Chapter 997

This was the first time she had laughed so happily in the past few days. At ten o‘clock in the morning, Kiki‘s funeral

was held at the funeral parlor.

After the wake, Kiki was sent for cremation.

Elliot held Layla in one hand and gave her a tissue with the other so that she could wipe her tears.

“Let‘s go home!” Avery said. “Okay.” After coming out of the funeral parlor, they were ready to head to the parking

lot. At this moment, a shadowy figure emerged and grabbed the microphone. “Mr. Foster, the annihilation of the

Tierney family. That‘s your doing, isn‘t it?”

The bodyguard was quick to block off the reporter.

Elliot saw that his daughter was frightened and had planned to take her to the car.

However, Avery’s feet were firmly planted in place.

Elliot Foster might not have cared what the outside world thinks of him, but she cared!

“Do you know how the girl who you had the memorial for died?” Avery took the reporter’s microphone and said

loudly, “The girl‘s name was Kiki. She was only six and a half years old this year. Not even seven. She was my

daughter‘s classmate. She was poisoned by Chelsea Tierney. Do you have children? Would you really want

reporters to ask you questions at the memorial service of your dead child?“.

The reporter was ashamed. “Miss Tate, I have no intentions of asking you questions in an effort to clear up the

Tierney name. I was only watching Mrs. Tierney‘s interview—”

“If you aren‘t clearing up the Tierney name, then how dare you ask if Elliot is the one who destroyed the Tierney

family? Do you have any proof?” Avery‘s questions were fast and to the point. “I didn‘t watch Mrs. Tierney‘s

interview, but since Mrs. Tierney is still alive, why are you saying that the Tierney family has been annihilated? Is

Mrs. Tierney not a human being?”

The reporter had no answers to her questions.

“Instead of coming here and asking questions, you might as well spend your time investigating all the illegal and

malicious activities that the Tierneys have racked up over the years!” After making her point, she returned the

microphone to the reporter. Avery‘s cheeks were slightly red when she got into the car, but she was still extremely

agitated.

Elliot uncapped a bottle of water GTI&P[kK handed it to her. “Thank you for defending me just

now.”

“I wasn‘t defending you. I was only telling him the truth.” Avery took a sip, “I know you won‘t bother with these

reporters, but this is a funeral. How dare these people come here and

make a scene?”

“They wanted a headline,” said Elliot.

“No matter what, their headlines have to be rooted in facts.”

“Don‘t be mad. Let‘s get home.”

“Alright.”

After returning home and having lunch, Elliot led Avery back to her room. “Why are you pulling me into the room?

We just got back!” said Avery as her heart thundered in her chest. She saw him shutting the door behind them.

“What was in the parcel?” Elliot wanted to help her solve her problems. She stared at him blankly. She could not

figure out his motivation for asking her this question. “Didn‘t I tell you this morning?”

“Layla said that you were unhappy after going through the documents inside.” Elliot said frankly, “She was very

worried about you, so she told me.”

Avery was moved by her daughter, but Layla‘s inability to keep a secret troubled her slightly.

Avery took a deep breath and sat down on the bed. “I did a DNA test for a patient of mine. The results show that his

genes are rather unusual. He has a strand of DNA that matches that of an extinct species of gorilla...”

Avery‘s discovery fascinated Elliot.

“Are you now going to accept that you are not who you think you are?” Avery could tell that he was shocked by her

discovery. “For example, you are not actually the master of the Foster family,”

“Are you trying to tell me that you think I‘m an extinct species of gorilla?” he asked rhetorically “I didn’t say you

were a gorilla, I meant–” “I know what you mean. Humans actually have a common ancestor. This is a fact that

scientists have long discovered,” he said. Her temples throbbed. “Of course, I‘m not going to blindly accept that I‘m

not who I think I am,” he said. He paused for a moment, “I‘m also not going to accept that I‘m a gorilla.”
