Chapter 2094
[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

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

"Avery has become so gentle lately. It's a bit hard for me to adjust to it," Ben said. "If only she was like this back then, you two wouldn't be fighting so much.""I'd rather she act as she did before. At least that would mean that I'm still the same man I was." Elliot set the phone down."Elliot, what's happening to you now is just temporary. Just think of this as taking a break." Ben could understand why Elliot was having a hard time adjusting. "It's always darkest before dawn.""Ben, are you really that optimistic?" Elliot looked at him and drawled, "Both you and Avery are just lying."Ben felt uncomfortable under Elliot's stare. "Would you rather I sit here and discuss your funeral with you instead? Elliot, I wasn't lying when I said I believe in Avery. It's not to calm you down or because I’m in denial. If Avery fails, no one else will be capable of saving you.""If she has to pay a high price to do so, I'd rather she doesn't try.""Don't overthink this and just let her try

The designer noted the request and took the dress away.Once the designer was gone, Dean helped Angela to the couch and they both sat down."Angela, you should have mentioned this the last time so that the designer won't have to redo the dress. It's not that I care about the money, but this is wasting time," Dean said gently."I'm sorry, Dean! It's my fault. I didn't think too much of it when we were picking out the style, and now that the wedding is getting closer, I am feeling a little nervous..." she explained. "I've always lived a carefree life before I met you, and after marrying you, I will be living my life with a different identity. I'm just nervous!""Don't get nervous, Angela. I won't let you down. I spent a lot of time fooling around before I met you, and I'm sick of that. I only wish to settle down now, and you are the best person for me." He held her hand and consoled her. "I don't like black, but I'm willing to change for your sake. You are the only woman who can make

"It's just a small, yet powerful device. How does it even work?"Avery went over and handed her a few documents."These are the documents that explain the theory, but I am having a hard time understanding them. Without conducting experiments myself, these just look like fantasy stories.""The design of it looks like an electronic board. Have you seen one before? It's like she had connected every single nerve inside the brain onto that board. It sounds absurd, but Angela made a bold move to try it, and it worked."This was far beyond Avery's medical knowledge, and it was a concept that she would not have even dared imagine, even in her wildest dreams. "Elly was right just now. To understand the device as soon as possible, the only way is to take it out so that you can better understand how it works."Avery immediately shook her head. "No way. Elliot is barely surviving using this device. What if he dies when we take the device out?""Yeah. We are just saying that this is the fas
