Chapter 211

• As soon as Avery Lamour walked through the door, she could tell something was wrong. She noticed Joy Lamour’s car parked in the courtyard and assumed she had returned.
• Joy would usually make a big deal about her arrival because she wanted everyone to know she was home. It had never been quieter when Joy was present.
• This silence made Avery even more concerned. A glass ashtray was thrown at her as soon as she pushed the door open. She was stunned and experienced a sharp pain in her shoulder. She clenched her teeth as cold sweat dripped from her brow. When she looked up and saw the two people sitting on the sofa, her face turned pale.
