Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 417
Advertisement
Avery has opened the door to rush out, and she almost forgot that Evan was behind her.
Of course, Evan also knew that something had happened. He frowned and looked at the expression of the woman in front of him. There was a trace of displeasure in his heart. Only Andrew came with her, and it should be him who could make her so disorderly now.
The more Evan thought about it, the more irritating he was. He grabbed Avery's hand and pulled her in the opposite direction, which let Avery scream, "Let me go!"
"I'll have Robert take you back."
Avery stared at him with displeasure, "Andrew is in there. I'm going to save him."
Evan pressed his tone, "When are you so nice to him? There's something wrong with him now, and it's no use going there."
Avery twisted her wrist open and said, "He brought me in. Did you let me run away and leave him alone?"
She couldn't do it anyway.
Moreover, they had planned to take Jessica away, and they were not willing to leave without saying anything to her.
Avery has gone to the place where a large number of people gathered together.
Through the gap in the crowd, Avery saw Andrew covered in blood.
Andrew was wearing a light blue suit, but at this moment, his suit was almost dyed red. Blood was gushing from a shot in his left shoulder.
There was also a shot in his right thigh so that he couldn't stand steady and half knelt on the ground.
A man in a silver fox mask opposite him holding a gun and pointed it at his head. "You see him? If you want to die, go ahead!" Though Evan said so, he still clenched Avery's arm, and he would never let her risk it.

He knew the brave and stubborn woman so well. If he hadn't held her, she might have rushed over.
Evan was hoping to carry her out of the mess when he thought that she should take risks for another man.
Unfortunately, Avery's usual temperament was that no one has ever been able to stop her.
Avery did not immediately rush over but pulled the crowd and walked closer. She had to use her mobile phone to contact Jamie, who should still be in the presidential palace door to wait for them and didn't know what happened inside.
She bowed her head and typed a few words, and suddenly a voice mixed with fear and pleading came, "No!"
Avery looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a mask, but she still recognized that it's Jessica, who was kneeling humbly in front of the man with the silver fox mask, blocking the muzzle with her body.
"Please don't kill him!"
Jessica was pleading for Andrew, and the mask blocked her expression, but Avery could still hear her fear from the trembling voice.
"Don't kill him? Those who dare to take my person away from the presidential palace should all be dead."
The people around them laughed in a flattering way.
Avery knew that the person the man said Andrew was going to take away was Jessica. She stared at the man's thin lips, which were thinner than Evan, and wondered how this man could get Andrew shot twice in such a short period.
He was a cruel man.
Without pity, the man kicked open Jessica and went to Andrew, "Who knows if he wants to take people away, or he wants to take away the secrets of the presidential palace?"
As the man spoke, he threw Andrew's mask into the air. When the mask fell, it made a slight sound.

When Andrew's face was revealed, the crowd uttered a low voice.
Rebecca came out of the crowd, looked at Andrew, and quickly went to the man to instigate him, "My brother, now that father is visiting neighboring countries in private, and many people are not only eyeing the presidential palace but also trying to steal secrets. We have to punish him as a warning to others."
Avery listened to Rebecca's words in that kind of calm tone, which let Avery do not know whether she heard her wrong.
Soon, Rebecca's next sentence let her know that she had heard it right.
Rebecca said leisurely, "In this case, we should frisk him, or let him tell his accomplice."
Avery raised her mouth corner and thought that the accomplice Rebecca said might be her.
She looked up at Rebecca with ironies in her eyes. Rebecca had pretended to be gentle and melting, but she turned to be the real her this time. In order to get close to Evan and her, she had done some embarrassing things.
Now, was it time to show her nature?
The man in the silver fox mask chuckled twice, "Accomplice? That's a good idea."
The muzzle poked hard on Andrew's forehead. Even if Andrew was hurt, he still bit his teeth and kept his waist straight.
"I'll give you two choices. Bullet through your head, or hand over your accomplice."
Andrew laughed brazenly, and his eyes stared at the man in a silver fox mask without fear, "Don't talk so much nonsense. Just kill me."
"No! You can't kill him! I beg you!" Jessica lay on the ground struggling to get up. The mask fell to the ground when she struggled, and her hair was disheveled. Tears fell down her face, which made her very embarrassed.
Jessica knew that James hated the Clifford family to the core, and she didn't know where the Clifford family offended him. Now that her brother fell into his hands, it would only be bad.
Jessica, who used to be a graceful lady, crept on the ground and was humble as a servant.
Avery clenched her skirt and wondered if Rebecca instigated Andrew to hand over his accomplice because she recognized her. In any case, she has obviously been successfully pushed to the top of the risk by Rebecca.
At the same time, she also knew that Andrew would not betray her.
"Say your accomplice, and I can spare you not to die!" As the voice sounded again, no one would doubt the weight of this sentence.
Avery took a deep breath and was about to take a step. At the same time, a shadow rushed to the front before her, "His accomplice is me!"
