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
"Besides, my dad will be looking for Mary as well. He won't stop," Sebastian said. "Come to think of it, Angela had it all planned out right from the beginning! She has been weaving this gigantic web this whole time! She had known my dad for years, and still, she had never allowed us to meet Mary."Avery listened to him seriously while trying to figure out a way to find Mary."None of us know what she looks like, so it's difficult to find her. My dad has never paid much attention to Mary because she was adopted. Judging from the current situation, I think Angela had handed everything she had over to Mary." Sebastian came to a sudden realization. "My dad thought he outsmarted everyone, but he had lost to Angela right from the start.""Sebastian, let me know right away if your dad finds Mary." Avery paused for a moment, before continuing, "I didn't expect Angela to end her life like that. She didn't give anyone a chance to react.""You are panicking, aren't you? Now that Angela is de
"I'll go home at night." He did not want to end their relationship; he simply did not want to spend all day under her supervision as though he would not survive without her protection. It felt horrible, and he would rather die on the streets than live like this."Alright... As long as you are willing to come home. But no more drinking or getting drunk," Avery said. "I won't drink again as well.""Go!" Elliot set the glass of milk down. "I want to rest."Avery hesitated for a moment, before turning to leave.Chad was surprised to see Avery coming out this quickly. "Avery, Mr. Foster...""He said he wants to rest." She looked at Chad and said, "He's mad at me. I can't blame him because I did break our promise. Chad, keep an eye on him. He said he will come home at night, so please help send him back."Chad nodded. "I don't know what happened between you two, but make sure you talk it out.""Angela is dead, and it's over now." Avery did not want to discuss this any further. "I'll b
Sebastian stared at the trembling wrinkles on Dean's face and asked, "Dad, did Aunt Angela really not say anything to you before she died?""Nothing at all! Do you really think I would let the wedding go on if she had told me about this? I can't take the humiliation!" Dean's blood pressure was about to rise again."Don't get mad, Dad. Angela is already dead. You need to take care of yourself," Sebastian said. "Just stay in the hospital until you recover. I've sent someone over to the wedding venue to take care of things. We will just treat it as your birthday celebration for this year.""Sebastian, are you laughing at me?" Dean forcefully suppressed his anger. He had always been proud, and he knew just how discomfited he looked more than anyone. He did not want anyone to see him like this."Why would I laugh at you, Dad? I am a member of the Jennings family, and I wish for nothing more but for our family to grow more powerful, just like you.""Hahaha! Angela had a sweet tongue, to
