Of course, Natalie did not want to die. She only thought that Avery would not be able to find out about her so quickly.One was because Avery was going to Bridgedale to deal with Wanda at that moment. Also, after she tricked Avery and Elliot into the underground cellar, someone interfered and kidnapped Elliot.Even if Avery was to investigate it, she would only investigate who kidnapped Elliot.After Natalie returned to her bedroom, Mrs. Jennings went to the guest room next door.She was distracted. She felt that the truth had created a bigger rift between her and her daughter. This was not what she had wanted. She could do without her husband, but she could not lose her daughter.Besides, Avery posed a danger to Natalie at that moment. She had to find a way to help Natalie.Just like before, when her daughter left to study abroad and found jobs after graduation. She had secretly helped her daughter.Only she understood the pain of her child.Although Dean Jennings lost a lot
"Dad, were you looking for me?" Sebastian closed the door behind him after he entered the office.Dean was sitting on the rotating leather chair. Looking at his son, he said, "Sebastian, you met with Avery already. How was it?""It's just like old schoolmates meeting up. Nothing much, but I feel she still looks down on me just like before," Sebastian complained. "This woman is direct. She never gives face to others while talking, but I do quite like her character.""Give me her contact. I want to let her have a look at your brother's illness," said Dean, revealing his reason for contacting his son. The amusement in Sebastian's eyes was instantly gone. "Dad, didn't you say Aunt Angela would help treat him?""Your Aunt Angela has other things to be busy about. She can't cope with your brother's illness for now," Dean said. "Give me Avery's number. I'll get my assistant to contact her."Dean was not discussing it with Sebastian. He was ordering his son. Sebastian did not dare to
Since it was already quite late that day, Hayden was about to return soon, so after giving it some thought, Avery said, "Tomorrow morning.""Okay, then we'll meet tomorrow at ten in the morning. You can decide the location."Avery told him about a cafe near her neighborhood.After deciding on the time and place, she hung up.The nanny brought the bowl of oatmeal porridge and a plate of freshly cut berries and placed them before her. "Miss Tate, eat up. I'll go cook the ravioli.""Where is Mike?" She remembered that Mike was with her that morning."He said that there's something at the office, so he went to the office. He'll be back once he is done," The nanny replied."Hmm." Avery had two mouthfuls of porridge, suppressing the uneasiness in her stomach. Then, she picked up her phone and sent Mike a message.After receiving her message, Mike immediately called her back. "Dean Jennings is asking to see you? What for?""His assistant called him. I didn't ask.""Oh… then I'll c
"Hello, Mr. Jennings," said Avery, greeting Dean."Miss Tate, your reputation precedes you. I finally get to meet you." Dean sat opposite her. "I asked you out today because I have a favor to ask of you.""Do tell me.""My eldest son, Bobby, had a car crash half a year ago. He hurt his brain. I found many specialists, but no one could cure him. Someone recommended you to me. I had wanted to contact you, but by then, you had already returned to Aryadelle."At that, Avery nodded. "Did you bring your son's medical records? I have to go through his records so I can answer your questions. I can't cure all brain illnesses."Dean never thought that Avery would be so friendly and accommodating. He immediately got his assistant to pass Avery Bobby's medical records.Avery accepted the medical records and asked, "Is your son at home or in the hospital right now?""At home. If he goes to the hospital, he will receive the most basic care at most.""Hmm." Avery took out Bobby's brain scan f
Dean was stunned."Miss Tate, I had not heard about any of this. If you had never brought it up, I would have never known about it.""Hmm, it's all small matters.""I don't think this is considered a small matter, right? Why did she hit you?" Dean sounded as if the slap had wronged him. The incident happened many years ago. When Avery thought back about it, she did not feel anything."Back then, she had insisted on seeing Professor Hough, but he had refused to see her, so I helped him stop her. I wanted to persuade her to leave, but in the end, she called me a b*tch and slapped me. I'm not sure if she still remembers me or not, but because of this, I still clearly remember her."When Dean mentioned Angela's name, she immediately thought of that woman."My son was like you. He has studied under Professor Hough before. Why doesn't he know about this?" Dean was confused. "When I brought Angela to see my children, they were all meeting her for the first time.""Your son's focus ba
"Yes! I don't want to raise them alone, so I still need to continue looking for him. Even if he is dead, I have to find his remains. What if he is somewhere hiding, living the time of his life? I don't want to tire myself to death, raising so many children on my own.""Haha! You joke, Miss Tate. Elliot is dead. Does that mean his inheritance is all in your hand? By then, you can hire as many nannies as you want. You take his money, and just enjoy your life.""Mr. Jennings, what you said makes sense. I never thought of this." Avery no longer wanted to chat with him, so she took her phone out and pretended to be busy on it.Once the car reached the Jennings, Avery got out of the car with the help of the bodyguard."This is Bobby's house! I'm not going in!" Dean stood next to Avery and said, "Bobby is my favorite son. He is smart and capable. I initially thought that he could take over my position. I never thought that something like that would happen to him. Every time I see him, my
Avery was not charging Dean any money because she wanted to directly make a deal with Bobby.Bobby never expected that Avery would say that to him. He was stunned."I heard your father say that you are his most precious son. Your family has such a huge business. He initially wanted you to take over because you are his smartest and most capable son. Looking at you now, he is extremely heartbroken. If you can recover, he would surely put you back in charge," Avery lay out his options in front of him, "You surely want to go back to your original life, right?"Bobby hesitated for a while and asked, "What do you want? Do you think a cripple like me can satisfy your conditions?""I'm going to take a bet. You are Dean's most important son. If you can't do it, no one else can.""What do you want?""I want to know where Elliot Foster is.""Hah! I don't know!" Bobby answered without even thinking. "I don't know Elliot! I have never met him. I won't even know where he is. What makes you th
Avery saw him losing control of his emotions, and she immediately said, "Consider my deal. As long as you help me find Elliot, I'll promise to cure you." "Leave!" Bobby covered his ears, no longer wanting to hear her voice. As if he would die hearing her voice for a single second more.Avery was extremely surprised at his reactions, but she did not want to continue agitating him, so she quickly left the room."Miss Tate, why are you out so quickly?" The bodyguard observed her closely to see if she was hurt or not."We'll talk once we're outside."Avery quickly left the house. On the way back, Avery kept thinking back about everything that happened after meeting Bobby.The words that Bobby said were particularly strange. He seemed to be hinting at something, but it was not obvious.His reaction was completely different from her expectations. She really wanted to know why.Returning home, she took a cup of water and drank it all down.The nanny saw her return and immediately se
