The assistant replied. [If we can obtain Dream Maker, why bother with Tate Industries?][...] Natalie had not expected Dean to be this ambitious.[Natalie, I know that you are proud and have your own point of view, but speaking from experience, it's best that you just listen to your father. That's the only way you can be more successful.][I'm really curious about how much he is paying you each year to get you to be so obedient.][... You said you ran into Avery and Elliot in the hospital. Why were you at the hospital?][I've been hit.][... By who? Can we talk on the phone now?][My aunt. I've stopped considering her my aunt, though, from the moment she hit me.][I was wondering who had the guts to hit you. Are you free tonight? I will buy you dinner.]Natalie hesitated.Dean's assistant was a divorced man in his forties. he looked awfully greasy but had a brilliant way with his job so Dean trusted him.Natalie had enemies in all directions at the present. Avery and Elliot
Chapter 2092
The CT scan showed that there was a metal object inside his head.Avery's eyes glittered with disappointment. She had hoped that Angela was lying about bringing the dead back to life, but with the results of the CT scan, her last hope was destroyed."What's wrong?" Elliot studied her expression and asked, "Is it bad?"She shook her head. "No. The report just suggests that there's a foreign object in your brain. Let's go take some other tests. Once everything is done, your finalized report should be ready." She paused, before continuing, "Elliot, don't be too pessimistic. Professor Greens used to say that I'm better than Angela. If she can do this, I will soon understand her research.""I'm so worried that you would exhaust yourself.""I'm not tired. Not at all. I will only be tired if you aren't with me. Without you, eating, sleeping, and breathing all feel tiring. With you by my side now, I feel motivated." She wrapped her arms around his and grabbed his hand and squeezed them. "

"Sebastian, are you saying these things because you think I was wrong before? You think that I killed those women and children because of an inferiority complex?""Dad, what happened is in the past. I am only saying what I said out of hope that you will live a wonderful, loving life with Aunt Angela.""Hahaha! So long as she doesn't betray me, of course, I won't kill her. I called you here today to discuss the rest of your life, actually." The smile returned to Dean's face. "Sebastian, you are old enough now to start a family. I am looking forward to becoming a grandfather.""Why do you want grandchildren out of the blue, Dad?" Sebastian asked warily."Why won't I want that? Isn't it normal to want grandchildren? Do you intend on staying single forever? That's not going to work." Dean grabbed his fork to take a piece of broccoli. "Do you have someone you like?""No.""That's a lie." Dean glared at him. "You like Avery Tate, don't you? I can tell."Sebastian froze. "Dad, Avery an

[Avery, my dad wants us to get married. I'm guessing that he's going after Dream Maker. He probably thinks that if I marry you, he can get his hands on Dream Maker.][He said that he will implement this plan once he marries Angela. If you don't want to marry me, think of something soon because I can't disobey my dad!]Sebastian had sent over two messages, and Elliot saw both of them.Elliot stared at the screen for a few more moments, wondering if there would be more messages from Sebastian, but the screen went black and did not light up again.Shortly after, Avery came out of the shower."Help me get a phone," said Elliot while holding a book that she had purchased for him and leaning against the bedhead."Sure. Same brand as the one you had before? Do you want to use your old number or a new one?" Avery strolled toward the bed, all while studying his face.Elliot was asking for a phone, which meant that he wished to contact someone else apart from her and that was a good thing

"Why are you in my study?" Avery strode up to him.Mike had Elliot's bodycheck results in his hands and was reading through them with such attention that Avery knew he was reading Elliot's results and not his own. He would not read his own results with such intensity. "I'm reading the medical reports! You haven't told me anything...""He was there during dinner. Who would ask about someone's medical reports right in front of them like you did?" Avery snatched the reports away from him and placed them on the desk. "There was, indeed, a special device implanted in his brain. Apart from that, there is no abnormality in his physical condition. I don't fully understand the thing inside his brain, but everything else about him is normal.""Isn't that a good thing?" Mike seemed slightly surprised at the outcome. "Is Angela really that capable of miracles? That device literally brought the dead back to life.""What, "dead"? Mike, stop saying things like that in front of me!"This was th

Just as she was about to call Angela, she received a message from Sebastian.[Calm down, will you?! If you go to Angela now, you are going to expose me!]Sebastian had informed her about Dean's plan right away, and if Dean found out that Avery knew, he would surely doubt Sebastian's loyalty toward him because he had not told Angela about this. If Avery confronted Angela about this, Angela would definitely ask Dean about it.Avery slowly regained her composure while staring at the message.No one could stop Dean's ambition; not Sebastian, and not even Angela.Dean was plotting to take over Dream Maker because he was certain that Avery would be under Angela's control. The only way for Avery to escape the hold they had over her was to find a solution as soon as possible. If she failed to find a way before Dean made the threats, she would have no option but to obey.Her blood ran cold at the thought.If Dean intended to execute his plan after marrying Angela, Avery would not be able

"You win." Leah admitted defeat. "You are so good to me, George. Sometimes, I don't even know what to do about that."George cleared his throat in embarrassment and changed the subject. "Have you made up with your parents?""I guess! They've made a lot of changes for my sake, which means that they care about me after all. Besides, they promised that they won't make me marry someone I don't like."Leah had leaped into the river because she had been forced to do so, but she had benefited from it in the end. Had that not happened, her broken relationship with her parents would never have healed so quickly."So are you just going to work here for a while and go back to your parents?" George asked.Leah could not help but chuckle. "Why are you asking? You don't want me to leave?"George blushed and said, "No. That's not it. You can go if you want to...""Are you lying? Look at how flushed you are. It's not embarrassing that you like me."George had not expected her to be so forward
Chapter 2098
Ben hesitated. "I'm just worried about you.""What exactly are you worried about?" Elliot asked. "That I have nothing to eat or that I will catch a cold? Or are you worried that you won't get to see me one last time if I drop dead?"Ben was rendered completely speechless. "Elliot, that's not what I mean... I am just worried about you because it's been so long since I saw you, and I just wanted to talk to you more often...""You are just worried that we won't have time to talk again in the future!" Elliot said."Of course, not! I'm confident in Avery," Ben said sincerely. "Since you are getting a new phone today, I will go back tomorrow.""You knew about Natalie, didn't you?""You mean how she bribed Holly Blanche into tricking and trapping you two in Ylore?" Ben asked. "That woman is pure evil! One really wouldn't be able to tell that she's such a person from her appearance. She used to fawn over you, and I just thought of her as one of many women who pursued you. Who would have
