Chapter 136
We went back down to the lobby, and right before we entered the restaurant, I looked at my phone and frowned. Ava hadn’t answered my message about needing to reschedule. I told Rose that I’d meet her in the restaurant in a second and called Ava to make sure that she was alright.
“Hey, Olivia,” Ava said when she answered the phone.
“Hi, is everything alright?” I asked.
“Yeah! I was actually just going to call you,” she said with excitement in her voice. “I got a call from my good friend who’s a lawyer–Lucy. She told me that she found sufficient evidence that could actually bring down Chole for good this time.”
