Everyone was speechless. Just like that, Tiggie had convinced everyone to let him stay. At the old
mansion, Elliot caught a whiff of gasoline when he opened the lock of the courtyard door.
It took less than three minutes from the time he noticed the gasoline smell for a roaring fire to appear in
front of him.
Elliot was stunned when he saw the sudden burst of fire.
The bodyguard rushed over immediately and pulled Elliot out of the yard. “Mr. Foster! Someone set the
place on fire! Please wait outside! I’m going to find the culprit!” Elliot was pushed to the courtyard by the
bodyguard, who then immediately ran in to find the arsonist!
Elliot looked at the raging fire in front of him and immediately took out his cell phone to call the fire
department.
It was bold of Henry to set the house on fire simply because he was reluctant to sell it!
The previous day, Mrs. Scarlet even mentioned that Henry was unwilling to sell the house. After all,
Henry had lived in the old mansion for most of his life, and it was Cole who owed other people money
and left Henry with no choice but to sell it off.
Mrs. Scarlet had probably erred in her judgment, all things considered.
Why would Cole-a man who feared death-be brave enough to court such a disaster?! Henry must have
been in on the plan too.
Was Henry betting on the fact that Elliot was afraid to kill him?!
In that case, Henry could not be more wrong! Elliot would not hesitate to go against anyone who angered
him, with the only exceptions being Avery and the children. The fire truck came quickly enough and
began to put out the fire. The staff from the residential area rushed over as well. When they saw Elliot’s
gloomy expression, they immediately asked, “Are you alright, Mr. Foster? How was there such a big fire
here? No one’s living in this villa, so logically speaking, there shouldn’t have been aed fire!
The staff had just finished talking when the bodyguard dragged the arsonist out.
Elliot clenched his fists tightly when he saw the arsonist’sie face!
About 20 minutes later, news of the fire in the old Foster mansion had spread throughout the internet.
Since the property was valued at a high price and the Fosters had always lived in that particular villa,
news of the fire quickly made the94 headlines.
Avery was with her children and did not see the news, “Avery! There’s a fire in Elliot’s house!” Mike
spoke a little too fast because he was feeling18 anxious.
When Avery heard what he said, her expression tensed up and she asked in a solemn voice,” What’s
going on? How did the fire happen? Is he alright?!” “I don’t know! I found out about it through the news. I
tried calling Chad but he didn’t answer. “Mike showed her the news, “Look how big the fire is! Even the
sky is red. This is horrifying! I’m not even sure if Elliot will be able to escape if he’s inside thed3 house!”
Avery took his cell phone and felt relieved after getting a good look at the picture! “This isn’t his house!
It’s the old mansion! He’s probably not insidecb there!”
“Oh, but I read on the news that it’s his.”
“Wait a second!” Avery’s body suddenly turned cold. “He just bought the old mansion today! He’s
probably inside it right now!” After saying that, she returned the phone to Mike and ran out in a flash!
“Avery! Wait! I’m coming with you!” Mike chased after her.
Half an hour later, Avery and Mike came to the residential area where the old Foster mansion was
located.
She practically ran to the old Foster mansion when she reached the area.
The fire was already put out. However, the cordon in front of the house was still up. There were a lot of
people surrounding the place and almost everyone was whispering about the fire and the story behind it.
Avery could not be bothered to listen to all that gossip! All she wanted to know was whether Elliot was
alright!
“You should give him a call and ask!” Mike caught his breath and reminded. “If he’s fine, he’ll answer
your call for sure!”
