Chapter 2056
Ben attempted to get close enough to eavesdrop, but Avery and Professor Greens were whispering to one another. Even when Avery appeared to be frustrated and miserable, her voice remained contained out of fear that she would disturb others in the bookstore.Failing terribly at eavesdropping, Ben returned to his original position and took out his phone to take a picture of Avery and Professor Greens, before sending it to Mike.[Guess I'm the third wheel here.]Mike replied. [Hahahaha!][Judging from the look on Avery's face, things are quite bad.][Can Elliot be dead?][You shut your mouth!][You are the one who said it looks bad...][She just seems a bit frustrated.][You just haven't spent enough time with her lately. She is always frustrated.][Oh! I guess I am overthinking then.][Something fun is about to happen later today.][Fun? Where?][You are so nosy! Focus on keeping Avery company instead of trying to have fun!][???][Let me know what Avery and that professor
Chapter 2057
Dean narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the video."I've worked beside Dean Jennings for fifteen years. I quit my job two years ago and returned home due to a severe injury. For the past year or so, I've been tormented, and every time I close my eyes, I'm haunted by countless spirits that died in vain because of him... Throughout the fifteen years, I've worked for him, I've killed a total of eighteen people, including his lovers and children. Of course, those children aren't really his children. Dean Jennings tells the world that they were his children to cover up the fact that he had long lost the ability to make children!""Baam!"Dean threw Sebastian's phone onto the ground, but the video was still playing."Eighteen lives, gone, simply because he wanted them gone. He had more bodyguards under his command killed… Even Dean Jennings himself must have lost track on how many women and children died because of him.""B*st*rd! Shut up! Shut up!" Dean barked and stomped ferocio
Chapter 2058
Dean's mood instantly lightened. The money he spent was only meant to ward off bad luck, and he could always earn more again.Meanwhile, after chatting with Professor Greens, Avery stepped out of the bookstore wordlessly and locked herself inside her bedroom after arriving home.Ben tried a few times to ask what had happened, but he could not bring himself to actually ask the question. Once he got Avery home, he called Mike and told him to hurry home.When Mike hurried home, he went to knock on Avery's door but did not dare to intrude when she did not respond.In the evening, Ben urged Mike to get Avery. "Go tell her to come out for dinner!"Mike shook his head. "I don't dare to. I think Elliot might be dead. Why else would she stay quiet the whole time?""You keep saying that! I'm really going to get upset!""Then go ask her! What's the point of shouting at me?" Mike shoved Ben toward Avery's bedroom door. "You probably won't be able to eat if you don't ask her."Ben took a de

"I've never heard of that before," Mike said. "If something like that exists, Angela is playing God! No one would die anymore! If she's really that skilled, she could have just used any corpse. She didn't have to steal Elliot all the way from Ylore just to bring him back to life!"Ben nodded and turned to face Avery. "Avery, we don't know the first thing about biology, but you do. Do you think this is true?"She took a deep breath and shook her head. "I don't know. This goes beyond my knowledge. I don't know anything about what Angela is capable of, so it could be true or fake.""You didn't ask that professor?" Ben asked. "He must have gone through her research data... Marshall’s Award is not just some random award...""Professor Greens said he hasn't gone through her research data yet because there is too much data." She lowered her gaze. "So Elliot is still alive, then?" Ben asked. "I can't eat until I know this.""Go back to your hotel if you can't eat! Don't stop us from eat
Chapter 2060
Dean's blood pressure shot up. He had spent a fortune bribing the press and had thought that he could put this incident behind him, only to be surprised to find out that Dream Maker was in possession of the video as well."Can Dream Maker be the one who actually sent the video to the press?" he thought.When Sebastian saw the video being played on the Dream Maker building, he seemed to have realized something and called Avery.Avery picked up right away."Avery, what exactly is your relationship with Dream Maker? Sebastian was not frustrated at all because he didn't care if Dean was doomed. He had no affection for his father, so he only cared about the future of the Jennings family because his fate was tied to that of the Jennings family. Though his life wouldn't be over if his family collapsed, it would definitely be less luxurious if he was no longer the second son of the Jennings family.Avery had just seen the video playing on the Dream Maker building. She had only seen half o
Chapter 2061
Avery wanted to say something, but she was not sure what the appropriate words were. No matter how much Sebastian hated Dean, Dean would always be his father; and Avery did not intend to let Dean go no matter what.She sighed after the call, but before she could completely regain her composure, Dean called."Avery, are you toying with me?" he growled. "You know that we have Elliot Foster and still... Aren't you afraid that I will kill him?"Avery felt nothing despite hearing his threats. "Elliot will be fine… at least until Angela gets the Marshall's Award.""You—""And I will get Elliot out before she gets the award. You, on the other hand, just wait for your karma!" she said, before hanging up.Professor Greens found a CD in the documents Angela had mailed to the committee. He placed the CD into the computer and Angela's face instantly popped up on the screen.She started with a self-introduction, before beginning to introduce her experiment.Professor stared at the screen un

Avery was not as surprised as she thought she would be when she heard everything from Professor Greens."You haven't seen Elliot in person?""No. Angela went past us and directly made an agreement with our leader. I supposed it's confirmed that she will be winning the award.""How can I find Elliot?" Avery mumbled."I'm sorry, but I've told you everything I know. I haven't a clue about the rest.""It's fine... Thank you, anyway."After the call, she tilted her chin up so that her tears would not fall.Elliot was still alive, but she had no idea what he looked like in the present, or whether he remembered her and the children at all.Meanwhile, the internet was exploding with comments. They were all reacting to the video on the Dream Maker building. [Oh, the drama! If what's on that video is true, this is just shocking!][Dream Maker and MediLove aren't even competitors in the same industry! Why are they firing at each other? By the way, who is the owner of Dream Maker? I've
Chapter 2063
Angela was still staying in his house. If she refused to help him, could he simply call his bodyguards over to kill her, as he did with his previous girlfriends?He could not. Angela could not die now because she had not won the Marshall's Award."I will call Avery now. Don't worry." She turned around and walked to the other side of the bed to grab her phone.Dean hurried over to sit beside Angela to watch her make the call to Avery.Pressured into obeying, she called Avery and Avery answered right away."Avery, I have Elliot now. If you don't want him to get hurt, you are going to stop going against Dean!" Worried that Dean would not be assured, she made a point by putting her phone on speaker."Aren't you in hiding now? I thought you would be too focused on winning to be bothered by anything else," Avery teased. "I heard that it's your biggest dream to win the Marshall’s Award. You are only engaged to Dean Jennings because you are using him! Once you get the award, you are defi
