NovelAppChapter 546 Russell pondered for a moment before saying, "Telleverything you know." Aveline nodded and carefully recounted the situation as it had unfolded.
After a while, Russell suddenly chuckled softly. Aveline looked at him, puzzled. "What's so funny?" Russell responded, "Aveline, I have a bold theory." "Go on," Aveline urged, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Russell pulled the car over to the side of the road, resting his hand on the steering wheel. A playful, almost mischievous smile spread across his striking features. "What if," he began, "someone impersonated Bobby and committed those acts, framing him in the process?" Aveline's eyes widened slowly as the possibility sank in. She clenched the small cookie in her hand, her mind racing.

Suddenly, Russell pulled out another packet of cookies and handed it to Aveline "You seem to enjoy these.
Have smore." Aveline paused for a moment before accepting them. "They are pretty good."
Russell's smile grew more mischievous. I've got a sweet tooth myself, so I always keep sin the car. If there's anything you like, just letknow, and I'll make sure to have it with me." Aveline nodded. "Sure.*
