Chapter 272: One of Her Tormentor

Avery takes advantage of the servants' distraction to grab a cellphone. She punches Evan's number into the screen and hits the dial. The brunette servant rushes over and tries to grab the phone from Avery. She fumbles with it and tries to hang up, but her fingers are thick, and she accidentally puts it on speaker mode.

"Hello, is that you, Avery?" Leonie's voice asks. "Evan is in the shower right now. Shall I fetch him for you?"

Avery checks the number on the screen, wondering if she accidentally misdialed, but it's the right number. Why is Leonie answering Evan's phone? She wonders. And why is Evan in the shower—have they been making love? The very thought makes her feel sick to her stomach.

"Avery, are you still there?" Leonie asks. "Do you want to talk to Evan? Maybe I can send a message to you."

"Why do you have a phone?" Avery asks.
