Mike was stunned. According to his research, there was no relation between Natalie and Dean, but it did seem to be a coincidence that they both shared the same family name."Maybe I'm just overthinking it," Avery said. "There are a lot of people who have the surname Jennings. They can't all be related.""Forget it and eat up! Weren't you the one who told me that thinking too much when you're eating would cause digestive issues?" Mike said while studying the frown between her brows."Yeah."After dinner, Avery returned to the room to wash up.She could not sleep at all on the plane no matter how hard she tried, so she was exhausted.After showering, she lay on the bed and spotted the big pile of documents Mike had gathered before closing her eyes. She wanted to reach out for it but her arms refused to move. Shortly after, she drifted off to sleep.The next day, the sun shone bright and Mike went to knock on Avery's door.She immediately opened the door."I thought you were stil
"Hello, Miss Tate," said the lawyer, greeting Avery. "I've already met with Wanda Tate's lawyer yesterday and was told that the evidence they hold is a recording of the phone conversation you had with Wanda before her death. They said that you admitted to wanting to kill her at the time.""How ridiculous. I know what I said. I did say that I was going to avenge my mother, but I did not say anything about revenge on Wanda unless she admitted to killing my mother!" She switched on her phone and said, "I recorded the conversation as well. You can listen to it."She found the recording and played it."What... What on earth are you talking about?! Your father is long gone! I watched them cremate him! You designed the robot to look exactly like your father. It was your father's dying wish, and now along comes Dream Maker. That's why you are using his face. This way he is fulfilling his dream! What a great daughter you are!""Wanda, since you've already found out this much, I can only adm
In Aryadelle, Ben had returned but had not gone home to rest immediately. He saw Chad's message as soon as he turned on his phone and called Chad right away. Once Chad explained the situation, Ben instantly told the driver to take him to Tate Industries.Natalie was slightly surprised when she saw Ben."Mr. Schaffer, to what do I owe the pleasure?" She set her work aside and stepped out of her desk. "Do you want something to drink?""Nothing." A cold smile appeared on his face. "Natalie, you should know why I'm here, right?"She watched as the smile faded from his face and realized that there was no point for her to fake ignorance."I can guess." Natalie led him to the couch to sit. "This is about last night, right? I can explain.""Sure. Explain away." Ben sat down casually and stared at her.She lowered her gaze thoughtfully for a few moments and said, "My cousin came to Aryadelle to work after graduating. My aunt reminded me over and over again to look after her. I reminded h
She did not want to look at the face of her moronic cousin again....Avery arrived at the restaurant and saw Sebastian, who she had not seen for a long while.They were not close in the past, so she had already forgotten what he looked like. Seeing him today gave her a feeling that they had never been classmates before. She scowled at the unfamiliar feeling like they were strangers that had never met before."What's that look on your face? Do you think I'm ugly?" Sebastian took out his phone to check his face through the front camera. "I'm quite handsome, I think!""I just feel like I've never known you at all. I can't even be sure if you were really my classmate," Avery confessed."Pfft!" Sebastian came close to spitting out his breakfast. "Avery Tate, that's so rude! I am the second son of the famous Jennings family and you claim to not know me?""MediLove Pharmaceutical is run by your father and your two uncles, so I know what your father and uncles look like. When you final
"I have analyzed it seriously before." Sebastian was afraid that Avery would not believe him, so he said in a low and mysterious voice, "My father is seventy years old this year. When he found a new girlfriend, they would spend all day together. He only had eyes for her, and even when he went to Ylore he took her along."Avery listened attentively, not interrupting him."My father is addicted to women. Although he was also quite ambitious, the foundation of MediLove Pharmaceutical was set by my two uncles. Perhaps because my father doesn't work much, so his body is still in a good condition, whereas my two uncles' health was ruined," Sebastian said. "I'm only telling you this. Don't tell anyone else."Avery blinked. "All these things that you told me are completely useless to me.""How is it useless? I'm trying to eliminate the possibilities. My father surely did not kidnap Elliot. He doesn't like men. He even hates them." Sebastian thought that the information that he provided was
Some of the students yelled and escaped. The bolder ones stood by the side to watch it unfold.Leah's head snapped to the side from the force of the blow, and Layla saw all of this. She did not think and made to rush over.The bodyguard saw that Layla was about to go over, and he immediately stopped her and made his way to Leah."Shut up and follow me!" Leah's mother reprimanded her daughter in public. "I have had enough of you! If I let you continue to be so wild, you might not even know who you are anymore!"Leah clutched her burning cheek. She saw the children surrounding her from the corner of her eyes.As a schoolteacher, at that moment, she was completely embarrassed."What identity?" Leah looked at her mother with teary eyes. "I'm my own person.""Leah, what do you mean by this? Are you going up against me?" Mrs. Kennedy was disappointed when she noticed her daughter disobeying her. "Tell me now, in front of everyone. Tell me, are you going up against me!"Her yells attr
"Your Ms. Kennedy is not missing her mother, she is missing her family's money," George said to Layla.Leah looked up and glared at him before hurrying out of the school gates."Uncle George, you've crossed a line," Layla said and followed Leah. "Let's send Ms. Kennedy home!""Layla, let's not interfere. If we follow her, we might affect her ability to reconcile with her mother." George was angry at Mrs. Kennedy for what she had said about him a moment ago. "Her mother twists facts and has a dirty mouth. I'm afraid if I see her again, I will attack her."Layla replied, "Okay, then! I only feel bad for her. She looked so sad with how she was crying. If I was beaten by my mother—""How could your mother possibly beat you? Don't compare your mother to her mother. They are different." George brought Layla out of school and sent her to the car."Uncle George, after you send me home, go see Ms. Kennedy! If you don't want to go, why don't you call her and ask her if she is alright?"Ge
"Don't compare Avery to other women! You don't know how brilliant Avery is. I know her. She might even be able to cure my brother's sickness." Sebastian got in the car and his assistant followed him closely."Since Avery could cure your brother's sickness, why didn't Old Mr. Jennings hire her to cure him? Wasn't your brother his favorite child?" Sebastian's assistant asked.Sebastian smiled but said nothing.When Avery returned home, she had initially planned to take a nap in her bedroom. However, the moment she entered her room and saw the stack of information on the Jennings by her bed, she was instantly spirited.She took the stack to the window, and she sat down in her chair and started reading through the stack with the sunlight streaming through the window. Her meeting with Sebastian that day had piqued her interest in the Jennings family.Sebastian had said that his father disliked men, implying that his father could not have been the one to have taken Elliot. Avery still
