Avery involuntarily took two steps backward.
Her eyes were instantly in a daze. She could not believe that such a thing could happen! She, even more, could not believe that this could be blamed on her! Just because she had a conflict with Zoe the day before, so she was the one that did it? How absurd!
“Avery!” Elliot looked at her retreating. His heart constricted tightly. “Answer my question!”
“Elliot, I hate you! I hate you again!” Avery yelled out louder than him, “Every time when I start feeling better about you, you will show me how despicable you are!”
Elliot looked at Avery flaring up. He stood in the same spot, dazed.
The raindrops kept hitting on his back. The coldness pierced into him.
However, his gaze at her was hot and burning. The mixture of ice and fire caused him to lose it. He strode toward her.
“You didn’t do it, right?” Elliot walked toward her and grabbed her thin shoulders tightly. Her voice was hoarse, “You are not this type of person. Avery, I know that you’re not this type of person! I’m asking you because I want to hear from you that it wasn’t you who dided it!”
“I didn’t do it!” Avery’s eyes were reddened. She said aggrievedly, “You shouldn’t have asked me this type of question!”
Things like gouging other people’s eyes, even just by saying it gives her the chills! She would never do such age thing!
“But she said that she heard your voice,” Elliot tried to explain, “She said that when they were gouging her eyes out, you were talking to her by the side.”
Avery sneered in her heart at such absurd lies, yet she heard his suspicion toward her in his tone.
Avery pushed his hands away. “Just because she is the victim, so you’ll believe whatever she says! I have never done such things! Even if she said I did, I didn’t do it!”
“Avery, I didn’t say that you did it…” Elliot swallowed his saliva. He tried to calm her down.
