"She is your cousin, after all. I can understand why you couldn't tell me right away. I will come to thank you in person when I come back.""It's okay. I hope that you find Mr. Foster soon. That way, I can at least feel a little better.""Yeah, we will find him."...A while later, Ben received information on Natalie's whereabouts and called Avery. "Avery, Natalie is heading to Bridgedale! She will be landing in an hour. Gather some men and capture her at the airport."Avery stepped out of her room with her phone in hand.The nanny heard the sound of the door opening and came outside as well."Miss Tate, where are you going? Aren't you injured?" The nanny asked in confusion when she saw Avery reaching for the car keys.Mike stepped out of his room and asked, "Avery, you are heading out?""I'm going to the airport! Natalie will be landing soon!""Natalie? What do you want with her?" Mike grabbed her by the arm. "You are injured, or have you already forgotten about that? You ca

"Miss Tate, what a coincidence. Are you here to pick someone up as well?" Dean was behind her.Everyone turned around to see Dean leading a huge team of bodyguards."Mr. Jennings, you brought so many bodyguards here to the airport. Why? Are there criminals here?" Mike sneered.Dean said with a smile. "There are many people at the airport. I usually take along many bodyguards with me when I go to places with many people." Then, he sized up their bodyguards. "You also brought quite some bodyguards with you."While they were talking, Natalie walked over to Dean and stood in front of him. She said in a low voice, "Dad, thank you for coming to pick me up."Dean nodded at his men, and they immediately took Natalie's luggage from her.Dean held Natalie's hand. "You are my daughter. It's not a problem coming to pick you up."Their words were like a knife stabbing into Avery's heart! Natalie was about to leave with Dean just like that. She was unhappy about it! She lost it, rushed forw
Chapter 2027
"I never said that your cousin told me about this!" Avery would not sell Leah out. "If I dare to stop you here, that meant I have received solid news. Natalie, you were trying to kill Elliot and I to make Tate Industries your own! It was a great plan, but sadly, I'm not dead!""If it wasn't my cousin who told you, where did you get your news from? Avery, since you have proof, show us! If you can prove that it was me, I'll let you do anything to me! If you don't have proof, ordering your bodyguards to grab me is against the law!"Natalie shouted as loudly as she could to emphasize how the law was on her side. Avery heard how arrogant she sounded and completely lost it!At the thought of how much she and Elliot had suffered in Ylore, and how Elliot was nowhere to be found while all she could do was wonder whether he was suffering or not, and how the mastermind was standing before her yet she was powerless to do anything made her lose it. She could no longer remain calm!"So, what i

"Not working together," Dean corrected her. "You're working for me. If you do it well, I'll reward you. If you mess it up, you will face whoever wants to kill you on your own."Natalie gulped. Her heart was beating wildly. She was at a loss for words. No wonder her mother left Dean back then. How would her mother not have weighed the pros and cons? The possibility of danger by being with Dean would surely be much higher than the advantages she received."Why are you not talking?" Dean looked at her.Natalie's fawning gaze vanished. At that moment, she looked extremely cold. He could not guess what she was thinking."Dean, it is true that I tried to kill Elliot and Avery, but Avery is not dead. If you hadn't removed Elliot from the underground cellar, they would have managed to rescue both Elliot and Avery. If I were to tell Avery that you are the one who has Elliot, do you think I would be her only target?"Natalie could not find it in herself to call him Dad."Are you threatenin
Chapter 2029
Perhaps it was because she had exerted too much strength at the airport a moment ago. Right now, she felt exhausted and dizzy.She wanted to quickly rescue Elliot, even if it meant sacrificing her life. However, without any proof, she did not know where Elliot was being hidden. It was difficult to make the next step.A long time later, her phone suddenly rang, pulling her back to reality. She stiffly took her phone and picked up the call."Avery, I heard that you were stabbed by my brother. Are you alright? My dad called me to his place this evening. I have just reached home." Sebastian had wanted to call her sooner, but it was inconvenient to do so while was at his father's place. "Rather than say that it was your brother who stabbed me, you should say that your dad wants me dead," Avery's tone was cold."I know. Angela was chatting with me tonight. She teased me and told me to pay more attention to Natalie. She said that my dad likes her a lot. He praised her for being smart an
Chapter 2030
Avery most likely had heard what he said because he could clearly hear her crying, but she did not answer his question.Sebastian listened to her sobbing. Other than listening to her, he could not do anything else.After a while, Avery realized that the call was still connected. She quickly said, "It has nothing to do with you…" Then, she hung up.Sebastian looked at the disconnected call. His head hurt. From what Avery said a moment ago, it was not hard to guess that she had previously misunderstood Elliot and had blamed him for her misunderstanding. That night, she realized her mistake.If Elliot was by her side, she would surely apologize to him and try to compensate him. However, at that moment, she could not find Elliot, so even if the misunderstanding had been cleared, it would only create more guilt for her.Mike stood outside Avery's door for a while before walking over to Hayden's room and knocking on his door. He felt heavy. When they left for the airport, Hayden

"If you can't sleep, go online and take down all the videos. I don't want Mommy to be on the front-page news tomorrow.""Okay. I'll go handle it right now."When Natalie came out from the Jennings', it was already one in the morning. Dean got her to stay but she refused. Dean was going to get married to Angela soon. Furthermore, Natalie hated Dean, but she needed his protection, so she could not express her hatred too obviously.If she were to stay under the same roof with him, she was afraid that she would be annoyed to death.She got Dean's men to send her back to her house in Bridgedale.When she reached home, it was almost two in the morning. She did not have any urge to sleep. Her mother had sent her a few messages, asking her about her situation.She called her mother."Mom, Dean only wants Tate Industries. He doesn't care for me as his daughter," Natalie felt unfair. "In his eyes, I'm only a tool for him to gain benefits. He is already seventy-three. Why is he still so in
Chapter 2032
Avery had not slept for the entire night either.She could not help but think back on all her memories with Elliot. The more she thought of it, the sadder she got. It was as if time had been paused. If Mike had not entered, she would have just lain there dreaming with her eyes open."Big H is still the best. I never thought of investigating Angela, but Hayden thought of it immediately." Mike sat down next to Avery's bed and said excitedly, "Do you know how Dean and Angela got acquainted?"Avery said, "Dean said they knew each other a long time ago.""Dean invested in Angela's company. Not only was this company not earning any money, but he also had to put quite a lot of money into it every year. However, Dean seemed to willingly just give Angela that much money every year. Why? Dean is a very pragmatic person. He would not even treat his own son that well, why was he being so nice to a woman?"Avery listened attentively, not interrupting him."Hayden found out about this company.
