At the banquet hall, Angela and Dean raised their glasses to the guests. Dean was extremely happy and in good spirits that day. However, even if he was in good spirits, after a few rounds of alcohol, his body could not take it in the end.Angela helped him to the side and looked at the time."Dean, it's almost eleven at night. Get the bodyguard to send you back to rest. We have our wedding tomorrow. You have to conserve your energy," Angela gently advised. "I'll be here with the guests a little bit longer. I'll be back latest by midnight."Dean thought of the wedding the next day. How he wished to be younger, then he would be able to stay up all night drinking, but like everyone else, he too succumbed to age. "Okay! Thank you. It's already so late yet you still have to stay here to host guests…""Dean, I'm very happy today. Much happier than you can imagine." Angela's gaze was spirited. "I promise it won't affect the wedding tomorrow."Dean saw her insistence and could only le
"Mainly because Chad is with him, so I didn't worry that much," Mike added."A social function?" Avery muttered. She was still worried, so she asked, "What social function? Where is it?""I don't know. I wanted to ask, too, but Chad won't tell me. After all, this is their work. How could they tell me." Mike shrugged. "Why don't you call Elliot and ask him?"Mike reminded her. She immediately headed back to her room."Avery, are you sober? Does your head hurt? Do you want to drink something? The nanny has made a sobering drink for you. It's in the thermos. I'll go get it for you!" Mike chased after her and said this before heading to the kitchen to get it for her.Avery quickly returned to her room and picked up her phone. She found Elliot's contact and called him.At the presidential suite of the hotel, Chad was in the living room when he heard Elliot's phone ring. He immediately went to the bedroom and picked Elliot's phone up.When he saw that it was a call from Avery, he answ
Elliot's bodyguard waited until two in the morning, yet he still did not see Angela come out. He felt that something was strange.After all, Angela was about sixty-something years old. How could a person at that age stay up so late at night?Moreover, she had her wedding the next day. It was impossible for her to stay up late.Thus, Elliot's bodyguard went into the hotel to ask and see if Angela's celebration banquet had ended.The hotel staff told him that it had ended at midnight. It had been two hours since the banquet ended.Elliot's bodyguard did not know what went wrong. He was bewildered.Chad believed that the bodyguard did not fall asleep, but something must have gone wrong somewhere."She is either still in the hotel or she must have left from another exit," Chad calmly analyzed. "Her wedding is tomorrow. She must have returned to the Jennings.""Then I'll go there and keep an eye on her.""I'm afraid you don't have a good opportunity to kidnap her already," Chad was
Dean hung up. With the help of the servants, he washed up."Sir, Ma'am might not be up yet," the servant consoled Dean."I guess so too. She usually sleeps quite a lot." Dean felt much better thinking that.After washing up, the servants sent breakfast to Dean's room.Dean was having breakfast while accepting phone calls from his friends wishing him well.After breakfast, the bodyguard called him."Mr. Jennings, I'm outside Angela's house now. I pressed the doorbell a few times, but no one opened the door. I can't get through her phone, too. What should I do now?" The bodyguard was a little worried."No one opened the door?" Dean gasped and said without thinking, "Kick the door down! It's her wedding day! She might have overslept!"Dean did not allow anything to go wrong on the wedding that day, not even being late! Dean did not hang up, so he heard the bodyguard fire his gun. After the door had been kicked down, the bodyguard quickly entered."Ma'am!" the bodyguard yelled.
"I don't think the wedding is happening anytime soon," the bodyguard mocked as he watched the entire Jennings family erupt into chaos. "I suppose there's no point for me to stay here any longer.""Don't be so sure yet," Chad immediately said. "Dean must have his men searching for Angela already. He is more powerful than us here in Bridgedale, so you should stay here and see if they find her in the end. It's still better than going to search for Angela on your own.""You have a point, Chad," the bodyguard said, before hanging up.Chad checked the time and noticed that it was only seven in the morning.Elliot was probably still asleep.He went toward the master bedroom and opened the door slightly to look inside; as expected, Elliot was still asleep.Elliot had drunk too much the night before and Chad did not think that he would be able to wake up until noon.Chad, too, had finished a whole bottle of red wine on his own, but he felt no other discomfort apart from the mild headache
Angela was beaming at her at the time. Avery had thought that Angela was mocking her, but based on what had happened, she realized that that might not be the case."Avery, why aren't you saying anything?" Sebastian asked. "This is probably a good thing, right? With her gone, she won't be marrying my dad and so my dad's plan has gone down the gutter."Avery hummed in response. "It's good news, but where is she? Where do you think she is? Has she been living with your dad all these years?""Yeah, it's been quite long. She moved in at first to take care of my dad, and then the two said they were getting married. She isn't in that blue building she owns as well. My dad has sent out all his men to look for her, but no one knows where she is.""Why would she just disappear? If she really doesn't want to marry your dad, she could have refused him. Why would she agree to marry him, only to run from the wedding? It's like it's all just a game for her," Avery said dazedly."She's kind of cr
Amelia quieted down."What aren't you two telling me?" Avery questioned. "Do you two know each other? How? Tell me!"Amelia was confused. "Didn't you say you are together? I thought you already knew.""We didn't break up, but he's not home right now. He went out last night and said he will be back in two days," Avery explained.Amelia was not anticipating this. Elliot would be furious if he found out that she had accidentally let their secret slip to Avery and would definitely not ask for her help with the surgery."Since there's no point hiding now, I will just tell you! He asked me to perform surgery on him today to take that device out of his brain," Amelia explained after readjusting herself. "Avery, I didn't contact him. He was the one who approached me.""Is he trying to die?""Of course, not! He just doesn't want to live under someone else's control any longer, nor does he want to watch while you suffer," she said. "Now that you know, you should go and talk to him!"Aver
"Mr. Foster, go wash up. I will order breakfast for you," Chad said before swiftly stepping out of the bedroom.After ordering food, Chas messaged Mike to explain the current situation.[Damn! I'm not really surprised that Elliot would do such a thing, but I still admire his courage!] Mike replied.[Avery is furious.][Is she wrong to be furious? She's been spending every waking and sleeping moment thinking of ways to save him, and he decides to die. I would be mad, too, if I was her.][But it's not really Mr. Foster's fault. He doesn't want to cause her any trouble.][I know that! I don't blame your boss for doing what he did, but if he wanted to die, he should have gotten on with it. Now that she found out, it's only going to upset her.][F*ck off!][I just woke up and I'll be heading to Dean and Angela's wedding later.][You just woke up? Angela has gone missing. There's no wedding today.][Sh*t! How did she go missing?]Just then, Chad received a phone call from Elliot's
