Do you think he will be happy when he knows you won't fulfill your tasks?"
Hearing these words, Jamie can't help but cry.
"Put the gun down. I promise you that I will visit Andrew with you," Avery said to Jamie. Then she turned to Fiona, "I won't let the murder be free."
Hearing the words, Fiona trembled all of a sudden.
As soon as Jamie put the gun down, Fiona immediately ran over the police, "Sir, he frames me and tries to kill me. I hope you will bring justice to me."
"Mr. Howel…Um.." the police turned to Evan.
Evan pushed Diana's hands away and turned to Avery, saying earnestly, "Depends on my wife."
